I posted it to show that I made a stupid mistake. I took your advice and appealed the ban at help@tanki.com. The incident that got me banned to begin with is over-worded, but it is fairly accurate in detail. I appealed to the supreme court (help@tanki.com) They assigned me me a case number, (above) and said they would look into it. They told me why I had been banned much like you see it here (but with some exaggeration on my part) I want people to know that when you don't follow the rules and get banned, this punishment is what will happen. (for those that have always wondered what happens when a person gets banned) ( and I thought it would be entertaining.) Moderators, will you please lock this post ?

It has come to my attention that my Viceroy has been banned for the duration of 1 week. He has provided me with a statement to present in his defense. Your Highness, I have been banned recently for posting a comment to a thread in the complaints section. I have been banned for 1 week (starting Nov. 18 2012) In defense of myself, the Comment/Reply, (was in fact) against the rules, and I did deserve it. The member had posted (complaining), that he was getting "short-changed" on his recent purchase of crystals from PayPal. Having recalled from my memory that some people had not quite figured out the math formula that Tanki was using to grant said discounts from PayPal during a previous "sale" they had been promoting, and felt this particular player had perhaps not been aware of the manner in which the staff members at Tanki and PayPal do their arithmetic. The player had Posted as follows: "on Sunday November 18, 2012, bought 1000 crystals that become crystals by 1250 25% bonus offered until 19. Then you have to add additional 1250 bonus for double bonus cristal card. A total of 2500 crystals. I think you had 16,913 and I have added 2100 cristals :huh: .I have 19013 cristals. So I have yet to add 400 crystals :ph34r: .Should have crystals in total 19413 :( I hope the pay as quickly as possible. thanks " I, of course, recognized this error and proceeded to comment. I wasn't commenting on the players math skills, rather I had merely commented that if he did in fact have close to 17,000 crystals, then why was he purchasing more. Further, I felt the current rank of this gentleman, (Major General), should easily allow him to be able to procure them in just a few matches. I continued to suggest the possibility that his playing style might not allow him to earn the crystals, in which case buying them was probably a better alternative. Always in Your service. GeneralVeers (Viceroy to the King of Tankiland) I do not condone the behavior of my Viceroy, He can....at times be difficult. But I ask that his ban be lifted so he may resume his duties as Viceroy. Cordially, The King
