right off the bat this is just plain not true. the rule was never about you (although you were partly considered when the rule came into effect) and i think it will come clear that i had plenty of reason to ban you besides this.
even if it was about you, what's wrong with that? rules are made when a need for them arises. do you think silicon policy was all made in one day?
Shezza wrote:The ban was made on a flismy reason to begin with, It doesn't take two weeks to apply a ban to someone. Its clear that you wanted to use this rule against me since two weeks ago, I only got banned after a civil argument with hulkamania in particular.
i have wanted to ban you since the second i became a headmin.
talks about this go as far as a month ago (october 30th to be exact), but i'm extremely hesitant to share details since, yknow, headminbus logs.
is there something wrong with that? surely if i believe without a doubt in my mind that the community as a whole is better off without a singular person in it, then until i am given valid proof to suggest otherwise (AND NOT IN THE FORM OF AN UNLOGGED VOICE CHAT, PEANUT GALLERY) i should act on those beliefs, right?
Shezza wrote:Not being a source of a drama but being a target of it shouldn't be something you punish people for, that is a completely insane stance. Just because there are people in the community who try to target me with shit, doesn't mean it is my fault.
i said you MIGHT not be at the source, with the implication being that across multiple instances there are times when you are both at and not at the source, not that you AREN'T. please don't put words into my mouth.
Shezza wrote:The idea that i'm not contributing to the community is completely bogus, you don't need to play the game to be active in the community, community exists outside of the game. Being on discord and actively talking to people is being a part of the community, I am a person people like to talk to, joke with and spend time with. While I realize that there are people that detest me, this is a incredibly absurd reason to ban people for and sets a shitty precedent.
although it's true that you don't need to play the game to contribute to the community, playing the game and actually being ABLE to contribute to the community help your case far more than not being able to.
if you can't play the game, why bother with the discord? surely you can contact the friends you made along the way elsewhere, but otherwise there's really no point in staying around, right?
Shezza wrote:Two weeks ago is coincidentally the time when you closed the complaint on stickymayhem, you surely are joking that you are punishing me for wanting someone who called me a pedophile punished. Why are you punishing me for a complaint that you yourself said was valid?
as i discussed earlier this is exactly that, a coincidence. two weeks ago is just when the ball started rolling.
Shezza wrote:You talk about being a consistent source of drama as being a bad thing, but there are multiple examples of people who have drama around them, namely, cynic, oranges and others. You would not punish them for being a target of a drama, but you did it in my case which is extremely hypocritical.
again, please don't put words into my mouth. i have and likely will again consider punishing certain(not dropping any names fuck you) players and admins alike for being the source of drama. if i can resolve the situation without punishment i almost definitely will. your case was different since it's clear that you weren't going to stop anytime soon, as proven by your multiple other bans.
Shezza wrote:The fact you actively lie in what you said about all headmins agreeing to the ban just makes this even more flimsy. As magikarp has to my knowledge been away for some time now and hulkamania admitted to not being a part of this ban.
like i said earlier, talks about this go back as far as a month ago. i'm still hesitant to reveal anything unless the other headmins want to do it themselves but i can attest that they all agreed to this.
