Posted a wall of text on the Reddit FR sub.

https://www.reddit.com/r/flightrising/comments/1jn708z/flight_rising_arbitrarily_closes_accounts/

"Thank you for granting me your attention.I have repeatedly appealed my account closure in Flight Rising. Staff alleged 'multi accounting' because years ago my daughter had multis and interacted with my account via multiple accounts without my knowledge. She sent in an email and cc'd it to me detailing her multi use so I used that to cross reference my forum interactions, finding them via google search not by making a new account, with those stated accounts and found a total of 44 forum posts proving I believed I was interacting with individual users. This included pings to her multis when I got home from the hospital after a surgery. She was around 13 at the time and lived with me so that would have been unnecessary and redundant, not to mention further redundancy at pinging her in multiple places. My daughter admitted to funneling while interacting with The Dragonwish Foundation, a wish granting service I created. When she sent me currency there would have had to be a message attached since blank messages can't be sent. Whatever she stated in the attached message as to why I was being sent currency would have been believed as I thought each account was an individual user. During that time the entire Dragonwish group sent dragons back and forth for breeding and we often helped one another with currency for dragon purchases and lair expansions. These were not transactions solely to my account from hers. According to the forum posts I found the last time she interacted with me from a multi was in 2016. There was never a point where I was aware that I was recieving funneled items. The last time I interacted with her one account that I did know about was January 2022 when I asked for an offspring from one of her pairs. Given that free dragons are sent out all over the site all the time, I don't believe this to be a violation of ToS. Furthermore, my ex-roomates account was also closed after I sent food and a dragon & genes and in return I recieved a dragon baby from one of his pairs. I did this to help him get back into FR. We met the burden of proof there too as we both sent in tickets that included our seperate paypal info in attachments which proved we are two different people not one person with multiple accounts. My ex-roomate was also part of Dragonwish from 2014 to 2016 so transactions between us were also not funneled items as we both sent dragons and items to eachother and to many other players. Within the first 2 years of Dragonwish my group granted around 100 wishes which ammounted to 100 free dragons handed out to FR players. If somebody above the appeals team could look at the tickets sent by me, (FR: Ravenkara) m and my daughter (FR: Firebug) and recognize that my account has been wrongfully closed out that would be great. The last ticket I sent with screenshots from the Dragonwish forum thread on the Flight Rising site and screenshots of the email my daughter sent staff and cc'd to me is ticket #75728. This is not a cut and dry case of one person multi accounting. This was one person with multis making the poor choice to interact with and send funneled items to other players including me and my roomate. By that standard, every player my daughter ever send dragons/items/currency to should have their account closed for unknowingly recieving funneled Items. Doesn't sound right? Well that's what happened to us. Since I can establish my innocence via screen shots and statement from the actual culprit, it's very clear that this case has been egregiously mishandled and needs to be rectified. "

I'm not sure what they hope for with this screed. Though cracking open a new pack of paragraph breaks might have helped them. And since FR runs the subreddit anyway I'm not sure this is even going to stay up that long.

I saw this myself on reddit, and digging through their account, they've even made a subreddit over it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FRwrongfulAcctClosure/

https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/56428 I can only assume it's this person. Same name, dragons locked.

Yeah, re-reading it, I see that I skimmed over the names that are right there in the text the first time.

I don't understand the mindset that just keeps banging on about these things like this. It seems to go together with the excessively wordy walls o'text, and bringing the subject up everywhere they can - someone just latches on to a perceived wrong and canNOT let it go, spending far more energy and time on it than it would take to just start a new account (or whatever else is not working out for them in life that they obsess over).

It can't be fun living with a mind that works like that. Like hyperfixation but not a fun kind.

Okay not really the point of this thread but someone who REALLY sounds like astralcrescent has posts in that subreddit

You're right.

https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/49200

Look who's commenting on their page....

u/bardofnope is 110% Astral. They regularly bitch(ed) about Guild Wars 2 on their tumblr.

Also this: https://www.reddit.com/r/FRwrongfulAcctClosure/comments/1b6sjw5/comment/l6meqov/

Oh wow, reporting FR to the FTC as if they have any recourse... what's up with people who think spending money absolves them of FR's TOS?

SA. https://www.reddit.com/r/FRwrongfulAcctClosure/comments/x68pvv/i_filed_a_complaint_with_the_better_business/ Filing a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT? Because you have to start over with a new account for DRAGON PNGS?

oh this is about to be the good drama of the month grab your popcorn

This whole subreddit is kinda funny, I have played a lot of sim/pet games and I never played one where you where allowed to have more than one account.

Like is it not that obvious that is is kinda the rule of the thumb that you only can have one account, and people act then all confused and dumb about it, like no one told them.

I don't expect people to read through the entire TOS of a pet website (but tbh you should maybe sit down and read the TOS of a site before you sign up just saying), but apparently pressing ctrl+f and typing in "account" and search for it is above everyone's IQ now.

The only exception I can think of to the "one account, period" rule is Neopets, and their alt account allowance has always been "you can have alts to have more pet slots and get literally no other gameplay-altering benefits or it's against TOS" as a grandfathered-in plastered-on solution from when there was a hard-cap of four slots per account.

Just want to point out the post was from three years ago, so there's no need for popcorn.

Oh, I misread a little. There won't be popcorn because in general, they don't talk about why an account is banned, so they'll just keep closing the threads.

Gotta say holding onto a gripe for three years is... a long time.

damn im stupid rip

Weirdly enough, it seems like RavenKara has been at this for... three years? Judging by the age of some of the reddit posts. What makes them try again now??

I want to know who this person is tbh.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FRwrongfulAcctClosure/comments/1b6sjw5/comment/l6meqov/

honestly sounds a lot like what astral and/or his buddies say

"They're literally biased and stalk people especially disabled and trans people and anyone who speaks out against their ableist racist bullshit. Lmao The staff has been in the pockets of my worst abusers for years "
Lmao definitely

Somehow I have no idea who that is.

....I feel like I should?

But I'm blanking.

That's for-sure Astral. The bio says "co-founder of spoopy" and iirc spoopy was one of Astral's tumblr blogs

https://old.reddit.com/r/guilded/comments/1d55in6/ok_bye/l6j6eqa/?context=3

I peeked into their comment history, /u/bardofnope is tumblr user "spoopy", who is indeed AstralCresent/CellophaneStars. Also, they complain about getting banned from every service they use, I think there's a common denominator here.

Yeah, he and I don't really crossover with any subreddits, but... I'm going to preemptively block him. I'm not interested in the possibility of interacting with him at all.

I think Firebug is this person: https://www1.flightrising.com/clan-profile/91736

On their profile:
"RavenKara is my mom and we use the same computer so we have the same IP address so please do not get rid of our profiles."

Why is the name Firebug ringing bells?? I swear I remember there being a thread or two about them on the original AR

Seriously, every mod is staff on that reddit. Why did they think that was going to do anything but get deleted?
