My forum ban.

Why i am banned:
  • No reason was given for my ''website ban''
  • I assume it was because of me advertising my blog on the forum
Why i am suprised i was banned:
  1. I have been a member of the maplestory europe community for nearly a year and i felt i was friendly with Nexon, i allways kept to the ToS and they allways let my screenshots through, even the ones about my blog like this one.
  2. Nexon had a Blog event before, so i thought that they where in favour of maple blogging.
  3. Nexon has blog parts on their website.
  4. My blog is suitable for anyone, i don't swear, i don't flame other members, i don't promote hacks or try to steal accounts
  5. As soon as someone said about posting links to my blog 'might get me banned' i stopped linknig to my blog and sent in an inquiry about advertising
  6. Nexon has never seemed to have a problem with my advertising before.

What i cannot do because i am banned:

  1. Post on any of the maplestory europe forums
  2. Comment on updates
  3. Enter maplestar / the screenshot compitition
  4. And finally, i can't post any screenshots, which is a big heartbreaker for me.

What can i do to appeal my ban?

  1. I tried sending in an inquiry appealing my ban but it's been two days and it still hasn't been read
  2. Maybe a GM will read the blog and hear my case, but probably not.
  3. I could try and wait it out, but there was no set time for the ban to appeal so it may be permanent (let's hope not)

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot
of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.
