D&D Online

I had a joke in my bio and got accused of selling in game items.

Permabanned without so much as an investigation or warning. 1 strike and you are out.

If they'd have checked the logs they'd have seen that I've never sent items to other players, only my alts.

I agree with the ban.  If they allow such a BS excuse, then those who are really doing it will be able to say it is just a joke.

This applies to other area of life.  Such as joking about a "bomb in a US airport".  Or jokingly yelling fire in a movie theatre.

This is nothing like a bomb threat in RL.

1. It's a video game

2. There was no threat implied

3. since I wasn't actually selling items, I didn't break the EULA. No items transferred to any character outside my account.

I did nothing wrong except make fun of Turbine's inability to police their game.

It is like the bomb threat in that the people controlling the environment can do things to you for doing so.

I am so glad you got banned and that you can't even begin to understand why.
