The simple fact is this. Hezbollah violated Israeli sovereignty by crossing the UN blue line (entering Israeli land) and attacking Israeli defense forces. To make it worse, Hezbollah then kidnapped Israeli citizens and hauled them back into Lebanon. This is no simple action. That is what is called an act of war. Israel responded to this act of war by fully committing its defense forces to prevent further aggression against its citizens (Which is one of the primary responsibilities of government). Unfortunately because of the special cir!@#$%^&*stances in the region it is impossible for Israel to make targeted strikes against Hezbollah without copious amounts of civilian causalities. It is not Israel’s fault that its enemy choices to use Lebanon citizens as human shields. Why should Israel have to sit there and allow rockets to rain down upon its cities, sit there and watch their borders be invaded and their citizens kidnapped, solely because their enemy shields itself with civilians. This is not terrorism. This is war. Hezbollah is a part of the Lebanon government. Lebanon was ordered by the UN Security Council to deploy its army into the southern border area and completely disarm Hezbollah, that was years ago, they are still armed and the Lebanon army is not deployed. By not disarming Hezbollah, by allowing them to take part of the government, and by not preventing them from committing acts of war against their neighboring nation the government of Lebanon is just as guilty of Hezbollah’s crimes as the Hezbollah organization itself. For those of you living in the United States… Imagine if Mexican paramilitary forces crossed our border, attacked one of our army bases, and then dragged some of our citizens back into Mexico. How do you think the United States would view that action? Do you know historically what violating a nation’s sovereignty is? Do you comprehend that a government’s foremost responsibility is to protect its citizens? To protect its sovereignty? For those of you living in Europe, imagine the same thing. A paramilitary force with ties to a neighboring countries government invades your nation, kills and kidnaps your citizens, how would your nation react? I doubt your nation would react with diplomacy. I doubt any nation would react… with diplomacy. To hold Israel to different standards then we hold the rest of the world is asinine. I feel horrible when I read of the civilians being killed in Lebanon… the infrastructure that has been lost… knowing how long it took Lebanon to create that infrastructure it pains me to see what has happened. However, that does not mean Israel’s actions are wrong. In a perfect world, armed forces would still dress in uniform (to distinguish themselves from civilians), they would not shield themselves under civilians and the Geneva Conventions would be honored. This however is not the case now and presumably it will not be the case ever again. This is just the beginning of a much larger conflict, anyone who believes anything can be gained by knelling down and capitulating when your sovereignty is threatened is being unrealistic and at worst... foolish.

Network BanG administrators have no right to touch local bans FOR ANY REASON. This has already come up with you Joe and you were told not to do it again. Zones may ban whomever they wish and in this case several zones on SSCI have locally banned a player. It doesn't matter who it was that placed the bans in the zones, they are still valid local bans that are not within my jurisdiction. (?listop, do you see Death+ name on that operator list? You do? Well then it is a valid ban which is off limits to network BanG administrators) I have already told Spyed what he must do and that is talk to the zone owners. If Death+ won't let them lift the bans the zone owners always have the option to move to a different host who is less abusive. (Not that I am claiming Death+ is, I don't know why he has banned Spyed and I don't care, as I stated above, it is none of my business when zones locally ban players. This is a RULE.) SVS

Not really.

As I said, I have no involvement with local zone bans, you need to speak with the person who banned you. SVS

Zones may ban whoever they wish locally. There is nothing I can do about it. I would talk to the zones owner and see if he can get Death+ to lift the bans if he lacks the ability to do so himself (no level 1 BanG).

I guess I should probably explain my posistion on this to be clear. Netbanning for cross-zone spamming is only to be done in the most severe of situations. This rule can apply to a chat channel but there are some restrictions on that. 1) You may not network ban someone for cross-zone spamming any chat that could be made local with no problems or a chat that could easily be changed (Staff, Squad chats, etc). 2) The spamming must be extremely excissive. Using one alias to spam your chat does not qualify for a network ban. Using multiple aliases to continually avoid ?ignore while spamming your chat does qualify. Also for it to be considered extremely excessive the spam must last for a considerable duration and be quite rapid. 3) If the ban is ever disputed because of the questionable nature of this type of network ban I need to have a log of the event which if the ban was warranted should be easy to get.

I have white space up there still You are probably using an ad blocker. SVS

Are you guys seriously trying to make a carbon copy of 17th? Coz it's starting to sound like you are =/ Lamo Newbie

You will notice at the top of the forum there are pinned topics. The second one down says "IF you have been networked banned.." inside that topic there are instructions on the ONLY way to dispute your ban. For tracking purposes and just to prevent me from going insane I need to have people actually follow the directions pinned in this thread and given to them in their ban message when they attempt to login while network banned. If you make a topic here and do not follow the directions in the clearly stated pinned topic your request will not be processed. In locking these topics I am attempting to help the players actually GET helped. If I don't lock them and allow all of the usual posts from people trying to figure out the details of the ban it will give the player the !@#$%^&*umption that he is being helped when in reality he is not. Following directions equal speedier results.

You just bumped a really old thread wonderer... Locked.

If you find an SSC host who will host your zone you will get hosted on SSC, if you can't find one willing to host you.. you don't get on. Simple as that.

Currently there is only one way to have a name reset and that is by submitting a form to ssbase.com. I realize you submitted one sometime ago and never received a response but there is nothing else I can tell you. Mackie either looked at it and declined it or he never viewed it. I can't give you the answer and until the current policy matter on this changes I apologize for the inconvenience.

Please read the sticky threads before posting in the future. http://www.ssbase.com/billing.shtml

Or, perhaps I have nothing else to say because I already stated everything you needed to know. If you weren't a !@#$%^&*ing illiterate !@#$%^&*hat you would STFU and do what I say. You asked for help and I gave it to you, sorry it wasn't what you were looking for you newbie. Also, since you are perhaps the most re!@#$%^&*ed poster this forum has seen since ZCraft I will give your stupid illiterate !@#$%^&* the direct link to where you should be going since you are incapable of following extremely simple directions in the PINNED topic in this very SUB FORUM. LINK FOR THE ILLITERATE RE!@#$%^&*ED NEWBIE http://ssbase.com/billing.shtml I am a member of the SSCouncil which decides on what network policies will be used. The policy is that all name and squad resets will be done by Mackieman and you shall contact him by use of the form available at the link given above. I have given you the link not once, but twice and instead of following a few simple directions you proceded to !@#$%^&* at me instead. Get it through your uneducated possibly canadian skull that if you don't follow the simple directions I have given to you multiple times you will not get your lame !@#$%^&* alias back.

Please only email the address given to you when trying to login, that is the quickest way to reach us.

A zone owner may do whatever he wishes in his own zone so if your problem is with the zone owner my suggestion would be to just stop playing in that particular zone. If the problem is not with the zone owner but with staff in the zone I would bring it up with the zone owner or another system operator of the zone in question.

Moved to tech support.....

Moved to the SSC forum. You were banned by Hoch of SSCU Death Star Battles for wall hacking. May I suggest that next time you email bandispute@sscentral.com as the message you recieve when attempting to login tells you to. NOT posting on a forum system. SVS BanG Administrator

Is it really so hard to understand that the only identifying factors available are his MID, IP and what he entered on the reg form? Is it so hard for you to understand that none of it matches? Is it so hard for you to understand that it doesn't matter what you say, there is no proof that they are the same person. You saying it is not proof, his MID, his IP or other data matching is proof. You guys are reASSS and a prime example of why your opinions mean !@#$%^&*.

What is funny about this thread is just this week something happened which is a perfect example of why we have adapted this policy. These rules exist for a reason, there is no way a nick can be reclaimed by someone other then the rightful owner with these rules, making exceptions opens room for abuse. I am sorry you can't access your name but the system exists for a reason whither you can accept that or not.

Actually it can be undone.. it is just tricky. I fixed this, everything is back to normal.

A squad name will not reset as long as there is anyone squad joined to it. The squad owner will show up as *UNKNOWN* if the squad owners name has been reset but people remain squad joined to the squad.

Most broadband users have dynamic IP addresses which change. Your MID is a number the client generates on install based on your HDD volume ID. If you reformat your HDD it will change your MID.

passwords cannot be reset SoM unless the MID and/or IP of your current name matches the one you are requesting to be reset. This is the only way we can varify ownership, there is no other way to do it safely.

What about people like Priitk Gridlock? People who have access to zones or billing? People who haven't logged in for months.. years but still have the access. It raises serious security concerns. Then there are the people who placed for 5 years, stop playing for two and come back. They deserve to keep the same name they used for 5 years. That is why the rate or reset is so long.
