Xeno round start Job Ban.

[JDresdin]

Your Byond ID: JDresdin

Character Name: Dresdin Farsyde

Type Of Ban (Job-ban (include the job), Timed Ban, Permaban): Xeno round start jobban

Admin who banned you (if known): Unknown

What other servers do you play on?: None

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): I was informed it was due to LRP after Ahelping ingame.

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):

After missing round start Xeno dozens of times, I finally asked an admin if I had been banned or what was going on. Apparently I've been Jobbanned from Xeno for LRP? The only thing I can think of, is a long while back right at the start of the xeno RP crackdown (this was before Queen Ovi update if I remember correctly), I was temporarily banned for a couple hours for saying "Ree and Ayy" as Queen.

The temp ban was sudden and without any explanation, so I made a (mildly salty) staff report over what I thought at the time was poor implementation of the policy (no communication first), Admins disagreed and Feweh assumed I was trying to bypass ban appeal, increased my ban to 24hours (I was not trying to bypass anything as it was only originally a 3hr ban, and the round was already ruined for me). I was never informed I would be permanently round start jobbanned as well. In the countless rounds since the temp ban where I've played xeno, I have made efforts to never say "Ayy" or "Ree" or other lazy memes again as Xeno, and to try and remain Medium RP as much as possible (I have also not played as Queen since). I'd like to be able to start beginning rounds as Xeno again, instead of having to constantly go into Cryo, and would continue to follow the RP rules more closely.

My old staff report

I understand I was in the wrong and I accepted my punishment, but have only now become aware the ban extended to a permanent jobban. I do believe I've 'served my time', unless this ban is due to a seperate issue I'm unaware of.

Reported to have ran over a nested tall host, however no real proof could be made. Player reported that the only marine ran over was dead already. Was told by the Queen not to run around by the tall host but did not listen. Overall, should be noted for refusal to listen to the Queen as well as well as keeping any eye for any future problems of this nature. by on Fri, June 2nd of 2017

So according to your notes, you're ban should have expired but I'll do some deeper digging to find out why this is still in effect. I'd be fine with lifting this assuming everything comes back ok.

I’m ok with this job ban being lifted as it was almost a year ago and you haven’t had any recent notes.

[JDresdin]

Really appreciate the quick responses, considering all the other appeals and that this is a minor issue. I am a bit confused over why I would have a note for saying the word 'Memes', as it seems to be a concept Xenos would be aware of (I probably caused marines to FF themselves or was showboating for ghosts/something equally silly), but I'll add that to my list of forbidden words as well.

[Mizari]

Ok so yeah, your last notes were last year, I'd be fine with you getting this ban removed. +1 from me.

[Solarmare]

This ban doesn't seem to exist? If you can late join as a larva you aren't banned from it, and your player account doesn't seem to have it. No note on xeno specific job ban as well.

[x31stOverlord]

Agreed, completely fine with this being lifted. +1

This is confusing to me as well, and why this appeal is so delayed.

I ahelped ingame after noticing it had been months since I'd been able to start a round as xeno, even on low pop (I had chalked it up to new xeno update bringing in many new xeno players and just being unlucky). I was informed through Ahelping that I had a xeno ban and to appeal. Is it not possible to be jobbanned from the start of round, but still be able to join later?

Edit: Just to clarify, my problem is only beginning rounds as xeno (I have triple checked my round start preferences, even with everything but xeno turned to off, I still spawn as marine). I am still able to get in through the random larva spawn through hosts with preferences on. It does suck though, as I like to play Rav, and I always miss being in the first wave (and might like to try my hand at being Queen again sometime).

[freemysoul]

Resolved (Sort of), Player is NOT banned from Xenomorph or Queen, Appeal will return open for the next 2 days to ensure the player has been fixed by my method, If this has failed it may require nuking their character sheet file.

[JDresdin]

Was just able to start a round as Xeno, much thanks! (especially to freemysoul).

[freemysoul]

No problem, Appeal(?) resolved and locked, Fix seems to have worked.
