ShardMario Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Your Steam Name: ShardMario Your ingame name: ShardMario Your Steam Profile/SteamID: ShardMario Why were you banned?: I'm not sure. I was muted all of a sudden and then the next thing I knew I was banned. I probably did do something though just can't remember Why should you be unbanned?: I will wait to know why I was banned to explain this because at this point I'm really just confused lol Who banned you?

Walter the Assaulter Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 You do know why, though. [sensei] ShardMario-Today at 12:20 AM im ddosing everyong on the server currently so i can raid [sensei] ShardMario-Today at 12:20 AM my ping is 20ms Keeping in mind that this server does not and has not ever accepted "it was a joke" as an excuse and as a veteran of several years you are in full awareness of this policy, could you explain in great detail why you said that?

ShardMario Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 If that's what it was for I really do think the ban is pretty silly..... Yes ddos threats are against the rules but there are a number of reasons why I shouldn't have been banned..... When you said that the server had never been DDoSed before I took it as us being able to talk about it lightly. I never intended for it to be a threat (as it should be obvious that I wasn't ddosing everyone on the server.... and that the server itself was lagging....) Additionally, many other people had been talking about ddosing the server so I didn't think there would be an issue, especially since it wasn't against the discord rules posted in the announcement tabs. Everyone, including sugar, has lightly talked about ddosing the server without it being interpreted as a threat in anyway to the server. I do think I should be unbanned because it wasn't completely serious. Everyone knew, including the other staff members talking in chat at the time, that it wasn't a serious thing. It wouldn't be practical to believe that I was ddosing everyone ON the server when the only thing lagging on their end was GarysMod. Additionally, you yourself have made comments about ddosing people on the server so I think it would be ironic for be to be kept banned. As a senior player I do see why it is wrong for me to make comments like that and I do apologize but I don't think it justifies a ban, seeing as you had already muted me.

Walter the Assaulter Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 "Additionally, many other people had been talking about ddosing the server so I didn't think there would be an issue" Two people, they were also banned. "especially since it wasn't against the discord rules posted in the announcement tabs" Discord Community Guidelines. "Additionally, you yourself have made comments about ddosing people on the server so I think it would be ironic for be to be kept banned. " We don't care if you tell someone you'll knock their smartshoes offline. We care when you literally and directly say "I am taking these people/the server offline" "I don't think it justifies a ban, seeing as you had already muted me." I muted you and asked for advice since I wasn't completely sure. I was told we shouldn't make an exception for you since everyone who makes that comment gets perma slammed. After being able to talk to the rest of the staff about the situation and letting things calm down and hearing your interpretation of the situation, you and another player caught in a similar situation will be unbanned, no blot to your character regarding future situations, and I extend an apology. (The dummy who thought it'd be funny to come onto the server after and say it was him will remain banned, he can make his own ban appeal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
