  1. This is permaban #2. As per our banning policy, permaban #3 will be unappealable. Generally bans past #5 (the number you are at right now) are permanent/appeal only with very little exception. So if you do something bannable, expect to not be able to return. Bans "expire" on your record 6 months after they end. For your case, that means the soonest you could get banned and expect it to not be permanent would be August 27th, 2022. Essentially, you would be on extremely thin ice. First, though, we have to discuss what we want to do with your current appeal. That will probably take a while as with repeat offenders we try to get a very large consensus before moving forward.
  2. Do you have any questions about anything that I wrote? Is there anything that is potentially unclear?
  3. Do you understand the problems we have here? Because it's not just one. It's multiple. 1. Throwing a temper tantrum ingame at another player. This is an issue because you did not bother to ever ahelp this player. If you feel another player is breaking the rules, you need to ahelp it. I will speak for the entire team when I say I would much rather get a false alarm ahelp than no ahelp at all. 2. You have repeatedly threatened to break the rules and metagrudge players of our community, which even if you didn't actually do, would fall under harassment which is a massive no-no. If you run around saying "I'm gonna break the rules!" you should not be upset about us punishing you for breaking the rules... even if you weren't actually planning on breaking the rules. 3. You got a two hour ban for the above, at which point you proceeded to DM multiple members of the staff team in protest to attempt to convince or outright bully them into unbanning you early. It's a two hour ban. You are demonstrating that you don't have a desire to go through the proper channels to deal with these problems. Our systems are in place to help you enjoy the game, not to keep you from enjoying them. If you don't bother to press the two buttons required to send a report to the admins, the admins cannot help you remove problematic elements. If you try to blow up multiple admin DMs instead of making an appeal on the forums, then we can't help you get back in the game because you didn't make an appeal. This wouldn't be a problem on its own but it doesn't help that, as depicted above, you're melting down at other players when you perceive them as acting out against you. Which means you are stuck complaining that nothing is being done to stop your issue when there literally exists a way to fix your issue. I think that you are actually a pretty decent player when you are playing normally, and a great player when you're playing at your best. But you need to be able to keep yourself under control when you are under pressure or when you feel slighted. And you've just demonstrated, again, that you can't do that. Which means we have to now consider, for the rest of the players, whether that means you should be let back in. Understand that if you ARE let back in, if this happens again it will mean a permanent removal from ALL Wizard Den spaces. It will come with a game ban, a discord ban, and likely a forum ban as well. We have to protect the interests of every staff and player, and if you make staff or players uncomfortable then that means you do not belong in our community. Right now I'm looking for some sort of acknowledgement that you do understand what is wrong here, and an agreement that you will use the proper channels in the future.
  4. This was a two hour ban. You raised this much hell over a two hour ban. If you did absolutely nothing after getting banned you would be playing the game right now. This is our way of telling you to cool down. But you don’t want to cool down. That is very concerning to us. At your best you are a skilled and competent player but at your worst, you’re this. And we don’t want you in our servers if you’re going to behave like this. Respect is not demanded. Human beings start with a certain level of respect for each other that is added to or taken away based on their actions. You cannot say “I deserve some respect” after throwing, essentially, a temper tantrum after being given a slap on the wrist for REPEATEDLY threatening to break the rules. I’m going to lock this thread for a bit and we’ll come back to this in a few hours. For now your ban has been extended. If you try to contact another admin over discord I will close the appeal.
  5. Alright well, since you felt like pulling part of the ahelp out of context, I'll start by pulling the whole thing and we'll work our way through the issues. Issue #1, which is not even pictured here, is that this is the third time you've been ahelped today, and it's your 4th day playing since February. That's a ridiculous rate of issues and it indicates a pattern of poor behavior. You say here that you have not made the same mistakes again. What two prior bans for RDM show me is that you have stayed exactly the same. Issue #2 is the actual situation at hand. You killed the clown as a non-antag. Sure, you thought you were using non-lethal rounds or something. But it is not the game's fault that you used lethal rounds on the clown. You definitely broke the proper conflict escalation part of rule 4, but I'd argue that you broke the common sense part of it as well. You also protested your arrest, saying that you "only" killed the clown. The things you mentioned in this ahelp were not the things you were telling the security officers. I'm willing, however, to chalk that up to a communication error, rather than something more malicious. Issue #3 is the language you used. We've all been heated before, but you have a history of using improper and unacceptable language on SS14, including a ban and a warning (today!) for slurs. This indicates a separate pattern of poor behavior. Issue #4 is the fact that you do not appear to understand the issue from the clown's perspective. To the clown, you just walked up, pulled out your shotgun, and shot him without saying anything. You then decided to argue that it's fail RP for the clown not to run away from you? You literally did not RP with the clown at all. It doesn't matter if you intended to kill them or not. You walked up to the clown, popped two shotgun shells into them, and thought that was proper RP. I should not have to tell you why saying nothing to the clown and then executing them is not RP, but it appears I do. If this case were in a vacuum, and you had not had a history, then there would only be two (maybe two and a half because you cussed at an admin) issues, and you would be appealing a 7 day ban rather than a permanent one. But the fact is that you do. And we're much less lenient on people who have proven, multiple times, that they are not a good fit for this game. That's the mountain you are having to overcome right now. I hope that the transparency helps clear up any issues or questions you may have had. I genuinely am not sure what we're looking for in this appeal to let you back in but "I've improved and I will continue to improve" and "I am a good roleplayer" are not the correct answers.
  6. The elements that made me decide to escalate your ban to permanent were that you have 3 other bans on record- 2 for similar offenses, and you had already had a lengthy conversation with an admin earlier today day about something completely unrelated. I should have referenced those things before banning you initially, as they were what effected my decision. If you ping me again then I'll deal with this appeal. For reference, you probably want someone else to deal with it because I don't like being cussed at when I ask people why they killed someone without talking to them.
  7. Denied for attempted ban evasion, FredFigglehornFan1198. It's a bad look when you make an appeal directly after you're unable to connect by making another account. Try again in a week.
  8. Admin consensus is to deny your appeal at this time, on the basis that you’ve got way too many bans and a very high amount of warnings. Five bans over a long period of time is indicative of a pattern. Re-appeal in a month.
  9. Nah. You were jobbanned for repeatedly insisting that harmbatonning people for every arrest is the correct way to play security. We decided you shouldn’t be playing security. Appeal in two weeks.
  10. File an appeal with the template.
  11. I like that answer. Appeal accepted. Do not do it again.
  12. This one is going to take a little while longer because we want to reach a full decision internally. You have five bans on record (and one that was a mistake) and you're a rather prolific player outside of that. I expect to see a change in behavior if you are let back in.
  13. It seems you have quite the history with misuse of guns on our servers. If we let you back in how do we know this won't happen again?
  14. It's been a while. If this happens again, expect more hoops to jump through before you're let back in. Appeal accepted.
  15. If it happens again there will be a larger-standing consequence. If you are concerned that you do not have the time to commit to a full round, do not play an important role. Appeal accepted.
  16. You decided to protest the poor admin activity by saying a racial slur? If that's your reaction to there not being enough volunteer admins on your space roleplay game then I think you need to find a different space roleplay game. Appeal denied. I appreciate the laugh.
  17. This is your last chance. Appeal accepted.
  18. Appeal accepted. Do not do it again.
  19. Gonna deny this on the grounds of VPN usage to ban evade, and also your alts name in combination with what you were banned for. You can re-appeal in two weeks.
  20. Appeal accepted, sorry for the delay. It doesn't matter where you say racial slurs. Just don't say them. The fact that you didn't mean to say it over radio doesn't matter. If you do it again, do not bother to appeal.
  21. Denied because you attempted to ban evade for the game as well and did not mention it here.
  22. Admin consensus is to deny this appeal. Try again in a week.
  23. Yes you were definitely asking for topless female companions to dance for you in a non-sexual way. Yeeeeep. Breaking the rules "as a joke" is still breaking the rules. It's honestly even worse if the "joke" isn't funny. It clearly wasn't because another player reported you for it before I even saw it happening. Appeal denied. Try again in a week. If that appeal isn't very good the chances of you coming back are very slim.
