This seems to be getting a lot of attention so I’m going to lock this appeal while we do a little bit more digging and come to a consensus internally.

Alright, while I’m aware I am posting on a ban appeal that does not belong to me, I would like to raise a few points in the defense of the banned persons, I feel as though I have been following this before it became a ban seeing as I have met, interacted and become acquaintances with both people in-game, that being Buccaneer and Raider1200. As far as I’m aware neither party did anything worthy of a ban, as “cuddling and more” does not give much to work with however I can say with all certainty cuddling or Buccaneer’s mention of kissing should not warrant a ban of any regard, much less without warning. Most of this sounds like a basic in-character close relationship with one another, and I’m pretty sure that does not break any rules. The wording of the ban message makes it seem as though these events were not witnessed by the banning admin, rather it was reported by several users, and the two got banned without being talked to for a suspected incident. Meaning this very well could have been false reports, I of course have not seen the logs and I could be easily proven otherwise. “Incident where clothes were removed.” From my understanding neither party can recall said event as Buccaneer stated. “Nothing explicitly sexual, such as removing clothes.” And from a short conversation I had with Raider off-platform they mentioned they did nothing of the sort. I’d like to kindly ask that actual proof of these events be brought up.

Seems to me from the context of your appeal that you already “learned what not to do” and were aware that you were pushing the boundaries to begin with.

I'm simply reaching out and appealing because I enjoyed my time on the server, and was hoping to at least have a chance of returning to it and the friends I had made there. I understand I'm in the wrong here but I am just trying to limit the damage on my part, seeing as my ban is permanent. I'm asking for even a bit of forgiveness and the prospect of returning sometime. I've definitely learned what not to do and if I am lucky enough to be unbanned, I would surely act accordingly, I know I won't be so lucky as to be unbanned twice.

If you're aware that what you're doing was "basically" ERP and that action was justified, why would an admin need to contact you or warn you to stop? The blame isn't on us for not telling you not to ERP; the blame is on you for ERPing to begin with, in my eyes. We take these kinds of offenses incredibly seriously considering that our server is not 18+, and given that you fully understood that it was against the rules, an appeal ban for you to explain yourself is the only reasonable option.

= How to appeal = It is unlikely that you will have a second chance to appeal a game ban. If you are angry or upset about your ban, it is highly recommended you wait a day or two before posting an appeal so that it has a higher chance of success. Make sure you are logged into the forums with your Space Station 14 account. Appeals made on accounts other than the one which is banned will be closed. Copy and paste the correct template into your post in the Ban Appeals Subforum, then delete anything after the colons and fill it in with your information. Please note that we only handle bans for the official Space Station 14 game servers, which are titled "Wizard's Den". You do not have to grovel and suck up to us. We are human beings. You are a human being. Please act like a normal person talking to their equal, and we will treat you the same. If you are appealing bans on multiple platforms, like a Discord ban and a game ban, make separate appeal posts. Do not combine both appeals into the same post. If you already have an open ban appeal for the same platform, do not post another. Write a new comment under your currently open ban appeal. Please do not mess with the formatting & colors of your appeal to make it as annoying as possible to read just because you can. Your appeal will be denied outright if you deliberately make it harder to read. = Post title = [Your SS14 Account Username or Discord Handle] - [Summarized Reason for Ban] = For game bans = Ban reason: [Reason for ban, visible when attempting to join the server] Length of ban: [How long the ban is for] Events leading to the ban: [Provide a clear and concise explanation of the events leading up to the ban, including any relevant conversations or factors that may have influenced your actions.
