Just took a day off and then played a round again, immediately meta grudged with made up bullshit by Pancake and i assume other mods or friends in game. Dont even bother playing official if you catch an admins attention and they decide to powertrip. For those who call bullshit, i was playing passenger, went to hop, asked for access to morgue and got the job called ghost whisperer mainly so i could go around telling people that the ghosts thought their moms were fat. walked into medbay, went to morgue, the detective and others were there so i was gonna make up some bullshit and flash my id for a bit of RP fun but the CMO, who was i assume pancake because they always use the name klon or clon, assaulted me with hypo spray, made me unconscious and then had the detective arrest me for trespassing, made up lies of previous trespasses which i hadn't done, the detective dragged me out to prison and then sentenced me to 7 minutes, i told him the HoP had given me a job, he said tough shit, the HoS chimed in HoP was dead and deserved it although i dont think they were dead. Anyway dont even bother, this moderation and admins reminds me of all those terrible ones on ss13 who spend all day in discord where if you arnt part of the small clique and you win against one of them or dont go along with their whims in game the whole clique will grudge you. You can ban this account for the criticism, im gone and i imagine this game will die once the russians get bored.

Took a 2 month break and joined up again today, played on the nyan server since wizards was full for a couple rounds nothing happens, i joined wizard and then played 4-5 rounds as mime, a couple rounds in i get a bwoink from Pancake who immediately accuses me of handing out guns as captain, i don't think i have ever played captain. I tell them so, and they reply in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable, like they holding it against me or don't believe what i said, so i reply slightly more aggressive (no swearing or bad words) and state Ive never played captain. Soon after they make an excuse and say they got the names mixed up and leave me alone. I continue playing for a couple rounds as mime and again i get bwoinked by Pancake, this time they claim i have 4-5 ahelps for the last few rounds, they even stated i went mime and slaughtered the crew? My actions were normal, i have not murdered nor even assaulted/hurt a single person since joining, the worst thing i had done was multitool into bridge and wave at the captain and dance from outside the actual bridge, i was then jailed and did time in sec. I am unsure if i am being targeted by Pancake who is looking for an excuse to ban me, Pancake brought up previous reports that are months old, i admit that i did deserve those reports because i had just started playing and was acclimating to ss14 from ss13, i did get an early ban for WGW over announcements because i didnt realise it wasnt allowed, i havnt done so since. Pancake did state that i should take this further with someone in discord, but they arnt on the server list so i thought i'd just post it here for now. I guess this thread is just a question, Am i being unfairly targeted? Is it my playstyle as mime that is against the rules? As mime i do make a slight nuisance of myself and block doors with invis wall, occasionally i will put a vending machine in front of a door but never in front of actual important areas like medbay, i do often slip sec officers with soap and because im good i can usually get away in maint, if an officer pulls a baton and tries to hit me, if i have soap ill drop it slip them and then take the baton and run, not attack them with it. I assume that this is a normal playstyle for mime, similar to the clown who is always a minor nuisance not that the mime cant be played differently. I guess this is an entreaty to the official devs, a lot of ss13 servers die because of poor moderation but in the end that's just a server, im unsure if ss14 an entire game with a small but growing community can survive poor moderation, to be clear i am not asking for Pancake to be removed as moderator, im merely hoping this post will get you to consider guidelines for how admins communicate in game bwoinks, to an admin a slight mess up in accusations is just another monday. To a player, being accused of doing something against the rules can be a death sentence (perma ban). Anyway ill just play on the unofficial servers for now until i get some sort of response, i have to admit my initial hope for this game has decreased greatly. SS14 is it's own entire GAME not just another server on ss13, i guess i feel disappointed because you expect a more professional/rational/corporate response from official GAME admins and moderators which is not what happened today.

After going through other ban appeals it seems like getting WGW banned is a regular occurence and i'd reccomend adding a note to the rules that memes like WGW will get you banned, i understand that the server admins are trying to distance ss14's culture from ss13 however if you dont have any notes about that in the rules players like me who come straight from ss13 arnt going to know about it and it will keep happening.

SS14 account: Pomflord Character name: Benny slaughter Type of Ban: Perma Date of Ban and Duration: 3/06/22 Reason for Ban: Comms consoling WGW Server you were playing on when banned: Lizard Your side of the story: I was the mime, it was low pop with 20 players and an hour into the round, i was bored and was in the bridge, captain and crew didnt care since id been in there making it my base for half an hour and adding wooden floors. i got bored and stated over announcements that the captain had a file called WGW and then i started to read it out over announcements, i welded the doors since i expected to be lynched and very soon the clown and captain were breaking in to get me, this was fine as its the normal response to WGW. Why you think you should be unbanned: i really dont think i should have been banned at all, WGW is a classic ss13 meme that has been around for more than a decade it is a huge part of the culture and community of ss13 and has spawned countless other variations, reading it out over radio or comms and getting immediately lynched is a game tradition, if the server admins dont want it to happen or discourage it then a warning or kill sign would have been fine, even a temporary ban would have been fine if it was short, I really dont agree with this decision. Anything else we should know: Not much but since i doubt im going to get apealed i just thought id state that i have really enjoyed the game and that i have been playing ss13 for more than a decade and with my experience if you keep insta permaing players for minor shit like this the server population will die which isnt good since this ss14 feels like a proper evolution to ss13 without all the crap byond code.
