Incarter - communicating and breaking a wall

Game Ban

Ban reason: Metagaming, opening armoury
Length of ban: Perma
Events leading to the ban: I only recently started playing the game and so I joined with Dabigoose as an engineer and we decided that I needed to learn to open other doors (sliding ones and big lock ones) and deconstruct things. So we explored the place to look for an area where we can do both without being bothered and accused of being bad guys. I hopped on a vc with him when he was teaching me as text becomes hard to read (since I have dyslexia). We haven’t done this in previous rounds as I didn’t have to learn more complicated mechanics in the game. Dabigoose screen shared so I could see how to do them so I just moved out of the way to watch him deconstruct the wall. Then we got a bounty and I reconstructed the wall but then I got banned and became very confused as to why we got banned.
Reason the ban should be removed: I think it was unfair that we got banned permanently without warning because I am new and there aren’t many ways for me to learn to play the engineer role without a friend teaching me. I only had good intentions in breaking the wall as I was just being taught to deconstruct and construct a wall after it gets taken down (which I did). The rules weren’t outlined clearly and the dyslexia only made it worse for me. I think a 1 or 2 day ban would be necessary cause I broke the rules without any bad intentions and I will not repeat this offence again. I am sorry and it will not happen again.

Zero tolerance rules are harsh by definition, and typically do not get warnings.

I’ve highlighted the important parts of the rule you were banned for so you can read it better.

As always though, these bans can be reduced in length by appeal.

This has been put to an admin discussion and vote of which we have come to the consensus to remove the ban.

The reasons provided in the discussion for this vote decision were the following:

  • Metacomms is a zero tolerance rule as we can no differentiate between intent with it, make sure to use the in game comms for future.
