To start off I would like to link the privacy policy from TW: https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Privacy
It states multiple things but the thing I'm pointing at in this thread is the "Your rights", it states that we can request our data by emailing them but these emails go unanswered which is unfortunate and in breach of the GDPR which they try to comply to. I don't want to put in the effort to submit a complaint but I do care about these things and urge Taleworlds to follow their own policy.
Then something else which is also a breach of the GDPR, meaning that if you get banned that you lose all rights to the forum. While you could say that this is legitimate and the right of TW, the way they do this is illegitimate. Because you cannot unsubscribe from e-mails, so you get unsolicited e-mails which you cannot unsubscribe from which is illegal. Nor can you correct your data or delete any of it. So I would also like this to be changed.
Then last but not least, I think that your current banning status is not great;
1. You cannot log out, every action is blocked. So you need to delete cookies
2. You cannot view the forums anymore, meaning that to get access to features like "read topics" you would have to create a fake account.
My proposal would be to limit a banned user to only viewing the forums and not alter anything (signatures, new threads, polls and what not). This way people cannot continue their behaviour on the forums for which they were banned but also don't need to create a new account to get QoL features to keep up with their favourite game.
I hope this will be considered,
