Blocked, banned is there a difference?

[techguy722]

A friend of mine got his acct. blocked when he tried to sign in. He said he was kicked from a room for unsportsman like conduct. Is his account banned when it says blocked?

I'm not sure. Sounds like a 3 day suspension from what you have described. They usually don't ban a person for some nasty talk unless your a repeat offender. Tell him/her to try in 3 days and if no luck to eamil pogo and ask them.

This was the msg he got..Due to a Suspect Misconduct - Macroing violation, your membership has been suspended.

thats probably a ban

I don't know. I would think it meant banned but then why would they use the word suspended. I would try the account every day just to see. Maybe they are giving a warning first like they should do. ;)
