As for what happened after my ban, the part where I spouted nonsense conspiracy theories, that was one of the biggest mistakes I could have ever made, and I want to try to explain why that happened. As I previously said, I was hopelessly addicted to /TG/, and as shameful as it is, being suddenly cut off from it sent me spiraling big time, to the extent that I hit the lowest point I ever had in my life. And I am truly sorry for spreading nonsense like that in my broken state.
Now for why I believe I should be unbanned. At the time leading up to my ban, I had realized how shitty of a player I used to be, due to the metacommunications and metaganging activities that I had done in the past, and was actively trying to improve, even running for headmin with a platform of cracking down on metagangs to try to stop good players from falling down the same rabbit hole that my ex-friends and I had. After my ban, I seeked help, got new medicine, and started getting my life together, as well as drastically cutting back the time that I've been spending on SS13. I haven't talked to anyone from that friend group in two months, with the exception of one or two people, and have otherwise distanced myself from them. I left that server the day I was banned. Since my ban I have started played on Beestation a little bit, playing for about two rounds a day, and could probably get a reference of good behaviour if needed, but have otherwise spent most of my time playing SS13 on Towelstation, where I will not be getting a reference from due to that being bad form with me being the host of it.
If I get unbanned, I will spend significantly less time on /tg/ to the best of my ability, to avoid a situation like this ever happening again. I truly hope you will give me a second chance and have me back, but if not I understand. Regardless of the outcome, I am sorry to everyone I have let down, and to the people that hoped all the rumours about the stuff with the felinid metagang not being true.
Is the reason/note factually accurate and fair?: Yes
