JustMercy1994's Unban Request

[JustMercy1994]

BYOND Key: JustMercy1994, LoneTophat

Total Ban Length: Permanent

Banning staff member's Key: VoltageHero, my favorite person, really.

Reason of Ban: I admitted to being LoneTophat and apparently "bandodged" by moving into a new apartment and playing here for a few months.

Reason for Appeal:

I sent a picture of a rather famous gay porn star when I was trolling some person like a year ago. I have since played here for about three or four months with only minor incidents occurring.

I've also been whitelisted, again, and have several Head of Staff characters you know and love.

I'm not so bad, am I? JustMercy, ya know?

Link to previous complaint that resulted in permaban.

I'll let the community weigh in on this one just for thoughts, and then take a look at it in the morning.

For the record, did I at least do alright these past four or so months? I've certainly enjoyed how Aurora has eased off from the heavy roleplay requirements.

I think theres a reason that admins decided that Tophat would be permanently banned without appeal. I find sexual harassment abhorrent, and the fact he came back as a different cKey knowing that he was permanently banned with no chance for appeal shouldn't change the fact that it said there should be no chance to appeal.

Go away and stay away. You've been treated with niceties for too long now, and you still haven't gotten the message?

Get a grip and go somewhere else.

Edit: Uncommitted a not so nice insult upon request from a forum moderator. My point still stands. You still should experience the consequences of having sexually harassed another player without any solicitation or reason whatsoever. "Don't be a dick" may be fairly broad and vague, but it takes a person with very low self-value to not know what that constitutes as. You should stay banned as the example.

Oh, does it make a difference if the IP you banned was a university's server? I mean, I doubt anyone there plays this game, but...

[Guest]

I wonder whose fault that is.

[JustMercy1994]

I mean, I didn't honestly think coming clean as JustMercy would result in an immediate re-acceptance into the community, but I have behaved these past few months while playing on the server.

The incident that caused my permanent ban was, I will admit, in poor taste and clearly inappropriate. I trolled someone on the Byond Pager and sent them a google image of a gay pornstar.

This has been since inflated as some illegal act by Dea, but honestly, I don't see the grounds. I'm 21. The person in question has been confirmed to be an adult under UK law.

So I suppose what this really has developed into is a scary ghost story, as the reference on Rusty's ban thread reveals. I will forever be known as that guy who broke rule #1.

So yeah, don't break rule #1 or you'll have to keep playing at Aurora for years at a time under other aliases.

For posterity's sake, I'd like to point out that neither me nor Dea have anything to do with your banning.

"It's no big deal, guys, I just sent some girl nude pics as trolling. Just a prank."

"We're both adults, so it doesn't matter whether they wanted them or not, right?"

This post has EVERYTHING. WHOO, FUCK. It's too soon for this.

You were previously banned for sexually harassing another player. You making an alt account and getting past that ban doesn't magically grant you another chance at an unban.

Locking. Feel free to unlock if there's more to add.

I'll add, for posterity's sake.

This is actually true. Your chances of getting unbanned once you break rule #1 to a stupid degree are pretty much slim to none. Mostly because, once you involve another community member, who is most likely here just to play a game, in some stupid bullshit, as you did, then you can pretty much stay gone forever. We're here to play a game, and no one is required to put up with anyone's crap like that.

After much deliberation with the rest of the admin staff and modmins, I've come to a conclusion.

The ban will not be lifted because of the nature of your original ban regarding harassment of another member of the community (at the time). Just because you were able to log onto the server using a different account does not excuse what you did before and definitely doesn't warrant an unban on the count of good behavior. Especially when you accumulated more than one note regarding your conduct as a head of staff, a major issue back when you were here before, and attacking another player in OOC before. If you had changed, I don't think this would have been an issue.

Appeal denied.
