Username: onefoxalone
Banned Roles: Silicon
Ban reason: Harrassing staff in ahelps. Asked respectfully several times to stop arguing in ahelp, and would not disengage.
Length of ban: Indefinite
Ban Issue:
I did what I was banned for, but the ban is unreasonably harsh
Events leading to the ban
At shift start, I sent a message on the comms console, both the AI console and physical one, and said “I eat and devour babies,” and “What does T.A.I.L.S. stand for?” (T.A.I.L.S being the name of myself as the AI). Soon after I made a joking statement about having my laws changed, which I did not know at the time was against the rules, and almost as soon as I was told that I was malfunctioning, I went and read said rules. Afterwards, I was ahelped and told that my console comments were very LRP, as command and other important roles were expected to have a higher level of professionalism. I was then told about asking for a law change being against the rules, where I immediately apologized, stating that I hadn’t noticed it as a rule, and read it right after it was mentioned by a HoS. Thereafter, I was given no further ability to defend myself or explain the situation because they were role banning me, despite my apologetic nature and sincere composure. I then got agitated, because they said “have a good night!!” after telling me of my role ban, and said “screw you man,” and “thanks a lot,” where the admin then said I was harassing them and promptly banned me.
Reason the ban should be removed
I feel that this is overly harsh considering it evolved from a genuine mistake on my part. I understand where I went wrong on that front as of now, but I do not believe that it was handled properly or with genuine care. It appears as if their decision was made beforehand and were almost looking for an angry response. I understand that perhaps having important roles requires a little more maturity, but I do not believe two communications console comments would garner a role ban. With my anger against the admin, I understand that it was inappropriate but I feel that their sarcastic comment about having a good night, directly after punishing me, was extremely unprofessional and almost expected to receive a negative comment. I was not overly vulgar in my insult towards them, nor constant on my anger against them.
