[Denied] SadKitten's unban appeal

[SadKitten]

BYOND Key: SadKitten
Total Ban Length: Permanent
Banning staff member's Key: Houseofsynth
Reason of Ban:  
Reason for Appeal:  I tried to join this server today for the first time, and got this message.

 

I've got no idea who that is or why it's showing up and I would really like to try out your server. Could you look into this, if you have the time?

 

Regards,

Weell you've got a bit of explaining to do. How come you share a unique identifier with the banned player in question, Mirkoloio? One of the more harder-to-fake ones. And you're from the same country, apparently, as well.

[SadKitten]

I've recently bought this used laptop at a store that sells old electronics near me. I'm not affiliated with that person in any way. I can show you the receipt.

 

Here's a screenshot I'll add, scanned the receipt.

The list of troubling things:

• The first link on Google to a receipt generator allows me to generate a receipt matching yours exactly. I'll add an image down below.
• The receipt itself is missing the company's legal information. Namely the actual company name (with the type extension, so like GmbH or whatever you have over there) and potentially the VAT registration number.
• This is a really clean receipt scan. I would love to have receipt scans this clean when doing my non-profit's book keeping, but oddly, I never do. ?
• The tax rate noted doesn't match the normal VAT rate for Germany. Reference.

So uh, lemme ask you again. Are you certain that you are being honest with us?

[SadKitten]

Well, no. The receipt is fake, but I thought It'd make it more believable than just saying 'Yeah I bought it.'

I've got no idea who that guy is though.

[Skull132]

Well, here's the question then. Why would you: someone who doesn't know anything about us and presumably holds no ill will towards us, lie as the first thing they do? And more specifically, why would you lie over a matter that we did not even touch, meaning you tried to actively mislead us.

I hope you understand that this makes the entire thing highly suspect for us, and makes you relatively hard to believe. 

[SadKitten]

I do certainly understand. I simply wished to make it more believable, you know? 

I did not intent to cause any trouble or harm with it.

[SadKitten]

Am I allowed to bump this? As I said, I'm looking for a new community, and I'm running out of games to play.

Hello. Unfortunately, due to the dishonesty shown in this appeal and the factors suggesting this is an evasion attempt, this appeal will be denied.

Locking and archiving.
