contact customer support. make a big stink to them. nobody here can help, but if you feel you were unfairly banned then contact support and state your case to them.

[–]Mishka1125 377 points378 points  (41 children)

It's not about getting unbanned batman, it's about sending a message

[–]possibly-a-pineapple 721 points722 points  (46 children)

You already paid for the game, customer support has zero reason to help you

[–][deleted] 601 points602 points  (26 children)

It’s OP’s realm that they pay for according to the post.

Mojang/MS should refund for the lost days as an absolute minimum. They probably won’t of course.

If this keeps happening though it’s going to send MC ‘underground’ where we end up with no option but to go down the piracy route. What an utterly idiotic state of affairs.

[–]8urnsy 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Realms are so glitchy. I had proof I paid 3 months for a realm subscription and during those three months the realm was not accessible, like it just didn’t show up. It was acting like I had never played on a realm before. Literally just taking my money and not giving me the service.

I complained to customer support and the best they could do was one free month of a realm subscription. So I just lost out of two months I paid for.

    Especially considering you're probably going to be talking to Microsoft, not Mojang.

    Show of hands, who here thinks Microsoft gives a single fuck about its customers after a sale has been made?

    [–]muhlisgursoy 34 points35 points  (1 child)

    To be honest yeah, recently I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and it made sound glitches on my Bluetooth headphones while using both at the same time. Contacted Microsoft for a solution, none worked (sfc scannow, driver updates, reinstallations and etc), finally they just said "get yourself a USB Bluetooth receiver".

    [–]ADMINISTATOR_CYRUS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    usually same thing happens on ms forums.

    SFC SCANNOW etc, always same answers

    when that doesnt work they dont respond

    [–]Familiar_Contact9073 41 points42 points  (1 child)

    Yeah true, they don't care about anyone after they have got their money

              you'll always be able to play single player. how are they gonna check to see if you're playing the game if you haven't even connected to a server?

                      This is why our server will continue 1.18 for the forseeable future.

                      Sucks, really wanted to incorporate the mangrove wood into my new city im working on.

                      EDIT: 1.19 still has encrypted chat even though it doesn’t have reporting. So theoretically if what happened to OP is true, it could hypothetically happen to us on a 1.19 server as well.

                      add the chat reporting blocker, problem solved

                      edit: there is a way to un-encrypt messages

                      edit 2: link i think, there are others that work as well probably. just look up chat report blocker on curseforge and you'll probably find a few more

                      They’re literally trying to make it so that won’t work, which is utterly stupid. Big server mods say it’s nearly impossible to run a server under mojang’s new strict and unclear rules. Parents say the rules are too harsh for their children. That plugin is the only way we can still truly enjoy multiplayer without fear of being banned for joking around with our friends. And their trying to remove it, good job mojang.

                        They can't force that on Java Edition. That's impossible. Mods will always be able to block the chat moderation. At least if a mod/plugin to block this is installed on both the client and server.

                        The best and worst thing about Java is that you will always be able to see the full code of a program.

                        I really hope they don’t read this, just gives them more incentive to try and retire Java edition

                        [–]Romejanic 35 points36 points  (11 children)

                        I’d like to hope so but Java edition currently doesn’t make them any money after they’ve sold a copy of it. Bedrock has the marketplace and creates a more steady stream of income. It makes business sense for them to cut out java edition and force everyone onto bedrock to encourage more people to use the marketplace.

                        [–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

                        Too much free marketing from Java content creators. You think SciCraft is going to bother with the inconsistent Redstone of bedrock? What about the other SMPs? They all use cinematic mods at a bare minimum.

                        [–]Juliandroid98 68 points69 points  (4 children)

                        If they would ever axe Java and force us to play Bedrock i'm quitting this game for good.

                        I'd rather not play on that buggy mess filled with microtransactions.

                        On the bright side, modders get to stay on the same version forever

                        [–]weebomayu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

                        Which is sad because despite the bugs it actually runs so much better than Java. Seeing how fast the chunks load on a ridiculous render distance is amazing. Java is too spaghetti for that unfortunately :(

                        [–]TheGoldEmerald 7 points8 points  (0 children)

                        If they stop axe java, that isn’t the death of it due to things like minestom and mods

                          Nope. If they did that they'd lose their entire Java population.

                          I think this is probably the sole thing keeping them from axing java honestly. They know they’d lose too much of their community with it

                                      When I first heard about the new chat reporting, literally my first thought was:

                                      "Someone's going to make a mod or plug in which will disable this"

                                            You could update to 1.19 the chat report was added in 1.19.1

                                            Chat reporting was added in 1.19.1 but secure chat messages and all the problems they cause were in 1.19. Try using any plugin or mod that modifies chat output such as roles, chat colours or anything else like that and it crashes the game out or kicks the user off the server. Even on 1.19 you need to use a no chat reports modification to get previously straightforward functionality to work.

                                              You can just update to 1.19 there's no chat reporting there. Only 1.19.1 has chat reporting

                                              Of you own the server you can use a backport mod. Basically adds 1.19 to 1.18 with various success. Especially if you had admin you count/give a sapling

                                              Can I ask why you don't go to 1.19? Chat reporting wasn't introduced until 1.19.1, so is there risk at making the jump from 1.18?

                                              You can still be reported on 1.19 but you can’t report others

                                                      And the word filter is utter garbage, you can write a perfectly fine sentence and get censored for no reason at all. Write the same thing right after and nothing happens. It's utter trash and Mojang should be ashamed to let such thing in the game.

                                                      The only problem is that Roblox just censors your word. Minecraft removes your ability to play the game

                                                      when i used to play i said whatever i wanted and exploited the hell out of every game i touched on the platform. no bans ever over a period of like almost ten years. maybe 1 strike related to exploiting.

                                                      Roblox does not like to do platform bans. They leave it to devs to moderate their own games mostly. But this can also happen for literally any reason they choose. I've prebanned people in games I've made.

                                                              most likely Microsoft's decision to push a more "suitable game for all ages", and mojang doesn't say " alright we've had enough ". It's showing true colors, they are either scared about losing funding or something from Microsoft, or they want to ruin the game. Either way, this is a stupid situation that could have been avoided if they took the communities input

                                                              it is possible, but believing in their statement this easily is weird

                                                              mojang stated that every decision they've made is theirs alone, which is untrue, at least C418's music is not coming back for now entirely because of microsoft

                                                              it was confirmed by one of the leakers a few years ago that the ideas of mojang can easily be "rejected" by microsoft if they think that it's a time loss, and this leaker also said that mojang is kinda forced to make "hyped-up updates", later it was mostly confirmed because we've got long anticipated nether update and cave update right after that.

                                                              microsoft is the owner. mojang is the game developer. microsoft > mojang. their tweet about "every change is entirely our own decision!!!" is a lie and it's obvious lol

                                                              I guess it is something called "corridor". The owner/customer decides the walls (boundaries of the project in terms of costs, function, strategy, etc) and the direction of development and all decisions in between the walls are the developer's. So yeah, it can be Mojang's decision, but tied up by Microsoft's demands.

                                                                              Mojang of course has the right to not let their login/skins servers be used by accounts caught soliciting minors etc, the question is just whether the banning is over-zealous, and without details (which seem intentionally withheld) it's hard to get sympathetic for OP.

Id never trust a damn thing microsoft says cuz they never been honest about shit when it comes to them banning whatever services they own for any reasons they want even if nobody else is ever involved

Not saying this OP did but I've definitely stopped taking the word of random people online about their perceived innocence.

                                                                                            [–]That_Guy381 91 points92 points  (8 children)

                                                                                            [–]fixxitt412 44 points45 points  (7 children)

                                                                                                  Not sure if anyone can report you if you don't use 1.19 tho

As unsolved 'moderation at scale' is, it is real people that review Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc reports. Most of those moderators are contractors through companies like Accenture and Cognizant. No reason to believe Mojang would be in any different position.

                                                                                                                        A while back Casey Newton did a really good report on the Facebook moderators and the trauma they go through as a part of the job https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/25/18229714/cognizant-facebook-content-moderator-interviews-trauma-working-conditions-arizona. Though, 'in fairness', I would imagine moderating Minecraft would be a bit less traumatic, as there's no/little video and images.

I've seen all kinds of debate & debacle on what, when, where, and why this happened to OP. But from what I can see, I think there's some important questions left unanswered.

                                                                                                                                                •What did OP say or do, that could supposedly WARRANT a ban of any sort?

Why would he do that? What would be there to gain from reporting him? Especially if we take into fact that Op's friend 'supposedly' got banned 6 days later?

                                                                                                                                                •Is it possible for a player to continue playing on a Realm, if Realm Host gets banned?

                                                                                                                                                This might sound a lil' crazy, but hear me out.

                                                                                                                                                Lets say, Op's Friend did report OP, and got him banned. And then also lied to OP that he was banned too.

                                                                                                                                                Is it possible. That OP's friend just locked OP out of his own Realm, and now has the Realm to himself?

                                                                                                                                                Pretty sure OP is lying in some way though - why does he refuse to explain what he said?

                                                                                                                                                Video game developers don't just "ban for doing nothing" they want more people to play their game not less. OP is leaving out details or at the very least is leaving out something unintentionally. He likely played on a featured server and said a slur or spammed someone.

                                                                                                                                                    (I realize OP can just deny it, but maybe they did do something and they'll be honest about it.)
