Support NeoGAF

[Forth]

I had my PSN account permanently suspended for over a year and I got it back last week.
If anyone remembers this thread:

Then you'll remember I had my account permanently suspended for whet they claimed was fraud.
But out of the blue I received an email last week stating that they were giving me access to it back.
So glad to get access to my library again.

 

[Punished Miku]

Grats man. That's a true nightmare, so glad it worked out for you.

 

[jshackles]

Congrats dude

 

[Zacfoldor]

Hell yeah, congratz dude. That thread gave me nightmares.

 

[Spyxos]

So in hindsight, what could have been the reason for the ban?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Awesome! Good going Sony.

 

[clarky]

Holy fuck. 18 months? They banned you for no reason?

I'd be telling them where to stick your account if I was you.

 

[SJRB]

BASED MERCIFUL SONY

 

[Spukc]

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Was this after you requested a freedom of information by any chance?

Sony support is a BEAST

Yes.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Sounds like a bunch of people about to eat some crow.

Glad it worked out for you OP.

 

[clarky]

You're welcome

Quit with the smug grin fucktard.

Easier said than done.
My digital library contains over 1000 PSN games.

 

[STARSBarry]

Yes.

Funny how that always works.

Being legally required to turn over all information held on a digital system about you including the ban reason they are "unable to access" tends to do that.

Grats mate

 

[FalsettoVibe]

If they determined that it wasn't fraud, then I think you need to be compensated.

 

[clarky]

Yeah. Glad you got your shit back but I'd be absolutely fuming (i'm sure you were).

Take it you are not sending them a thank you card and a hamper?

 

[TGO]

No compensation?
At least 2 years of PS+ Premium.... actually that worth Jack.
They should give you loads of store credits (Playstation Direct & PSN)

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Quit with the smug grin fucktard.

Don't speak to an avenger that way you dirty fucking pleb

 

[TommyCronin6969]

Can somebody please find Topher get hold of this mothaf*cker, so I can make sense of all this.

Don't get cocky, most of your team is in the sin bin.

That's unacceptable. I would argue with them, and ask them why they gave it back.

 

[Garibaldi]

Agreed. The emotional turmoil alone is worth at least 2 PS plus titles for everyone imo.

Nothing the multiverse can't fix retard

 

[DenchDeckard]

Grats dude! Stoked for you. Glad it got sort3d.

Now sell it on ebay.

At least you got a cool tag to remember this torid time.

What did they say? Care to share the welcome back email from them? Any apology?

Think we got enough alt's around here without that kind of nonsense.

Doing so would look like an admission of guilt.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

To think they can hold all your purchases hostage. Yeah I know the fine print, bla bla. Still a bad deal. If Steam f you over you can at least get ahold of your games by other means.

 

[olninty]

4 years on from microsoft stealing several thousand pounds of games from me. Fuck digital.

I'm pleased for you though.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Had a similar thing happen to me when someone was trying to make a fraudulent claim with my car insurance (long story not going to go into it)

I found out they had paid out on the claim so I sent through a freedom of info request. Within a week they phoned me and told me that even though they paid out they were going to reinstate all my no claims years etc.

Strange how they cave when you know what your rights are.

Anyway congrats mate I'm pleased for you.

 

[Bernardougf]

They should at leat give you a copy of marathon or fairgames to show some appreciation to you.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

 

[DAHGAMING]

Good news, enjoy bruv.

I've never heard such a perfect substitute for posting a flaming turd through someone's letter box.

He did pre-order Concord Deluxe.... sooo.. Sony knows what he likes

 

[Topher]

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Congrats. But never forget the scattered rats, roaches, and corporate bootlickers who mocked your plight. They will always try to nibble a chunk of your flesh when you're not looking. Stomp them. Kick them.

 

[Genesis Knight]

I remember one time in college my XBL account got banned (I don't remember why honestly, I don't think I did anything wrong IIRC it was some random fluke) and I created a support request that got no action for months. I kept using those XBL trial cards games shipped with. Eventually I got tired of waiting and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and a Microsoft rep reached out the next day to get me back online and gifted me 12 months of XBL.

Good times. Funny to think how important that felt back then. I had no responsibilities in life!

 

[Forth]

I just want to say that if anyone on this forum or if anyone brought the thread to anyone's attention that managed to sway the decision in my favour, then a huge thank you from myself.
Much appreciated respect.

 

[Forth]

There was an apology and a PSN Wallet top up.
I honestly don't want to get into any specifics.

As long as you got your shit back and your happy that's the main thing.

Fucking sucks though. Congrats I guess.

 

[LakeOf9]

Happy to hear! Hope you don't have to go through anything like that ever again

 

[Lith808]

Did they actually tell you why they initially banned your account or was there no explanation?

The initial response was fraud but the refused to explain any further.
I'm just glad to have it back.
