Biabri - Ban Appeal

BYOND Key: Biabri

Total Ban Length: Permanent.

Banning staff member's Key: Schevingen.

Reason of Ban: Can't actually see it, it looks like I've somehow taken someone else's ban on top of mine? ??? Fralun something.

Reason for Appeal:

Effectively, I just wanted to see if anyone had had a change of heart. I'm not incredibly interested in grovelling or crawling for forgiveness, I know that while I could have acted to avoid punishment, I would have been playing a different game to everyone else. If I'm being perfectly honest I'm not even going to play. I might offer to help out with code in some places though.

I wasn't on 'thin ice', I was being harassed by a player who had it out for me and Schevingen who falsified evidence and used me to score community love points. This was pretty plain to see for everyone, but not one person intervened. For a while, I was annoyed at staff, but eventually realised that in the end, the blame fell on Schevingen, who was clearly acting on the word of someone else. We've gone over everything regarding this, we don't need to again. I've made my points. You've seen all the evidence and you've seen me point out every single one of their lies.

Schevingen started a campaign of lies and false evidence against me because I'd upset her buddy, making absurd rulings. Shcev then used falsified previous offences as the final ruling for the ban. Defending myself, I was described as aggressive and toxic. Patently untrue, and said in a way that was reminiscent of someone else I'd taken issue with.

Whether Schev actually disliked me personally or whether they were guided by the bias and viewpoint of someone else, I can't really say. Schev made it very, very clear that someone had spoken about me to them in a negative light.

Schev also got other staff involved in the action. Some inferior moderator or something set out to create no less than 4 separate incident reports about my character, two of which I believe were thrown out OOCly and two were plainly a set up in which I hadn't even done anything particularly bad.

IR's were just a way of trying to get at me when the ahelps didn't land or stick. Despite the fact that they were flat out lies, they played a part in the eventual ban. Schev said something like "Why do you have so many IRs?" and I believe I pointed out that every single one was from the same person playing different roles and characters.

I'll admit one thing, I did stop caring about the rules at a point. Why follow them? People would lie about me anyway. I got away with some stuff. Not particularly griefy, but slightly lowrp at times.

Some incidents:

Schev protects random racist assistant for pretty much no reason. He has no worth on the station. This was complained about by multiple people. He was a gimmick character that did literally no assisting and just wanted to be "hehe fuck liggers" with no real justification. LOWRP.

Schev falsifies evidence and lies plainly in a report against me, actually going to another round during the complaint to try and dig up any dirt on me. Ends up looking like a fool when I call them out but no action is taken at all.

Racist assistant non-antag harbours a metagrudge and when I try to sedate them and make them leave the medbay, they react aggressively. I didn't deal any damage but I believe I got hit. Later, when this dude comes to fuck up medbay, fully armoured and with guns, I hit him, once, then back off. This results in me getting hit by 3 sprays of bullets after 5 or 8 seconds. Schev says this is an IC issue.

IC issue.

Tell me this shit isn't dodgy.

Despite the fact that I had many, many false accusations levelled against me, I retained completely and undeniably truthful throughout.

Everyone else on the staff team watched this happen and probably laughed along with Schev.

Sorry, but I'm really NOT sorry for how I acted towards the end. I was rude, sure, but only in response to incompetence or downright negligence.

I had to make this point, I'm not really fussed if it's approved or denied.

I was in the right.

I quit staff some time ago but I feel a lil bit obligated to comment since this was my ban to issue. Not that my advice is incredibly solid in the current state but I'm just putting it out there that I'm going to comment and stand up for myself when I'm accused of lying without evidence or proof.

In your last appeal, you effectively accused me of being a double agent of some sort 'serving' under the interests of someone else. Let it be known that as much as I tried to act as proactive as I did to enforce the rules in a riskier but more impactful way, I still answered to the senior admin staff above me and the head staff above them. What they said, goes.

I constantly took counsel of my peers to handle just about any given situation because I always felt more comfortable in making decisions when I had team-backing to make them.

I don't appreciate being accused of being a puppet for doing a job. Your removal from the community was unfortunate but ultimately necessary, I was not the only person that thought this.

Effectively, I just wanted to see if anyone had had a change of heart. I'm not incredibly interested in grovelling or crawling for forgiveness, I know that while I could have acted to avoid punishment, I would have been playing a different game to everyone else. If I'm being perfectly honest I'm not even going to play. I might offer to help out with code in some places though.

Based off of this paragraph alone, what's the cost-benefit of actually unbanning you? The staff team (myself included) gave you multiple chances and avenues to improve before. Only because you ignored them did we at the time start to punish you repeatedly, because it obvious you were incapable of listening to feedback. It's sad that punishing you didn't give you a reality check even then, but that's a common sense issue, and people generally need common sense and respect for the rules to last long in practically any community. We really didn't see any reason to keep you around, so you were removed from being able to play and participate in the community.

I wasn't on 'thin ice', I was being harassed by a player who had it out for me and Schevingen who falsified evidence and used me to score community love points. This was pretty plain to see for everyone, but not one person intervened.

What are you even talking about? You act like this arbiter of truth but you admitted you had no respect for the rules whatsoever. What makes you so valuable and important that you say you didn't deserve a permanent ban from the server?

If the head staff felt I was in the wrong, they would have overruled my decision and you wouldn't be appealing a permanent ban from the server. They have insofar not done so, so it pretty much spells out a very different story as to what they thought about my justification.

During my tenure as a moderator I almost always spoke to a head admin when I gave out a permanent ban to a server regular whether it was really necessary or not. It was a fair check to what power I held to be able to remove someone from the server. I didn't take permabanning players very lightly, I attempted to weigh cost-benefit into every single long-term ban decision I made. I can easily say that I didn't make this decision to permaban you alone.

You were not a friendly individual. You were very accusatory and hostile towards other members of the playerbase and you participated in perpetuating a very toxic atmosphere. I don't care who started it, you kept it going and weren't willing to stop your toxic attitude and also to stop the drama-stirring.

Schev also got other staff involved in the action. Some inferior moderator or something set out to create no less than 4 separate incident reports about my character, two of which I believe were thrown out and two were plainly a set up in which I hadn't even done anything particularly bad.

I didn't realize there was a metric for what constitutes as a superior or inferior moderator. Although I have heard rumors about the staff team being an effective Fourth Reich under Skull132 (wake up, sheeple), I wasn't sure this is what people meant by that, especially since I have no actual idea what you're talking about. You're making shit up to get attention.

IR's were just a way of trying to get at me when the ahelps didn't land or stick. Despite the fact that they were flat out lies, they played a part in the eventual ban. Schev said something like "Why do you have so many IRs?" and I believe I pointed out that every single one was from the same person playing different roles and characters.

I never used the Incident Reports as a basis for your permanent ban. You have zero basis to imply that I did. It's CCIA's job to determine guilt out of IC reports, it was not my job to determine guilt out of them. Never once did I use incident reports as proof you weren't worth keeping around the community, it was your OOC attitude in handling issues and how they poured into IC. You had very little respect for roleplaying guidelines and you have already admitted you had no respect for the OOC rules either. You were a repeat offender, very toxic and unwilling to take personal responsibility for your own actions. Your own ego was, and still is, the defining problem.

I'll admit one thing, I did stop caring about the rules at a point. Why follow them? People would lie about me anyway. I got away with some stuff. Not particularly griefy, but slightly lowrp at times.

"I admit I have no respect for the rules, UNBAN ME BTW."

I honestly don't remember any of these situations. Then again it was almost a year ago that you were permabanned. I will say it's super easy to make up stuff on the spot after a year, but it's also easy to forget things or people that I hadn't even thought about for a year.

It sounds as if you're way too prideful to take personal responsibility for yourself and your actions.

Sorry, but I'm really NOT sorry for how I acted towards the end. I was rude, sure, but only in response to incompetence or downright negligence.

Case in point, really. This is the worst ban appeal I've ever seen drafted. There's only one other person that I believe should be indefinitely kept away from the community for good other than you. That's not an accomplishment.

You are honestly wasting your time making another appeal here because you hadn't learned anything from the last one. Ban appeals are for taking personal responsibility and understanding you did wrong and that you won't make the same mistake again. This is flat out arrogance and lying in a ban appeal to score yourself sympathy.

I don't know where you're from that casting blame on other people to get disciplinary actions lifted off yourself actually works for you. This is some home-grown entitlement.

Permanently banning you from the server is certainly not among the things I regret coming out of the gate with my moderator tenure.

Appeal denied.

Ignoring Sharp's ignorance, let's just point this out...

Schev, honey, you outright admitted that an outside influence had told you how to react to me. You literally said that. There's no point denying it or un-saying that. You consistently lied and I consistently pointed it out. You're seriously not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.

If anyone else thought I should be removed from the community, then they didn't say so to me. The only person that really made their voice clear was you.

A lot of what you say is jargon and nonsense copy pasted from someone else's ban appeals. Insincere, fake, hideously transparent.

Cost investment? >.> Cute Mindset.

More Jargon. Bla bla bla.

Talking about reality checks, bla bla bla... You're clearly one of these random psychotic hater people that I seem to attract yet insist on trying to gaslight me still. Give it up.

You talk a lot of shit about toxicity and hostility yet there's literally not one example of this. Not once did you even remotely refer to this ever. You were the one defending that one metagrudging dude.

I don't lie. Key point throughout this. It's funny... I don't need to lie, because I'm in the right. You do nothing but deflect and ignore and lie! Funny, that. But anyway, I believe it was a trial admin or moderator or some shit. He made 4 IR's under different command characters and they're out there somewhere. I'm not doing your dirty work for you, I've already proven you a liar, I can't be bothered raking year-old shit to do it again.

No idea what you're talking about regarding drama stirring, when I was literally the fucking victim of a hate campaign ran by you, scumbag.

It's funny that you can't remember the situations I brought up, and just glaze over them and accuse me of lying despite you having handled them. Shrug.

You mentioned IR's multiple times. Everyone can see this if they looked for it.

Cute finisher, I'm not here for your dramatics, in reality, I know how pathetic and sad you are.

There are no lies, and I protest arrogance. The fact is, I just simply AM better than you. Lowlife, schev.

Au Revoir.

My point has been made, and it has been proven.

You keep saying you'll leave, so leave.

I'm just going to lock this now. Also applying another forum ban since you were banned on your other account.
