[2019-08-06 15:36:15.501] ADMINPRIVATE: PM: Peoplearestrange/->Talosmiles/: IC in OOC is always a 15 min ban, generally doubles when you ignore it/repeat offend

Ok so not only were you a ghost so why couldn't you have used Dead chat like everyone else? I realise its not the biggest IC in OOC ever, but it still is IC in OOC. The issue here is that you've been repeatedly warned and banned for IC in OOC by different admins and you obviously don't care or seem to have any intention of stopping. IC in OOC has the potential to ruin rounds. Its a really simple thing to follow in not doing it. But you've shown that you can't over and over.
I'd be willing to reduce the ban to a couple of weeks if you can understand why its important to not talking about the round in OOC. If you do IC in OOC again after that though Im reapplying the perma.

As far as I can see you shouldn't be banned from deadchat though?

As far as I can tell, OOC bans also ban from deadchat. It was the same when I banned someone from OOC as well.

Well thats annoying as heck. I wonder if thats something we can get changed on the git?

[peoplearestrange]

If they reply to any of this I'll go ahead and make it a week OOC ban. I think that coming to appeal it at least shows you're understand of what was wrong.
But they need to reply at least...

[Jimmius]

this player is now permabanned, so i don't really think being OOC banned really matters much anymore

[peoplearestrange]

Ha, imagine my surprise! Well I'll go ahead and lock this then.
