Resolved No Dirt

So, I log on after my 30 day ban to see all my melon farms deleted.
I'm aware I got banned for island farming but there was only dirt in the chests that had been farmed, all my farms were made legitimately. If possible I would love it if my farm deletion could be reverted. I did spend hours and hours making them and the disappearance of them would probably turn me away from the game if they were not returned.

Thanks so much,

Jim

 

I’m not commenting on your specific case but more generally, the practice of deleting entire islands really needs to stop. Too often are islands deleted and along with them, items that have been legitimately purchased from the servers webstore.

 

So from what I am understanding, staff are deleting islands when players are banned? I thought they were only locking them. I definitely see how that could cause some issues if that's the case.

 

That is why I asked this in the form of question, as I never heard about staff deleting island. The way the other posts were phrased led me to think that someone other than the island owner had deleted them, so that had me worried.

Any idea on what could have happened to this player's farm while he was banned?

 

When this happens, it could be nice letting the player know about it either by mail or other mean so they at least know what happened. If it's already the case that's great. Otherwise that's just an idea. Also just speculating on this case and speaking more generally as I'm not aware of what happened here.

 

That is entirely untrue Bree. It may not have happened in your time here so I understand your not being aware if it.

 

No Bree, I’m referring another instance of this happening in which a very substantial island consisting of zero I’ll-gotten goods was deleted.
The staff member who did this is no longer around and I take what you say means it is unlikely to happen again.

I made absolutely no implication as to the frequency of this practice.

 

Anyways, I spent hours in this game only for my progress on my farms to be destroyed. Can't say I'll be comming back for round 2.

 

The staff are corrupt

 

Understand that my comments on this thread were general in nature don’t add anything to your argument.
If you farmed dirt illegally, it should be taken from you.
It makes sense that the time lost farming and placing that, would be lost as well.

 

Hello Bree

Sorry, this is incorrect and not at all a "one time instance". Stel's island was also deleted.

Kindly,
Queen

 

I’ve already messaged you privately several hours ago so the opportunity to not fill this thread was there already for you.

My saying it’s happened too often gives no indication of the frequency as once is “too often”. You are now aware of at least 3 times it has happened.
‘Too often’ is certainly more accurate than ‘never’.

 

Hello Bree,

This was on classic, a bit before your time.

 

I will say this because I think it’s important. I don’t believe that any of the current staff have been involved in deleting islands so the fact it has happened in the past is not a reflection on the current staff team.
