Pretty much what Delta said, also would like to ass, being banned can result of being an ass hole. I don't know the person, but maybe they or their kids were mistakenly an ass to a mod or something.
You have to fuck up pretty bad to get permabanned on SG.

Doesn't seem likely, or I would already be banned. Hrmm....

In before the lock from admin, with no explanations, because administrative decisions regarding bans are not public.

I think many of us know exactly what happened just based on a little detective work today. This thread isn't trying to a get a response from support, but mourne the loss of a member of our community. Anybody who wants further details will have to ask her. I've only been here a few days and I was pretty shocked about the whole thing too. I definitely thought this was a joke thread with a giveaway inside at first, we've had a lot of ridiculous threads these past few days.

given the reason they are banned, there's nothing to m'ourn really

You're right, but some people might still have fond memories of them being around here.

I couldn't find anything. I still have no idea what she could have possibly done to warrant a permaban.

The people found out deleted thier comments. I hate them now ;_;

"No calling out" is a long-standing SG rule. They can't tell you what someone did, you have to find out for yourself (and keep that information to yourself).
It's frustrating, but there are reasons for this rule.

I can't say I knew them well, but I feel bad for their Steam profile page now too lol

Very hard, she seemed like a nice person, had her whitelisted too..but i guess support has their reason and we will probably never know.

well, this makes another certain ace of a community member look good :B1:

Easy to get perma ban. Takes one bad day for you get perma ban. Just one incident that may piss you off and make you do something that's against the rules for example if someone I told to stop begging on forums suddenly -rep me saying I added him and tried to scam him on my birthday I would not hold back I say tons of shit to them(4 months still waiting for support :( since all adds from users are recorded in activity and can be seen by friends even if they delete them as friend).
Comment has been collapsed.
Sometimes users want to and literally asking support for removal/permablock their accounts. It may be something based on random life situation, personal and rapid decission or an attempt to break the burdensome habit (site/forum/community). Of course that are just examples of reasons to ask about that.
Seen that a few times.
My strongly suggestion to not diggin around that in public forum, just in case.
Just saying. :)

Just can't see many users do that unless they got hacked by someone and had their account info stolen since seen a few legit people start spam stuff even though they were high level in contributor and had tons of games.

my advice is really general. if someone is curious what happened and that person knows her personally, contact via steam is better way imo.
that's all from my side, eot. :)

Oh nooo :/ she was also my whitelisted member. just WTH. I don't know about permabans but temporary bans can be mistakes for sure.

Having had a few "friends" go among the "missing", I have to say that it is one of the most disturbing things about the interwebz... :-( I didn't really know KoM, though I sent her an unrequited Steam friend request... This ban - well it feels like another type of body blow... Meh, guess I won't be coming our of my giftage hermitage afterall... you guys can be brutal to us mothers :-(
CG, I am looking at you for an explanation - you need to send a mod in here to provide an explanation for this "event".
Comment has been collapsed.
First off, cg doesn't answer to you or anyone else and doesn't need to provide an explanation for anything he does.
Second, get off your high horse.
Finally, less than two minutes of research and you can find exactly why the perma-ban was instituted. There are only three ways to get it, read those three ways and it becomes very easy to spot.
Comment has been collapsed.
High horse? Kettle = pot much? Seriously, if you know so much then just effing say it - some of us have jobs and lives and we don't live and breathe SG lore. We expect owners of web-sites to respond occasionally (instead of being the Great and powerful OZ), when crap like this happens and to explain wtf they expect their forum denizens to act like so it can actually benefit the forum in general instead of being some effing mystery or Joan of Arc story.
Yeah, get off YOUR high horse travathian and speak something besides more "SG-speak" :-p
Comment has been collapsed.
Try reading the rules. This is why no one is saying what happened
"Use the appropriate avenues for support. If you have an issue with another user, submit a ticket with a user report, rather than calling them out within the community or on the forum."
Why would support or cg need to explain anything. The rules are clear. If a user breaks a rule that has perma-ban as a punishment, that is what happens. Again, you demanding they explain comes off as dickish and high-horsey.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I don't personally have a dick - though I admit that I truly enjoy the one that resides on the person I adore :-p But if I had one, I'd totally be dickish... As to high horsey, hmm that might be fun if I owned one of those - but I have it on good authority that keeping a horse is expensive and one needs a lot of land - not really feasible in an apartment. So could you just say exactly what rule was broken to those of us minor-SG-peons that have worked 50 hours for another lord that pays us and keeps us in bundle games but don't speak SG?
Oh and for the record - I don't see you making "you're a dick/high-horse" commentary to the many other upset commentators... perhaps you just specifically target the obvious women - yes or no? Especially those that admit it...
Seriously - if you have some actual input then just share it. Stop being exactly what you are calling me :-p

Scroll to the bottom of this page. 3 things listed say permanent.

And no, I cant say more, again, see the rule I posted above.

Yeah it's pretty obvious WHY one might get permabanned, what most of us don't get is where this alleged evidence of KoM's rule-breaking is
Comment has been collapsed.
Out in plain sight for you to see if you go looking.
I knew nothing about this user before I saw this thread. It literally took me two minutes to figure it all out.

Same here. Woke up and this was the first thread I saw.

Well, I saw that her steam profile has many people asking what happened, at the very least she'll know many of us are shocked and dismayed. Hope all is well with her.

This has got to be some sort of glitch. I can't see why a member like her would get permabanned.

Are we all gonna get ban for discussing mods decisions now? ;)
But seriously, seems like some kind of mistake. Mods are ppl too.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not that I agree/disagree, but as you're saying it, mods could make mistake. Doesn't that also mean that Keeper could have made a mistake?
I'm just saying, things happen. I'm just going to let this be personally.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mistakes come in all sizes, so I wouldn't say no mistake should warrant a permaban.
Comment has been collapsed.
By mistake, do you mean like an accident? If so, I agree. Some people do legitimately break the rules on accident because they either didn't read the rules or didn't understand them. Only one of the permaban rules, multiple accounts on one IP, can really be an accident dont you think?
Comment has been collapsed.
Please delete this comment immediately. What you're doing is calling out and starting a witchhunt, and it's against the rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
How so? OP asked what happened to a banned member. I am simply doing the same for these 6 valuable members of our community.
Comment has been collapsed.
Do as you may; Just don't tell me I haven't warned you.
To be fair, this whole thread should be deleted regardless of what is true and what is false, otherwise I have a feeling this will turn into a complete disaster. :P

I think it already is... But troieve went offline, so now we can just wait for mods to close it

What is sad is that someone, whom seems for all intents and purposes, was a happy and contributing member of the community, felt that they had to do something that resulted in them being banned. I feel very sad for them. Very sad.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since a lot of users already found the reason she was banned and that it is very legit reason - I think you should better close this thread, it's very much "calling out" now...
Comment has been collapsed.
I agree. I've been saying that the past three pages...
There a "witchhunt" rule established on SG, especially implemented to avoid this kind of "drama". :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm that little annoying voice in your hear dictating the entire rules of Steamgifts, constantly nagging you everywhere you go.
I have no shame in being the annoying dorky asshat! >:D

See, but a witchhunt implies we are looking for a witch to burn.
The witch has already been burned, people just want to know why.
If it were a tempban, might be calling out. But a permaban? Those dont happen on accident, and the user isn't ever coming back. The purpose of the rule is to avoid witchhunts, so that we dont embarass/hurt/shame someone who might be innocent. The hunting is over, the witch is toast, I don't see why discussing it should be against the rules.

I'm shocked!!
Im shocked too however i dont know them except that " BL & Won " thread. They were online 37 minutes ago and probably noticed their ban Reason now !
And i see you already asked them about that on their steam profile. So i`m waiting to know about this suddenly Perma-ban too !
Comment has been collapsed.
Think it's time to close this. Several people in this thread seem to have figured out the reason, and aren't taking issue with the suspension. cg doesn't permaban lightly.

I was just browsing through SG people's profiles to build up my original whitelist after my last event and the temporary one when I stumbled upon KeeperOfMonsters' profile and discovered that "permabanned" tag.
I'm shocked!!
The last post from her was 17 hours ago, so this is still fresh it seems. I always noticed her as a very valuable and active member of our lovely community here. I can't believe this. She can't even say goodbye. Anyone else sharing that feeling?
(I hope this thread is not perceived as calling out, if so let me know, I'll close it, but I had to express my shock somewhere).
