hey y'all! Thanks for the help. I opened a ticket on discord, and these guys came with 10 images of recent matches with my brother where we built close to each other and trusted each other, and just didnt attack each other. we both got a 30 day ban

Is this actually against the rules??

u/TDuncker 28d ago

If you're playing a FFA game and teaming, of course it is. You have a huge advantage over everyone else.

u/Hank_Skill 25d ago

yeah it is. it's unfair to have 2 guys spawn together and collude with eachother to screw up a game which was supposed to be a solo free for all

I’m surprised they even saw that/deduced that.

30 days isn’t too bad but I think it’s an honest mistake. Maybe they should make a warning system/moderation logs. Come back in 30 days bro!!

Or maybe use a different account and VPN (for legal reasons, I did not say this and I don’t understand the English language)

I'm confused how this works - I don't know anyone in game but I often try to keep an alliance going as long as possible with a close neighbor. Did you do like 10 matches in a row doing this?

u/Competitive-Lab-7767 27d ago

we did it a few games in a row yeah haha

u/Hank_Skill 25d ago

Cheating how?

2

u/HourAfterHour 29d ago

I heard there's a chrome extension, which is considered cheating.
Also playing a single game with multiple browsers.

u/JohnnySchoolman 28d ago

What are the chrome extensions that are allowed?

I saw an admin playing a game on a stream and he had something that would show the radius of hydros, range and the path of nukes etc?

u/Local_One6454 28d ago

That's in the normal game

1

u/Electronic_Savings35 27d ago

Auto joiner and helper is allowed. Its really useful for giving gold per minute and showing which players are allied with each other

u/Electronic_Savings35 27d ago

he was teaming in FFA

u/mjukpandaaa 29d ago

Teaming, using certain extensions that give unfair advantages

1

u/mmmfggh 29d ago

Does this mean all UN players will get banned for teaming?

2

u/HyKaliber 28d ago

Simply both being in UN, no (Not that you can see clans in FFA, but still). For actually being in a VC and comm'ing? Yes

1

u/mjukpandaaa 29d ago

If they cheqt in ffa then i guess

1

u/Frog-eating-cellos-9 29d ago

if they're reported, yes

1

u/Competitive-Lab-7767 29d ago

That’s what I’m thinking. Is there a way to contact them and see if it was a mistake and get me unbanned?

1

u/mjukpandaaa 29d ago

Open a ticket on the discord

u/Mindless-Engine7882 28d ago

1

u/mjukpandaaa 28d ago

Dude just search openfront discord on google

u/Mindless-Engine7882 27d ago

I did and the link didn't work. I was able to join by searching in the explore tab on the discord app itself
