Dehubbed server: Singularity Network, Nuclear14, DS14, AU14
Link to dehub announcement: [2024/12/17] Dehubbing of Einstein Engines servers
Reason for server being Dehubbed:
“I will be dehubbing your server in 24 hours unless the Einstein Engines council either desists in harassing me and upstream Space Station 14, or you choose to leave your involvement in said project
Reason the server should be rehubbed:
Hello SS14 moderation team,
I’d like to respectfully request reconsideration of the ban against Singularity Network and its associated servers.
Over the 6+ months, our focus has shifted significantly inward. We’ve stepped back from wider community engagement and instead concentrated on quietly supporting new forks and experimental servers, with our original intent with fallout still intact; to help broaden SS14’s creative potential. We’ve been offering free hosting, technical support, and guidance to small communities who otherwise might not have had a chance to thrive and asked for nothing in return. Some still exist and some have moved on from our hosting. Trieste Port, Grey Station, Nepu Station and Null Sector, all running on our server with zero involvement from me past supporting the hosting.
I want to acknowledge past mistakes. Some of our previous staff fell short of the standards we expect, and we accept responsibility for that. Since then, we’ve removed problematic individuals, clarified our staff code of conduct,
and brought in new team members aligned with a more constructive, respectful culture.
Personally, I’ve been largely burned out from the game itself since last year’s drama. My role has become mostly supportive; advising, occasionally contributing to our forks and others (I’ve only recently started again) and being a chief ideas guy like I was known in the past, brainstorming experimental settings that can add variety to the SS14 ecosystem. I care about the project and want to see it grow.
If I’ve ever come across as overly critical of other communities or how things are run, I genuinely regret that. It was never meant as an attack. The truth is I care deeply about the future of this game and its community, and I genuinely believe I have something positive to contribute. I’d much rather return to a collaborative environment than be remembered as someone who took a wrong turn.
I understand that trust must be earned, since our last appeal as I say I’ve disengaged further from the game and took the time to get our house in order and I appreciate that it looks like this process has improved too, judging by other appeals.
If there’s a path forward, whether it’s transparency expectations, probation, or something else, we’re ready to meet it in good faith. All we ask is for the opportunity to be judged based on our current actions, not indefinitely on the past.
To be clear, our involvement with EE ended before the last appeal and that remains the same.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
