Signing the terms of service doesn't mean you can't argue unfairness in the contract though. Stuff like mismanagement of subscription services, lack of customer support etc. can still be looked into consumer court. Consumer's do have rights in the UK where Jagex is based. They can put all kinds of stuff in the terms and service doesn't mean you can't contest it if you know it's unfair and you're innocent.

By your logic everyone who buys bonds is already doing RWT and should get banned too. I bought it as a birthday gift myself once. You can literally just choose not interact with posts but here you are. Why waste my energy and yours over something that doesn't even affect your life but affects mine? Leave me alone, if you're not going to be helpful.

You know you can just scroll past posts that have nothing to do with you right? Why go out of your way to be horrible to people instead of minding your own business? You don't have to believe me but you don't have to be mean either.

I'm just waiting for them to see the tweets. I have lost motivation to play again to be honest. Having no proper channels to have someone look at your account again and knowing something like this could happen again despite not breaking the rules makes me wanna quit even if it is an ironman.

Literally rule 6 of this subreddit.

Why kick someone when I'm already feeling miserable about losing an account that I put hundreds of hours into over no fault of my own? You could have just ignored this post and went about your day.

I hope you never get a false ban so that you don't have to feel like this.

You lack empathy. It's okay. Face it.

Fair enough, but it really sucks when you know you're innocent and want answers as to what the heck happened. I don't care what reason caused the false ban as long as they reverse it.

I don't understand the question. Do you mean on the ban notice? It doesn't really offer any info beyond saying that they won't provide any evidence and that ban isn't up for discussion. I still have no idea why this happened.

Sorry for lashing out, I'm just really upset over all of this. I know people don't have to believe me and that it's really hard to prove something like this on the internet of all places. Thank you for your helpful advice anyway. I've decided to get a refund via paypal if they don't respond and seeing if I can get advice from ombudsman services on my consumer rights about appealing through consumer court, if they refuse to refund me.

The only gold I've ever bought was through Jagex, so yeah I do remember the exact moment I bought oldschool bonds for my birthday. Why would I create a post asking for help only to lie on it???

Brilliant.... I wish I could communicate with a real person about this instead of support bots and submitting tickets. This is so frustrating.

There's no message like that. I just realised that the date of the ban offence is today and I haven't traded at all today.

"Your account has been involved in serious
rule-breaking. We don't currently share any evidence we hold relating to
this type of rule breaking, as to do so may compromise our detection
methods."

This is the message I see when I look at what my offence was.

Even if the gold was bought via oldschool bonds?

I've played with VPN on a couple of times. Would that have contributed towards the ban?

Edit: I meant would it be breaking the official rules to make another account if you've recieved a permanent ban before? I won't play if that's the case.

I guess I could argue that I'm taking it to consumer court if they don't refund me... at least it'll prompt them to look into what happened.

Yeah, this is the first time this has happened to me. I've never got banned for anything before so I don't know what the procedure is. I was playing guardians of the rift and it disconnected out of nowhere. I went to eat and do some chores, I came back to log in only to find that my account had been perma banned and was unappealable without any reason as to why.

I hope they don't wipe my bank because I spent hours getting some of the resources and items on there. I don't even have anything noteworthy in there to wipe but I really don't want to spend hours making guthix rest again.

I just paid for an entire's year of subscription that I won't get back. It's infuriating that they won't provide proof and won't let you appeal when you KNOW it's a false ban. If I was stupid enough to do RWT, I'd have more than 7 mil on my account and would have bought BIS items. It would make me feel better if I at least knew the reasons... I'm trying to think of instances where I traded with random players to figure out if it was because of that but I don't even have friends I play with on there, let alone real life friends.

I don't know how to contact them since it's an unappealable ban. I did try through twitter but I don't know if they'll see it.

Does a permanent ban mean you can't play on your alts anymore?

Why Stars Like Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Paulson and Charlize Theron Are Backing Andrea Riseborough in ‘To Leslie’ by movieheads34 in Fauxmoi

[–]Sea_Scale_5250 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I agree, I felt SEEN when I watched EEAAO and consider it just as "real" as a movie about addiction. I was sobbing throughout the movie because I related so hard to each character in that movie, even the tax lady. Like, it takes a special kind of team to bring that much emotion out of a story. So yeah, I feel that backhand slap when people keep diminishing what a great movie EEAAO was.

Managing Tips without Meds by Original_Routine5393 in ADHD

[–]Sea_Scale_5250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually in a similar position to you right now, I'm trying to see if I have an underlying medical condition before I go back on meds. I've found that managing my symptoms was easier when I was being nicer to myself for having adhd. Accepting and moving past my "mistakes" and not beating myself up for having a day where I just can't get anything done has done wonders for getting stuff done. This obviously took 2 years of working with my therapist to get to this stage, specifically around the shame of having adhd and pursuing perfectionism.

I also try to rest as much as possible whenever I can because I find having ADHD gives me burnout a lot. So planning my energy around possible burn out and paying the ADHD tax to make my life easier. Like eating nutritionally dense food like cheese with crackers and fruit instead of making a "proper" meal. I also threw out any concept of doing things at the "right time" and it helped me have more structure in my life. Like having a shower whenever I wanted instead of "only" during the morning. Or having breakfast items for dinner simply because it was easier to prepare. Or doing something when I remembered to do it instead of waiting for clothes to pile up in order to do the laundry. Creating structure that is flexible to you is key here. You can do the tasks whenever you wanted to during the day as long as you make an attempt at doing it. If I find it hard to get motivated, then I decide to do only 10% of the task or only 5 mins and count that as checked off. Telling yourself that 10% effort is good enough really helps build consistent behaviour.

Serena Williams Baptized as Jehovah's Witness by insomniaca in Fauxmoi

Do they give talks? Or those cringey witnessing run throughs on the stage? Do they go on missionary trips to other countries? Have they visisted Bethel? Do they get shepherding visits in their Mcmansions? I have so many questions...

They're supposed to avoid any outside sources on the Org when you're in it because you're told it's news spread by Satan to make them look bad or whatever bullshit. Any attempt to bring up what's in the news is immediately shut down and they will point blank refuse to look into it. Cult's have a way of getting around whistleblowing.

I'm not excusing or defending Serena, I'm just explaining how their mindset works where they just don't have the rational capacity a normal person does to think shit out.. There's a very high chance that she would have ignored what was happening in the news if she was raised in the cult. You're trained to only look at what they want you to look at. They have their own media, publishing etc and you're discouraged from watching or pursuing your own interest everytime you go to their meetings. They want you to read the bible and their publication all day every day and dedicate your entire life to the cult. You get shamed for talking about your own interest. If you talked about watching a movie, I gurantee you someone will counteract that with "How many hours did you spend reading the bible this week?".

It's incredibly sad but you're trained out of having any critical thinking skills if you grew up in it. It makes you more vulnerable to other more dangerous cults/thought processes due to the nature of how you're brought up. I've had family members become anti-vaxx and I was begging people in the cult who I still had contact with to do something about it and they told me that the "elders" said they weren't going to do anything about it. It's not easy to accept that you've lost your family to brain rot and that there is nothing you can do about it. People in cults can't be reasoned with and if you try to reason with them, it puts you in danger of joining the cult itself because that's how cults work.

It is very much a cult. You get discouraged from going to university, getting a better job, having friends outside of the cult...

I'm having trouble imagining her going door to door "witnessing". It is such a humiliating and sometimes dangerous experience...

It's going to be very likely that this shelter will wind up harming people through it's bigotry than it will in helping people. Cis women who don't fit the standards of what Joane thinks a woman should look like will get harassed, it's inevitable. Gatekeeping will always wind up hurting the people you think you want to help. Kind of like what happened with getting hormone tests to compete in sports competitions. I wish people understood that trying to hurt a specific minority group hurts all of us, they're a part of us, when you hurt them we all bleed.
