Ban reason: Alt of gh0staque, Using a modified client
Length of ban: Appeal only
Events leading to the ban: There is no information I can provide unfortunately. I logged in only to find out that my client was modified and I have an alt by the name of gh0staque?
Reason the ban should be removed: I have 100+ hours of game time in this game and so far I had accumulated 2 notes and zero bans. I only started playing the game this month and I stayed because I quite enjoy it. I downloaded the client on steam and have always used the steam client. Furthermore, I have no idea as to who gh0staque is at all. Maybe the ban was applied in error or maybe something happened to my client that I was not aware of (which i am willing to conduct a full reinstall). Thank you and confirmation as to what is happening is appreciated.
UPDATE: I got curious as to who this ghost guy is and did some digging of my own. This was the only thing I have found :
It appears the person I am accused of being an alt of was banned for using a character name play of a racist word. However, I can’t be 100% certain if this is the case as this person used a “o” instead of “0” in his name, but it is the closest I got.
Hence, I would like to further substantiate my claim that I am not this person:
- The golden point : I have not performed any offense that is similar to what this person has done. I have not said any racial slurs in my time of playing the game, and my characters of mimeister dokmen and hawkeye dokmen is well… not a play of any racist words ( fun fact: I had to google what dokmen means to ensure that I was correct and it is a common Turkish name). Yes my playstyle is not perfect and i accumulated a few notes for it, but none of it is due to any “racial” reasons. If I was racist, surely I would had slipped and said something resembling a slur, especially in a few games where emotions were high.
2) Long playtime: as reiterated in my first post, I have 100+ hours in the game without major issues. This goes beyond the “not racist” point. I have played the game the way it was intended and have taught new players (especially in the medical department). I am not a perfect player, but my relatively clean record should prove that I can be trusted to be a contributing instead of a troublesome player
3) Command gaming: Of the 100+ hours I have in this game, A good portion of it is spent on command ( and security but I don’t play it often) , especially CMO which was my favourite command. The rules specifically stated that command and security are held to a higher standard. The fact that I was able to play command without much issues (barring one incident where code epsilon was activated when i was a HOP) shows that I can be trusted not only to play the game as a worker or memer, but also as a leader where higher standards are required. If I am this person, I would not even gain enough playtime to play as command as I will be banned much earlier, let alone be trusted with it. Thi s is futher proven by me not receiving a single roleban in the game.
Unfortunately, I can do nothing for the second part of my ban “modified client”. The only thing I can say is that I can’t code for crap, yet alone modify anything related to the client. I have reinstalled my client and did a pc scan with norton antivirus (which caught nothing). However, it is my hope that my relatively clean record should prove that I am not another person and can be trusted to play appropriately and follow the rules. Thank you
We have reviewed the details of this ban and can confirm this has not been placed in error.
Due to your attempt to evade your ban, you are banned indefinitely. You may appeal your ban, but only at least 6 months after your last ban evasion attempt, and only with a voucher of good behavior from another SS13/SS14 server.
A voucher of good behavior should be obtained from a well-known or decently active SS13/SS14 server. If it is a mainstream server, we recommend using that server’s admin-help to ask for a voucher from one of the administrators explaining that you are trying to appeal a ban on SS14’s Wizard’s Den and want to show you have been a problem-free player during your playtime on the server. A voucher should be indicative of at least a few months of play. If the voucher is not from a mainstream server, let us know and we will figure out a way to verify it.
