Boycott pages typically think they wield more power than they do. Mobage was made aware of the issue thanks to them sure, but Mobage would not ban someone just because some stupid FB page admin told them to. Suggesting that is, once again, just as dumb as what they suggest.

If people were mean and douchy, that is unfortunate, but has no bearing on the rightness of the Mobage decision. Ignorance of the law is never an excuse. And she paid the price yes, and now people know that Mobage will be very serious about it and no one will make that mistake.

Frankly she has herself to blame, anyone that thinks it is a good idea to give out your pw to get cheap coins does not get my sympathy when they inadvertently violate TOS. Every game site in the world tells you to NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD! And many of it state it is a violation of their TOS as well.

As for the hypocrisy of the FB admin guy, I don't care, that is not what I am talking about when I attacked your arguments. Though his concerns are valid. I would also raise an eyebrow when the #1 score is light years ahead of the #2 spot. If the person in #1 did nothing wrong, then they have nothing to worry about. I would be suspicious too, and she did not *beat* me personally. It has nothing to do with that necessarily.

I never said FB is the only reason this happened, the FB claim of power is exaggerated quite a bit, but I disagree when you say Mobage does not listen to them at all. I think it helped a lot more than you do, obviously.

The TOS says they can ban someone for any reason, a dirty pic avatar, vulgar feedback, etc. But they made their decision based on the circus this became. An ally of mine, a real life friend, had a picture of a penis as his avatar (funny right). Well all he got was a strike from Mobage on his account. Yes I know they are 2 different violations of the TOS, and I am not comparing the 2, but they could have given her a stike, or 2 strikes, or 15. Mobage knew what the outcome would be if they did that. The TOS does not state that one violation is worse than the other, it just says its our game our rules, but I cannot agree with you that FB did not have any influence in their decision. People make mistakes, and I don't see what is wrong with letting her redeem herself.

And about beating someone - and this is not a shot at you, but if people think getting into the top 100 is tough, try to see the competition for the front page. It matters to some people, and unless I am wrong, that is something I don't think you have experience with in this game. It is not easy to do, people who have done it know – those with high ranks don’t like it when you start to threaten their position late in the event.

You and I do not agree on anything, I already know and I am perfectly ok with you not supporting anything I say, so once again our arguments are going nowhere.
