To reiterate what deltanedas said, datacenter bans only block ranges of IPs utilized by VPN services that have been abused to attempt to evade bans. Turning off your VPN should allow you to connect. If you are still having issues despite disabling your VPN reach out to myself or on discord and we'll see what we can do.

You seem to have a firm understanding of why this was an issue. This was principally an appeal ban since you could not be contacted at the time of offense. The arrivals station and area is off-limits to both antagonists and normal players as far as disruptive activity goes as this essentially takes players out of the round before they have an opportunity to do anything. This ban will be lifted.

Except OP is exclusively complaining about people stealing from him, not about people impersonating him.

Hi. We specifically rule against killing AFK players for the very scenario which occurred, where AFK players come back to the game and are rightfully upset they have been murdered for no reason. Perceived rule-breaking by other players does not enable you to do the same. Furthermore I do not appreciate you insulting our staff for enforcing rules that you appear to have little regard for. Volunteer administrative staff are not your verbal punching bags. This appeal will have the opposite effect and your ban is upgraded to appeal-only. You may appeal this ban in no less than two weeks from now (April 11th, 2023).

Hi. I realize I am posting on a closed appeal. Due to your repeated attempts at ban evasion, repeated failure to follow simple instructions both in the relay and in creating an appeal, spamming the ahelp relay, pretending not to understand administrators in ahelp, and the following attached notes in your very short playtime, please do not post additional appeals for at least the next six months (Sept. 28, 2023), if at all.

We allow appeals directly after a ban principally if the appealing user believes the ban to be mistaken, false, overly harsh, or any other factors in play. It would appear to me that you have admitted that your ban was correct. I would suggest that if you are this irresponsible in a command role or you simply do not like playing Head of Personnel that you set it to never on your job preferences, then you would avoid this entire issue. As it stands, I don't think any of our administrators will entertain an appeal on this ban within 24 hours of it being applied. Appeal again in a week (April 04, 2023).

I'd just like to point out something in your line of thinking. The animals on the station are not just wild savage animals that happen to be around or else I would assume they would be programmed to attack people like a wild animal tends to do. The pets and other animals the heads of staff have would probably be called "Domesticated", and I am almost certain that the ghost role rules for hamlet do not instruct you to vandalize the bridge as much as possible to the distaste of literally everyone. I think the only reason you hid from people trying to intervene with your behavior is because you know that attacking someone will get you killed instantly, thus rendering you unable to grief the bridge even more. While your assertion is correct that you don't have recent bans or notes (for only the last three months, not a year), you have a worrying track record that goes back to at least October and a lot more history that appears even older.

Usually, the banned user is the person that provides us assurance that they can be trusted to abide by server rules. I don't think this is so much an issue of you not understanding the rules. I think this is an issue that you get bored and disregard the rules as a form of entertainment. We will discuss this internally.

I have a few issues with this appeal I'd like your input on before we discuss it internally: Emotions such as sarcasm are famously difficult to detect over text. When you said "Yo, bomber dudes, go bomb everything. Attach them to substations or something. I'm really bored, you can do it!", there is nothing in there that will definitively tell anyone if you are just kidding or not. This is supported by the fact we received an ahelp from a player asking if they had permission to bomb things. To clarify, a "Security Officer" was not the one trying to take you up on your message, it was a player asking to bomb security (the physical location of the brig). This is not your first ban. Your first ban was on January 24th, 2023, for randomly attacking someone as a hampster "because you were bored", minutes after ahelping to ask if you could attack people and being told no. You appear to have a particular habit of blatantly breaking the rules due to boredom and this instills little confidence you will not continue to be problematic if we unban you.

Administrator consensus is to deny this appeal. While we cannot fault you for having what would appear to be a graphical glitch, the manner in which you presented it causes significant doubt with our team that you play fairly. The original wording you used in your post was "Hello, guys. I have some problems like technically legal cheats. I prefer to play fair, but this mf killed me". This seems to imply to us you were going to utilize this bug or exploit to grudge someone who killed you. You may appeal again in a week (April 01, 2023).

If that's the case then we'll close this.

If you don't have anything relevant to add to an appeal, do not post on it.

Per your last appeal your ban is not appealable. Do not post additional appeals.

To clarify, make your appeal legible and not just an entire brick of text somewhat related to the template. Use the template. If you can't follow the template a third time I don't think we're going to entertain an appeal.

Hi. Let me refresh your memory on the rules, of which this particular rule is rule 1: ”Absolutely no hate speech, slurs, bigotry, IC specism (demeaning other characters in-game due to their in-game race), or anything even remotely similar. [YOU WILL GET PERMABANNED]” You may have also noticed this above that rule: “ZERO TOLERANCE RULES - VIOLATING THESE ALMOST ALWAYS RESULTS IN A NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED APPEAL-ONLY BAN, REGARDLESS OF YOUR EXCUSE” This is your second appeal ban. As such this is only appealable after six months (Sept 24, 2023) and only with a voucher of good behavior from another SS13/14 server.
