Staff Complaint - Itzal

[Kintsugi]

BYOND Key: DanseMacabre
Staff BYOND Key: Itzal
Game ID: Not really applicable.
Reason for complaint: I had a funny idea to play for April Fools. It involved playing a character I had made bearing a strong resemblance to a movie character - problem is, the name was locked to the original joke name of "Phoron Man". I had ahelped asking to have this changed to a name that sounded SIMILAR to "Phoron Man". Itzal took the ticket, asked me why, and I explained it was for April Fools. I was told this was not acceptable, and while this surprised me (Because of the things that normally fly on April Fools day- if you're wondering what I mean, feel free to look at some recent PRs on github...), I said it was fine and asked if I could go with a totally innocuous name instead. Itzal rather curtly told me that he had "no interest in helping me break the rules", and I said that at that point, he might as well close the ticket.

I later ahelped about my notes because of how unamiable the exchange seemed to be, and I was told I got a ticket for "...asking to rename a character to phoron man." I don't feel that I displayed the intent or the bad faith necessary to receive any administrative action, especially considering I have never before broken the rules on Aurora. I acknowledged that the first name I requested was unacceptable, and I was willing to go with a more normal name. I was not argumentative or combative - and, again, this was for an April Fools gag. I just don't think a note is fair, here.

Evidence/logs/etc:  

Additional remarks: This really isn't a big deal. I just think the note is absolutely unnecessary, and I'd like it removed.

My note was out of simple concern about adminshopping, nothing else.

After a bit of internal discussion about our aprils fools policy I am willing to just remove your note because I am no longer concerned about it.

If I came off as rude then I am sorry, was not my intention at all whatsoever.

That should cover all of your concerns or is there anything else?

That’s all, thanks for understanding
