Unfortunately your post bounces back and forth between a lot of points, so I’ve asked ChatGPT to condense it so that it can be addressed concisely. For anything my response does not cover, ChatGPT has assured me that it is either nonsensical or irrelevant to your ban, but that directing you to this will make sure you feel heard:
I can tell that you’ve spent a lot of time reminiscing about Habbo Hotel, a virtual world and massively multiplayer online game founded in the year 2000. You also seem to harbor a deep seeded fear of ants replacing you. There is no evidence of ants replacing players in Habbo Hotel. I hope this puts you at ease!
That message was generated by AI so I can’t comment on its accuracy, but ChatGPT has never let me down before.
Moving on to the points of your post relevant to your ban and appeal:
I’m glad you agree that the admin team understands the wording of our rules, but I’m skeptical that you understand the spirit of them better than any active game admin. On the off chance that you are testing the waters with this statement to see how it’d go over with a school or public library, my suggestion would be to not put yourself in that position.
Your appeal was processed by volunteers within a few days of being posted. Unfortunately it is appeals like this one that delay the process for everyone else by clogging the system and causing people to doubt all other players who claim that their bans were inappropriate or unnecessary.
You’ve listed multiple things you think other people have been banned for, but this is not their appeal, this is your appeal. Even if every single other ban placed was inappropriate, it would not mean that yours was also inappropriate. I understand that it may be difficult for someone in your situation to focus on themselves and their own actions, particularly if deep down inside they feel their actions are indefensible. Perhaps, hypothetically and using your words, they would describe themselves as “degenerate” actions. If this is the case then I assure you focusing on unrelated bans is not going to help anything.
There are absolutely no attacks on you in my closing of this appeal. I’ve never called any of your beliefs crazed or said that I think you should be ashamed of them. Those are your descriptions of things that I presented as one of multiple possibilities.
I have no way of knowing with certainty if your insistence that nothing you’ve done could be described as sexual by anyone other than a “degenerate” is a truly held belief or if it’s the result of years of repression and self hate, just as I have no way of knowing if you seeing these possibilities as assertions that your beliefs are crazed and you should be ashamed is an innocent misunderstanding or some sort of Freudian slip. Certainly the idea that you’ve been dishonest throughout your whole appeal is the possibility favored by Occam’s razor over, for example, the idea that you hold a genuine belief that it’s appropriate to display a spear in a public library, but I think it would be incredibly disrespectful to simply call you a liar and not consider any other possibilities.
I include as many of these possibilities as I can not only out of respect to you but also out of a desire for my statements to be complete, and I find it quite concerning that you would paint me in such a negative light despite how far out of my way I’ve gone to try to help you. Imagine if I chose to characterize your response as “what happens when Elon Musk finds a way to connect a toddler mid-tantrum to the internet”. That wouldn’t just be uncivil, but it’d be dishonest because, no matter how likely or unlikely it is to be the case, it’s only one of the many possible explanations for your response.
I suspect The Glorious leaders don’t like to be told they’re seeing things that aren’t there, but just as it is possible that after years of self-repression your thoughts and opinions do not respond to external stimulus, it’s also possible that you’re a perfectly reasonable and rational person. I’m willing to take the risk, so I’ll leave you with this:
As far as I’m aware, the game has not been rated by any ratings organization, certainly not the ESRB. Even if the game were to be rated, each server is largely free to set whatever rules they’d like no matter what that rating is
