BYOND Key: OmegaTracing. Discord key: omegatracing Total Ban Length: permanent Banning staff member's Key: MattAtlas Reason of Ban: "More creepy behaviour, no longer welcome here" Reason for Appeal: I...really miss my friends. And the community. They've all been in my mind, and how much fun i had with them, i just want to be able to talk with them again. Still, related to the ban, the "creepy behaviour" was, what i remember being, a lame pun that was "venus, more like penis", because of how both words rhyme, this following my permanent ban which involved creepy behaviour, that i won't bring up unless requested, as to not make this longer than it should be. Since that day (when was this, january?) I've spent some free days, doing my daily chores, gone through a lot of experiences involving socializing, and... I've come to realize that most of the problems i stumbled upon in the community were caused by me being used to socializing with people my age, repeating our dumb jokes and with little to no self censorship. I've also gotten a job, seeing how normal, day to day people act in real life. So... I'm more serious, and i know how to choose my words more carefully. I miss the game a lot, really, really a lot, other servers just don't fill in that catering that aurorastation fulfilled, and i miss the memorable characters too, a bunch of them i think of often, when reminiscing. But most of all, i miss the community, and the friends i made. I miss them a lot. I'd like to interact with them again, if you'd allow me. Please, and thank you.

Because I feel ignored. I feel like someone in the administrator team is dishing out bans in a manner that seems unjust and heavy handed. I am just.... Sad, and not only that, upset. I feel like I'm being seen as "yet another whining banned person" when my issue is that the way my ahelp was treated, and how i can be permanently banned for just... acting in the same way i do when i'm doing something casual, really, really scares me and catches me by surprise. And it's not unwarranted, everyone whom i've spoken to has agreed that the administrative team has behaved in a manner that is unbecoming or illogical, and no, not just people who have been banned or otherwise punished. I find it unjust, uncaring, and as much as i hate to use this word that's been used so much, it feels biased, as if the team had a personal gripe about my character and just wanted to get rid of it. And the common denominator as well? People didn't speak out on fear of being banned for it. It is crucial for a community to voice their concerns so that the leadership does not stray from its goal, and that is not happening, people are afraid to speak out about the team's decisions because they are afraid of being punished for it. And for a videogame community? It's a sad prospect... It makes me sad that my friends are afraid of losing the game they love, just how i lost mine for... a rather silly reason. My goal was not to incite a revolution, maybe a letter, signed by members who agreed that there needed to be change. But they're afraid to even do that. It was a heat of the moment thing, the "rile up" wording, as i calmed down, my train of thought became more logical. I just hope this can come to a solid conclusion. If either of you wishes to contact me, my discord is omegaTracing#4873 Thank you for picking this up again, and have a good afternoon.

If i can help in any way with this staff complaint, i can be reached through discord, I truly hope there can be a productive and benefitial conclusion to this staff complaint

Both, but the current topic is the latter. Matt approached me in an aggressive manner, and in a way that it left me feeling shamed. I understand what I said was out of the blue, and that if the player was present, I would not have said it, which by common decency, makes it something I should not have said anyways. Still, I feel Matt treated this impatiently and brashly, leaving no possibility of me learning from my mistake. I have not acted out of ill will, and my bans have been caused by different things that were not repeated, so, great mistakes caused by me learning the game's customs, since this was the first ss13 server I played on. And even now it feels Matt thinks of me as an antagonizer, someone who purposely acts against the administration team, and it troubles me greatly, making me afraid to speak out on this to the point that I spent so long building up the courage to make a complaint. All i ask is that the method and punishment are discussed, which would also include the way Matt decides the severity of his bans. I love this server, and I only wish for it to grow, thank you for your time reading my complaint.

BYOND Key: OmegaTracing Staff BYOND Key: MattAtlas Game ID: Unknown, event happened almost a month ago Reason for complaint: I believe that my punishment (permanent ban) was too great for my transgression, because i promised not to repeat said behavior and was still punished with the greatest punishment of its kind, and hope that it is reconsidered. Evidence/logs/etc: Additional remarks: Aside from feeling like this is too extreme for the situation, I believe it was unreasonable, I understand I have a tainted record, but it is not because of situations like this. My previous punishments were completely understandable, but I feel obligated to bring this up here as I feel I have been unjustly treated by Matt. Re-reading this, it could be interpreted that my answers do not seem to understand the situation, but in reality, i attempted to not answer in a manner it would show me "worried" as to assure that i would not contradict the request to stop this behavior. Sadly, I was banned before i could properly apologize, and I understand the severity. But the complaint here is for how Matt treated this issue, I believe they were aggressive here, and acted unprofessionally, if I was told "this is not appropiate, please stop", the interaction would have reached a much more productive path, but the way Matt treated me here made me feel hurt and hopeless, especially with how my character had developed over time with the rest of the crew, it is an abrupt end that has affected me to a personal level. I hope I am given a chance for dialogue about this topic.

BYOND Key: OmegaTracing Total Ban Length: Permanent ban Banning staff member's Key: MattAtlas Reason of Ban: Reason for Appeal: I believe that my intentions with the comment were misunderstood, I never intended to make anyone uncomfortable or creeped out, what I wrote, I wrote without a second thought and mindlessly, and I believe the punishment is too much as well. I am aware I had previous interactions with administration, but I firmly believe that these resulted in a better overall Roleplay capability on my end and both IC and OOC growth. As the past was justifiable, I would deem the current punishment in relation with the infraction, excessive. I apologise once again after having done such in the admin help where the issue was first addressed. I had no intent to come off as creepy and I am sorry that is the perception my comment gave. I promise this will never happen again. I really, really enjoy this server, other servers I play in is mostly impossible to actually get a chance to roleplay as a character, this is the only one i get a chance to, and this might fit as a sob story, but, before i head to bootcamp, i have about one month, which is one month left to play this server and wrap up any loose ends my character might have to end his personal narrative aboars the SCCV Horizon. I hope you take my appeal into consideration, and have a good day, afternoon or evening.

Got it, i didn't grasp the severity of my notes, but i swear that i've learned all i could learn from this, and i'll be more grounded when it comes to in-game actions, as well as in the community. I understand this is a black spot in my records, and it saddens me, but i'll do my best to show that i've improved because of it.

BYOND Key: OmegaTracing Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: readthisnameplz Reason of Ban: In a wheel chair with bone fractures, wheel'd up to point blank an antag who was just trying to leave and joined a fight with multiple other security members up. You've got way too many notes too quickly. Reign it in back in and play characters with self preservation. Additionally, this ban has been elevated to permanent due to messages of you "not caring" about the ban and it being "worth it". Reason for Appeal: Three days have passed and i have recognized my faults, as well as learned how to behave in high intensity situations much better. What i did, although amusing, had no place to occur in an HRP server, where character actions have to be grounded, justifiable, and most importantly, believable. The biggest issue is how i treat confrontations overall, throwing self preservation out the window as soon as situations escalate to the point of no return. However, after giving the rules another read, and this post, i put the mentality to test in another server, managing to learn well enough how it works, and i am certain i can show my new approach in-game. As for my messages of it "being worth it" and "not caring"... It wasn't, i said that because, at the moment, i was caught up with how hilarious i found it, but after giving it further thought, i realized: "Sure, we won the encounter, but was it the more satisfying one, narrative wise?" I realized that the antag, and by extent their player, had managed to make his way back to the ship, using every resource possible... Just to be ambushed by officers in wheelchairs, and losing. In a narrative sense, that's an awful ending, and the player must have been dissatisfied as well, which is why i'd like to apologize to the player here as well. Too often the security team overwhelms the antagonists in numbers, ending with them suffering an absolute defeat, i should have considered how the other people that were involved felt in the situation, and the enjoyment they must have gotten could have been hindered by my decision. I do care about the ban, because it was caused by my own mistake, and it was not worth it in the long run, for the consequences it had, and could've had. In a more concise version: I have read the rules again, i have read and recieved advice on proper fearRP and self preservation, then using it in another server. I regret my decision that day, and i no longer have the same opinion over this ban that i had previously. I hope this appeal is proof enough that i have learned, and will not repeat the same mistakes, and thank you for taking the time to read it

+1, although i am really baffled at the sheer amount of security characters that he makes... I do believe OP is a grrreat roleplayer and i am curious to see how he porrrtrrrays the Tajara. And i agree, Tazan is a powerful name. TAZAN. TAZAN.

I did not find much i could help with as a security officer, besides giving around oxygen tanks and preparing the Voidsuits! Current HoS put the team in guard duty, wich is an understandable decision, but personally i believe sec should focus on crowd control and keeping down the panic... of course, that's just an IC issue. But i did find myself suffering some migraines afterwards, not sure why, they lasted for the rest of the day, and persisted even after a nap. Maybe it was the red lighting mixed with all the sounds, and having to pay attention to both chat and the screen? Sure was stressful! Maybe the lights SHOULDNT be constantly red? Still, i personally had fun, and i'll make sure to always think ahead from now on!

I play Andrew Mower, an officer, and i've spent a lot of time interacting with Sputnik's various characters! I wish to vouch for his roleplaying abilities, and that he'd make for a good unathi. Hope he gets accepted!
