BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Total Ban Length: Permanent jobban on machinist Banning staff member's Key: WickedCybs Reason of Ban: Destroyed an IPC rather than use their tools to remove its positronic safely. Had no real concerns about how it looked. Reason for Appeal: This one was completely on me, I took the wrong approach which at the time I only considered myself to be in the right during that event. I tried to justify it and fought back saying that's how my character operated with how tense everything was. I'm sorry about snapping at Cybs during that and what escalated after. I realized that I was the one at fault, and I'm sorry. I genuinely do like machinist and it gives me a good opportunity to provide some roleplay on a different level and I would very much like to play it again.

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: Unable to remember/Issued by the bot Reason of Ban: Cringe activity on my part involving measure head from Disco Elysium, making jokes and other cringey remarks. None of it was in good taste. Reason for appeal: Lesson learned over my absence. No one finds that kind of stuff funny. Neither on discord, in person or in the server. Pretty much not at all. It was completely immature of me to play that stuff out and then have the audacity to defend myself over it when it was brought up instead of simply apologizing.

No problem. Thank you for your consideration. Do let me know if I need to say more.

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Total Ban Length: Permanent (Told to try again in Nov/Dec) Banning staff member's Key: WickedCybs Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: After pondering it for a few months and having basically disconnected myself from the Aurora community. The only person to blame for the source of this (The issue regarding the robotocist character of mine) is myself. Instead of owning up to my mistakes, I instead let my grudge from past staff interactions completely dominate me which involved being aggressive during any and all staff interactions that I had. To which involved me pointing the finger at Mel, Cybs and other members of staff for being the source instead of simply owning up to my mistake and taking the original 3-day ban on the chin. This isn't an excuse for the staff complaints as well, those were completely at fault on my end and it was nothing more than mere fingerpointing instead of just owning up to my faults. To Mel, Cybs and pretty much all other members of the staff team that I got snippy/aggressive with. I'm sorry. I let past grudges manifest into something terrible and all I had to do was simply let it go. To which all I'm hoping for now is a second chance.

I can agree with me having to let go about the baggage and past issues 100%, to which I'm going to do that. However as Garn said, it all seems a touch 'feelcrafty'. Roughly put, I'm not fond of the wording when it came with 'Apply again at x and we'll see'.

This alone gives off the feel of fear in regards to players being targeted or treated differently in the game if they are seen as troublemakers or whistleblowers. Why are you stating the obvious message that attempting to rock the boat via making a staff complaint will lead to it being held against you? I made the staff complaint against Mel because I believe there was misconduct regarding the CCIA as a result of the investigation and the possibility of metabuddying due to the fact one of the whistleblowers helping the synthetic (In this case, a dominian snitching and helping a synth. Mel's character to be exact). and to plead my case via my side of the story. The issue with Mel was pretty much the reason for the ban, hence why I made the complaint against her.

Simply recalling on what cybs mentioned in the 'after everything that has happened'. The basis is that Cybs is possibly using past situations as a way for simply 'try again at the end of the year'. Going into detail on 'everything that has happened after it was applied'. 1) I was partaking in a giant group art commission for some interdepartmental stuff involving the character that Cybs deleted and I was informed through another staff member and due to Cybs blocking me after the ban, I was unable to obtain any further details. So I went back and forth with the artist on obtaining a refund. Why would I want to be taunted by a picture of my character that was deleted? That's a slap in the face if I ever seen one. So it led to me eventually having to go through with paypal until a refund was given, which nearly ruined the art project for everyone due to the stress on the artist. But why is Cybs punishing me for this? In what sane world would I like to see a character who was instantly thanos snapped out of mid-air without further discussion? Why am I being labeled the bad guy for realizing I wasted my money on an art commission of a now deleted character and wanted it back and now it's being held against me for post-poning my ban appeal? People have a right to not want artwork of a now deleted character of theirs and request a refund. Even more if the artist wasn't showing any progress and was working on other commissions in the meantime. 2) The complaint on Mel/The defamation. I honestly found it strange that Ki was instantly deleted due to that event without any further discussion /after/ all the quarrels she went through with Mel's character. Which it was obvious that it was putting some form of stress on Mel OOCly. The idea I found of a dominian snitching over a synthetic related manner as well did not help with the impression of giving off some meta buddy vibes. It's what led to me making the complaint in order to clear things up initially for this ban. However it was decided that it was simply better off filing a simple appeal. I had my reasonings and while I do apologize for the mess, I feel Cybs is simply punishing me for the complaint by purposefully keeping the ban extended. Is this the impression that is being given to other players? Make a staff complaint and we'll hold it over your head as a threat/ammo in the future? 3) In the ban reasoning, it was mentioned I have a negative attitude against staff. I won't lie, I have a defensive attitude when it comes to interacting with staff due to the fact it's admin notes such as this one That was left by Mattatlas and sent to me by another member of staff following a staff complaint. I find it difficult to be openly friendly and arms open to people in a group that openly called me a thick headed idiot behind my back. Let alone what else could be written in my admin note profile. It's tedious to put on a loving smile whenever I'm bwoinked and questioned. But I understand that I could focus on lowering my guard and forgiving past negative contacts. But take this a show of reasoning for why I'm a defensive turtle. Other than Matt's comment on the admin side note. I don't quite see a warning paper trail for my attitude. From Cyb's ban note, it simply seemed to be improvised out of the blue reason than more of a key part to applying said ban.

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Staff BYOND Key: WickedCybs Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: Judgement on the unban appeal. Evidence/logs/etc: I was told to make a staff complaint in regards to the decision made on my appeal by WickedCybs by another staff member. For I'm currently unable to discuss with them in private DM's on the matter due to a block between us. Additional remarks: N/A

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: WickedCybs Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: Following a temp ban due to some events days prior to this one. A part of me needed a scapegoat to practically target for the events that led up to this (Which in this case was Mel) since our characters had some IC disputes and the whole being told my character was deleted following the first ban did not help at all. It took a few months after this to learn that the real suspect in this whole case was myself. I failed to simply accept I was the one at fault that led up to all of this and decided to point the fingers at others in order to make myself feel better. Now I simply processed that no one else was at fault, it was just me. I'm sorry for it. Now I would like to come back and enjoy what RP adventurers I have with my other characters and friends.

Go ahead and close this complaint then, please. I'll file for an appeal on the ban with my side of the events then.

This is far from targeted harassment. The main reason behind this complaint is to combat the permaban issued by Cybs and my reasoning for the approach. Since the ban was issued for the interactions and conflicts with Mel, I wanted to explain /why/ I thought the way and discussed her to others about the thought process. I simply want this ban lifted, the character ban and the jobban I can accept the L on. However the server wide ban and the immediate blocking from Cybs who had to use another staff member as the messenger. As for evidence, since I'm not in the Aurora discord servers. I would like to bring in any notes on my account (from the administration side, since that's where the hidden admin notes are). Mostly the ones focused around the interactions after the first CCIA case. But again. The primary purpose behind this complaint is to simply display my view of the matters regarding Mel and this ban for this 'hate campaign' I have created. To clear the air and simply show what I witnessed from my side of events that led up to this. But to be fair, this should of been settled better for a ban appeal itself.

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Staff BYOND Key: Melariara Game ID: N/A Reason for complaint: Primarily for influencing the decisions of staff team members over the past few months following a set of recent run ins in-game between my character (Ki) and Mel's pharmacist (Yekta). Which can be traced back in here for incident one and the second but also most concerning one here which involved a DOMINIAN character who specifically have hatred over machine and machine life engraved into their culture snitching to Yekta over some comments that Ki had made. This implied to me at first that were was a case of metabuddying between this exchange of information. The CCIA OOC investigation that followed by a staff team member led to nowhere. However messages between myself and Mel led up with this being exchanged. After the second investigation by CCIA was over with, I began to notice the staff team seemingly to be watching over my actions more and more. Which led to a much more series of bwoinks, warnings and punishments issued. Which is strange because this occurred after the run in with Mel IC'ly. However in the past, I know that staff members tend to leave some passive aggressive notes in any warnings they give me. Hence the one below which was given to me by a member of the staff team that will remained anonymous. This led to the straw that broke the camel back when during a non-canon event hosted by Cybs, my character had decapitated a probably infected IPC which led to a 3 day ban and a job ban from machinist. That's fine, mistakes were made. However the salt in the wound was the fact the banning admin used another friend of mine to act as the messenger to tell me my character was deleted by staff decision with both Cybs and Mel refusing to speak to me over discord over what had occurred after the pass down that my character was deleted. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: This 'defamation campaign' that has been claimed I am doing by Cybs has been based around the fact that I've been voicing my suspicion behind the staff team actions being puppeteer'd. Since my character was deleted, I went to approach the artist after we had already paid them for a massive commission of the engineering/operations department and asked for a refund. This was given a big fat no to which I began asking players if it was justified to do a dispute via paypal. This put the whole commission at risk which I brought up to other players if it was justified since the whole ordeal was around my dispute with Mel. Even before that, after the ban. I noticed many of my friends who were either on the staff team either stop speaking to me or straight up block me. Even then, many of my non-staff member friends simply stopped talking to me. Not only have these events put the whole commission piece at risk in the community, it has damaged a number of my friendships. Call me thick-headed if you'd like. I don't take well to staff members approaching me with a passive aggressive attitude or the passive aggressive notes that they leave. But I'm simply not going to roll over and simply go 'it is what it is' in any chance to humiliate me.

I don't believe there is much I can say in my defense to this, it was a joke that ran from funny the first couple of times to completely dead, and it seems I've beaten the dead horse long enough. I'm not sure if simply saying sorry will absolve me of everything said, but I wish that it had been brought up to me sooner if it was making someone feel uncomfortable.

BYOND Key: Filthyfrankster Staff BYOND Key: Persephoneq / Faye Game ID: N/A (Discord) Reason for complaint: I was informed that a staff complaint against the moderator was the way to handle in regards to lifting a discord ban issued by them. While normally it is something to be waited out, I feel as if Persephoneq/Faye has had it out for me purposefully this past year and wish to see this investigated by a higher power again. If the temp ban could just be lifted, cool. I'll stop posting memes that were ordinarily left alone by other staff members. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: Reference the previous staff complaint against Persephoneq and their attitude regarding an ahelp against me. (I myself was unprofessional on my end, that I know) and the lingering text left in the deeper admin side not by Matt. Matt isn't being targeted in this complaint. Simply adding in further evidence that this bias exists.

After taking a moment to unseethe and cope. I would like to retract my player complaint and simply just want to say for future entailing. Please avoid following security directly into the danger zone of conflict. The wisest thing for that scenario after you even informed us that the trespassers were in the tunnels is to AVOID going directly into the tunnel or front lining with security. The hostage situation was unnecessary on all parts and only led to a stale series of bwoinking on all parties involved. There is no purpose of being a first responder if you're there on-scene of an active shootout or situation and end up getting shot or captured. That leaves one extension for medical down on a two slot role.
