It is in fact against the rules to talk about being banned publicly, as it is the users responsibility to either take credit for their wrong doing and/or speak politely to staff about possibly repealing the ban or shortening it.
However I don't believe in this instance we should be worried as nothing was explained and it's simply a friend delivering a message for us all to wish a fellow member farewell for now. We should respect that and bid them a thank you for being here with us and good luck.
Hello! We are sorry to hear about this situation. I have received your PM, so feel free to discuss it with me further there! Unfortunately, I will have to lock this thread per Forum Rules and Guidelines:
Discussion on Bans and Reports
You are prohibited to make a thread or mention in a post about being kicked and/or banned from in-game or on the forum. If you were kicked and/or banned, then it was for a reason. If you have a question about it, however, then you are referred to a moderator or an admin. As for reports, do not go and make a thread reporting a user. When you are reporting somebody, you are to send a private message to a moderator or an admin for them to handle it. Any threads discussing a kick/ban or reporting a user will be deleted upon sight.
We hope we can settle this further if need be. We are here to help! <3 Please try and avoid discussing bans or reports, even from friends asking you to.
Much love.
