Both philot and lost1984 have been banned for using an exploit to give themselves missions without having to work for them.

I believe that I have, and as long as you are not manually adjusting the URLs used in the game, you don't have to worry about accidentally committing the cheat

Anthraxus, It would appear that this hasn't been fixed. Yesterday I was automatically banned without any warning! Now not to blow my own trumpet but I have been here since 2006 and I'm sorry but I do not cheat for goodnes sake! I have PM'd Krista about it but so far nothing has been done.

What I did was this :-

I found the new mission "Spreading Contamination". I picked it up and activated it. I went to the HQ Co-ordinates as per the mission instructions, and when I arrived at those specific co-ordinates, another mission popped up on the screen, it was "Placing the transponders". I clicked to collect that mission before completing the "Contamination" mission, and then suddenly the screen went white and it claimed I was banned - "Cheating on mission acquisition".

Can someone please look into this. I have done absolutely nothing wrong! This mission appeared for me to collect, I clicked it and was banned. If this was not supposed to happen it is a bug. Not me cheating.

Oh, and I didn't "adjust any URL's" either!! Not happy.   :evil:

You have been unbanned.  There are a few people that have been falsely banned.  In each case I am doing a quick investigation to determine if it was justified, and removing the ban if it isn't.  My apologies for the inconvienance.

Many thanks for that quick resolution! I think I will steer clear from these new missions until this bug is removed properly... but appreciate the quick response.

Lol, in that case, allow me to re-phrase that:

Good to see proactivity in displaying cheaters again Smiley.

Cool.
