Detailed summary: Heya, this is rather not a complaint but a questions that confuses me.
In a recent event, we had one quality control ban that I worried about. If I remember correctly, the main goal of any temporary/permament/Quality Control bans is not only to punish people for their behavior but also to let them work over it.
So, what Im talking about? Im talking about Sk1wass3r QC ban.
In that thread Sk1wass3r, with the current ban reason,
explains that they want to discuss it as the main goal:Quality Control - Has demonstrated over the course of their time here that they're not here to play well with either fellow players, or staff members. By accounts of several members of the team who have watched his playstyle on the server, as well as his actions taken to maliciously antagonize staff members without provocation, we don't feel like you're here in good faith. This QC ban was placed with unanimous headmin support, so an appeal is not recommended this term unless you have sizable reasoning to provide that you've changed.
And after a couple of time they get this answer from TheBibleMelts:My main reasoning for this appeal is that I want to discuss; TheBibleMelts joined the server and messaged me about the QC ban but then banned me without responding to my messages.
First of all, I want to ask what behavior in my playstyle is meant in the ban? how have I demonstrated I don't play well with other players? whats meant by "actions taken to maliciously antagonize staff"? the ban reason doesn't really explain to me what I did wrong so if anything I just want to clear up the reasoning and how I can improve.
After a few hours, that topic was closed.hey, sorry for the late reply. it's been a busy couple of days. your unprompted antagonism toward staff, as well as general quality of play on the servers have led us here - you've racked up about 9 OOC in IC notes in the past few months, on top of other bans and notes that displayed disregard for the people you share this server with, and seemed to have had no indication of wanting to change your playstyle to be more in line with the minimum that is enforced for our sybil/basil/terry servers. this QC ban was discussed for a while, and opinions were gathered from administrators who have spent many rounds with you first-hand, and we ultimately came to a 3/3 vote as a result of it.
i'm sorry you feel this is out of the blue, and i thank you dearly for your contributions to my love of our TTS system, but you were given more than enough time and chances to improve over the last few months and simply did not take it. we're denying this appeal.
The main questions that I worry about is:
- Why the thread was closed without giving them a chance to respond?
- Is "your unprompted antagonism toward staff" an answer to "his actions taken to maliciously antagonize staff members without provocation" with a full description of their actions?
- How was Sk1wass3r supposed to start working on his behavior before his permaban when the major indication of his misbehavior was 2 weeks ago (from the moment when appeal topic was created), but quality control ban scales up to couple of months?
