Banning
Bans can range from anything from being a session ban to days ,weeks, months and much much longer, depending on what the offense was.
- Automatic banning is in place to automatically ban a famer for certain offenses and or repeated offenses. Specifics on automatic banning will never be made public.
This helps to prevent those that my try to avoid getting banned knowing what those may be at any given time.
- Specifics on what any farmer has been banned for will not be provided to other farmers. The famer banned will know how long the ban is for.
- Banned farmers chat in the Farm Town chat windows in various areas of the game can not be seen by other farmers.
- Banned farmers can not communicate with you via private message in game.
- You will be able to see a banned farmer if you have not blocked them.
- Other farmers will know when a farmer has been banned by their avatar name being changed to Temporarily Banned.
This modification to avatar names can not be altered by the banned farmer while the ban is in place. It will automatically revert back to the farmers normal avatar name once the ban is lifted as long as the avatar name is not offensive.
Other farmers can not change their avatar name to Temporarily Banned.
- Support and Forum Moderators have the ability ban farmers, extend bans, reduce or remove bans. They are unlikely to be in the game at the same time you are, or even in the same areas where the problems may be happening to be able to see it, so it is up to you to act accordingly when you see a problem and either Ignore or Report if necessary to send them to your Blocked User list.
How does someone know if they have a ban?
If someone has been reported they may receive a ban from using the chat and messaging features. This does not block them from playing the game.
These are examples of the messages they could see:
If you need help with a blocking issue:
- You have been blocked from using chat and in game messaging and you think it's a mistake.
- You have reason to think that the blocking and reporting methods may not be working.
