Username: SyaoranFox

Ban reason: The ban reason is: "Sexual content/erp - references to 'affinityfur' and 'having sex with hammy'
Length of ban: Indefinite
Ban Issue:
I did what I was banned for, but the ban is unreasonably harsh

Events leading to the ban

During this session, there was an individual who was repeatedly stripping naked and getting into hammy’s enclosure. On the first occasion, I believe I wrote “they broke into the cage to have sex with hammy”, and on the second occasion where we were called to the bridge to arrest the person, they were indeed naked, covered in scratches, and inside the enclosure. On the radio, a little later, someone asked about it, and I said “they were there to mate with hammy”. There was banter about not being paid enough, and said “yeah, never heard of affinityfur?” That was it. I was arming up to deal with red escalation when prompted by the admin.

I explained it was hyperbolic satire, asked about affinityfur, and again, said it was satire. I was then banned indefinitely.

Reason the ban should be removed

To me, the comments were too far, however, it isn’t outside the realm of what a cop might comment on during the operations of a shift. “What a sicko, naked in a hamster cage.” That sort of thing. Also, just talking about a satirical version of furaffinity isn’t in itself a sexual reference. There are sexual images there, sure, but the site is a repository of furry art and culture, at least it was when I frequented the site.

I accept that I shouldn’t have said anything at all, but a permanent ban for someone with a completely clean records, at least, for me, is too much. Tonight was going to be my last shifts on LRP before moving over to MRP. I am discouraged, and shamed. The most upsetting part about this is that I tarnished another person’s experience with the game. I was only trying to enhance the roleplay nature of the experience by being what I thought was a good officer. I see now that this was wrong.

The indef is pretty much because you made a ton of people super uncomfortable with stuff that’s against the rules - the line between sexual content and ERP is fuzzy, and the banning admin used their best judgement, which I agree with after reviewing the context. Funny or no, you still cracked bestiality jokes in a 16+ server - please make sure to reread the rules in future.

Given your regret over upsetting other people’s experiences, I don’t think you intended to skeeve people out or anything, and that it was intended as a joke rather than ERP. I’m lowering your ban duration to three days, per the banning policy for sexual content.

Please note that either offense carries an automatic dewhitelisting from MRP; you will need to reapply in the future. There is a minimum of two weeks until you may do so.

Thank you for your swift reply to this matter. I wanted to write a formal apology to the community as a whole, but more importantly, the people I was playing with. I sincerely apologise for making you uncomfortable and dulling the experience of the shift. The mark of excellent roleplay is to be lost in the narrative rather than to be blunted out into reality by the content.

I am filled with both guilt and regret. If I impacted how you felt about the shift, or the game itself, please let me know how I can make it up to you and I will do what I can.

I have fallen in love with the game, and the fact I have done something to make it worse, even on a shift to shift basis, is a mark on my character.

Again, I apologise for crassness. I will be better.
