Hey Bubble I'm not sure if you tried this yet or even thought about it but what about giving them a call and leaving them a message there? They do eventually get back to you. I made a call a while ago and it took maybe a week to finally get someone to call me back but they were nice and pretty helpful. If you need the number you can pm me for it. Perhaps talking to a person might be easier than trying to do this through email? Anyways good luck to you and we are SO going to have that party when you get back on! :hug:

Paul, I would love to say your correct about disney but you are not anywhere near correct. I use to work for Disney and was there almost 8 years before I had had enough and left for good.
I started working in food service and then got into the entertainment division..YEA! But I can tell you as a employee, the entertainment department employees are treated like royality and the others like trash. Granted I worked my butt off in the entertainment department but it was a dream job. Disney was a great place to go and visit and wonderful to work for, but I left when one CEO, which I won't name, ruined the magic of the whole experience that Disney had. Underground and backstage tours is just one of many ways that were never ever envisioned by Walt. Granted Disney is for children but tons of adults go and just love it, but behind the scene tours were nothing more than a way to line his wallet and build up his stock options or golden parachutte.
Now I live about 25 minute from WDW and I haven't been in 9 years, because I can't afford to take my kids. Admission prices just went up to 71 a piece, per person, per park. So for me to take my 3 kids and myself would cost me 284 plus 10 for parking, oh and then there is the 10 small container of popcorn and 5 dollar 20 oz bottle of soda. Anyways going to disney is something I will probally never see again and my kids won't enjoy the magic of disney either. On a side note, when I work for Disney (magic kingdom) the park was always spotless, and lines straight for the rides and so on. Well the last time we visited Magic kingdom I was sick at the pure filth and no real lines for ride, people cut you and everything, it was a miserable experience. I did complain to customer service and they just said sorry but we are a busy business. So when I got home, I called disney and said I was disappointed and they said sorry but things change and as long as people enter the gates they aren't going to change. So after that phone call, we bought season ticket to universal studios/Island of adventure. My kids love universal, but they would love to see what Disney is like. Hey maybe I will win the lottery someday..LOL
Anyways, I guess my point is, that in todays society it is not the customer is always right anymore. It's about money and if you, the customer, aren't happy or satisfied you might get a so sorry, but they aren't going to do anything about it.
If someone gets the right phone number to call and gets help please let me know! I would really like to get the ban removed from my record and I refuse to write vmk again, plus vmk shorty said I would be banned much longer if I wrote again and frivilious issues.
Take care everyone :)

WOW this amazes me. I have been to WDW twice a year for the past 7 years and have not seen this. Last time I was there in April a bottle of water (Dasani) or soda was $2.25 for 20 ounce and a 12 ounce water was $1.25. The popcorn in the souvenir bucket was $4.00. I did not find it dirty I found the lines organized as everything has queues. I still find it magical.

Pink thanks for asking Fin for me. That was sweet of her to wish me luck, although you wonder if she knows how tough a process it is to get unbanned :lmao: Lost, I can't believe that Shorty threatened to lengthen your ban. The number that rickyratsmom posted a few pages back for VMK Operations worked for me today, and I left a voicemail (this also responds to your comment Batty :) ). Now let's see how long it takes them to call back!

So here's what I'm wondering. After Bears said that scripting program is short keys, what about VMK Pal? I used the Short keys in there a few times during my ride the other day because I was having so much lag. On VMKPal, they cite a newsletter where VMK says it's ok to use those if running a game or assisting people as long as you don't spam the screen. Now I know several of you wonderful DISers sat in there with me most of the night. Did it appear as if I was spamming? I was using them to welcome people to the ride and give instructions. This couldn't be what caused it, could it? Especially since I was using them within the guidelines. I wish they would just give me a freaking straight answer as to what I did, so I wouldn't have to rack my brain for anything I may have done the past month.

Arg. They really don't make VMK player friendly :( I can't imagine being a parent who doesn't play VMK and having to deal with your kid getting banned. It's tough enough for adults who know and "understand" *cough* VMK to figure out what's going on. Again, thanks for all the help, letters, supportive words, FreeBubble rooms (cough Roller), FreeBubble chants (cough Roller and Samariah), and FreeBubble clones (cough Roller again). It means more than I can, especially after today's news. :hug: to all of you

I use the short keys all the time .. almost everytime I go through the Monorail ... I remind people to turn off their sounds setting and they won't crash ... if that is a VMK violation I'm in big trouble. So much for trying to help people not crash. :headache:

Yeah I'm not for sure on this at all. I was just trying to think of ANYTHING I could have possibly done and when Bears said Short keys, this came to mind. Other than that, I'm still at a loss....:confused3 This is the only thing I could think of that would relate in anyway whatsoever to their email response and their reason for banning.

And Red, thanks for joining the chant on my behalf. I've seen a few of you (Roller, Pirate, Titanic) with the Free Bubble in their signature and honestly tears welled up.

From what I have read Short Keys are ok as long a you allow a 4 second interval between each use. Well I was in your quest room and I guarantee you did not exceed that! More than that is considered spamming. Hopefully you will be contacted soon. Have everything ready when they do call. The codes and anything else you can think of. Also I do not know if this is possible, but if you are being banned for using some third party program to generate codes invite them to log into your pc to view all programs, files etc. I know this is possible with many larger companies, like Macafee, Roadrunner, Microsoft etc. Since they can ban an IP I believe this is possible. Good luck we are all rooting for you!!

Yes, they can. All the emails in the world won't make any difference.
Bubbles has to talk to vmk staff to find out the reason for her ban and ask for a review. Once it's been reviewed, they will decide if it's fair or not. If found to be a fair ban, it will stay. If found unfair, they will lift it with a lame apology and nothing more.
Don't waste your time or vmk's time with a flood of emails. It won't help her cause and may hinder their progress by taking time sorting through all those emails.

Note to Bubbles: I see where you stated having used VMKPal's short keys for a game room. Did you know that VMK does consider VMKPal to be a scripting program? It is not a part of Disney's software, it is user created and not approved for use with VMK. Just an fyi.
One more thing. Sometimes bans happen days after the offense occurred. Were you entering a lot of codes any time within a week before the actual ban? It sounds like your ban was a computer-generated ban, not one from a live moderator. Something triggered the computer to place a permanent ban on your machine, character and/or IP address. Ask them if your ban is a three-way ban. Sounds like it is. Keep in mind, some bans DO get overturned.
Best of luck with this!

Goofy,

For the record, VMK CANNOT TELL if codes have been "generated" or not. There is simply NO WAY for them to determine the difference, since, the codes are NOT generated, but rather "Harvested" - the term "Generator" is somewhat misleading, since all the programs I have seen or heard about were simple harvesting programs.

No need to shout and this is off topic. I didn't say vmk could tell they were harvested codes or generated codes. She may have been entering hundreds of codes one day and banned a week later. That was the point I was trying to make.
I will edit my previous post, so there's no further confusion.

Just to clarify, she did not say that VMK can tell codes that are generated from a generator. It is the volume of codes entered at a given time is what the trigger could be for the "computerized ban." Mimi's point was did she enter a large volume of codes.

mtlhddoc2
08-25-2007, 09:03 PM
well, they do not do the volume/speed bans any more so thats definately not what it was. I enter a large ammount of Sparrow codes every day and never even get a warning, much less a ban. And by large ammount, I mean 1500-2000 per day (and 250,000 codes later, I STILL have not gotten a sparrow costume)

I was not shouting, but rather accenting. Shouting would have been if I had put every word in caps. No need to get offended over something that is COMPLETELY (accented, not shoutng, so there is no confusion), completely ON topic since you are attempting to decipher what the ban could have been for.

If I was to hazard a guess as to what the ban was for, it was that someone who does not like her is friends with a staff member and she was targetted for the ridiculous ban by a staff member who loves his/her suckups.

Ok I've officially called them and am waiting to hear back. Hopefully it will be soon.

I know about VMK Pal, but VMk has specifically said that short keys are ok for game rooms or assisting people. In terms of codes, I never enter more than 50 a day at most. The week before my ban, I entered waterslide up and down codes from Tigger and I believe a few Sparrow ones, and then the three Holiday cards. Other than that, there weren't any others.

That's all I know to tell you right now.

I'm very sorry to hear what happened, Bubbles. Hope you're eventually able to get the ban cleared. It does sound like they can't make up their mind what you're being banned for. :confused3

When all is said and done, I think there are too many fine lines when it comes to interpreting VMK's house rules. There's something seriously wrong when even long-time players who share a wide base of knowledge can't understand what VMK really means.As you know, many people have purchased the 'Pirate' pinsets for friends and reimbursed them. It is the same as selling an item.Technically, this is not the same. The reason that buying the pin sets does not violate the TOS is that you are really buying pins, not game items; the cards they are on just happen to have "free" codes on them. Reselling them wouldn't be any problem, that I can see.Did you know that VMK does consider VMKPal to be a scripting program? It is not a part of Disney's software, it is user created and not approved for use with VMK. Just an fyi.Here is a quote from VMK's April 2006 newsletter:Q: Can I use a program to help me enter my Codes faster?
A: Scripting, which includes any programs or utilities that use scripting capabilities to perform rote tasks (ie: entering codes), is a violation of the VMK Values. Any player caught using ANY scripting program may be banned. We allow exceptions for Players using a scripting program to repeat helpful texts used to run a game or assist players, provided the tool is not over-used to the point that it floods the chat window and makes it hard for others to chat.This does not appear to automatically make the use of VMKPal's scripting function a violation. But who knows; somebody else could have ruled differently since then.For the record, VMK CANNOT TELL if codes have been "generated" or not. There is simply NO WAY for them to determine the difference, since, the codes are NOT generated, but rather "Harvested" - the term "Generator" is somewhat misleading, since all the programs I have seen or heard about were simple harvesting programs.I heard differently. Last year, players were being banned for entering codes that had originated from generators, "harvesters", whatever you want to call them. Didn't matter if the codes had been innocently obtained in trades; apparently VMK came up with a way to determine their origin when players entered them in the game, and acted accordingly. This got to be such a problem that some forums ended up prohibiting further code-trading for the items.

But back to Bubbles' situation. It just floors me that VMK would pounce on her for volunteering information about buying codes on Ebay, even if they arguably have the right to.

I've never gotten the impression that VMK has tried to track down which players were selling these codes or items in the first place, which would seem to be necessary if they were serious about stopping the Ebay sales. But they've never managed to put teeth to that part of the TOS. (And I think the Ebay "Dreams" promotion just made the whole issue more confusing to players.) To take advantage of one person who obviously didn't think what they were doing was wrong, when they've let slide so many who put codes and items up for auction, just seems out of whack.

They definitely could tell when some codes were harvested by a generator when the narnia codes thing happened. There was a web site that created a generator and admitted when they got caught and warned any users of the generator. They read the HTTP header packet and identified that the generator had a unique request that wasnt the same as when the game generated the link.

mtlhddoc2
08-26-2007, 09:20 AM
actually aengus, the request might have been different, but the code was not. They only caught people because, all of the sudden, an item which was 1 in 5000 codes was being put into the system en masse. People were putting in hundreds of them and selling them because each teleporter sold for 50 credits. they do not/cannot store the ip address which requested the codes or anything of that nature, unless they want the database to explode.

I'm very technologically challenged. But some how during the pirate well thing, they were able to differentiate between those from the quests and those that were not. Maybe they were "harvested" a different way??

True but what they did, was capture the IP address of who generated that code. I am sure they didnt leave it running because like you said it would hog a bunch of resources. But that doesnt mean they dont turn it on from time to time. They knew when to turn it on because there was sort of a countdown from a particular web site as to when the generator was coming out ROFL. Typical huh ROFL. They were taunting VMK pretty much with it and showing how smart they were. VMK was ready for them because they were so bold ROFL.

Of course they really were targetting the people who generated the code in the first place. Just like you said, once its a code its in the system, I doubt its flagged any differently than any other code in their system.

"Hello again. I'm still rather confused on my ban. While I appreciate the replies I have been sent, they have not helped me to understand what I did. I have been accused of using a third party program, but I'm not clear on what that even means. Could you please send me proof of my wrongdoing? I've had an entire online community attempting to help me figure out what I have done, and so far, none of us are having any luck figuring it out.

I cannot hope to get any help from a live person if I don't even know what crime I've been accused of. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. "

I tried to be as polite as possible without sounding ticked that I don't even know what I'm specifically accused of. Their generic replies back aren't helping... But I really would like to know what SPECIFICALLY I did so I can prepare what to say when they call me back. Accusing me of using third party software doesn't really help me any. Just a small update.

That is not true. People were Accused of entering Narnia Teleporter codes, but there were none found in their inventories.
Yes. VMK makes mistakes. That was just one of many wrongful bans. They punished those who entered codes that were traded for on fan sites, rather than take the time to find those who generated and/or harvested them.

I would never give out personal information like that. Heck my own email headers don't even have my real name..LOL. The last I got from VMK was if you contact us again with this problem we will extend your ban. Nice threat wouldn't you say? LOL
Ok well we are thinking of you and crossing our fingers and toes that it gets resolved this week!!!
now hear that vmk guru? We want, not demand, our bubbles back!!!
Ok now back to regular scheduled programming....
Hugs,
Lost and little Lost

That is not true. People were Accused of entering Narnia Teleporter codes, but there were none found in their inventories.
Yes. VMK makes mistakes. That was just one of many wrongful bans. They punished those who entered codes that were traded for on fan sites, rather than take the time to find those who generated and/or harvested them.



Splitting hairs. Like I said before, there is no plausible way for VMK to track who got what codes when and how. It just is not feasible from a programming/database standpoint.

And they only banned people who had entered large numbers of codes or had sold large quantities of the teleporters.

But again, that is getting way off topic now by arguing verbage and splitting hairs as to what VMK did/should have done when the situation happened. Only heavy abusers were banned and I really do not think they were all that unfair, except the fact that there was no warning beforehand that using the harvester was against values.

Hello all,

I found this topic because I am extremely upset that my VMK character was deleted along with all of my Happiest Celebration Pins and gold stuff. (Supposedly, this was due to inactivity.) Does anyone know if this falls under the same problem? I was not warned of this and did not log in for 3 months because I had shoulder surgery. All i have gotten is a form letter reply. Have you had any luck getting their character's back?

Thank you in advance.

inactivity is different than a ban. I thought it was 6 months when they delete old accounts though.
Good luck, I never got my old orginal account back, but I was gone about 8 months

I thought it was if you did not sign on for 6 months that they started deleting accounts!:eek:
I just looked at my friends list and have people on there that have not logged on since 3/19/07. that is over 5 months!!

I have had some friends who have had this problem and vmk flat out told them when yout account is gone its gone :sad2: It seems like more accounts are deleting after three months than six months:confused3 Sorry that this happened to you.

Oh...my...goodness. All people working at VMK are robots. You know that nice email I sent them yesterday? If not, look like three or four posts up. Here's the "reply" I got today....

"Hi,

We have reviewed your ban and believe it to be fair and just.

The VMK Values state that you must NOT use ANY hacking, scripting or
editing program with the game.

We're sorry but we will not be allowing you to play VMK any more.

Thanks,

This has officially crossed the line from ridiculous to outright insanity. I bet if I had cussed them out in the email, I would have gotten the same response.

I'm just so angry I'm ready to hit the wall......

Edit: Here's the response email I just sent them
"I'm sorry, but did you even read my message? I don't understand what actions led to the ban. It is not a fair and just ban if you do not tell the player specifically what they did.

So sorry Bubble, but I am not surprised by the email. I can honestly say I have seen very few accounts re-enstated after emails. It usually takes a phone call or two. Of course if they never return your calls I just don't know how you could ever work this out :( I seriously doubt that whoever reads those, ok supposedly VMK Shorty, even checks into the situation. It looks like they log in, choose from a list of "canned" responses and moves on to the next. Again sorry, but I do not believe this is the last we have seen of our beloved Bubble!!

If someone who is 14 gets banned for 10 years. They will be 24 when the ban expires, think they will even remember there password? How do we know VMK will still be popular. Just imagine a little 6 year old kid getting banned for 10 years. How heartbreaking must that be for someone so young to get banned so long? VMK needs to mask shorter bans. On my first user I got banned for 1 month for saying I want to go to the beach. Someone reported me for calling them a beach! I was so upset, I sent VMK lots of unfair ban mail. That was like October though. These bans are not fair at all.

I got banned from vmk for a month all because my friend got my computer banned from fooling around with it! Now both my two computers are banned for a month! But oh that's just what I thought, a month, but no it was more!! It was ten years I realized!! I logged back in and they changed the date. It is now 2018!! Now i am so mad. My dad won't change the IP address, and he won't get another computer! What do I do now!? Is it really true that I am seriously banned for ten years! Please reply back to me.

10 years is a permanent ban most likely. I would email VMK using Contact Us to see what the reason was. You can also try to get the ban cleared from your record but your friend probably messed you up for good. :(

Your answer is in bold. And your ban is a permanent ban. It says so on the Newsletter page under Scam Alert (important part in bold):

Scamming is equal to theft and a violation of the VMK Values. If you scam someone in VMK, this will lead to your account being automatically and permanently banned. Having your parents send in a request using Contact Us to get your account re-activated won't work, because if you can't play by the rules and follow the VMK Values, we don't want you in the game.

So, since your friend scammed on YOUR account, you are banned. Sorry :(

No, u don't get it. My friend didn't scam on my account, she scammed on hers! I just want to explain that, it should only ban the account, not my two both amazing MAC computers! I did read the message, how it says we will be permantley banned. I understand everything. But the only way is to change the IP address. Anyways, do u know how that works? Do u know how to change the IP address?

Okay.. I need peoples opinions on what I should say and how I should explain this to VMK. And whether or not I should keep on trying to fight the ban.. and trying to get it lifted.


Okay, I got banned in my new house. All because of my sister. She got us IP banned for 10 years. Two years ago on July 26 I was playing, and I had no idea what she was doing on VMK ( we were in seperate rooms in VMK and in the house ) and then she comes and was like "I got disconnected and it wont let me back on.." and I was all like "Alright, be there in a minute." and so then when I left myself in the game to go help her, turns out she got the IP adress banned for 10 years. And so by the time I got back to my computer, the same exact message pops up. I didn't even do anything. It was all her fault. She said if the ban was even to be lifted, she wouldn't play again. Just because the way they ban is ridiculous. ( Which I partly agree. Who bans an 11 year old for 10 years? ) Anyways, I have sent them dozens of e-mails trying to get them to lift the ban, and no budge. And I've seen about already 3-5 of you on here who got an IP ban lifted. So, should I keep fighting to lift this ban? If so, What should I say/do to make them believe they should lift the ban? Please help!

to be honest, they will not lift the ban. You admit your sister did something that caused the ban. to get a 10 year, it had to be something pretty drastic, or repetitive behavior. Typically you get a 24 hour ban, followed a by a week, followed by a 30 day, and if the behavior doesnt change you get a 10 year. They dont just jump to 10 year unless it has to do with hacking or like adult themes or language.

I know it stinks that your sister caused it, but if they were to lift the IP ban nothing would prevent your sister from creating a new account. Its the only tool they have to stop people they intend to ban forever.

maybe they accidentally banned the wrong person, then corrected it immediately

Not to be nit-picky but aside from this being almost a general personal message and very unclear, I thought the I am banned she is banned things had a special place - like not here?

Add, yes we can move it. I honestly was curious as to how fast he got a response back from contact us questioning her ban.

If he knows her email and birthday, he can find out by pressing 'I think I'm banned" option in the contact us drop menu. If it returns, 'Yes, you have been banned..' then she was banned, otherwise it's a no.

Does anyone know what to do if someone in the house gets banned, and everyone else who plays gets banned to? None of us were even on at this time just him. We all can not log in. Please Help! I can not live without VMK for a month haha! :eek:

You can go to the VMK Homepage and go to Contact Us at the bottom. There should be a "I think I am Banned" subject that you can explain what happened.

Hope this helps,

I dont think when somebody in the family gets banned, it counts as your ban too. They just block your IP address from playing. I think thats how it goes.

The house shares an IP address in most situations.

Jabbs, write contact us and plead the case for the sake of yourself and/or any other player in the house. It sounds like you dont dispute the ban was warranted just that the target is bigger than deserves. Depending on the nature of the ban they may choose to let it stand as is, but this is your best chance of having the remaining players of the house get to play.

YES, she got a message saying she was banned but apparently VMK quickly realized the mistake and she was able to get in when she left and entered vmk again to see if she was banned.

Okay, so my EX-friend borrowed my friends magic [which was really mines] and she stole it. so yesterday i followed her to a cute or boot and saw she was wearing my magic. and i said i needed it back. and she took it off. and ignored me and her BFF, smilymiley. so today she was yelling at me saying she didnt have it and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! so then im ignoring her and BAM!

SO I TRIED TO SEE WHY I GOT BANNED AND THIS IS WHAT IS SAID:

Ban reason: Adult themes are never appropriate for VMK. Your account has been banned for 24 hours. If your behavior goes unchanged, you will receive a month ban. A third offense may result in a permanent ban. Please review the VMK Values.
Ban lasts until: Mar 22, 2008 5:55:47 PM

Ok, i will tell the turth. when i first started i got banned for some really bad things. but i was immature. and learned my lesson when i got a 10year ban. but then i got unabnned and i wouldnt do anything wrong. i and way mature and wouldt do anything thats ADULT THEMES. i havent gotten a ban for that in almost 2years i think. i wouldnt do anything to get banned cause i am really trying to become a community leader but there goes my chance. i dont care about the confetti magic anymore. but i am mad that they banned me for no reason at all and for ADULT THEMES. thats is the least thing i would ever get banned for. Well i will be at space camp for a week and im leaving tomorrow in the morning. oh well.

Personally I think your brother deserved it. VMK Staff members are real people and they have more to worry about then looking through spam when some players may actually need help.

you can check your ban length at vmk.com by using contact us, and then choosing "i think i have been banned"

This website does not permit the discussions related to side stepping a ban, in otherwords we do not permit posting how to change your IP address

sorry your brother messed up tho :hug:

I wouldn't try to use a IP ban, even if you could find out how to. Most of the time you must type in commands into "run" and most of the time these commands will shut off your internet until you type in the right command to turn it back on.
