  1. Hello again. Admin consensus is to deny this appeal and require a voucher for any future appeals. A future appeal must be made at least 6 months from the time your ban was placed(2023-12-01). This is due to many factors, but these are the prominent ones: You have a very large history of previous issues. While we understand that you also have an extremely large amount of playtime which is bound to lead to more incidents we cannot disregard the sheer amount of them and their severity. The hateful statements you made were also a big part of this decision. We understand that those statements were made hastily and/or under poor mental health however we also cannot just ignore them. While you have apologized for all of the above, and have stated that you have improved your state of mind we cannot just take this at face value. This is why we would be much more confident accepting an appeal in the future accompanied by a voucher of good behavior. A voucher of good behavior should be obtained from a well-known or decently active SS13/SS14 server. If it is a mainstream server, we recommend using that server's admin-help to ask for a voucher from one of the administrators explaining that you are trying to appeal a ban on SS14's Wizard's Den and want to show you have been a problem-free player during your playtime on the server. A voucher should be indicative of at least a few months of play. (edited)

  2. We have removed Ian Station due to violation of the Space Wizards Hub Rules: 1.5. If your server or community as a whole is 18+, you must do due diligence to remove underage players Due to the severity of the issue we have decided to immediately go for a 3-strike dehub. Details Ian Station is an 18+ Russian ERP server that is intermittently hosted. We cannot provide an exact server address as it keeps being hosted from a different IP. We received multiple reports of the server's owner being underage themselves, and neglecting to enforce that people are actually 18. We were able to verify these claims on their official Discord, the owner publicly stating on multiple occasions what their age is (I'm not gonna post any direct messages on this however...). I also found multiple off-handed mentions of "half the server is underage and you know it"-type stuff, though I'm not interested in doing an in-depth analysis to see how much of that claim is simply hyperbole. Furthermore, we found this message from the owner in their announcements channel: Google Translate (emphasis mine): We take all this as clear evidence the server's administration has little interest in properly enforcing basic age requirements, and decided we would rather go with the nuclear option.

  3. I can second the fact that no damage was actually done, i was playing qm and he brought me the frezon, and afterwards there was no word in command chat about any damage from a maxcap or anything like that.

  4. = For game bans = Ban reason: Forming Cargonia, purchasing weapons, and cryosleeping before round end. Length of ban: 1 week Events leading to the ban: This whole incident is shrouded in confusion and mob mentality, I apologize in advance for any confusion. I play a character, Nana Tuall, during the shift that caused the ban I was QM. Shift was going really well, there was some wild buildings being made outside cargo which did not involve cargo so I decided to leave that issue to SEC and CE. Because of the teamwork between Cargo and Engineering, we were able to sell 1 freezon canister worth $45k. When the Cargo tech returned (Henry Shaw - Local_dumbass) in his excitement he yelled "hail cargonia!". Unfortunately, he said this when 3 sec officers were, I assuming, trying to make senses of the construction in front of cargo. Immediately those officer started panicking and radioing about cargonia being formed. I took what Henry was saying as a joke and tried repeatedly to reassure sec there was no cargonia. Several cargo techs and salvs also tried to insist that there was no cargonia. Next thing I know, there were 5 wardens, all of sec, and the captain swatting cargo saying that cargo had bought weapons and formed cargonia. I tried to explain what had happen, I tried to reason but no one seemed to care to listen. They started looting cargo searching the place and demanding to do searches of cargo employees on green. Then somewhere in span of the search over the supply radio Henry said something along the lines of we should buy guns or he is going to buy guns. I Immediately said if anyone tried to arm up or buy anything I'd fire them myself. I then turned my attention to the captain hoping they would listen. They did not. They said they found a flash and grenade which confused me further because that was out of left field. I now feel, a day later, they may have thought we were revs? I'm not sure. At this point I did not want to play the game anymore, I realized I was getting upset and needed aHelp. I contacted aHelp and explained what had happened. They said they would look into it. As I was messaging the admin, I told captain I wish to quit, dropped my backpack and digipad which I saw them pick up. I walked out of cargo and to the HoP. I told HoP I wanted to quit and I was fustrated with how sec/command was treating cargo and myself. The HoP said they understood and seemingly froze there. I think they had no idea how to handle the situation either so I walked away. I then asked ahelp if cargo could strike, i was intending to force a conversation over what happened to esculate everything so dramatically. This is where I take full blame. Instead of waiting for a reply, I began pulling all cargo order computers from the floor. When I saw the captain and sec return to the station from ATS, this fueled me even further. I told cargo and the now on floor lawyer I was contacting CC and requesting a strike. I said I was not intending to do a thing in cargo until i get a answer. I then tabed out of the active game and started looking up the space laws for a possible in game court case. I thought I was tabing in and out of the game enough to keep a general bases of what was happening in game, but when I gave it my full attention again someone was LOCCing me about admins being upset. I reviewed the announcements and saw the admin warnings about striking being disruptive. Then the admin ahelp messaged me back saying a strike was disruptive. I countered asking how being swatted by SEC for forming cargonia and buying weapons despite neither being true wasnt distruptive. The admin said to put the cargo computers back and I saw the HoP starting to help with that process and I gave access to cargo doors for everyone to get mats again. I then took a step back. Pulling away from the game. I realized at this point me being so upset over a game was getting unreasonable and unhealthy. I returned to the game, admin said to not give full access to cargo doors so I said don't worry I'm going to go cryo because i tried quiting and that didnt seem to work. I radioed command said I'm cryoing. Because I saw they were debating calling a shuttle after what happened in cargo. I said don't worry, I'm cryoing, not sure if they will be able to get the cargo techs back to work. I cryoed. I stepped away took a breath and deciding if I should file a complaint. I decided to hop back on the game because I realized I couldn't continue the admin conversation outside of the game. When I logged in, I was immediately kicked back out and saw the ban. Later that night, in the discord I saw saw the user Local_dumbass posting how they were Henry and the only syndicate in cargo that round. They were laughing that all of cargo got arrested by sec for forming cargonia. Reason the ban should be removed: As a adult, I should of not gotten so upset over the events that took place. I was so fustrated because I try very hard to always work alongside SEC, understanding the bad rep they get in the game for doing their jobs. I feel in general, on the Salamander server I have gained a reputation of being fair and kind. If I'm wrong I'm quick to apologize to those I've impacted in game. I felt mobbed and treated poorly in the game by my fellow players and then the admin. I'm sympathetic to the admin in the situation trying to gather all the stories. I do feel they were quicker to ban than to actually help resolve the issue despite me being the whistle-blower. I don't argue the time ban if that is something you all feel must be made a example of. I should of kept a better head in the moment. Only realizing too late that I needed to step away. I do feel It was wrong to ban me in part for stepping away from a escalating situation without attempting to contact me via discord. I primary wish to have my command/whitelist status unbanned if I do decide to return to the server. I intend to take a break either way but I do feel wronged despite recognizing I was not totally right. = For role/job bans = Role(s): Command/whitelist Length of ban: 1 week (forever?) Events leading to the ban: See above. Reason the ban should be removed: See above.

  5. This is not actually an account ban. What you have encountered is a data centre ban, meaning that the VPN provider itself is banned. Totally disable your VPN and you should be able to connect without issue. If you have issues, or want to request a VPN exemption. The place to do so is in the admin messages section of the forums.

  7. Ban reason: r-slur 3rd time Length of ban: appeal ban Events leading to the ban: i was a nukie, doing closet ops, a sec for some reason in green code started running after me ( i was disguised) and started stunning me, got cuffed, after closet got unwelded my game crashed, after a loaded back in half of my team was dead, and i was cuffed. my last teamate was just standing looking at me. i was very mad and i said "HELP ME REATAR!" to him, and the i got banned for saying it. We were preping for 35 mins, just to die like idiots, this is a massive shame that i need to speak about this catastrophic failure. Reason the ban should be removed: i was mad, like really mad. I am very sorry about this

  10. Ban Reason: Metafriending + Pattern of using OOC code words to communicate IC Info Length Of Ban: Appeal Only Events leading to Ban: I am a Thief. The character of Hugs-The-Void which I pretty often was doing small gimmicky-stupid things with before the ban and had been for a while was also a Thief in this round. Hugs-The-Void hits me up with "Are you silly?" which was generally the way of saying "Can you do silly, stupid shit this shift?" with yes being the answer for "No, can't." Said yes since well- Can't do silly, stupid shit as an antag like what would happen in an average shift. surprisingly, they also said yes, which is the first time EVER an event like this has happened (Traitors have codewords for example, Headrevs before removal can just flash someone) and we eventually realised we were both Thieves. Round happens, basically destroy most of security and have a holopara and a weapon module borg on our side at the end. Reasons the ban should be removed: I have 3 reasons for this. It's one of the reasons I waited so long to appeal actually, besides being burnt out. 1. - The player Behind Hugs-The-Void I actually didn't interact with outside of the game ever, and I actually didn't know much about them. Besides stupid, silly shit and an LOOC conversation every so often, most interactions between me and Hugs have been all IC. Friends isn't debatable, but the Meta part is. Plus, I generally haven't interacted with hugs since the ban besides two times before I stopped playing for a break on ss13. 2. - There wasn't Ill-will or any attempt to get an advantage during the period this type of thing was happening. I didn't even know this type of thing would give an advantage in anyway, as the reasoning was mostly benign in the fact to alert if silly, stupid shit could be done or not. There have been other Antag + Antag rounds, but they were all Traitor and done by codewords which was done earlier than the OOC codeword thingy to check. This event was literally the first time it gained any advantage for me due to knowing a thief I wouldn't of known otherwise, as it was the only time anything similar has happened. In general, said code words had never given an advantage besides this event in a generally really long period, and were never supposed to. 3. - During my time off during my burn out I've been reflecting on a lot of behaviors I've done in ss14/ss13, not just this one. I know the codewords were wrong, and vow to not use them again. As well as some other shitty things I've done such as bad escalation and leaving 10-20 minutes into rounds sometimes, almost always as non-antag. I'm not gonna do it, I know they are wrong.

  11. Ban reason: "Inapropriate username, (JosephBallsPenis)" Length of ban: Permanent, I was told it would be removed after I change my username. Events leading to the ban: After nearly 50 hours of playtime on the game, an admin messaged me and told me to change my account username without giving any sort of reasoning or guidance. I then changed my username to "JosephBallsPenis" and continued to play for another day or so. This same admin then messaged me again and told me to change my username or I would be banned. I told them I couldn't change it again for another 30 days because they just told me to change usernames the day before without giving me any sort of reasoning or guidance on what was wrong with it the first time. I was then permabanned. Reason the ban should be removed: I have changed my username.

  12. This complaint is rejected. Findings Security was originally arresting you since you were slipping half a dozen people and flushing an unconscious person down disposals. They chased you long enough that you stole a baton and a gun and more or less forced them to escalate to a higher level of security. They also destroyed the honkbot because it was also slipping security, and you can't detain it. After security dealt with your initial arrest, you spent the entirety of the shift messing with security. You covered the entire front hallway of security in substances that slowed them down; you helped aid syndicate members in avoiding arrest by throwing banana peels at officers on code blue, stopping them from chasing suspects. Resulting Action Geekyhobo was a trialmin at the time of this event, and did correctly point out you were in self antagging territories. You only received a warning for this, and did not receive a note.

  13. Ok so it looks like the original ban was meant to be lifted from: There has been a bunch of alt bans for the multiple accounts prior to that. Which triggered off a chain reaction of bans which are still in place. If this is your account ONLY USE THIS ACCOUNT, I will transfer all your notes and details from your other account to this one and remove the bans. Do not log in with any other accounts, if you are detected multi-keying using multiple accounts you will be banned again. Appeal accepted ban removed.

  14. (This will extend to game server and Discord if viable. Otherwise, I can make a separate post for the latter.) Ban reason: Abusiveness toward volunteers. Length of ban: Appeal-only. Events leading to the ban: In Discord I was critical of the lack of admin response to a rule question that at the time was unanswered. Metalgearsloth replied to something I stated to which I responded to with an off topic/unwarranted reply, then leaving the server. I was summarily banned from both the Discord and in-game for my actions. Reason the ban should be removed: To double up on an issue presented in the past by freeman in regards to a previous ban, I can and have taken the game too seriously. All I can state to this point is that my life circumstances have changed drastically and have placed me in a position of exponentially greater mental health and self-identity. I do not think that my criticality of the handling of the question should have been so heavily lauded by Sloth - however, in an effort to empathize I cannot feasibly understand how many people blame admin teams, developers, and the like for the lack of elements, be that ground rulings on specific issues or content or otherwise. I will also state that the admin who compelled the question is no longer on the team. Not with any longstanding feeling of vindication do I think that my question was largely reactionary and ultimately confrontational to an unnecessary extent. If the question is unanswered, so be it, I really should not have so much weight in the hypothetical scenario of a collection of pixels. For this I genuinely apologize. My words were also misunderstood through my own fault - I'd mentioned that I was the longest time player, but I misspoke. (longest time player construing that I'd played for 2k hours, *not* that I've played historically the longest.) I've been outwardly critical of a few admins in the past but never took it to Discord to express discontent in the way I had, and furthermore should never be overly critical of one who spends times deliberately attempting to alleviate issues, even if I disagree with them at the time, as rulings can always change and conversations can always be had to find middle ground. I apologize to Kayek who I yelled at when they called me out, rightfully so, for breaking into the high tech vault on Box when I brought back a multitude of materials for cargo after a conversation over rushing insulated gloves. That was really unfair, you've always been a kind admin, and you're just looking out for other players who don't get a chance for gamer loot because Sosa™ keeps rushing the Gamer Gear™. I can try to rationalize my behavior "that other people won't find it," but that just means I can look for it 10-20 minutes down the road and focus on other things... Like roleplaying, or my job. I apologize to Metalgearsloth for telling them "good luck on your sound issues lmao" before leaving the Discord, as this was during a time when sounds were all around having issues, the game seems to have less project managers/as hardcore contributors due to forks or otherwise burnout and pissing off one of the very few is a dogshit move. I can be an asshole, but for everything I complain about, I've never had so much fun, and I know you're inherently one of the few people to thank. I can and will be more grateful and less inflammatory in future interactions, regardless of the outcome of this ban appeal. I apologize to LordEclipse for insinuating that they were babysitting an unfair rule infraction when they'd just gotten on and were assessing the situation in an objective manner. I realize I can be overly critical and I apologize that it manifested into one of my favorite hobbies because of how obsessively I handled something as simple as a response of volunteer time. I did not mean for this to manifest into vitriolic actions towards the staff who has provided innumerable experiences and want to better my actions/speech wherever viable. If and when I feel a judgement is unfair pales in comparison to how many times people have likely been told that I was within rights to perform actions I'd done in the past via self defense, antag actions, or otherwise. I came from watching Ssseth's SS13 video, cramming out space drug pills as a non-antag mime to trying to make narrative artifact videos. I believe that change in attitude is possible and want to remain open to it, I do not want to be cynical and abusive. I'll cool my jets from here on out, whether or not I'm accepted in either medium. Peace.

  15. I have spent time looking into the events of the round. as well as reviewing the timer on the ban. It is clear to see that while you did in-fact open the canister, You did not drag the canister to the bar. It is also clearly evident that you were not the one to ignite the plasma. There were no deaths as a result of your own actions, however the ignition did in-fact cause some fatalities. With regards to the fact the plasma was present for ignition due to your opening of the canister, an adjustment to the time of the ban was in-fact apropriate. However our findings and the content of this appeal have brought us to the decision to remove the ban with a one and three quarter day portion of it served. Appeal accepted. You will now be able to connect to Wizden servers. Please make sure you read our rules on connection, As further incidents of self-antagonism are guarenteed to result in harsher bans moving forward.

  18. On investigation the ban looks to have been placed for another player that may have crossed with some of your current network information. We have added an exception for it so you should be able to connect again, let me know if you still have issues connecting. Appeal accepted - Exception added.

  21. Go for it, it’s a free game. And with not being able to play a character, as vanilia said just make your character’s personality yourself(this is what I did for the first while) or you could try RP and play a different or unique personality(the only tip I can really give for this is just ‘think In the way your character does’). lastly, from my experience the community is very welcoming so you can most likely find someone willing to help be it here, on the discord, or in game(if the station is not imploding that is)

  22. We have removed Xeno Station due to violation of the Space Wizards Hub Rules: 1.5. If your server or community as a whole is 18+, you must do due diligence to remove underage players Given the nature of the issue we have decided to immediately go for a 3-strike dehub. Details Previously Ian Station was dehubbed due to containing members under 18 years old on their ERP server. It was brought to our attention that a new server was made out of this community that is also engaging in the same acts. Some of the proof is as follows: - The github linked for their server is the former owner of Ian station's github which is still being developed. https://github.com/Xomashok/space-station-14 - The Xeno Station wiki is still actively being edited by the former owner of Ian Station. https://wiki.centralhive.ru/index.php/Заглавная_страница

  27. Hello and thank you for trying to make our servers a marginally better place by becoming an admin. Here are the requirements: You must have at least 100 hrs of playtime on Wizard's Den servers. Playtime over 150 hrs is highly recommended if you do not have significant experience on another ss13 or ss14 server. You must be visible in Discord as well as ingame. You must have good conduct in-game (e.g. no shittery). You must not have been banned or role banned in the last 2 months. You must be over 18 years of age. Please fill out the following template for your application: In-game Username: [Answer] Discord username: [Answer] Characters you play: [Answer] On average, how many hours do you expect to admin per week: [Answer] Days you are available to admin on: [Answer] How old are you? [Answer] Do you have any SS14 experience outside of Wizard's Den servers, or any SS13 experience? [Answer] Do you have prior administration experience (SS13/SS14 experience preferred, please also post a way for us to verify this)? [Answer] Have you ever been banned from any SS14 or SS13 servers? [Answer] Admins have the ability to perform various tasks which are not available to the average player. An incomplete list of these tasks is: in-game rule enforcement, in-game events, ban appeals, and out-of-game rule enforcement through things like replay/log reviews in response to player reports. With these, and any other tasks you're aware of in mind, answer the following two questions. What are you primarily interested in doing as an admin? [Answer] What are you least interested in doing as an admin? [Answer] Answer the following questions in detail, so we can get a better idea of how you'd approach adminning. What role do you think game admins serve on our servers? [Answer] Why do you want to become an administrator for SS14? [Answer] How do you feel about the current roleplay status on the servers? [Answer] Other than banning problematic players, what admin actions do you believe have the biggest positive impact? [Answer] Have you ever had a negative experience in the game or with a game admin? If so what, if anything, would you do to prevent other players from experiencing this? [Answer] Have you ever had a good experience with the game or a game admin? If so, what was it? [Answer] The following are scenarios, respond with how you would handle each as an administrator. Respond with the assumption that you are an administrator with full access to the admin tools, and that you have all the knowledge needed to use these tools. Scenarios intentionally leave out information so that you can describe how different details would affect your response. Respond in detail, explain the reasons behind decisions you make and describe any assumptions you are making. When you need to make an assumption, it is preferred for you to describe how different assumptions would affect your actions. It is the start of the round. There are 60 players on the server. The game mode is traitors, traitors have not been selected yet. There are three players who decided to observe the round instead of join it orbiting you. Two of them are encouraging you to "do something funny". [Answer] This scenario takes place on LRP. The Head of Security has decided to coup the Captain. The Head of Personnel agrees with the Head of Security and has taken up arms in case it is necessary to aid in effecting the arrest of the Captain. The Captain is hiding with the Quartermaster in the cargo shuttle to avoid the Clown who has stolen the captains saber as a non-antag. There are five people named in this scenario. Please describe what actions, if any, you would take in relation to each, and why. [Answer] You are ahelping a player about an issue. The player has no prior noted issues. A few days earlier, an admin had told you that this type of situation should result in a temporary ban for a first offense, and you are confident that this situation is not substantially different from the type that admin was describing. During the ahelp, another admin pings you on Discord with a link to the ongoing ahelp and tells you to just indefinitely ban them and make them appeal. Excluding trialmins and headmins, all admins are equally "ranked". A headmin is not currently available. [Answer]

  28. Length of ban: 1 week Events leading to the ban: Basically, I blew up entire nukies team. Next shift atmos come up to me and asks me to teach him how to make maxcaps. After making some frezon and selling it to cargo, I made maxcap. We come to space and throw it there, without damaging station. Then admin comes up and says shit like power gaming and self antag Reason the ban should be removed: First, self antag rule doesn't apply to me, cuz I didn't sabotage the station procedures by just making it and testing out in space. Powergaming doesn't apply too, because I made it for education purposes and didn't use it against any antags in game. Teach admins basic rules knowledge.

I was just messing around, my friend put me onto this game yesterday and we both did not expect for it to be taken this seriously and taken to heart. After doing research on this game I found out that it is a major high RP game, which I do find very interesting and fun. I just was not fully aware of the depth of seriousness this game and its players share. For this reason I now know that it was wrong of me to say these things because it does not pertain to the game at hand and is just generally just not acceptable in any way. If I were let back into the server I would never say things of this matter and I now know to treat this as if I were living and working here in real life. I really hope to be able to play in this server again, because it is extremely fun and the best server myself and my friend have tried. Hope this message finds you guys well and that I am able to join back and have real fun with real players.]

  31. Ban reason: Found bizarre messages of threatening to finger someone while log diving Length of ban: Permanent I think? Says "banned from playing here" Events leading to the ban: This was a pretty old thing that I vague remember, I don't remember if it was looc or in-character, but it was meant to just be a silly in-game vague threat. This was weeks ago, and the ban message literally calls out this was "log diving," which sounds like they were just trying to find a reason. I recall someone said that it could be misconstrued as ERP, which was not the intention, so I dropped it there. I've admittedly done a few stupid things here since I've started playing, but I never have an intention of round removing people needlessly and I've consistently improved based on admin feedback. Reason the ban should be removed: I've been a pretty consistent player always listening to admin intervention and overall trying to get a grasp of the rules and improve as a player. This was an older instance of my playing and one that I pretty quickly and immediately pivoted away from when someone said it could me misconstrued as ERP. The intention was to be more of a vague threat as to what fingering was, wasn't really thinking of anything in a sexual way, was just meant to be silly. I feel I've been recently targeted by a few players who have been excessively ahelping me, with one specific admin that has been scrutinizing many smaller issues. Most recently I crit a guy who started disassembling furniture at my chef station who refused to stop and tried to run away with the materials. I had ahelped the admin asking about nukie evac being recalled, and instead they started drilling on me about critting a guy who stole my stuff. I carried the guy to medbay immediately after critting him and by next round he apologized and I clarified I had no animosity, but the admin seemed very upset I didn't call sec and simply let the guy steal my stuff and hope sec can track it back down. I had even stopped attacking him hoping he would stop running, but he did not. After getting the proper escalation clarified in Discord to confirm that I had followed the rules, I played a few more rounds without issue. Suddenly finding out I'm banned from someone who log dived weeks into the past to find a single instance worthy of a permaban sounds excessive and like targeting. I've questioned some admins judgements in the past, but always aim to learn from mistakes and improve how I play.

  32. Ban reason: nrc_ Length of ban: only via appeal Events leading to the ban: i think the ban cause was for me playing using a different account. Didn't played for a while, then i created another account; my current main "JunicoNRC", after sometime i re-entered the old account "nrc_" and after trying to connect the server i got banned. Reason the ban should be removed: after making an appeal linked in this post, the admin told me that's not allowed alts, and yes i have a incident of trying to evade a ban in the past (April, 2022) and i was unbanned latter on, so it's not the case now, and i did not commit any crimes relating to need make another account to exploit something, i just forget the password. I undestanded clear if i'm unbanned i can have only one account with previous account-logs transfered to the main one, and also, about the forums account it should be also the same that i use in-game. If's possible, wish to keep "JunicoNRC" as main account, cause is where i played most.

  33. I was hanging out in the Sec room and behind me the HoP and some sec officers were talking. Out of nowhere the HoP fucking massacred the entire security personnel. Later we realized that the “HoP” wasn’t the real HoP, It was a traitor who looked like him. He killed the real HoP, took his outfit and pretended to be him. The only reason we found out was because he didn’t have the proper ID, or something to that effect. He then after being revealed, killed most of the station’s residents. It was a really well thought out plan by the traitor.

  35. As a result of your response to the result of this ban appeal, which included claiming that you would ban evade and grief, the admin team has decided to modify the voucher requirements for your ban. A voucher is still required to appeal the ban, but instead of being able to appeal no sooner than 6 months from the time of the original ban, you may appeal no sooner than 12 months from now.

  37. When considering for ban length is there an "Extenuating circumstances" part for deciding the length of the ban? I explicitly said that I was being the "R" word. There really isn't a victim and there was only ONE person nearby my fellow atmosian, which whom I probably explained my amazing thought process of my construction in Atmos only using one word... I am 99.9% certain nobody felt bad that I my self called my self the "R" word and it has to be automatic server flagging that got me there. Still got 3 days of ban. Couldn't it be an 24 hour? I understand that I broke the rule, but as non American, I don't really know the difference between Slur and insult and that using the word on MYSELF is still worthy of 3 DAYS. I know that the "N" word is to be never spoken, like Voldemort... But I don't know which words are considered supper no no words like the "N". And the word Slur doesn't mean much either... After all, the WORST google definition is "an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation." It doesn't even sound remotely bad compared to insults "a disrespectful or scornfully abusive remark or act." One which doesn't sound that bad, is ban worthy, while other is used on hourly basis. I was ONCE warned about the "R" word, but in that game. We were the nukies and fellow nukie China lake'ed the whole squad and I called him the "R" Lake, so the warning I got, I thought I was warned for using "strong" insulting words towards fellow "posibly new" player, than thinking that the word it self is like the "N" word. 2nd. More of an question... If the word under ANY circumstances is not allowed to be spoken, why the server just doesn't filter it in the first place and doesn't post the message? After all, it has to be automatic server flagging that got me banned, which means server has triggers for them...

  38. I want to add that I was also recently permanently banned for transphobia for quoting someone's message and stating "We all thought it, he said it" about some overtly transphobic ideology/expression of self. I take full responsibility for my actions and understand that this weighs heavily against the decision, if not outright dismisses the appeal under the guise of an attempt to be as inflammatory as possible, but I ask for the sympathy that I did not provide in this case. I saw an opportunity to hit below the belt and took it. I'm human and it was an emotional response. To be completely candid, in this regard, I have a long way to go with the conversation and should not at all have used someone's identity as ammunition. I apologize to PJB (or whoever Trans Rights Nuke Disk is on Steam) for doubling up and spewing hate. Not much I can say about it other than I accept if I'm unwanted to re-integrate to the community, but would at least like to attempt to move forward. I was not raised in an accepting community/household and this gets the better of me.

  39. Non-antag crew can generally loot bodies as long as they do not steal syndicate objectives off of people, eg. captain's lasergun, captain's spare ID, QM's digiboard, and so forth. However, there comes a problem when non-antags start stealing PDAs or IDs off of bodies. Not only does stealing those remove the owner's ability to access their department as well as the rest of the station, but the non-antag thief might also deprive the owner of their Uplink, should they have one. Therefore, non-antag crew shouldn't steal PDAs/IDs off of people unless it is absolutely necessary, such as during emergencies. An example of what when it would be appropriate to take a PDA/ID off of someone as a non-antag would be to drag the owner's corpse out of a locked area, should they be trapped inside. The owner of the PDA/ID should be given their PDA/ID back after the emergency. None of this applies to catatonic players as we do not count those as players.

  40. So, I’m going to stick my neck out and ask the obvious here. I hope I don’t get banned for it. But, I think someone needs to ask this question. ERP being a zero tolerance perma ban is something that has had me scratching my head sense the rules came in. I have worked very hard to be very careful not to say anything that could possibly get me banned. And, to be entirely honest, this is a lot of work to be this self-censoring. It's just plain not natural. The reason is that, to be entirely honest, this game absolutely screams ERP. There are so many mechanics that feel like the game itself was designed to have this as a feature. The very fact that we can strip or be stripped naked is a huge one. This goes even more so because men are anatomically correct when naked. There is even a mouth cover to mussel us that looks like a ball-gag. We now have pins where we can show everyone what our sexuality is... so that we can then proceed to not have ERP with them. That makes a lot of sense... There are individual bedrooms with beds that we can scamper off to. There are showers with little rubber duckies in them. So, for instance, let’s combine. Security beats us down with a giant electric stick... then strips us naked, cuffs us, and then places a ball-gag in our mouth. I cannot tell you how difficult it has been to just sit there and not crack a joke. Before the rules came in, I and many other people did constantly make sex jokes during this. I can run around dressed up in animal costumes. Clearly not a reference to furries at all… Or I can dress of like a Geisha… To take the cake, I can right click on book shelves in the library and examine them and I get told that they're “Mostly filled with erotica.” So, let me get this straight, the game itself can make sex jokes but the players can't? How is that fair or logical at all? That's just all the stuff in the game now, as is. If you bumped the age limit up a couple years and added just a couple more game-play mechanics and toys you could take all that a lot further. That all being said, it feels like even the game as is was created by people who clearly had a certain level of sexual humor and ERP in mind for this game. Yet, the people in charge of moderating the game feel like some sort of puritanical board ruling over it (no offense.) This leaves the players playing the game under a very weird self-censoring oppression. 'Look at all this stuff that is simply crying out for either ERP or at least a sex joke. But, don't you dare comment openly or act naturally in accordance to what you see, that will get you perma banned.' It makes the experience of playing this game feel like an oxymoron. Look at all this sex stuff, but don't you dare engage with it or comment on it. My very first question, then, is why? Why is this game like this? What happened? Is it that the game was not allowed to be listed on Steam (without being hidden away where no one would find it in the Adults Only Section) without this rule? And so this rule was put into place to secure that the game could become visible and popular on Steam? Is it that the server host platform demands no sexual stuff? So, this rule was put in place so that severs could be hosted on an affordable server hosting platform? Is it some sort of local law where the servers are being hosted that would make the operators legally (and thus financially) liable for sexual content? So, this rule was put into place to cover themselves legally? Is it simply that the moderators of the official servers don't like / are not comfortable with sexuality being expressed? Like, is it a personal hang up on their end? Is it that, somehow, to spite the game naturally swinging this way that it was all by accident? That there was simply no sexual humor intended to be present and the players simply took these things (which seem so very obvious to me) out of context in a way that was never intended? Moderators would save themselves a lot of grief if they simply bumped the age requirement of the game up from 16 to 18. The ban appeals section is full of people who made natural jokes or took natural actions that this game basically begs / dares them to take by its very nature; and then they get banned because they innocently violated a rule they didn't even imagine would be a rule. I know that I was shocked when I saw the rule come in and I had to instantly be very careful of what I said and did in the game so that I could keep playing. I have to imagine that a lot of newbies who enter this game are quickly exiting into the ban pile because they made a joke or something and didn't read the rules and realize they could get banned over it. I mean, it certainly would save the moderators and players a lot of grief if they simply bumped the age up two years and then removed the ERP ban from the rules. I think that this is an important question because ERP is clearly something that a lot of players naturally want to do. The game already feels very tailor made for it and it could easily go even further in that direction with very little effort. I have to ask, then, why the restriction? If it is merely to make the game open to a younger player base, then what are the realities of making ERP servers for adults only? Is that something that will officially be made at some point? If not, and if the players make them themselves, would the official launcher even be allowed to list them? It already seems odd to me to bend over backwards to cater to a teen player base. I mean, has anyone taken a census to see how old the average player of this game is? SS14 is a game that largely got its player base from SS13. Most of these people were teens in the 2000's and are adults now. So, like, why this push to cater to a younger audience; who likely isn't really the target demographic for a game like this anyway? (Most of them are playing League of Legends, Fortnight, or Minecract.) Who is this game made for, exactly, anyway? It’s a game where most adult rated stuff is already allowed. I can smoke cigarettes and cigars, drink beer, grow and smoke weed, make and pop pills (literally to get high) roofie people at the bar, literally inject myself and others with drugs from a syringe, and kill people. So, let me get this straight, tobacco, alcohol, light drug use, hard drug use, and murder are all a-okay. But, people having sex is bad? Nobody pay any attention at all to the furry outfits, Geisha girl costumes, sexuality pins, love hotel rooms, shower rooms, amply supplied ball-gags and hand cuffs, suggestive stun batons, or library shelves stocked with erotica. No, sex is bad. I just find this rule to be very befuddling and have to ask why it even exists at all. It seems so silly to me. Understanding why it exists is also important because it can help people understand what our real chances are for official severs that could allow for ERP. Or, if it would even be worth our while to create a sever that allowed for ERP if it wouldn't be allowed to be listed on the official sever list and thus nobody would be able to find it anyway.
