[Thunder1345] RussellTalbott - Note Appeal

Post by captain sawrge » #323775

Posting on behalf of RussellTalbott as he is banned by a couple of crybabies that can't handle words on a screen

Byond account and character name: RussellTalbott - Russell Shazbit
Banning admin: Thunder12345
Ban type (What are you banned from?): This is a note appeal.
Ban reason and length:
Image
Time ban was placed (including time zone): Approx 12PM EST, 04/08/2017
Server you were playing when banned (Sybil or Bagil): Bagil
Your side of the story: Russell shot and killed a clown (don't know name or key) because the clown attempted to steal his flightsuit while he had taken it off to heal. The clown presumably ahelped and Thunder12345 warned Russell for this.

Why you think you should be unbanned:
It is not far to punish a player with a warning or otherwise by retaliating when they have what is equivalent to a mech in resource cost and research required stolen from them. The flightsuit requires a large amount of materials and effort in research to produce. The clown was being a dick (rule 1??) in stealing something that valuable and completely deserved what he got.

Thunder's actions only reinforce the mentality that any fight you lose can be extended into an OOC matter. The clown was the guilty one for killbaiting, if anything.

Thankyou.

What is there to explain? Someone tried to grief them by stealing half an hours worth of interdepartmental work and he used the most immediatley available and effective tool he had on hand to stop them.

Can you explain how the server is a better place if you use admin tools to protect griefing?

He had all access, was the captain's special snowflake second in command, and so had plenty access to better ways of dealing with the situation than grabbing the suit and leaving him to die. My problem isn't so much with shooting him as then not doing anything to properly deal with him. The station wasn't such a bad state that there was any reason to treat it as a field execution.

Also, a flightsuit is in no way
Kor wrote:half an hours worth of interdepartmental work
The research database is, sure, but once mining delivers materials and the machines are upgraded, a flightsuit is about two minutes' worth of printing off the pieces, slapping stock parts in the backpack, putting all the pieces together and you're done.

If it's so easy to make them then why is this 3 hour long round one of the very very few where I actually saw one
Flightsuits are items of very high value. I don't think you understand how fast they are.
It's unreasonable to say that he should have somehow foreseen this situation happening and had something ready for it. That's ridiculous, Thunder.
He used the first thing he grabbed because he literally had a 1 second or so of a window to make a decision

And you don't see them often because it takes significant effort to get the tech levels to unlock them. Once they're there it doesn't take that much effort to build an individual suit.

It is a rare, hard to obtain item in a broad sense. You are playing semantics here.

The guy that was enough of an asshole to steal the suit deserves to get killed for it, did not deserve to be healed, and did not deserve admin intervention in the matter.
If he was willing to adminhelp losing a fight he I would expect he is also not the type to de-escalate or lose gracefully in general.

So your arguing what kind of large amount of effort it takes to make a flight suit?

Why is it a civillian players responsibility to coddle someone who is seeking to ruin their enjoyment and ensure they get to keep playing and harassing them?

Why is the burden on the victim?

>a flightsuit isnt much work if you arbitrarily discount the work that goes into it

One time work to unlock flightsuits is not the same as repeatable work to just go get a new one.

It still costs more than a mech. It still takes more time and resources than it does to undo a death which we police all the time.

And you keep ignoring the questions of intent and why you think that between

Player A, stealing expensive things from player B unprovoked then crying in adminhelp when stopped

and

Player B, playing the game peacefully until they defend themselves froma rulebreaking agressor


Player A is the playstyle you condone and protect

This is why we shouldn't let brits become admins they think self defense is illegal and immoral

I've seen people not get bwoinked for killing people over much less. I've ahelped about people killing me as non-antag for much less and not gotten anywhere with it.

I agree that the grenade launcher may have been a bit much, but why are we arguing whether or not the clown should have been robusted?

All that having been said, we're not talking about a ban, it's a note about behavior. I completely support the note staying if it's modified to ask the player not to make an immediate escalation to execution using a weapon that could early cause collateral damage, but I see nothing wrong with the fact that the player reacted, just the degree to which they reacted.

Further and again, this is a note, not a ban. Instead of aiming firmly at DINDU NUFFIN vs. YESUDID let's make the note indicate the specific misstep: blowing someone up when you could have just shot or otherwise robusted them. Yes, that's what the note already says, but the way it's currently worded gives rise to an argument which isn't actually about the problem.

Notes are often treated as the equivalent of bans when determining future ban lengths. If I could choose between a short ban without a note or getting a warning note I'd go for the short ban every time.

When all you have is a grenade launcher and what they have is a supersuit that can literally instantly fly 2 or 3 screens away from you, "otherwise robusting" them isn't really an option because they'll just disappear.

In any other situation I might agree with you, but the flightsuit makes this one unique.

also perhaps we should try to make it seem like it's not okay for people to initiate an engagement with another player, lose, and then make it an OOC problem to retaliate at them

My only real problems with the scenario described are:

1) grenades can easily cause collateral damage
2) if the body was gibbed without leaving a brain then that's way more severe than just killing them, but I don't know if that happened or not
3) the clown was pretty shit to ahelp just because they got dunked for trying to steal an item, so if I'd been there and felt the issue deserved a note for the killer, you're right that I probably would have noted the complainant too for instigating the encounter

That having been said, personally, if I see a note like this I'll take it into account when seeing the behavior again and determining if it's a system of behavior, but if I see a prior ban for the behavior I'm going to be a lot harsher about it because I'm going to assume they didn't care that they were already punished for it the first time (assuming identical circumstances and nothing to mitigate them).

What I'm defending here is placing notes about behavior when that behavior may be relevant in the future. If I'd seen this and no one else got hurt I probably wouldn't have noted anyone, but if there's an issue here, let's focus on that specific issue on the text of the note instead of making it seem like it's irrational to dunk someone that deserved to get dunked.

I just don't think a player who is forced into a dumb situation through no fault of their own and defends themselves from grief should then be viewed through a negative lens and added suspicion the next time someone griefs and defends themselves two hundred rounds later.

It's possible you use notes differently than I'm imagining but some admins treat notes pretty harshly (like this guy getting a double ban length because he was warned three years and one thousand connections ago for similar behavior)

Image

Erring on the side of placing notes isn't really fair as long as some portion of the admin team treats them as something so damning.

Also again I think intent is more important than exactly following a hidden escalation formula and one player intended to peacefully so their job and another player intended to make them upset and we shouldnt promote the latter playstyle. All the rest is extra detail.

Bans create notes. The note you just posted is the result of a ban.

Using a note from three years ago is a bit much in my opinion, but I have no control over other admins.

If I see something I think violates the rules or pushes close to violating the rules, I'm going to note it.

If another admin then uses that "incorrectly" I expect that to be handled through a complaint or appeal. It doesn't change the fact that the behavior took place.

I place notes on people who set off bombs because they're being attacked, too, because of the risk that collateral damage presents. Grenades are less severe than that, but the principle is the same and what I'm saying is that if the administrator in question felt that it was relevant that they used that weapon instead of another then we should adjust the note to make it clear that that's the issue.

If you want to remove the note entirely then I feel like you need to definitively demonstrate that it didn't violate the rules to fire a collateral damage-causing weapon at someone stealing an object the player in question had set down.

At the end of the day, I would have done probably exactly the same as Russell did in this situation

and feem, they were completely alone in arrivals with only the clown so I don't think "collateral" factors in here

If there was no one else around and arrivals wasn't really damaged then I don't see many problems here with the player's behavior. If the clown picked the suit up off the ground then the player was pretty stupid for setting it down and maybe shouldn't gib the clown if there's another option. If there's not, well, okay, but obviously thunder feels there was.

If the clown disarmed the player then obviously they should be dunked.

I wasn't there, and there are still unexplained parts of this.

I think the burden should be on an admin to prove maliciousness or completley gross negligence and to furthermore prove their actions are improving the server by protecting the clown.

Guilty until proven innocent is backwards.

Also, again, extra details, but the 40mm is the equivalent of a welding tank if not weaker, scorched floor tiles on SS13 should not warrant admin involvement.

This microanalysis of what someone did in the spur of the moment in a videogame to protect themselves from a rulebreaker is just silly

The rulebreaker was compensated by admins and the victim was put on notice to be watched for rulebreaking

Holding a player responsible for their own actions isn't protecting the clown. If it was me and I felt that the player required a note, I would definitely noted the clown too.

I suppose it was my mistake to come in and defend procedure, but what I'm trying to do is address the very personal-sounding "admins doing their job is bad" arguments here.

Most of what I've said has had the disclaimer of "if this then that" and "if it was me," and I'm not trying to say that the admin in question is infallible. But the defining assumption of several participants in this conversation has been to assume that there were no circumstances in which this note should ever have been placed, and that's simply not true. So while you're right that the admin in question should demonstrate that those circumstances were present, what I'm trying to say is that if you want to definitively and objectively remove it with no question then you're going to have to demonstrate that there was a mistake.

By reviving the clown and punishing the player who was being robbed they are absolutely protecting them in this instance, and as a long term trend the clown and other line toeing players like him are being protected by a very clear warning not to respond too harshly to attacks from them.

I'd missed that the clown was revived until I just re-read the thread because nobody referenced it except sarge, offhandedly, by saying the clown "did not deserve to be healed."

The only other possible reference that I see to this is Kor's regarding admin tools, but when I first read that I must have misunderstood it to mean the notes panel as being revived wasn't actually mentioned in the thread.

Did y'all prepare this appeal together or something? There's a lot that you seem to know that isn't in the thread or notes.

I actually saw the kill happen in passing as I was flying around the map idly
I passed it over because from what I could see, it looked like a very reasonable occurrence

It's fair to say that maybe things should have been made clearer earlier in the thread.

At this point I think we'd just going to have to wait for a headmin. Also, do note that I said earlier my main problem is not with the immediate shooting, but more with leaving him to die afterwards. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to drag him to medbay, get him healed and throw him in the brig for his crimes.

Also, do note that I said earlier my main problem is not with the immediate shooting, but more with leaving him to die afterwards. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to drag him to medbay, get him healed and throw him in the brig for his crimes.
What is the difference between leaving his body alone in a fairly public and trafficked spot or going through the trouble of cloning him just to detain and brig him again? If anything leaving the corpse at least gives him the chance someone else clones him and he doenst spend the rest of the round in the brig.

I wouldn't have cloned him. Fuck anyone that pulls this shit, but anyone that does this and then ahelps definitely wouldn't be a graceful loser given a second chance via cloning/healing.

Why is the burden of punishment being put into someone who's not sec?

Why should you, if in the process of being griffed, not be able to defend yourself unless you can procure a basically highly secured form of non lethal restraining method?

This is probably the most ironic part. The same people who cried out for coders to remove civilian stuns to cut down on "validhunting" are now upset that players are using lethals instead.

Can you explain how the server is a better place if you use admin tools to protect griefing?
Well usually if you tear a hole in the station for a single individual as nonantag then it's kinda poor form which thunder may have been trying to articulate though the note. perhaps the note could be worded a bit differently to better reflect thunder's gripe if that was the case.

I apologize if my quote came off as snarky or something, your post is coming off as a snarky remark because I dared to try to understand the problem instead of just hopping on the bandwagon.

It's possible you use notes differently than I'm imagining but some admins treat notes pretty harshly (like this guy getting a double ban length because he was warned three years and one thousand connections ago for similar behavior)

Image

Erring on the side of placing notes isn't really fair as long as some portion of the admin team treats them as something so damning.
This is both irrelevant (these are the notes of arnes111, not the OP) and a totally different situation. If you get banned for IC in OOC in 2013 then you sure as hell have had ample time to learn not to do it. There is no IC context to take into account, no escalation or retaliation or "forced into a dumb situation" or "grief." You learn not to do it, and then you don't do it. If you still do it, then your 15-minute ban doubles in what is generally accepted precedent for IC in OOC bans. Using IC in OOC as evidence of anything to do with arguably IC situations like this is completely on-its-face asinine and the only explanation I can think of for why it is even posted here is that I placed the ban.

tl;dr: I know you think I'm a shitty admin and will take any opportunity to single me out and say so, but please do not drag it into unrelated threads.

>spending literal years following the rules in a videogame showing good behavior is not a mitigating factor but rather a further mark against a player because it shows they know better

Deranged

And I posted it because it was a relevant example of how notes can snowball and haunt someone for years, and I remembered it because I was online at the time and discussed it with MSO, get over yourself

What kind of insane logic is it that a player who has followed the rules for a long time should have that used against them
are you joking

This is really better suited to Policy Discussion, but "notes counting against someone" is bad when the notes are inaccurate and/or based on subjective judgment calls, both of which arguably apply to the OP and are why the OP exists in the first place. The clown thing is a pretty clear example of giving people harsher punishment based on fuzzy one-line little-context summaries of in-game situations that ultimately are the admin's judgment call.

IC in OOC is not a judgment call. (I'm going to assume it was an accurate ban since I don't remember the details of every instance of ick ock that happens.) It is one of the most black-and-white, objective rules we've got. You either do it or you don't, and once you learn the lesson not to do it, it is a reasonable expectation that you never do it again. So yes, in that case, it is fair for your notes to count against you. The same goes for any of our black-and-white rules, like rape. If you get permabanned for raping someone in 2013, spend four years not raping anybody, then rape someone again in 2017, then no, your four years of not raping anybody don't make it any better. Again, this has been note appeal policy basically since the beginning:
Basically if your note wasn't the result of an accident or a mistake, it's not going to be removed. ... While you may have been pardoned for the ban these kinds of things stay in your notes so we know if it happens again in the future that it isn't the first time. It will be that much harder to apologize for and claim it was a mistake or lapse in judgement the next time it happens. That's intentional. Just because you admitted you were wrong and got off the ban doesn't mean we expunge things from your record.

FWIW I think you have a point but when the note itself points to the reason being the 3 year old note can you really blame people for interpreting it the way kor posted about it
