I received a message saying “your gamertag was banned from this feature”, but it doesn’t specify what I’m banned from or why. So far the only thing I’ve noticed that I don’t have access to is sharing my livery designs. I don’t know why I would be banned from this, I would never create or upload anything offensive. My designs are basically all rusted out/dirty cars, covered in bumper stickers. I guess it’s not really a big deal, I’m just very curious as to how this happened and how I can avoid this in the future.
Best to contact T10 via their email, though from the sounds of it you shouldn’t be using a certain bumper sticker
I guess, but I’m not sure what it could be. I really don’t have anything offensive on there. The only thing I could think of is maybe they aren’t cool that I used the imgur logo? Other than that, it’s mostly just bands I like.
One of the band names very easily could have been offensive or drug related.
You know what, you might be on to something with that. I made a Spose sticker that said “pdank”. I didn’t think that would ruffle any feathers, but I guess I could see how it might. Also, I went to Turn 10’s support page, but it only has a link to buy Forza 5. I thought that was odd.
Stop putting words that Turn 10 may think is in poor taste on your cars. I don’t know if Pdank is a weed reference, but the word Dank sure is. They don’t like that. They don’t like the word BALLS either. The ban will be lifted in a few days. Just going forward, remember they are extra strict on what they can send you to the penalty box for.
I didn’t do it intentionally, I’m not some burn out stoner teenager or pot advocate or anything, I just wanted to reference a musician I like. Like I said, it’s not a big deal to me, I’m less concerned about the fact that I was banned and more concerned with how to avoid it in the future. I enjoy sharing my liveries and checking out other people’s work, I don’t want to see tasteless things on other peoples cars, and I don’t want to put it on my car, intentionally or otherwise. It’s an easy fix and I’ll be more mindful with my future work.
I appreciate the feedback, fellas. I don’t think I’ll pursue the issue any further, it’s just a temporary ban, no need to waste anybody’s time on it, really. I’ll change the sticker and be a little more wary of what I make in the future. Thanks again.
yeah pdank did it
Most unfortunate. I’ve replaced it with an MC Lars sticker. I doubt that’ll offend anybody.
