Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2019 6:25 pm
Byond account and character name: Griffin DeLuna as Rain Cavalet/Macie Vader
Banning admin: NecromancerAnne
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Permabanned from station
Ban reason and length: "You, or another user of this computer or connection (GoblinKing00015) is banned from playing here. The ban reason is: Was in metacommunications with MiniNinja68, using a fresh account and likely has more experience than indicated, or at the very least has been previously informed about the rules about metacommunications. Their other account is GoblinKing15. If it isn't them, then they are a much older account Griffindeluna or their accomplice is this account. This ban (BanID #40233) was applied by NecromancerAnne on 2019-06-13 12:35:15 during round ID 110491. This is a permanent ban."
Time ban was placed (including time zone): 5:20 Mountain Standard Time
Server you were playing when banned (Sybil or Bagil): Neither, I wasn't playing.
Your side of the story: I had woken up this morning for an early turn-around shift at my job to find that my younger cousin, who is currently at my house and on my network, has introduced my younger sister, who is also at my house and also on my network, to TGStation. Thinking nothing of it, I continued getting ready for work, only to find that as I was leaving my house a permanent ban was put on my account, my sister's account (MiniNinja68), and my cousin's account (GoblinKing00015, previously GoblinKing15, which they had lost access to). According to the ban, it is listed as having me used an alternate account to metacommunicate with either of these two as one of their accounts during a round of station. After they had frantically told me that they've been banned, they explained to me that it was sudden, with little warning, and permanent. Before my shift started, I had gone on discord to talk to Anne about it, only to be met with a curt answer after being told that they could not discuss the ban, which, while I find it to be a little annoying, I can understand. I'm a long time player and advocate of station who's played for more than a few years now without any issue regarding the rules or administration and believe that this action is not only unfair, but completely unfounded and unjustified. While I do not have access to the logs or any conversations had between Anne and either of my two family members, as I was not online, according to them there was little in the way of discussion leading up to the ban between them and Anne. I am more than aware of the rules surrounding the station and am offended that the admin responsible couldn't give me the common courtesy of talking to me before banning all accounts, especially under false pretense and considering that my cousin is completely new in terms of game time as well as this being the first time my sister picked up the game. I'm not some greytider who decided to go on a station-wide rampage in blatant disregard of server rules or in disrespect of the administrative staff; I am a frequent player that enjoys spending their time on this wacky game of ours and am someone who has developed a growing friendship with many people on the station throughout the years of my playing.
Why you think you should be unbanned: The accusations stated are unfounded and false, with the actions taken being not only done without clear, due process, but also being a clear insult to my character as a member of the TG Community.
