Is it against roll20 rules to kick players from campaigns maliciously?

Hey all. I was preparing for more than a week until today, when my group was to have our first session of our campaign. I was one of the first ~3 people to join, and yesterday my DM kicked me without any notice from the campaign and is ignoring all of my messages. I am frustrated because the "find player" feature doesn't even work in a conventional way, so I can't contact other players of the campaign. Maybe this was an accident, but if it isn't I am pretty mad... not cool letting a player join your campaign and preparing for more than a week to then kick them out without any notice/explanation.
Maliciously? How is it maliciously if you don't know why they did it? I doubt it's in any rules.

Eh you said yourself you don't know why, but yeah I don't think it's breaking any rules to boot someone from a game, reason or no. Bad manners, maybe but that's about it.

Fish, Roll20 does not interfere with a GM running his campaign. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/125912/roll20-community-code-of-conduct#post-125912" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/125912/roll20-community-code-of-conduct#post-125912</a> You can go to your profile and see who you have played with recent (joined campaign) so if you remember their names you can find them that way.

When I try to do that this comes up "It doesn't look like there are any Campaigns that belong to other users that you are a player or GM in. Check out the Looking For Group page to join some!" Whatever. I guess I will look for another group and wait another week to play... -_-
I don't think you were on the profile page Pat was talking about... On your actual player profle page it should have a list of people you have played with recently(It may not update after a certain point though) you can go to your profile page here.... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/users/707846/fish-f" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/users/707846/fish-f</a>

The reason for you being thrown out your campaign could well be a simple misunderstanding, I am constantly amazed at how often people misunderstand the times and dates of a campaign session, despite the fact that Roll20 converts all that information to the readers timezone. I have often had players say "can you run the game at 8pm EST, even after I have pointed out I am working on GMT and am not prepared to start a session at 1AM in the morning. You say your GM has not replied to your PM's possibly they have not signed on to Roll20 since you sent them the PM. There could be any number of reasons why your GM kicked you, from a simple accident, to thoughlessness on his part, A good rule to live by is " never assume malice, if simple stupidity could explain the situation", ;&gt;) I hope you eventually contact your GM an the situation is resolved. On a completely separate issue, as a GM I take a pretty harsh view on players who don't turn up for games, and if I haven't heard from them, and they don't turn up for a couple of sessions , I will boot them from the campaign. without bothering to PM them first. You need to do this to open the way for players who are more reliable. It is my experience that GM's are screwed over by players more often than players are screwed over by GM's
