Hi. Don't think there's anything wrong with this. Accepted.

Hi. Good to see you've taken some time to reflect, and I think you are being genuine. Appeal accepted.

You were engaged in a conversation about the protests and mentioning people setting themselves on fire in these protests, all of which falls under rule 9. You started talking about this after Garn mentioned busting protests and then kept going. This effectively enabled the conversation. I will say the ban reason is probably badly worded and that it should be changed, if a discord bot ban even can be changed like that. I will see. But I still think the ban is valid.

This is the same as saying that strikes first are required, which they are not.

While generally strikes precede a ban, this is not a requirement for staff, as seen here in the rules; Bottom line, you made an inflammatory political statement that was against the rules - whether it was a joke or not - and we've had a rash of people doing this lately with no changes when striked, meaning people are not getting the message, so I am going to skip straight to bans in this case.

all this thread confirms to me is that the average aurora gamer spends their time staring at the crotch region of pixel spacemen

BYOND key: Roostercat12 Discord name/id: roostercat Borg / AI names: R.A.I.N. (Remote-Access Intelligent Network) Have you read the Aurora wiki page about the AI?: yes Why do you wish to be on the whitelist?: I've always found the AI as a concept on space station 13 to be neat. A role with VASTLY different gameplay and roleplay than everybody else, and the sensation of "being the ship". The reason I hadn't really pursued the WL sooner is because I was more or less satisfied with just playing normal crewmembers more than a lack of any interest. Nowadays I hunger for new things. So I must be the Robot. I never really liked playing borg either for a few reasons, the primary one being that the borg more or less has to steal someone else's job to exist. The AI is its own thing, though! Have you received any administrative actions? And how serious were they? I was warned like 4-5 years ago for talking smack in LOOC, nothing else since really (non-note wise). Do you understand your whitelist is not permanent, and may be stripped following continuous administrative action? yes

Accepted. Sorry this took so long, finals plus just general end of the semester madness

I do, yes.

Since Read is no longer an admin on Aurora, I'll be taking this. One very important thing to note here is that you were banned by a player complaint, meaning the entire situation was looked over and it was determined that you were deserving of a ban. So I'm not entirely convinced that now, a full year later, the ban is shrimply wrong and nothing there happened. Additionally, just because the complainter got banned doesn't mean the complaint is invalid. So this appeal is denied. Locking this soon.

Right, I've talked with Cybs - the other person on the custom item team - and we've come to the conclusion that we are going to be denying the item for now. The expanded story is more or less just the original with more words, we feel. A custom item needs to have specific reasons for belonging to a character beyond it being made specifically for them. In the example I gave you earlier, Tokash's mantle was symbolic of a mindset change, and a gift from a family member while representing his guild. The guild representation is arguably the smallest part of the story, making it symbolic of the character's views/personality and thus specific to them as a character. As it stands, the story for this suit still sums up to "It was made specifically for them, and they still have it today." There isn't much of a story to work off of from there. If you have any further questions, you can DM me or Cybs. Gonna' be closing this for now.
