Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):

I found a bug with a recent update. Use an auto injector it becomes auto injector - Expended. Use the expended auto injector again, it becomes auto injector - Expended - Expended. I expended an auto injector about 3000 times to get an item with an absurdly long name. I walked around and showed it to a few people. (only once each time.) I was warned not to spam chat with it anymore. I begrudgingly accepted. I then went around and dropped it on the ground by a couple people and looc'd to right click me. (if you right click any tile with the object on the screen, it freezes your game). A couple people went SSD for about 30 seconds, and a good lol was had by all. Or so I thought. I was told to drop it. I cried about it in adminhelp and then put it on a table. the round ended and I said "hey ghosts jump to me and right click anywhere on the screen." Probably shouldn't have done that, yeah, but I saw this more as sharing something interesting than trying to commit harm, and the round was over anyway.

rain7x said "I'm going to ban you for an hour, I told you to stop and you kept going" I thought, eh I mean I obeyed his orders but I was being a bit of a prick, an hour time out is fair. So I replied ok, recieved hour ban. I tried to log in just now and saw my ban has been extended to 10 days.

This seems excessive to me, as although I was bug exploiting to mess with people, I stopped spamming chat when I was told to, and I put down the item when I was told to as well. I didn't mess up anyone's round, at most people had to restart their client.

At the very least I'd like an explanation as to why the ban was increased by such a drastic amount.

We were told by Apop to hand out 10-day bans for bug exploits he probably heard that after he gave your ban and extended it.

[Feweh]

100% DENIED.

You seriously found a game-breaking bug, purposely went around maliciously disconnecting players and lagging them out.

[Rain7x]

We were told by Apop to hand out 10-day bans for bug exploits he probably heard that after he gave your ban and extended it.

This, and combined with the fact that you seemed to think it was funny. I banned you for an hour and apop informed us to change it to ten.

[rev_benji]

I do think its funny, I wasn't trying to be malicious. Takes like 1 minute max to restart your client. There was 1 ayy left at the time, I wasn't messing the round up. It felt to me more like a clown slipping someone on a banana peel.

[Warnipple]

While you may think it was funny, you were mass griefing players by disconnecting them with this bug.

Ruining another player's enjoyment of the game is unacceptable and doing it on a massive level is deserving of punishment much harsher. Normally this would result in a perma ban, this is a dev bug so you're lucky you're only getting 10 days.

[apophis775]

I authorized 10 day bans for anyone who intentionally exploited the bug. You knew it was a bug, you knew it caused problems for people. You got a 10-day ban.

At first, we were considering people who abused it after being told to stop would receive a perma. It's disrespectful to other players to do things like that to people.
