BlueOrb - Ban Appeal

[BlueOrb]

BYOND Key: BlueOrb

Total Ban Length: 1 week

Banning staff member's Key: Ricky madenson

Reason of Ban: Assaulting someone on the transfer shuttle with the excuse of it being an IC issue

Reason for Appeal: My actions were RP consistent, earlier in the round I was assaulted at random when I walked into the bar and hugged someone. The person insulted me and I insulted back, another person insulted my IC religion before I had my head hit off a table and was put into critical condition (http://prnt.sc/cv2yff) I ahelped about this and they said this was somehow an IC issue, I spend the round trying to track down my assailants to no avail, on the shuttle I see one and hit him a couple of times. I am immediately frozen within 2 seconds or so, cue Ricky madenson who calls me "insane" in OOC chat and then PM's me about this, I explain the situation and he claims because this event occured earlier in the round it is not valid at all. Now, I do not see how that makes any sense for one because I was on the brink of death only a few minutes beforehand and could not find my assailant (a shaft miner on the mining shuttle) to get suitable retribution IC. He said because the shuttle was pulled into the station it was considered End of round griefing, he is extremely rude and condescending the entire time he's messaging me and does not listen to any of my responses. He claims I have been banned for 3 days for end of round grief before (Which I do not recall ever happening) I ask him for proof that this happened multiple times (http://imgur.com/a/hzXyz) he completely ignores and bans me anyways. To me this is a clear indication of admin bias and possible metafriending/metagaming, or just an administrator having a bad day. Either way It's no excuse to ban me over nothing.

I was there for this. You started attacking the Unathi all of the sudden. Conflict is to be avoided at the shuttle at all times, except when it has started on another place. Your best option would have been to Ahelp about this before proceeding. You have several warnings regarding EoR stuff -some of them very recent-, and an old ban.

The following rule is the one being applied to your case:

Regarding End of Round Grief:

• Attacking people on Central Command, the escape shuttle, the escape pods, or the escape pod ship, without legitimate roleplay and IC reason is not allowed. If you have questions about this clause, please contact a member of staff via adminhelp!
• Security is allowed to conduct legitimate arrests during End of Round procedures. This includes performing arrests on the escape shuttle.
  
• Conflict is permitted to continue elsewhere on the station, and in the escape-arm/shuttle if there's prior roleplay involved.
  
• If at the end of round a member of staff requests that all attacks be stopped, please do so. Our goal at the end of each round is to tidy up any staff business as soon as possible, so the round may restart, and being flooded with attack-logs will make this more difficult, thus creating longer delays.

From what I saw, no roleplay was involved when you started attacking the Unathi. Given your warnings, Ricky decided to go with the one-week ban for this.

He refused to show me my ban and blatantly ignored everything I said to him. Also, I figured the assault on my character earlier was a valid motive and a self-explanitory reason for assaulting someone, I tend to go by what someone would do in real life when RPing, and it sounds completely logical in my mind that if someone nearly kills you and you have a chance to return the favor, you won't create dialogue with them first.
