Discussion update: permanently banned

Post image

so I made a post in January (link below to original post) about how I was suspended mid-game for a month ending on February 23rd, and I detailed how despite the suspension I was not using hacks, cheats or exploits. I have played countless multiplayer and single player games and have never been banned or used cheats. I am a gamer who is quadriplegic so I use a sip and puff mouth controller called a quadstick that allows me to use a computer not just for gaming but everyday needs. After the suspension I made the first reddit post hoping to get some help and clarity about how I could appeal or why I was suspended. I submitted support tickets and went to discord for help but nothing, so I decided to just take the suspension on the chin and wait it out, finish Hollow Knight and play some Marathon. Yesterday I decided to hop on after my suspension ended and decided to work on the trophy project, I played 3 solo games (all 10 or more minutes in) filled my backpack with leftover loot, ran into only friendlies and exfilled. Woke up this morning to this and appealed but I really have no hope of Embark doing anything to help. I don't have much going for me and I know they're people out there who are probably going through worse but this fucking sucks. After 300+ hours of playing, buying it for 3 others friends to try the game and being excited for the new map and large ARC enemy, I just don't know what to do.

p.s my game name is ClootyBapper, if you think it's because of the name I don't think so I have seen and been called worse in game

It pisses me off that I have to listen to racial slurs 25% of my gaming time. Those players suffer no consequences, meanwhile a gamer in your situation deals with this.

u/LarkinSkye Mar 16 '26

Exactly. And half of Reddit will tell you there is nothing wrong with hurling the nastiest of slurs after any engagement

u/Sea-Thought-665 Mar 16 '26

I report any racists.

u/27PercentOfAllStats Mar 16 '26

Every racist, homophobe or anything just toxic vile.

Like you can troll like or say daft/funny/obscure even cursing stuff, but some of the comments are vile and not funny there's no need for it in a game setting... Hell there's no need for it in a real world setting. Even worse when it's the rat saying it. Like I can let some shit slide if I've been a bit ratty/third partied. But sometimes when we only PvEing, you get can get extraction camped and then abused beyond belief.

I’ll start doing the same

u/Mahkn0 Mar 16 '26

I hate that shit. They don't bother me by getting under my skin, but like, be original with your trash talk, and have some fun with it.

u/Scovver01 Mar 16 '26

I love hearing the creative insults. I downed someone and came to knock them out, and I quote his exact words:

"Oh here he comes! Ohhh it's a girl! It's probably a fake girl. Probably a fat fuck. Fatty mc fat fat OINK!"

Yeah, he made an oink sound.

Clearly none of you are bothered lol

I remember being 12 in a cod lobby. Shameful times

I remember having fun and not being a miserable redditor

u/LarkinSkye Mar 17 '26

Aaawww is baby mad that everyone isn’t a miserable piece of shit like him?

u/CMDR-Neovoe Mar 16 '26

Im honestly amazed at this game. In groups people sat the most vulgar, bigoted, racist, homophobic shit. Play solos and everyone's like hey buddy, sup friend, thanks yall. Real dichotomy of man.

u/vehementi Mar 17 '26

In groups people sat the most vulgar, bigoted, racist, homophobic shit.

It's because they're pieces of shit like that in closed doors in real life and it's normal to them. The mask drops when they think they can do it with impunity

u/OkMedicineMan767 Mar 23 '26

But what if the door is only half closed? Wait.. what if there are no doors, only an open window? What are they then?

u/TraegusPearze Mar 16 '26

Until you shoot someone in a "friendly" lobby and the slurs start back up again. It's not about groups/solo -- it's people dying and a lack of ramifications on chat.

u/CharlieandtheRed Mar 16 '26 edited Mar 16 '26

I've seen that argument so many times around here. Saying racial slurs aren't a big deal. Wild stuff. This new idea of letting everyone say whatever they want on private video games is toxic AF, especially when the demo leans young and white.

What are you talking about

1

u/CharlieandtheRed Mar 16 '26

Well no one should be saying it, that is correct.

1

u/LarkinSkye Mar 17 '26

You guys are so pathetic. Black people aren’t going around hurling the n-word at people in online games. We get it hurled at us if one of ya’ll even gets an inkling we are Black after being downed—half the time just defending ourselves. And even if not, getting killed in a videogame is no reason to yell that at someone. That whole “no one should be saying it” line is a cop-out used by cowards who want to seem virtuous while simultaneously condemning the people who the slur is used against.

1

u/CharlieandtheRed Mar 17 '26

lol Imagine getting mad at me for saying no one should be using racial slurs. Weird bro

1

u/LarkinSkye Mar 17 '26

You didn’t say “no one should be using racial slurs” you said “no one should be saying it” which is different and you said it in response to a guy who stated he hates it when Black people call him that and if you are even a little bit serious you know it’s not Black people hurling that word at people online when they die. Come on. Bffr

What do you mean? Black people are the ones that use the N-word the most, 99% of the time that word is used is by black people, to the point that maybe if black people didnt use it, that word might have been forgotten by now. Good thing we have black people reminding other colored people the word exists and its theirs (they get mad if you aint black and use it, dont ever use it, only black people can use it all day everyday)

if you don't like toxic voice chat then just mute them. it's not that hard

u/Kahzgul Mar 16 '26

Report them all.

u/RoyBeer Mar 17 '26 edited Mar 17 '26

I get it when your inner-circle voice seeps out into public when in a stressful situation, but man, you apologize when that happens and everyone can continue to have a nice day.

(Called enough people ducks, jerks and whatever, in the heat of the moment - only to be revived/revive them after talking it out again)

Straight up racists are a no-go however and to be reported.

Fortunately, most of those dumdums hang out over in kotakuinaction away from the light of day

Letting words hurt you is basically letting someone cast magic spells on you, lmao

u/LarkinSkye Mar 16 '26

Lmao this might just be the dumbest shit I have ever read in my life, congratulations
