Update to GTA Online Suspension and Ban Policy

[Big Boss]

"Question: What happens if I am suspended or banned from GTA Online?

Answer: GTA Online suspensions are triggered by a number of factors, including modding in GTA Online, exploiting or abusing game mechanics, manipulating protected game data and code, or interfering with other players’ gameplay experience. Suspensions from GTA Online due to these reasons may be temporary suspensions or permanent bans depending on the severity of the infraction. If you receive a temporary suspension from GTA Online, the next infraction will result in a permanent ban. If you are temporarily suspended from GTA Online, you will not be able to access GTA Online from the moment you are suspended. Your suspension expiration date is shown on the splash screen after being returned to Story Mode following an attempt to play GTA Online. In addition, your GTA Online character(s) will be reset. All GTA Online progress, property and inventory will be reset. All GTA Online suspension and banning decisions are final and may not be appealed. "

Interesting change they added. Wonder how people are going to react when they log on after a ban and see everything reset.

ye its too bad. I guess outfits are more of a priority than fixing bugs in game

It's kind a ♥♥♥♥ move to reset glitched outfits. That's harmless, doesn't hurt anybody and shouldn't be a concern at all.

But i'm thankful they go bring down the ban hammer faster and also go against modded accounts and other cheated stuff.
Also heard that the Pacific Standard glitch doesn't work anymore

So they've gone from 3 strikes down to 2?

GTAV's ban horror stories have gotten me paranoid about playing online, especially now reading that part about "interfering with other players' gameplay experiences". That sounds pretty open-ended. Like if someone is doing bike stunts and I hit them with a car, would that trigger a suspension? It affected their gameplay experience.

I'm already planning to set aside 2 installs - one for modded singleplayer, the other for unmodded multiplayer. The idea that I could still get banned for nothing and then have no recourse to challenge that ban is worrisome, especially given that the bans sound automatic (and thus prone to error).

Yea totally harmless to have a character with invisible body parts shooting at you.

My glitched cop, prisoner and heist bag outfits are still fine.

That is good and bad. I'm glad they are dishing out harsher penalties to cheaters but complete lack of transparency is starting to hurt the game and stopping many people from buying it. Final decisions that can't be appealed should only be made by humans after reviewing information collected by anti-cheat. If that is the case, it would help if R* made that clear.

How is it starting to hurt the game? How is this stopping many people from buying it?

Those are ludicrous claims. Back them up with facts please.

I see plenty of new people in online mode every time. Lots and lots of fresh meat around.

As for transparency, yes, it would be nice, however they are not required to do so. This is not the justice system, R* is not the government. Technically speaking, they can ban you for saying "I like yellow socks" and there would be nothing you could do about that. Their game, their rules. Don't like that? Don't play.

Well, it's an open PVP world, so that rule isn't really that open ended. If you run somebody over, then you run somebody over. That's it. It's part of gameplay mechanics. Both parties in this case have another gameplay mechanic to avoid such things: passive mode.

I would argue that it's common sense what you can and can't do.

i had a big black bag from heist bugged into my outfit, so i saved it cause i like it and i now found all my saved outfits were deleted... and in first bank heist after this it bugged into outfi again... so now i should not save it, right?

[umar48]

This is terrible. Not only is there only one chance for a false ban, they also get rid of everything. RIP Shark Card sales.

[Alejandro]

Nice, auto ban the noobs that cheat.

Some of us have friends. Some of those friends who were interested in buying the game no longer are because they believe they will be randomly banned after spending their money on the game. GTFO with your trolling, you are not getting the attention your needy pathetic self is looking for from here.
