[HG] Dante Smith Redux: The Final Freeening
Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2016 12:19 am
Allow me to preface this appeal with this: My first appeal found here was publicly denied so I could play on an alternate key and avoid the negative reputation associated with Zaross, since that was the only real issue the previous headmins had.
After some discussion in headminbus(whilist I was appealing) it was decided to just let the thread play out, I'd be unbanned and not allowed to play as Dante/on the Zaross key or mention who I was. Basically this.
Then, after some more talks/pms I guess at some point it was also going to be secret from the admins, though that was dismissed by Kor who said that'd just be stupid since admins would find me and think I was ban evading.
And then some more ???shit??? happens? I think at one point I had to PM someone the new key I was using for reasons. There was a lot of miscommunication at this point and I guess Shaps' had changed his ??mind??. I hopped onto the IRC and asked him about it and he said what basically said "Yeah you're totally right, people are just mad at nothing, but since you're a community figure it's bad??" then after we had come to an agreement and left I was PM'd by another headmin that instead of being unbanned I was given Headmin Sanction™ to ban evade.
So during this time I was playing as Lynsey Baker on the key Always Bet Rare Akuma. Though according to Kor after a few days of me playing I got takysbacksied by Shaps without actually being told about it so I guess I got bussed fucking hard.
Now, after a discussion with a new headmin, they've expressed that they'd like for me to appeal formally/again so here it is.

Byond account and character name: Zaross / Dante Smith
Banning admin: Hornygranny
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Permaserver ban. I do believe I was also banned from various antag roles.
Ban reason and length: Rule 0. Permanent
Time ban was placed (including time zone): I wouldn't have a clue.
Your side of the story: I think Krusvik wants me to appeal both the rule 0 ban and the away mission thing so:
I've forgotten most of the details of the round but the away mission round went something like: I got lucky with one of the away missions rolls that spawned you in as a wizard defender. I killed a man, soulstoned him and then polymorphed his shade into a mediborg, then ordered him to remove the exile implant in me so I could leave the away mission. (Since I had already killed everyone invading anyway)
Then, I was banned for a week, banned from various antagonist roles then rule 0'd by HG.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I had gotten admin permission and encouragement to do the implant thing beforehand. I abused no bugs, exploits or anything of the sort. I had purged everyone that was invading before I left etc etc. There was no basis or policy against it. The ban was shit in every way it could be shit.
On the rule zero: That round was the only even "questionable" round I had since I got back in the 9~ or so months of playing.
The issue is probably that I cultivated the "negative" reputation I have in OOC channels, and despite there being a complete divide in how I actually play and my reputation, I was banned purely on reputation alone, which suddenly becomes a non-issue when I'm not on the Zaross key.
