TempBan after ChemSprayer Use on Alien

Remaining Duration:
(11.1hr or so)
What other servers do you play on?
N/a
Are you now or have you been banned on any of them?
N/a
Reason for ban (If you have a Permaban, it should be the EXACT MESSAGE YOU GET WHEN YOU LOGIN with the Error code that looks like this: X##XXX##. If you do not provide this EXACTLY you can't be unbanned):
"Used Acid to crit a queen,bug abuse?"
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable):

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):
Banned after playing researcher and filling a chem sprayer with Polytrinitic acid and aiding in the defense of the Sulaco Hangar. Killed the Queen ,whom had crash landed the shuttle into the hangar, by emptying said chem sprayer onto 'her' while being supported by PC Grant 'Scrub' Mitchell. Prior to that, a fellow researcher/doctor (Alexeiy Wolf) filled a second chem sprayer and killed a Mature Runner (Mature Runner 112) with said chem sprayer.
After reviewing the rules, to make sure I didn't miss anything, nowhere does it inform researchers that Aliens are 'not meant' to take chem damage (even though they do) and using chems against them is power gaming/bug abuse resulting in a ban. Given the events prior for my character, I also feel as though I was within the RP lines for coming to the conclusion that "Hey this acid could be used to kill aliens".
Before I continue, is this listed anywhere? I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about it.

Mod MauroVega didn't really explain or give any time for deliberation, just an immediate temp ban after saying "Yea, thats technically bug abuse since xenos shouldn't take chem damage" to which I replied in the heat of passion "Thats total BS, Poly Trinitic is supposed to melt EVERYTHING" (It wasn't listed in the rules, and isn't a directly known "bug" aliens just haven't been "set up" for it, which isn't something I have control of).

If you want this RP'd properly and not abused, then its gotta be listed on the main rule page, on busier rounds I've handed out polytrinitic smoke grenades without any PMs. (might be due to them never being used, but that's neither here nor there)

I'll serve the temp ban if I can't get it appealed, but on behalf of other persons who play researcher, in the future they need to know that this is a rule. Nobody likes being punished or banned because a game mechanic hasn't been setup properly (of which they have no control over).

If this needs more information, please let me know.

Your notes are all minor incidents and I wouldn't have been against this being lifted as the punishment seems over the top for the incident with no prior warnings. However please take note of rule 3 of this subforum. This would serve better as a staff complaint, as no doubt by the time this appeal is processed your ban will have expired.
