Byond account: Drbee
Character name: Melvin Bee
Banning admin: Sweaterkittens
Ban type :pAI, Posibrain, drone, deathsquad, lavaland
Ban reason and length: Metagamed as a Clockwork Marauder, using information that was gained as a ghost to inform the cultist of the status of the security team, their equipment, and the status of their former base.
Time ban was placed: 17:15:31 server time.
Your side of the story: Still a bit unclear about ghost roles. I figured because I was summoned as a servant of a near omnipotent deity I had an IC justification to share the information. I discussed it with sweaterkittens and she explained my mistake. I took her advice and brushed up on the rules, as ghost roles are a new addition since the last time I was really into /tg/station, only to find very little in the rules pertaining to them or to using ghost role knowlege in character. I checked both the rules page as well as the ghost job role page.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Ill eat the ban, feel free to unban be from ghost roles whenever you folks feel it is appropriate. I do however ask that you update the rules page on the wiki to better explain use of ghost knowledge and rules around ghost roles in general. it isnt very well defined on the wiki and is rather confusing as to what can and cannot be acted upon or shared. It was my understanding that metagame knowledge basically boiled down to use of metacomms and doing things such as putting manual valves on atmos with no cause, and if there are other definitions it would be helpful to have them written somewhere.
