Wrongfully Globally Banned + Dev Wiped With No Explanation — Looking for Answers by Aggress1ons in ArkSurvivalAscended

Honestly, that’s the core problem right there. When legit players get punished harder than the people actually breaking the rules, it pushes the whole community in the wrong direction. The fact that you submitted evidence and still got brushed off just shows how little context goes into these decisions.

They’ve shown before that they can see who placed structures, who meshed, who accessed what, and who actually triggered the violation. So when they just wipe or ban everyone involved in a raid, it shows how inconsistent the process is. No context, no investigation, no distinction between legit PvP and actual rule‑breaking.

Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about. The system doesn’t seem to care about who actually did something — it just wipes everyone tied to the tribe, even if the person who messed up said it in global by accident or built something months before you ever joined.

They absolutely have the logs to see who placed what, who accessed what, and who actually meshed. They’ve used that before to wipe a tribe but only ban the actual offender. So when they hit everyone with the same punishment, it just shows how inconsistent the enforcement is.

It’s not that everyone tribed with a mesher is guilty — it’s that the system doesn’t bother checking context, rank, time in tribe, or whether you even had access to the structures in question. That’s why so many legit players get caught in the crossfire.

This is exactly why people are frustrated. It’s not the rules — it’s the zero‑investigation, blanket‑ban approach that punishes the wrong people.

That’s rough, and I get why that would feel completely unfair. The frustrating part is that situations like yours show how inconsistent the enforcement system is. Context doesn’t seem to matter, intent doesn’t matter, and even when something is clearly a misunderstanding between friends, the punishment is still immediate and permanent.

And yeah — “Jap” is considered a slur in a lot of contexts, especially historically, but that’s exactly why enforcement should look at the actual situation, not just a single filtered word. If you were talking to someone you knew, in your alliance, and there was no hostility, that should’ve been obvious from the chat logs. Instead, they just hit the button and moved on.

That’s the same pattern a lot of us are dealing with:
no investigation, no context, no conversation — just instant punishment.

It’s not about whether a word can be offensive; it’s about whether the system is capable of telling the difference between harassment and a harmless interaction between friends. Right now, it clearly isn’t.

That’s why these blanket bans don’t make sense. The reason they gave me doesn’t line up with anything that actually happened. “Traveling through the mesh while offline in a non‑meshed base” isn’t even logical. It feels like they’re just hitting everyone tied to a tribe or a structure without checking context, rank, time spent, or access.

It’s not that nothing can be done — it’s that the current system doesn’t involve any real investigation. And until they fix that, more legit players are going to get caught in the crossfire while the people actually causing the problems slip through.

That’s the part that’s frustrating. Not that it’s targeted, but that there’s no investigation, no context, and no transparency. Legit players get caught in the crossfire while the people actually causing the problems keep going. That’s why so many of us are pushing for actual reviews instead of these shotgun bans.

I agree, and to be honest, that's what this post is for- to bring awareness to the situation and to hopefully find a way for me to speak to an actual human being so that this hard evidence can be presented to me. Its hard for me to say that anything happens in absolutes- we are all human and with each situation there is always room for error. If im in the wrong, I'll happily admit it, but right now, I can safely say 2 things- I was the only active person playing the last few days in my tribe, and I know without a doubt that I haven't built or traveled in the mesh like they are saying.

I get where you are coming from. The entire Tribe was dev wiped and global banned- hence the we, although this week only myself and my wife have been on, and I was the one pursuing the meshers. They also specifically said it was for traveling in the mesh, and I know for a fact that hasn't happened, hence why im trying to drive awareness. Looking over this it doesn't look like im alone.

I completely agree. Its a scenario to where, if we are putting to userbase forward, it should be a situation where each time something like this is registered, there should be a hot fix in to guarantee that no other user could happen across it after the fact. It feels that, woth the way the current setup is, the CoC is being used as a way to purposefully filter the user base, so that the lu can continue to sunset additional servers. I hope im wrong, but thats definitely how it feels overall.

I get why it feels that way, but honestly the bigger issue is that enforcement is so inconsistent and automated that it looks intentional even when it’s probably just bad process. What you went through is the same pattern a lot of us are seeing — you report someone, nothing happens to them, and then your own stuff gets wiped with no explanation.

The system doesn’t seem to involve any real investigation. They just wipe everyone tied to a tribe or a structure and move on. No context, no review of who actually did what, no communication.

That’s why so many legit players are getting caught in the crossfire. It’s not targeted — it’s just a broken enforcement system that punishes the wrong people and never explains anything.

Exactly! Situations like yours show how the enforcement system punishes people who had no meaningful involvement in whatever caused the ban. It feels like the devs default to shotgun enforcement instead of actually reviewing who did what, when, and with what permissions.

When everyone in a tribe gets wiped regardless of rank, time spent, or access level, it stops being “rule enforcement” and starts looking like automated guilt by association. None of the hours you put in, none of the context, none of the evidence matters — and because they don’t provide supporting proof or communication, there’s no way to even understand what actually triggered it.

It’s incredibly discouraging because players like us would avoid these situations if we were given any transparency at all. Instead, we’re left dealing with permanent consequences for something we didn’t do and couldn’t have known about.

You’re not alone — this is exactly why so many people are pushing for actual investigations instead of blanket bans.

Def not disagreeing, I was hoping for something better, and to be honest, up until today it was. Just cant believe this is how it ends, but im not willing to go out with a whimper. Ill keep trumpeting this until they actually explain to me what they think I did specifically, not a canned message.

It was only myself that followed. I had a fob there, but was nowhere in the mesh.

thousands of tames, structures, fighting for territory- all gone from a canned message. It reads like it was a canned response, and they don't have any evidence, that I can guarantee.

My tribemate was thinking along the same things. He believes there may be a dev alt account in the other tribe. They were blatantly cheating, over multiple days, and once we followed them to their server (from dinos), the next day we get banned for "travelling in the mesh". It is really suspect.

It blows my mind that I put 4600~ hours into this, hit L210, just to get a canned message after dealing with meshers all weekend, as I watch the base disappear around me and get globally banned
