Allowed to update their canary ? What would the point of a canary be if you could only update it when you ' re allowed to ? That ' sthepoint . . <| sep |> My friend , who literally has played nothing but closed friend sessions and invite only sessions in the past two weeks got banned today . They didn ' t give him a reason . All he did was run Biker missions with us , did Heists with full friend group , and me and him looked for rare cars last night . He got banned like an hour after he logged off . According to him , he never interacted with any hackers to gain money , never even had more than 2 million at a time , so obviously wasn ' t benefiting from free money being give to him . Unless looking for rare cars is a bannable offense now , I don ' t see a reason for him to be banned . Plus if it was , I ' d be banned too cause I got the same cars he did . Basically it ' s just a giant pile of crap with no explanation and a message from Rockstar that says Tough luck , enjoy your 1 month ban and character wipe .
