Ban reason: "Self Antagging by using dubiously earned AA to harass sec and beat secoff into crit as a nonantag."
Date of ban: Thursday, April 13th, 2023 8:42 PM UTC
Length of ban: 1440 minutes, day ban
Events leading to the ban: I had acquired AA through legal paperwork involving an "AA voucher" stamped by both the HoP and Captain, the latter of who directly stamped it in-person right on the bridge. I roleplayed accordingly to continuously request HoP to provide me the necessary credentials, and eventually, he acquiesced and gave me the same perms as HoP and then said, and I (hopefully correctly) quote, "Have fun and do good."
I took the credentials and upgraded them into AA as befitting the paperwork, and decided to pay Sec a visit and have a tour of the place. I did not enter Sec to "harass" secoffs, that is a pure lie on whatever report was laid upon me. The true event was that, almost immediately, a secoff took his own vendetta on me (believing me to be a "shitter"), against any orders from HoS or Warden, and self-arrested me without trial or proper detainment protocols. He ignored my pleas to get Captain or HoP into Security so they can vet me out, and shoved me straight into a cell. This is including a few other Secoffs coming in, stripping me of all my belongings and ID, and then throwing away the key.
Eventually, one secoff let me out, but refused to provide me any of my legally acquire items, such as my tools and most importantly - my ID. I stuck around Sec despite his warnings due to the simple fact that he had not given back my stolen gear, I was simply waiting for him to give back my items and then I'd be off on my way.
The secoff, who mind you was not HoS or Warden, went ahead and self-assigned full perma punishment after being too annoyed by my presence in Sec. He continuously brutalised me and punished me for the simple act of wanting my lawful items back. Eventually other people let me out of cell, but the affromentioned Secoff began to chase me with his stun baton - not wanting to let my personal and illegal perma to end. I managed to snag my bag (laid out at the front) and take my baseball bat, which I then used to defend myself against the secoff pretending to be HoS.
The reason the ban should be removed: All of these events hold out in both roleplay and rule settings. The admin who assigned me my ban never went forward to me personally to ask my side of the story, I was even around post-round in the lobby and did not get any Ahelp messages. Additionally, if you really want to punish someone for providing "dubious access", the HoP was the one who committed the infraction to begin with, and the Captain never once stopped me from using the bridge ID computer to upgrade my status to AA (He even complimented me for finally managing to acquire it.)
The secoff in Security who continuously brutalized me and assigned punishment without foreword from HoS or Warden had, in my opinion, gotten off light with a beating to crit. I did not want to do it, but I was force to considering how he had been harassing me for over 20 minutes in that round. (from my estimations). Other secoffs were even questioning why I was being punished to begin with, and no contra had been found on my person, as I was law-abiding. The only "thing" Sec charged me with was my legally acquired AA.
Being slapped with a ban is both frustrating and utterly devoid of any attempts to understand the full context.
