Dinobubba7's Job Unban Request

[dinobubba7]

BYOND Key: Dinobubba7

Total Ban Length: Permanent

Banning staff member's Key:Ezuo

Reason of Ban: Banned from Warden- For continually joining as a warden and then either SSDing or AFKing for supremely long periods of time. You've been warned about this before.

Reason for Appeal: Well, the first reason is that this ruins a character I have built around this job, also destroys most of the RP I have managed to create with that position, also my one issue is that I do apologize for having to go AFK and not mentioning it o anyone, the fact is that my parents are super strict and super unpredictable in terms of stuff they want me to do, so if they call me I have to do immediately or else I will lose everything, mind you I am 18. The other reasons for going super long AFK was that well... I sink so much time into SS13 I tend to well... fall asleep at the keyboard in the middle of a game, in light of that matter I feel like if I feel like that is going to happen that round, I will not play as a Warden that round, or if I feel like my parents are going to ask me to end up doing a lot of stuff, so I do not mess anything up and ruin peoples round, I just enjoy the role, giving me stuff to do, and having fellow players enjoy me at the helm of the role. SO please consider this all, and I respect the outcome of your choices.

First thing to note here is that the ban isn't actually of permanent length, it's just that the length of said ban isn't shown in player notes (Which I'm assuming you had someone check to see why you couldn't join as Warden). It is actually set for 7 days, and expires on 2017-11-29.

Though I can see that you have some valid reasons for going SSD/AFK, you are still doing so in a high priority slot without informing anyone at all. I would argue that outside of command positions, the warden is probably the most important slot to stay active in. There is only a single one, after all, and it has access to the armory. The skill and activity of a warden can make or break a round in some cases.

There are two major problems I can see with lifting this without organizing some kind of change. The first issue is the lack of communication when you go AWOL. We accept and expect people quickly shooting us ahelps when they need to quickly go SSD/AFK mid round as an important slot. It means that we're aware of it, and can even cryo you if you know you're not coming back anytime soon. The second issue is that, once again, the warden is an important slot. I wouldn't hesitate to say that if you don't know that you can manage a round without being AFK for half of it, then you shouldn't join as such an important role.

I would be willing to lower the time of said ban to 1 day instead of 7 if you agree to take these points in stride, start ahelping when you need to leave, and will use better judgement on if you are awake enough to manage a whole round. That single day will give you some time to think about any possible organisational things you want to set up (e.g. a macro to send us an ahelp if you don't have time to type out one).

Thank you for reading this, after reading the guideline you set up for me I will happily accept it, I'll try to figure out how to set up a macro, as well as be on and alert more if I got AFK, if I know that I will not be bothered by parents during a round I'll play warden, if no then I won't play it, either way thank you for your time, also I said permanent because no one told me how long it was, and from past job bans it is usually a perma

I've lowered the ban timer to 24 hours from now. Locking and archiving.
