Ban Appeal

Post by skb » 01 Nov 2017, 14:29

Your Byond ID: skb

Character Name: Not too sure, used randomly generated name.

Type Of Ban (Job-ban, Timed Ban, Permaban): Seems to be a Permaban

Admin who banned you (if known): host

Total Ban Duration: Unknown

Remaining Duration: Unknown

What other servers do you play on? Paradise Station

Are you now or have you been banned on any of them? Yes, I was banned for arguing with admins. That has been resolved for some time now, and I was unbanned.

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): C11JUN17 - Multikeying, griefing

Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable): n/a

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc): I'm not sure why I was banned. I use a VPN, and do have another ckey, dkb, which I use when I launch private servers to multibox, and test. I did commit suicide in game since the medical staff didn't fix me up right, and I needed to log. Was this perhaps why I was banned?

Cheers.

Maybe you should read the rules and you'll find out why you were banned.

I did break this rule. I had no idea it was a rule. I've updated myself with the rules, and hopefully will not risk another ban in the future. I understand if you wish to make this a standing decision, and will followup in the future (next month) when I'm able to appeal based on the appeal guidelines.
#11: Suicide, rage-quitting, and Logging off - If you need to leave or logout after the round starts for any reason, go to Cryo. If you are unable to get to cryo, Alert Staff. If you just Ghost or log-out, you risk a job-ban. If you instead suicide or immediately ghost without first getting into a cryo tube near round-start (meaning you simply didn't want to play the role and took the job slot from someone who did), you may receive a job-ban. Set up your job preferences carefully in Setup Character > Occupation Choices. Also note, your best chance at being a Xeno is to set all job preferences to "NEVER", and at the bottom, click the link until it says "Return to lobby if preference unavailable".

I was still a new player, and my buddy told me that they knew that specific player was metagaming. I apparently was trolled, and my friend got a good laugh when I was banned.

Clearly you haven't.

Try reading them again.

Hmm, I'm wondering if this is related to multikeying? I know this is not acceptable, and if someone thinks I did that, I would add to my appeal I did not do this. Honestly besides the suicide thing, I thought the multikeying thing on the ban note was a mistake, unless someone is using the same VPN & location I was using (Dallas, TX VPN IP through Avira Phantom VPN).

Denied.

Rule 0.3 VPN and Proxies are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. If discovered, they will be blocked (along with the associated IP range). This may result in your home IP being blocked from the server if it's linked to a VPN or proxy during the investigation

You got caught in one of the VPN bans. Probably shouldn't be using one since we don't allow it.
