Freedom of Speech

Day 2,256, 13:34 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Massacar

Hello again,

A few of you may have read my earlier article, you know, the one that didn't attack the Admins at all. Well it was taken down for "Flaming" with no chance to appeal.
I'm still angered at the lack of result that we've gotten for Mick, so I've filled a ticket with erepublik, for all the good it will do.

This is what I sent them, sorry that I couldn't have written a better one.

"Hello, since my banned article is not able to be appealed I have decided to send in a official complaint. Now I understand that there is a set of rules of behavior to be followed, but when the admins don't follow their own rules it's not okay.
It is blatant censorship to flag every article that is lodging a complaint against the admins as "Flaming" and not allow it to be appealed.
As the UK is a relatively small country in game, perhaps your office is not aware of the brewing unrest being caused by the admins. The rallying cry of "Justice4mick" can be seen on many feeds, and articles of protest are being mass produced. These protests are being silenced without any answer by Admins, and the result is simply making a unfortunate occurrence become a resentful movement.
This entire debacle could be solved by simply one or two of the following steps:
1. Refunding Mick Cain the cost of 20 rubber plantations in gold.
2. Returning the aforementioned rubber plantations to his account.
3. Ceasing the totalitarian level censorship that is currently in action.

If your company fails to appease the offended parties, it is likely that you shall continue to experience this rise in "Flaming"reports, and bans in the eUK.

If this Ticket should receive a response, please do me the courtesy as a paying customer to actually give some sort of indication that it was read."

If this article should survive until I get a response, I shall be sure to let you all know what it is.

And now the response,

"Hi,

The articles in the media were removed because it not allowed to make public a private conversation with the staff.

Second, regarding the case, we applied the same rules as we do in all these situations and we cannot make an exception now just because people ask. These are serious cases where we need to be careful what procedures we are following because in the long term, many more players can be affected.


I am sorry about your friend case but I will kindly ask you to stop with this subject because we cannot do more to help

Kind regards,

Taina I
