Discord ID: The Maggot Guy#3950

Admin Discord ID: bloons3#2199, Kerbin Fiber#5439, bloons3#2199, Crossedfall#1001, Ruko#7940, Crossedfall#1001, and Ruko#7940 respectively. (Relevant pings at bottom)

Ban Type: Warnings

Ban Length: Indefinite

Ban Dates: 1st: 8/31/2020. 2nd: 9/01/2020. 3rd: 9/13/2020. 4th: 9/30/2020. 5th: 11/02/2020 6th: Thanksgiving 2020, which was on the 26th that year. Actual warn note is from 11/27/2020. 7th: 12/16/2020.

More info for the first two can be found here, but the beecord doesn’t index/go back far enough for me to see #general to read what actually happened and I barely remember them if at all.

Warn Reason for #1: Don’t harass other players

Appeal Reason for #1: Looks like I was mocking the pubby shuttle incident? Maybe? Not sure. Whatever it was, I don’t mock people any more, and bringing up old drama to make fun was a bad move. It happened two years ago, and I don’t mess with people even to the level of light joking (e.g. “Eww bri ish”) nowadays, so rest assured it won’t happen again.
+

Warn Reason for #2: Don’t ping adminhelp for useless stuff like just saying “Sex” again.

Appeal Reason for #2: Looks like people were talking about erp station mechanics? I probably wouldn’t ahelp about that anymore (I generally just let people be nowadays, there’s more important things to worry about, and alongside that, so many more people around who can just as easily report it instead of me), but yeah, looks like I pinged way too many times, and with very little actual info about what was going on. Sorry about that. The only pinging I do nowadays is when I use the reply feature they added to discord.
+

Warn Reason for #3: stop pinging people for no reason. 24 hours

Appeal Reason for #3: I have no memory of this event, since it was two years ago, but I promise won’t do it again.
+

Warn Reason for #4: Thin ice warning, please don’t ping roles unless you have to.

Appeal Reason for #4: See above, probably related to this deal I made with crossed a couple years back.
+

Warn Reason for #5: posting cropped porn in general as a protest

Appeal Reason for #5: I don’t remember what I was “protesting” but if I’m remembering right the cropped porn was of the one where (porn involving meme characters). Although that’s funny, I agree with Bee’s 0 tolerance policy on stuff like that, and don’t plan on posting even cropped out versions of the faces of anything explicit.
+

Warn Reason for #6: Final warning: Please do not mass ping roles. Even for wholesome reasons. This is your last chance.

Appeal Reason for #6: I pinged at least the adminhelp ping, but probably all the other pingable roles to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. Crossed said it brightened his day, so he gave me a last chance pass for it. Don’t think I’ve intentionally mass pinged a role since. (There was a guy named ADMINHELP around that time and I did accidentally ping all the admins instead of him once, which is why I say intentionally.)
+

Warn Reason for #7: sexist video in 6h messages

Appeal Reason for #7: I posted a crappy AI voice Yoda reading out the “girls born after 1990” copypasta, and then told the admin who warned me for it something about “looks like somebody hasn’t had her hot chip today” and was banned. It wasn’t intended as sexism, rather, attempted satire of sexist viewpoints, but that kind of content is unwanted here, and so I will not act in such a way again. As prior, it was over two years ago, and I don’t really make fun of people anymore, hopefully I can get it removed from my record.
+

Additional Information: Holy crap, 7 warns? In all seriousness, as far as I understand it, the rule against appealing a discord ban when game banned has only applied to full, actual bans from the discord, I hope that doesn’t apply to appealing plain old warns, since I spent way too long on this as it is. I also asked Llol if I could appeal them (for that reason) and he said “but if you’re not currently muted i suppose it’d be fine i guess”, so I’m going to assume it’s fine.

This was back around when the Ping Ike thing was at its peak and there was also a joke about pinging Mentorhelp/Adminhelp because yeah there was a funny man with @\mentorhelp and another with @\adminhelp as their nick on discord. I forget if they set their nick to that because of the mass ping meme or if that was what triggered the ping meme.

At least IIRC.

Yeah, pinging people was considered “le epic funny” at the time, and someone did indeed name themselves after the adminhelp command. There’s a thread (which I think I actually linked above) talking about how one of the admins accidentally pinged the 200+ coder role (which literally anyone can/could join for any reason) after midnight for the US, it was chaos.

Both of my warnings were 0-pointers, so not really appealable since outside of documenting poor behavior, they didn’t actually count towards your limit.

Still, since I’m the only one still on staff of the people involved I suppose I’ll take on handling this appeal.


After considering this for a bit, I’m willing to remove all of your prior warnings save for the first one. As of now, you only have the one warning active.
