Reason for ban: OOC in IC 

Length of ban: 3 Days

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): dispute

Why should you be unbanned?

3 days is absurd when chat violations warrant a mute as a former staff member, when i was in the sit room the staff said I was previously warned several times (I had just joined the server right before posting the message) which he used to build a fallacy that I am the bad guy in this situation. This is an absurd ban when it should be a mute especially for speaking the truth. Many people were upset by my ban and said I should appeal this to challenge the tyrannical group this pedobait retard surrounded herself with.

Hi,

The server was experiencing a huge influx of OOC in IC rulebreaks, with numerous staff announcements made that the punishment for doing so would continue to increase. It was made aware to the players of the server that the next punishment after the 30 minute mutes would likely be a worse punishment.

When you decided to then post an OOC in IC advertisement, a deliberate choice to spread it to the widest possible playerbase, I was told to issue a ban. The ban length was determined by myself with some advice from other staff members.

Whilst in the sit you asked "What can you actually do about it" - I assume because you believed you could get away with a mute and feel no real consequence for your actions. 

At the end of the day you knowingly broke the rules of the server, using OOC in an IC channel to harass a staff member and you were confident you would not be punished duly.

There is no specific guidance on what is and isn't a suitable punishment, but I had sought advice and was recommended to issue the ban. I believe the ban is justified and your actions in the forums and server discord further highlight your lack of remorse, understanding or care about your actions.

I believe Pendred has said enough on the other aspects of this case and I will not need to repeat what he has said to everyone in here.

Good luck on your appeal

Former staff member should understand why you don't do that in-game and why the existing methods of reporting a user either over forums (staff report) or #support ticket exists.

Having for months on end people bring us bits and pieces of a story / information / images / clips and expecting something to be done without a more concise and clear proof of wrong doing doesn't lend itself to make public sweeping accusations or assumptions. Pendred has spoken on this before.

Bans for OOC in IC are not unheard of, in this context a shorter ban was likely more appropriate.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted.

The ban will be reduced to 1 hour.
