mohav27026 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 BYOND Key: horizonenjoyer Total Ban Length: Permanent Banning staff member's Key: mattatlas Reason of Ban: "Suspected griefer. Did not reply to ahelps." Reason for Appeal: I had made a facetious new ckey to commemorate the unveiling of the SCCV Horizon, but evidently, the administration was on high-alert, and unfortunately for me, the game had started crashing right as MattAtlas sent a PM. I remember hearing the sound effect, but I never got a chance to see the message, or respond to it; I closed the game and reloaded it, in an effort to remedy the situation, but I was permanently banned upon reconnecting. I suppose it was interpreted to be an implication of malice that I was entering the server with a day-old Horizon-themed account name, and it seems probable to me that the administration was concerned with ensuring the "NBT" roll-out went as smoothly as possible, so I don't fault MattAtlas for being expedient. It has been almost a year, however, since I was denied by the universe the opportunity to observe the christening of the new map - all due to rather awkward circumstances - and I would like the opportunity to make up for that missed opportunity - if you'd have me.

MattAtlas Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Hi, I was on a vacation and could not get to this before. Essentially, it's right as you say - we are generally wary of meme ckeys during big events and tend to be more zealous than usual. Did you try to connect with any other ckey to the server?

mohav27026 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 I made a throwaway account in the last week or two, out of curiosity, to see if the ban was still in place, but I haven't played the game at all in the last year, and at the moment, have access to no accounts that I know the login credentials for. I have had discussions with staff members in the past about my idiosyncratic behaviour regarding my usage of multiple accounts, and if that is a point of contention, I am more than willing to restrict myself to the usage of a single account from here on out. It's a bizarre, and sort of obsessive thing for me, but I can understand how on the administration's end it can "muddy the waters," so to speak, and cause issues with parsing out my intentions. All I can do is give you my word that I have never sought to act maliciously toward the server, and would accept any conditions imposed on me for the sake of getting back in the game. Let me know what you think. Link to comment
MattAtlas Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If you make a new ckey tell staff but limit yourself to one if possible, since it can be annoying. Unbanned. Link to comment
