Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit It Seems Activeworlds are holding up to the "Displease Your Customers As Much as they Can" Policy... Here is why. Two days ago I logged on (or attempted to) to AW. A Window popped up (where normally you'd type in Citname and Pass, and it stated "Sorry, this account has been Disabled" Immediately I sent a notice to AW, and Began Thinking about what could be cause for this. I took no part in Alternate Universes (Let Alone Know how to Get into them... New AW User here) Never was ejected by a Peacekeeper, Never had any major Ordeal with the PKs, And followed the Content Guidelines. Today I decided to send a complaint to the PKs to find out if they were the source. Their reply was... Hello Tomas: Your email is being forwarded to Support at activeworlds.com. The cit# for Conclad Thomas is 345296. They may be able to answer your question since we can not... we do not have the ability to disable an account... MIKsam/PK57 Straight up, they did their job. So now it wasn't a content Guideline. Except for the fact they SPELLED MY NAME WRONG!!! hehe. Little bit later, I get a reply from "Kellie Williams" <kellie at activeworlds.com> She writes... Dear Thomas, Your citizenship was disabled for trying to get an Active Worlds user to join the pirated universe XW. We have refunded your money. Warm Regards, Kellie Williams/Mountain Myst Community Services Activeworlds Corp. www.activeworlds.com Several Things. #1 - I dont Know what XW Is... Now Assuming its a Pirated Uni. #2 - I don't advertise for them, let alone know what they are #3 - I dont know how to hop to another Universe, I know OF them but nothing more. #4 - I Asked them to show proof of this, Because now i fear my Pass has been hacked. They do not respond. #5 - Im assuming Encouraging people to join XW would be against their rules... So Why Refund my Money?!?!?! Hmmm? But Why? Possible Causes #1 - AW has gone AWOL #2 - They are picking random "Newly Registered Users" (people who registered just before their Changeover) to expel #3 - They Got the Totally Wrong Person #4 - Im Framed #5 - Someone Did Have my password #6 - They Refund Me and Expel me so I (assumingly) rejoin them on their New Money Plan.

This is a private matter between you and AWC... we can't do anything about
it. > Now I am A victim without a defense, I was Done Wrong, and I have no way to get back... Voice my Incident > Fellow Citizens!!! sw chrisJan 17, 2002, 8:18pm
Ouch. Conclad, this is surprising. But there's little we can do here
except start another witch hunt. :\ You might want to try the Better Business Bureau if you feel you've been wronged. SW Chris [View Quote] But Why?

someone could probably get in a fight with you and e-mail them ssaying "oh
this guy i know tried to get me into XW" to get back at you, with no proof (or a fake chat log or something) and they mightof listened to him. but hey thats just my guess [View Quote] sinewJan 29, 2002, 9:16pm
