I can somewhat understand that, but our understandings of things does not dictate reality.

If you're interested, here (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...0&postcount=36) is a comment where I addressed this in another thread. Here (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...2&postcount=39) is a brief follow-up comment.

I can only speak for myself, but the answer is no. The only notification I got was when attempting to click into the Diamond Dynasty section of The Show was a vague network error pop-up message that read: "You are banned: cheating, abuse of the game's points system, etc."

Interesting. To me it's still a tough sell that you'd get banned after a few cancelled transactions. If that's truly what happened then I hope your situation is rectified. Truly I do. From my perspective and I am a cynic, it's hard for me to buy that's how it went down for so many people.

Well I hope in your case if the bans are mostly coming from this cancellation exploit then you may have only been caught up in the mess a couple of times and the ban will be very short term. Not knowing the number of times the data is saying your user id exploited the market is tough and understandably frustrating.

Yea if you did this unwillingly (like 1 time) you will get your account back. Just give SDS some time and they will fix the situation. It's been a day at most they are probably being flooded with emails about this. Or you can tweet Ramone and ask him to check your account and see how many times you abused and how many stubs you got doing it.

Also I'm with Bkrich if you are getting millions of stubs from this you should know something is up. You can't persuade me to say you had no idea how you got that many subs.

I completely understand. I appreciate the kind and mature words.

I hate the idea of wasting time trying to defend myself online, but my character and integrity is something that I take very seriously. I know how skeptical people are about these things and rightfully so. I also know that a lot of people will automatically assume I'm lying because almost everyone does. That's not me though. Lying is one thing that disappoints and angers me more than just about anything besides acts of violence against other people. I have been put in some awful situations because I won't lie to people. If anything, I just hope that San Diego Studios investigates this further in the hopes of preventing people from being banned like this in the future when they either did nothing wrong or did something that they have no idea of.

I totally understand. As I said I am a cynic by nature. That said if what you say is true from what I've been told your ban should be short lived. Good luck to you.

Oh, they're not all temporary bans? Well, that's great to hear.

I pay very close attention to the amount of stubs I have and I have never noticed any differences except for one time like maybe 4-6 weeks ago where I hadn't been on in a few days and I logged back on had maybe 28,000-40,000 more stubs that I remember having. I think I went from what I thought was like 40,000 or 45,000 stubs to around 70 or 75,000. I thought I just remembered the amount I had incorrectly. Plus, I had some transactions go through during that time so I didn't really think anything of that other than that initial thought of "hmm...I thought I had less that that".

I usually try to keep about 50 or 60,000-100,000 stubs free for buying and selling though so I almost always have something in that area.
