Is is bannable to build in the gutter and those holes around there?

Players have been reported as being banned for building there however the exact building violation reasoning has yet to be disclosed.
The enforcement team has been silent on the specific reasoning and many suggest it’s because it’s a POI location that is blocked however I have a different take in that the only way to build there in way that makes it PVP legit base is by overusing other techniques that will get you banned (over use of layering and creating a lag-base).
If you are uncertain, I wouldn’t build there because it’s a known spot that cannot be reinforced without the overuse of building exploits/‘creative building techniques’.

If you aren’t obstructing passage through a map or interfering with an event/boss spawn location then you should be good. That said you may be seeing a situation where a certain spot is being reported on so that a new owner can move in.
No, it shouldn’t be. Only reason for getting banned should be blocking relevant in-game content that everybody has to have access to, keeping bosses from spawning or building an oversized fortress for land claiming purposes only. But in the end it all comes down to how Funcom assesses the situation IF they ever even bother to check the reports out. In my case they have done so twice over the 6 years i’ve played and multiple land claim situations reported. They just don’t care that much unless many clans report the same clan/user.
That happened to us in the Crevice, we don’t spam foundations all over like others do, we just build what we need to fit every station, bench and other stuff that’s needed and of course some walls and such for protection and defenses. Not even nearly the biggest on that server and still we were the ones to get banned and lost everything we had worked for without any decent reason except the fact that the other clans reported us when they couldn’t find our stash even after many raids and we kept on rebuilding.
Reality is that there is a skill problem on their side, especially for pvp official gameplay, it has improved with years, but still it exist.
so honestly i lost all hope with what i saw which was ;
- a fc admin that came on a pvp server because multiple reports about an asian hacking clan. and so giving a ban to 30 + players of around 8 clan for building oversize (as if you don’t have to build huge base to try to protect from cheaters that can dupe bombs), but leaving the hacking clan alone on the server (not ban). when my ban was lift after 2 weeks for building abuse, i found their sky base. this has happened at beginning of zendesk implementation, and ignasis and hugo were out of the loop as no more their responsability but the one of the zendeskj team.
- spending more than one month to locate a very deep undermesh base under wolf cave of some people abusing a server for several month, and realising that the ban that was giving to them was only 2 weeks…
- saw also in some case a only 2 weeks suspension given to some people using heavy hack (third party program) when accounts should have been closed.
with time things have improved as their admin acquired some experience, but we are still far away of what we should expect, and all will really depend on which admin is looking at the problem.
