Then you are going to descend into Fulp or Skyrat tiers of interlocking bible-length rule docs and stuck up, micromanaging admins. Ripping players out of the game just because they said a no-no word will suffocate the server until there's nothing but sterile, flat rounds. Forget the complaint, start over with the rule page and rulings if you actually want what's best for the server. Goodbye.

"Breaking immersion is strictly prohibited on our server. Calling someone a chucklefuck regardless if its IC or not is unacceptable due to its chaotic nature." "Powergaming is strictly prohibited on our server. Calling someone a paranoid hoarder regardless if its IC or not is unacceptable due to its overpreparing nature." "EORG or end of round grief is strictly prohibited on our server. Calling someone a hate-driven lunatic is regardless if its IC or not is unacceptable due to its violent nature." See what i mean? You cannot ban words relating to prohibited actions if you still wish to maintain a believable (or even enjoyable) experience. Besides that, where does one cross the line with "nature". Am i not allowed to IC or OOC mention that i have a girlfriend at risk of running afoul of this rule?

BYOND Key: ClownPhucker Staff BYOND Key: persephoneq Game ID: No idea how to get it. If you are able to find it through the ban message or need my help getting it, tell me. Reason for complaint: I'd like to be unbanned. Fact is, while the ban reason is technically correct. Truth is that i was banned not because i was doing something actually harmful to the server, but because the moderator personally didnt like the language i occasionally used. There is no rule for "Inappropriate behavior" that i could find. Closest item i could have violated is "dont be a dick". Which wasn't violated either. All instances of such behavior were separate, after which i complied with staff's requests. Not to mention that at no point did anyone take issue with me except the staff members, there were no "flame wars" or disruption. If there really is a list of bad words you cannot say under any circumstances, i could not find it. "Needy slut" was perfectly acceptable in character given the situation. All the mercenaries were playing cannibal raiders and being forced by circumstances to use medical supplies on a stranger was something undesirable. Even if it was random, i dont see how using an insult IC is a problem, especially in a game that requires conflict. The killing was me putting control shots in an already dead body after said subject succumbed to her wounds. Not a random killing. "KKK joke" was a quick suggestion during gimmick brainstorming. One that was shot down by peers, and forgotten about. Evidence/logs/etc: Really, all you'd need is the round ID. My behavior can be seen to clearly not be in violation of rules or disruption to the server's workings. Additional remarks: Having admins hand out bans due to personal issues rather than any in-game ones is surefire way to kill the server's quality.

Staff complaint, alright.

BYOND Key: ClownPhucker Total Ban Length: 1 week Banning staff member's Key: persephoneq Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: There is no explicit rule for "inappropriate behaviour". Closest rule that was in there was "Dont be a dick", which i wasnt. All the reasons mentioned in the ban appeal happened on separate occasions, after which i complied, as well as being non disruptive. There were no arguments to be had, or attacks on particular people. Mentions at best. The "calling someone a needy slut IC while killing them" was a response to me trying to having to use medical supplies to heal the victim while the entire mercenary group was playing cannibal psychos in animal masks, everything that happened was in context and good faith. Truth is, the admin banned me not because i was actually being disruptive or disrespective, but because he didn't like the language i was occasionally using. And that is easily visible within the round.
