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.
