Banned until 2033

AngryBadger · 05-13-2006

A member of my clan recently logged in after a three week absence and received an banned message. It stated something to the effect that due to excessive cheating, he was banned until the year 2033. He had another character, which he never had verified, and when he logged in, it gave him the same message. So he waited a week and then created yet another name, and hasn't had any problems yet. Has anyone ever heard of this timeframe for being banned? I think that it is extreme, to say the least.

Thats strange I've never heard about it. You should try calling Sony and talking to them about it.

That sound very extreme I would definetly call sony ASAP but if he was cheating than he deserves that!

That makes me wonder if maybe someone hacked into Socom. Or this kid is a liar in your clan.

If he was cheating.... i think it should be a life ban. Just my opinion though.

Now that seems odd that he would be banned until 2033.

I don't know what happend. Does he glitch/cheat?

Well if he's back and playing it's no big deal right?

Thats soo funny. Im very unconcerned about this. He either is lieing or he cheats a lot. As well, im happy I get a good laugh out of it :)

Its something to look into, i just heard of this happening to a friend and he doens't cheat. But yes i agree with banning the cheaters for life......it should have happened awhile ago but oh well

That's really weird, especially since i've rarely heard of people getting banned at all.

I think I've only heard of one other banning, and I dont remember it having a timeframe.

Thats really strange, doesn't seem like something Zipper/Sony would do.

Banned until 2033?? That can't be right...not possible. Because nobody will be playing socom3 online in the year 2033. Think he is lying to you.
