= For game bans =
Ban reason: Cool off friend, staff abuse
Length of ban: Perma
Events leading to the ban:
I’ve played these servers for nearly 200 hours now with few issues with admins in the past aside from abusing a mouse mechanic a while ago. Today your trial admin
grossly misunderstood your “Dickhead” rule. As i have done many times in the past, when I see a funny death I say “get fucked” or “get dicked on.” Yesterday I said “get dicked on” to nobody except in death chat after watching nukies and sec fight. 1 died and I said get dicked on. Little Oliver said don’t say that and to call people dickheads instead. After a long argument explaining how his logic doesn’t make sense, he and another admin said it’s not offensive to call someone a dickhead, so to prove their point I called the admin that said that a dickhead since he said it was OK to say to people. Now I’m banned.
Reason the ban should be removed: Someone should look over this ban because it’s irrational and a clear case of a new admin misunderstanding the rules. I argue it’s more offensive to call people dickheads than to laugh at a situation by saying out loud “get dicked on.”
To enable speedy review of all appeals, appeals that meet certain requirements may bypass the standard, often lengthy, review process. Our banning policy requires appeals which are denied using the speedy review process have this notice placed on them. Any of the following criteria typically make an appeal eligible for the speedy review process:
- the ban length is less than or equal to 14 days,
- the appeal is older than 7 days, or
- the result of the appeal is obvious.
In some cases, the banning admin may process the appeal. The banning admin cannot process the appeal if:
- the facts that led to the ban are disputed,
- the appeal makes a claim that the admin who placed it was biased, or
- the ban was not within the ban guidelines.
You may contact a head game admin if you believe this appeal was handled improperly, but should be aware that this will typically only result in a review of the processing of the appeal itself, with the appeal being re-opened if an issue is found. An appeal is considered to have been processed improperly if the criteria to use the speedy review process was not met, or if the facts which the processing admin relied on to process the appeal were incorrect. You must concisely describe why you believe the appeal was handled improperly. If no issue is found with the processing of the appeal, the appeal itself will not be re-reviewed. If, in bad faith, you claim that an appeal was handled improperly, the reviewing head admin may decide to extend the time you must wait before you appeal and/or extend your ban duration.
