A GM won't ban you just because someone said you were spamming. They have all the chat logs to be able to research the claim.


Correct. Often times, many people like to throw the threat of reporting around, and never actually submit the report.

In any event, Halzek, our Game Masters are not in the habit of suspending someone on hearsay. If you did not violate any of your chat policies, then you should have nothing to fear.

If you did violate our policies and it's a first time offense, it's unlikely that we'll provide a ban off the bat. We do prefer to educate our players and teach them the boundaries of what is acceptable in-game. A warning or short-term suspension would be likely in this case, with subsequent offenses garnering harsher punishment.
