95% of the ppl banned from forums were people that admitted to botting.
then u have ppl saying it wasnt them, being sarcastic, saying they got their account hacked, etc and treatment and consequence is different for all. There is no equality shown thus far, some have more conclusive evidence than others and haven't been banned. Then you've got like 10 people jumping on ONE person because they KNOW they botted, but proof never seems to be enough. If you check the exposed botters list, theyre like no-names in these forums..cuz they really dont care thats why they came out and said 'yeah i botted'. Sylhana vs Luoma, not to be mean but sylhana seems in just as much guilt as luoma, yet one is still banned and the other isnt. Ito's chars been caught, instant ban even though it wasnt her on the char. The rest, came out and basically said 'i bot'. Crumps, Fly, NB, etc have scammed and been banned for botting, u've got like a handful of people jumpin at them in topics that get locked..why do they pounce on em like that? cuz theyre sure of it. Will they get banned? doubt it.
as for me im just gonna sit back cuz i cant really prove anything, i dont play on all servers and cant screenshot or fraps anything if theyre not on babel, and even then i WOULDNT submit it to ban someone here because its just not worth it. In-game, some of the coolest people are botters, there are awesome legits too, but i wouldn't do that to a fellow babel comrade..even if theyre in a guild i hate.
For the past year or so, people on these forums (whom will remain unnamed), have told me they bot. Other's have told me that they've asked someone for a bot, others have talked about it in vent, and word of mouth has just spread about SRF-ers that bot. I can tell you none of them have been banned yet through this 'Exposed Botters' thing, and they probably wont because as soon as one person who's a closet botter gets someone else banned, domino effect takes place.
personally, i wouldnt like to see any more people banned. It's just f*cking up these forums and the people that have been banned, aside from 1 or 2, they really dont do much here anyway.
i just had to get that out, if you read it thanks, if you didn't then no harm done.
Fudge, if you've read any of my previous posts, you know I agree with you. Some of my good friends in-game bot, some don't. And I could care less. I always get a kick (or get sick?) out of people who have a holier than thou mentality. I suppose it goes with the territory. The internet breeds this kind of bullshit
