i believe there is a serious problem with funcom moderation and regulation. we see more and more strange things and ban without logic. people who don’t break the rules are banned and given no explanation. others who clearly break it and nothing is done to them. the regulation is not very clear and admins may sometimes abuse this thing. we read more and more of people who say they are in contact with admin and to be calm. I’m not talking about me because I’m calm with my base. But more and more people are losing everything for no good reason. the game due to this regulation and these admin is dying
I won’t say much here. I will only speak from my experience only.
I didn’t get banned though I should be, since my bases, not huge but over decorated was causing serious performance issues around my area.
So I let them decay
If however they would ban me I should accept it.
I never chat with a person that was banned except this forum, though to many players I know should be banned.
So I cannot see a reason for changing anything.
I always played thinking others too, never thought that I own the server or bullying others.
Maybe is better to start with the man in the mirror…

PC or console issue OP?
@Ragnaguard
True…
Yet my point here was not exactly as the meaning you get from this sentence, but to the ant that became elephant about bans in this forum. I didn’t experience this strictness that is presented in the forum from some posts, and I play this game too and I know decades of players that do not participate here. Some of them are still in the game playing normally without problems and have monsters not houses. But…
They do not know what hack is, they do not know what toxicity is used for and what undermase is. They use simple gaming rules to build without glitch or whatever…
So I don’t think that the company has great issues on how big is your build but where and how plus the above.
But as I said, I feel that the ant became elephant here and for this statement I see my cross coming, thank God I get used to spawn in desert, so bring it on

That was Conan Exiles 1.0.
Remember, we have Conan Exiles 2.8 now.
Yeah. We the players have to suffer because funcom have the most pathetic excuse for servers. Classic.

No, we have to suffer because people have the “need” to contentiously exploit and spam foundations and build excessively massive structures, often blocking things like world boss spawns dungeon entrances for years. But instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, and the effect they have on the servers they play on, they would rather blame everyone else and play the victim. The persecution complex is quite real and very pathetic. Oh, and also classic.

People being able to block dungeons is funcoms fault. Releasing dungeons and not making the entrance a no build zone from the start is their problem.
Allowing people to build in the black keep? funcoms fault like why is that even a build zone to begin with lmao.
Adding a dungeon into the game in a pre-existing area (Klael’s Stronghold) Where people would build btw. Then complaining that people are blocking dungeons when their base was already there before the update? haha.
Spamming foundations to claim your own land so people can’t build a raid base next to you? or even people land claim blocking your base? Oh dear pls no.
People building massive bases in a game that’s only current selling point is the building system? Heavens no…

Yeah! How many times have I come to the same conclusion? In every case I’ve looked into is the answer to that. I have not yet seen an instance where the base was wiped only for size. There are a couple I still have questions about - like the one @JJDancer shared a screenshot of. But every time I’ve been able to know more, it’s become obvious that there were multiple violations going on and that size alone seems to not be FC’s primary concern.

Maybe you have a point here, If devs didn’t allow this behavior then these problems wouldn’t exist.
Can you understand however the reasons they allowed it?
Do you know that once you could actually build inside unnamed city?
Do you read players complaining about the “build is not allowed here”.
It is not just one aspect of the game, there are plenty and they try to cover them all. Not long ago, in a post of a beautiful member @TeleTesselator, too many members tried to explain the different gaming experience only in pve aspect, official, private, coop single player. Pve c and pvp again official and private are not the same.
But let’s stay to official…
Again…
These servers are FREE.
They have NEW rules, hoping that NEW PLAYERS, will arrive and find a healthy environment to enjoy their gaming FOR FREE.
Didn’t we get enough FREE GAMING all these years?
This is how we say THANK YOU?
ENOUGH!!!

Foggy, I can only agree with that thinking so far. Like in casual or ignorant mistakes being made. It’s not FC’s fault that people build in some of the ways they do. There’s a shared responsibility here and the lines of fractionation clarify themselves as a coefficient function of consideration. ie. just thinking about.

Certain spots in unnamed city can still be built in. Even a incredibly common mesh spot.
No build zones need to exist.
I’d argue these servers aren’t free since you purchased the game.
Is this how funcom says thank you to it’s player base and people who support this game with their own money? Wiping their bases and banning them? and I’m not even talking pvp players now. Imagine you’ve played the same official for years you’ve built and built from years of farming suddenly there is these new “rules” for official servers then your base gets wiped and you get hit with a lengthy ban.
Yup this is how we say thank you. Give our feedback that these rules just aren’t working. Bases being wiped for being to large is unacceptable.
Foundation spam from noobs beach to sinkhole with vaults every 15 foundations is one thing to wipe but wiping a base thats fully functional is a different matter.
i’ll die on this hill. The base wiping and banning needs to stop. Wiping the base is one thing but to also eat a week ban simply because you built your base up too much? LMAO come on.

I agree with this part 
of that… Mostly the banning bit tho… It’s an actual mistake in FC’s logic given the established ideals of fairness in on-line life and gaming.

Rent a server and bring all your friends there to build as much as you like. It is not a pay to win game, but our complains will finally make it. We lead our selfs to this direction because we are unable to appreciate.
But you know what, I am wrong and you are right, sorry If i bother you.
i’d argue siptah dlc is pay 2 win.

You are right…
i believe there is a serious problem with funcom moderation and regulation. we see more and more strange things and not enough ban with logic. people who break the rules aren’t banned enough and don’t read rules. others who clearly break it and nothing is done to them because not everyone reports. the regulation is not very clear and admins may sometimes justifiably do something I disagree with because I broke the rules. we read more and more of people who say they are in contact with admin and to be calm. I’m not talking about me because I’m calm with my base. But more and more people are losing everything for good reason. the game due to this regulation and these admin is thriving
You’re absolutely right, OP. We do need new admins. More harsh ones. Bans for everyone. If all these threads are an indicator for how the “innocent” act, then we definitely need to double down on bans. There’s still so many more that need to go

You got me chief, that I am. And guess what? The discord is way less toxic. We have a zero tolerance for the level of absolute rudeness these people display on a daily basis. Any sensible community would shoot down any of this relentless developer bashing and blatant ignorance of rules. They’re starting to give people a taste of what consequence is and they’re biting back.

I can’t remember the sentence Andyb used for a similar post of a dear member here.
Good one m8 
This is 100% opinion and speculation. I make no claim of any knowledge of how the admin process is implemented.
From my experience, admins respond to complaints rather than reviewing each server and looking for violations. This will mean some folks will get away with rule breaking behavior because they are not being reported.
And, realistically, it has to be that way due to the sheer amount of manual effort required to look at all servers for violations.
I do agree that the rules are ambiguous, at best, but I highly doubt there is any admin abuse. My thought is the admins approach this with a growing amount of annoyed reluctance. Since they must review each complaint that is documented correctly, i.e. screenshots and map coordinates, I suspect they spend a good deal of time wading through requests that do not violate the rules but are initiated out of player anger, which has got to weigh on them.
And the complaints that do not include the required background information must still be parsed, which means they have to read the anger and bile of players that will, if these forums are any indication, include insults and accusations. From experience, this is wearisome.
And then there are the borderline cases. My guess for these circumstances is that multiple admins get involved. This can’t be easy.
But, when a complaint is deemed valid, the admins are bound to implement the rules.
The important thing to remember is that the admins are implementers of the rules, not the creators of the rules and getting upset with them is misplacing the responsibility of the situation.
