A complete history of my time on upstream
first day of play, welderbombed someone 20 seconds before endscreen, banned for 12 hours, went to the disc and complained about this, not having the since gained context of the community culture and the importance of the rules in this community, my ban was extended for "bragging" which is in no way what i was intending to or ended up doing.
waited that ban out, joined and played generally without incident for 2 weeks until i was banned for this*, for which i immediately apologized to liltenhead in stream chat as well as later in dms, from his words i felt forgiven. my first appeal was denied, i waited 2 weeks and posted my second appeal, which sat on the forums for a week, where i then pointed out the vast differences in my experiences on other servers, having been given a warning and a chance to correct my behaviour before a ban. and how that was not the case on upstream. i posted this message on june 29th, had you been working on the new policy, i would assume that would have been mentioned to me, instead of getting a quick snooty response my unban request denied out of,, hmm i think we can call it spite. i waited another 9 days for my vacation to transpire and posted this one.
*you were the one who banned me, and it is my belief that i almost got away with it, as i said sorry and was left to my own devices for about a minute, i then sent another ahelp, saying that the macro i had used was easily set up and easily preventable, with a suggestion to curb future users of it. you, in a bit of a tone, said that the devs werent gonna tune around the fix for people using it legitimately and my ban was doled out a few seconds later. it is entirely possible the delay was entirely made up of you preparing my ban, but thats not exactly how i see it.
simply put, i am not a problem player, i play on deltaV and frontier just fine. i dont break the rules. you guys caught me in my first day of play, and have caught me twice defending myself, the first time a bit rudely i will admit, but otherwise i was simply stating my own opinion, and was punished for it. we must be honest with ourselves, my transgression was barely deserving of any ban at all, a warning and a clarification that that was against the metacomms rules would have stopped it and set me straight in perpetuity. it is only because of personal animosity that was created that i have been banned as long as i have.
after this response i do not really care, if i am unbanned at any date i will join and be a model player and never catch even a bwoink again. if i am denied again i will not submit another unban request, i will play on deltaV, frontier, and dedicate myself fully to my own servers that are in the works. it is very clear i am not wanted on upstream.
Your least pleasant player :3
