Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2023 8:21 pm
BYOND account: Alexeivichi
Character name: Aleksey Kinovichi
Ban type: Blacklist: Discord + Server + Community
Ban length: Permanent
Ban reason: Included in the blacklisting of Chaznoodles for encouraging of a doxing, according to MrStonedOne himself.
Time ban was placed: 29th November, 2022, approx 16:00 EST.
Server you were playing on when banned: N/A - Issue occurred on TerraGov Marine Corps's discord server.
Round ID in which ban was placed: N/A
Your side of the story: A TL;DR is included below. Okay, starting off - I'm aware that blacklists of this nature is unappealable, and I'm aware many have tried and failed. Despite wanting to do this for a long time, I was unsure of how to proceed, and was discouraged from this happening in the first place. However many of the TGMC's administration reached out to me to query what had happened, and many of them have stated that the blacklisting was done unfairly, and encouraged me to follow up on appealing. Under the advice of a few, including a Head Administrator at the time, I waited a few months before writing this.
During the incident, I was sick for a week, so I decided to get up and talk with the community of TGMC in the general chat. I joined in on the random topics, until I saw someone who had previously tried to warn me to be careful of a certain person who hosts a certain notorious server (Figure it out) who was named after a very troubling political figure. In my sickly fever-induced stupor, I made the mental link in my mind that said host was actually said political figure (note the political figure is long dead), and for some reason attributed it to a notorious doxing forums (Figure it out again) and stated that to the person who had warned me of it. Chaznoodle (God bless his soul) saw this and joined in on the conversation, and later posted links to the site linking to a piece of information on the previously mentioned site.
Due to being sick, it didn't hit me that the site was what it is and I in my bullshittery ways not to look like a moron said "Yeah that's it!" despite... The site/forum had nothing that I had said and instead touched on other things the person had done. The thing that sealed the blacklist for us was when he mentioned the person we were talking about was not as bad as Person B - as I'll refer to them - and then when I asked who that was, they proceeded to find Person B's full details on the site, without realising it's their full details/dox as Chaznoodles only did google searches using the name and forum name. Regarding me talking about Person B, I grabbed only their ckey/online pseudonym and checked the images tab for which lead me to their public social medic... Via their ckey ( I understand why their social media names are the same as their ckey/pseudonym, it's essentially for their online presence to be easily traceable with most the time the intent of creating an online following.)
After that, the rest is history. Chaznoodles was completely community blacklisted and I was blacklisted from TG to my knowledge, and the head administrators at the time fought to keep me in TGMC although my admin status was revoked after approximately a year as administrator. Do note, neither of us checked the details on what was posted until it was raised as an issue, personally speaking I was too sick to effectively do my duties as an administrator at time and review content posted, I can't speak for Chaznoodles but I believe he was being helpful instead of malicious as that's generally his track record.
TL;DR: I woke up sick, talked about a controversial person being ousted by a group/site/forum (they did but in a completely unrelated way), fellow admin posted links to it and I was stupidly encouraged it without realizing what was exactly being encouraged, or not even processing I was encouraging it. We were axed from the community in general, other admin completely, me mostly from TG.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I have no malicious intent except for certain servers to promote illegal activity or hedonistic indulgence, I haven't been banned anywhere else and my only Centcom records are two joke bans that were seconds in length. I've done generally nothing but try to give back to the community of TGMC as they've been my mainstay of entertainment for well over two years, even participating in the 2021 Toolbox Tourny to represent them.
I've spoken to other admins, even former headmins of TGMC who reached out to me first and they generally stated "a hammer was used instead of a scapel where it was needed" repeatedly Many people believe my blacklisting is unfair, so hence why I'm making this appeal.
References of good conduct: TerraGov Marine Corps (TGMC) is my mainstay. I've got well over 2,000 hours in and I'm a known community member as well as a former administrator. You can query with any of the staff and some of the former staff as a lot of them stated they are willing to vouch for me in this situation.
Anything else we should know: On a serious note, as a former victim of attempted doxing, I don't support or indulge or condone it. I do condemn it heavily since it's personally the reason why I hide behind a VPN 24/7. A screenshot was sent to me by MSO regarding the incident. If any of the TG-staff involved in the thread needs it, please let me know as I can edit it to omit anything that needs omission to avoid informing people where to go to find personal things, and post it for clarity's sake. Honestly wish I wasn't sick back then so the incident could be avoided, or wish I had just stayed in bed.
