[Arianya] Virome1488 - "ban evasion" last year
Posted: Wed Jun 24, 2020 3:44 pm
BYOND account: Virome1488
Character name: I don't remember.
Ban type: Global
Ban length: Permanent
Ban reason: I was banned for ban evasion by Nervere but I have no idea what the exact message was. I know for a fact I am meant to be banned but, at the moment, I'm still able to play for some reason and thus cannot provide all of the details about my ban.
Time ban was placed: I don't know yet.
Server you were playing on when banned: Terry
Round ID in which ban was placed: I don't know yet.
Your side of the story: About May/Junish 2019 I was just getting into Space Station 13 (although I think a played a little late 2018, too) and I played mainly on Terry. I was a complete shitter to begin with and at one point I got permanently job banned from Chemist for injecting random people with Krokodil. A few weeks, I was so ashamed of how I acted on that account that I made a new one. I did nothing to actively hide my identity from staff and I just presumed the note/job ban would naturally carry over to the other account. It didn't and I was banned for "ban evasion" - which I think was misleading, as the only thing I was actively banned from was the Chemist job, and I didn't touch that job anyway. In hindsight I think I could have appealed this ban quite easily, as it was totally needless and I really didn't violate any rules; I could have just spoke to a staff member about getting my stuff transferred from one account to the other and that would have been it.
Regardless, I found all of this extremely embarrassing and I've been under the impression that evasion bans pretty much amount to getting totally blackballed from the community. So I figured there was no chance of me getting legitimately unbanned, and I quit SS13 altogether (TG was really the only codebase/community I cared about). This was until like a month ago when I developed an interest in Byond again and, figuring I could just make myself a fresh start on TG, I started ban evading just to play. The two weeks I got on the server were pretty much without incident as all I did was observe better players and occasionally play miner, but I understandably got banned as soon as it was worked out who I am.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I understand that I've made my situation infinitely worse by ACTUALLY evading a ban which, ironically, was for an instance of ban evasion which I didn't actually do. On one hand, my intent was never ill; I originally just wanted to get away from an account which I felt was tainted by a bad reputation, and since then I just took what I thought was the only option to play here after being (putatively) blacklisted from the community. I was never a malicious person. I've never griefed, and the two or so weeks I played here recently were without incident.
