Got a notice as a forum DM and saw this was still up If i understand, alb is going to get a note or something for breaking the rules using Admin powers but it wasn't in service of retaliation. Gotta lock this thread @Garnascus

To clarify: I'm happy that Garnascus acknowledged alberyk violated the rules, and i accept there doesn't seem to be deliberate retaliation in Alberyk's complaint -- Alberyk's misconduct was seperate from the complaint and my ban. Does anything else need to be done?

Alright; that's fair. I'm satisfied in your responses and have nothing left to add. Thank you.

Per the staff complaint against him, Alberyk broke the rules by insulting me. Per the staff complaint, Alberyk also gave an improper strike that was overturned. Per your ruling in this thread, he broke the rules by releasing my play time. These three events happened immediately before he posted a player complaint against me. What other than if not this series of events would be evidence of retaliation? Do these events establish his intent?

Also im open to ideas on how alberyk expects me to give him evidence of anything now that they locked the door behind me when i left the discords. Otherwise aurora doesnt have any precense on my devices but for artwork i commissioned or someone had made for something.

Showing Alberyks bad behavior and bad attitude is necessary to show why and how he retaliated. I observed rounds and read all the lore shit being released and started playing more in-round, and wanted to talk about it like any other media. My playtime wasnt good enough and Alb releases it to the public as a Gotcha in a way any reasonable person would recognize as a way to make me look like a liar or whatever. If its not against the rules, can we see the playtime of other players? Where do i write in a request? I know a few important staffers play less than i did before i got banned for having commentary critical of alberyk. My behavior being toxic. What a terrible thing to say. Pointing out abuse from a member of this community isn't toxic. This kind of snide belittlement of me reinforces that he engaged in retaliation. He continues to berate me and use secondhand excuss -- "its your behavior thats toxic not you" and then accusations that i am admin shopping, on top of lying about his reason for showing my playtime.

It doesnt matter if it's weird. It matters if it's a violation of rules or staff conduct because violating the rules to "gotcha" me is something that head admins should not be allowed to do. Alberyk engaged in misconduct thru the original strike and it was overturned. Did alberyk violate the rules when sharing my playtime to the public? Would it be retaliation if he directly banned me? Is he violating any rules by calling me toxic for reporting abuse, on top of his other insults against me and my work? Because his flagrant rulebreaking already shown in insulting me shows he had interest in retaliation to get me banned.

Garn is an irl friend of mine; is there any need for him to recuse himself?

It was retaliation. Its not a 1:1. Still retaliation. The same behavior, different tools. I provided the link after because you asked to be shown it. You should have filed a staff complaint against the admin and cited my alleged misbehavior as reason to maintain the strike. Or done so in my original staff complaint. You chose a complaint to avoid having to defend your trolling/misbehavior because it was cited by the handling admin as a violation of the rules. You violated the rules by trolling me and i get striked for saying the trolling is just your opinion, then later get banned only after your rulebreaking was pointed out and reversed.

What you did with the complaint would be the equivilant of me contesting it by dragging out years worth of logs showing the mod to be a totally awful person in order to get them banned. It's retaliation. You violated the rules. You not needing to defend your actions is the point. You didn't appeal it because you know you violated the rules and you wanted to reapply punishment without having to justify your inappropriate behavior. I'm logging out again. Let arrow or garn know to message me on discord once a staffer takes this - i talk to them outside the server still. I dont get emails from threads.

It has been two weeks. Just checked in to see if i had missed any notifications. To recap, The head admin issued a strike against me and violated the rules of the discord server. The strike was overturned. The head admin was also noted to have violated the rules. The head administrator circumvented an admin ruling against them to make a player complaint, because the head admin wanted to retaliate. The punishment was then escalated to a full community ban. I was banned for having critical commentary with not enough play time. This is despite "having opinions while not playing enough" being anywhere in the rules. A whole new precedent was just made up on the spot. The rule is also selective. I am the only player banned for having critical commentary without playing enough. A rule was made up then set aside exclusively to retaliate against me. I was banned for reporting behavior i found to be abusive. I was called toxic for calling it abuse. This all happened only after their decision was overturned. They apparently had no problem with it until they could use the behavior to make me look bad. I was banned for having a reaction to one of alberyks staffers having in their DMs to me photos of punctured feet and two men having anal on a table. There's been zero consideration to how having those photos in DMs to me might make it reasonable for me to suddenly lose interest in the flow conversation. So much concern for someone trying to bully me, but that behavior is apparently of no interest when it happens to me. Another use of selective standards. Other members of Albs team posted claiming a conspiracy against them to make them look bad by editing my discord messages. When i tried to resolve a problem in a confidential complaint, it was promptly and courtesly taken and responded to, whereas this has gone two weeks in the same span of time with zero response from anyone. So alberyk has, 1) violated the rules to insult me. 2) violated the rules with an improper strike. 3) retaliated with an escalation of punishment by circumventing required processes. 4) violated the rules by insulting me for calling out bullying that violated the rules. 5) got me banned for not being deferential to his rule violations. 6) avoided having to justify his own behavior and making the focus about me thru this complaint rather than a staff complaint against the admin that overruled his rulebreaking decision. His behavior is abhorrent, rule breaking, and the enabling of it is atrocious. A community ban was not on the table until he got a decision overturned. Nothing i did bothered him until he violated the rules after feeling condescend to by the most milktoast commentary to his rulebreaking attitude. Ive faced this kind of retaliation before when i made a staff complaint against a mod over antag contracts. The staff member was fired. It didnt take 2 weeks for the first reply from administration. @Garnascus

I got community banned. Is this complaint still relevant?

I withdraw this suggestion.

Thanks for your time.
