I got BANNED in Creatures of Sonaria :(

After this ban, I'm pretty much guaranteed to not get content creator any time in the future, which I needed to kinda fund my videos. I do not have access to the COS discord server anymore which was important to me as someone who makes a lot of videos on the game, also, I am permanently trade locked meaning my entire inventory is pretty much worthless now. Making an alt account does not solve anything lol

my inventory in my Elasmo account is pretty much useless now, as all I used it for was trading creatures for max growth tokens so I can continue to make videos, it's super difficult to make videos as I need to grind the mush for the trials I use for my vids as well sooo lol

cross-trading is giving something outside of creatures of sonaria such as murder mystery weapons for things inside creatures of sonaria such as creatures

My personal opinion: I understand that an IMMEDIATE permanent UNAPPEALABLE ban and tradelock is fair if someone was caught in a cross-trade, but I believe that a warning would've been more reasonable in this situation since it's clear I wasn't aware of a discord role in my server being cross-trading, and would've instantly stopped this and even deleted the role if I was informed about it, I was just reported by somebody screenshotting the role requirement saying that it's a trade and I was immediately banned and tradelocked. Besides, I can arguably say that this isn't really a 'trade', as I wanted to give the roles as a gift to supporters, and not as an exchange.

BTW, I never said this isn't cross-trading, I literally said it's a fair ban lol, this isn't a complaint video, it's just a video covering why I was banned, all I said was that I didn't have the intention to and I would've appreciated a warning, that still doesn't make it not cross-trading of course. Everybody has mixed opinions about this, feel free comment down your opinion just don't be harsh :)

Trust me elasmo it might seem like Mods/Admins are doing their job but truthfully they're doing it half-heartedly. And there's many MANY victims of false bans, people who have been wrongfully accused and banned for it. I know someone who was actually accused by a staff member themselves and banned for it because alot of the staff disliked them when TECHNICALLY they didn't do anything wrong. In this case though i do see where they're coming from but seriously they could've warned you first.. hopefully one day there's gonna be a competitor for CoS cause honestly I'm so OVER it.

I think Elasmo is one of the largest content creators towards this game and puts so much work towards it. Imagine how much more he could do if he had the ability to make even higher quality videos? It would help the game way more than it would hurt. I think the creators should suck up their pride and accept the appeal, because this one dude does more for them than they realize. I only started playing again after years because I stumbled upon an Elasmo video and I'm sure many have similar stories.

I mean crosstrading is bad but perma banned for helping your community is wild

[poikilos]

I am officially convinced COS hates it's player base. With every update they just get more and more money hungry and more and more aggressive towards players to make the play experience worse and worse and worse. To the point that if for whatever reason they think theyre missing out on that sweet sweet player cashout because a community is coming together to help a creator they all like who doesnt have hundreds of dollars to pour into a game that 1. again, hates its players and 2. wont even verify him as a content creator and support the FREE ADVERATISING he is giving them, they perma ban you without warning. Theyre not protecting anybody from anything, theyre not preventing something bad from happening. Theyre jumping at the first opportunity they have to lock your account because they want your money. Literally every sonar studios game has followed this money hungry, inhospitable, cash grab pipeline, COS crossed the threshhold long ago, and now theyre doing it with horse life. This is the exact reason why i stopped playing Dragon adventures, and it looks like i just need to swear off all their games alltogether lol. Every time i think "it cant get worse" they make it worse. I'm sorry about your account bro, i would have given you all my max and partial growth tokens i got since i dont even use the things

[KittysCafe]

Its just so confusing once you just see your BANNED and literally no one told you the reason why. Then YOU have to find it out and be able to talk it through and explain.... its a hard process do get your acc back, but i wasn't in the same situation.
Someone hacked my account, and literally tried to get all of the creature's i have to his actual account.... it was pretty hard to get it all back but with time we found out who it was and roblox banned them.




Have a great day and stay safe!!❤

Also, higher ups say you’re not allowed to trade mush for art. However, if they could argue that what Elasmo did was cross-trading, then so are their art contests. Many art contests are hosted every month and are basically gambling combined with cross-trading. I don’t know who decided that was ok.

[LightOfExcaliber]

It should've been discussed and a warn instead a random ban with no discussion, it's ridiculous how they overreact to the dumbest thing imho.

[kitbooz]

This is WILD considering I’ve seen TONS IF PEOPLE CROSS TRADING with no repercussions, example; Commissions. While it is up as a rule to do this, I’ve seen SO SO SO many people take commissions for mush and creatures. It’s stupid because they don’t get banned or trade locked either. It’s really unfair :/

[Backshtter]

Even if it's technically cross-trading, the situation on itself is still really- uh tricky idk. They should've just either gave a warning or reached out saying what's wrong with that. Like shit I doubt even a fraction of cos players would've thought that its crossing

[ClawzOnPawz]

Once i saw someone cross trading, they said "trading all my stuff for adopt me pets!" And guess what, they DIDNT get banned

[vexxwydd]

I know tons of people who have been banned from CoS without any warnings and its ridiculous. Atleast 1 warning should be given before a ban. CoS moderators should be completely replaced.

[ivypoison]

The fact your channel is nothing but videos of their game, this is wrong of them. A fair warning should of been given and they handled this poorly. They should see the wrong in this since you didn't even actually give out any roles and remove the ban asap. It's kinda childish if you ask me how there is no warning. Cross-Trading isn't this serious as some of the other things I have seen from their game. Bullying is way worse then cross-trade and they sit there idle and allow bullying to happen? Smh

[M.Cubixin]

I just think it’s not fair that you got banned without a warning. You didn’t give someone the role yet and COS went too far when they disabled trades for you. I really hope that you get appealed someday.

[Ardeleus]

Yup, they just ban you immediately

No warning, no second chances, not even a notifying of what you did wrong before BANNING you permanently.

The fact that they banned YOU, who is the sole CC I watch for CoS content nowadays

Is insane and shocking.


I thought they would at least warn such a huge CC if they're too lazy and garbage to issue warnings for normal discord members.

Clearly they won't change though.

They don't care.

[lazikoly]

Oh, dear... That's actually so crazy, I feel like they totally should've gave you a warning first, ESPECIALLY the people on the server telling you to give the role to people who donate to you. I feel like they've could've told you how bad of an idea it was and that it's legit cross-trading during that moment. But to be fair, I would've thought it wasnt cross-trading either! Anyways, I hope things get sorted out and hopefully you can get appealed, goodluck! :D

[FeatheredCreature]

Reminds me of when the youtuber creature was still new, someone I knew was able to give em out. She lost her content creator role really fast tho cus she gave away a creature to someone and they gifted her art afterward. It was really sad

[just_dont_do_it]

devs seem really petty for some reason, i know you like the game but im very suprised u even make content still of the game even after all they did, like compared to all the other CC ur are playing the youtube COS game on ultra hard mode

[Annoying_Pickle]

Ohh, that does seem like cross trading but yeah, the devs giving a warning shouldve been the best thing to do, cuz u were unaware of what u were doing.

[XerXens]

I started COS again just yesterday after taking a break from DA and i've been searching for tips on how to play the game, your videos have been very helpful and explained to me a lot of things that i never knew about the game. It's unfortunate what happened to you and the staff really doesn't seem to care for their playerbase from what i can tell. Thank you for putting your effort into making these helpful videos and have a sub from me, you deserve that at least.
