band reason - " touch some grass, rule lawyering in ahelp pushing for a ban on another player for an IC issue. they knew you were a syndicate agent because their objective was to keep you alive. the captain believed them because they turned in a previous syndicate agent with proof
length - 1,440 minutes
events leading up to the ban - i was suddenly arrest by the captain after helping to get power restored and had my pda taken from me without even opening the uplink even once all because they belived a syndicate agent that i was also a agent (spooder was their name). they knew because i was on their list but i didn’t know that myself. so i ahelped for them to be punished because i was enjoying playing. i only stated rules 12, 15, and 19 when talking with the admin.
reason the ban should be removed - because a whole day is to long for wanting some kind of repercussion for the player that ratted me out and the captain for not following space law and just TAKING my pda when i hadn’t even done anything, and because thats kinda rude for an admin to say “go touch some grass” when all i wanted was to enjoy the game with ought suddenly getting fucked over by a fellow syndicate agent suddenlt betraying me and ratting me and another agent out. plus there is the fact that i shouldn’t have to even worry about that. and spooder even gloated by saying i should have sold them out before they could when i didn’t even know they were an agent.
i only just thought about this, but when i was talking with the admin i said “this is fucking bullshit and you know it” i wasn’t talking about his decision, i was talking about that happened in game
This ban Has already expired, so I will be closing the appeal.
That said, I have reviewed the relevant A-help and the language you used within it.
I feel that the tone you used within the aforementioned admin conversation was in-fact overtly hostile, and just cause for the Day long ban.
Repo did in-fact state that the mentioned issues in the Ahelp were in-character issues. and that they were not going to interfere, they did this twice, both times suggesting you approach the situation in character instead.
They then clearly warned you in the second attempt to have you persue this in character, that you were begining to actively rules-lawyer them and that more information would be present at the end of the round, and that you could either play it out, or take a break.

Appeal denied.
To enable speedy review of all appeals, appeals that meet certain requirements may bypass the standard, often lengthy, review process. Our banning policy requires appeals which are denied using the speedy review process have this notice placed on them. Any of the following criteria typically make an appeal eligible for the speedy review process:
- the ban length is less than or equal to 14 days,
- the appeal is older than 7 days, or
- the result of the appeal is obvious.
In some cases, the banning admin may process the appeal. The banning admin cannot process the appeal if:
- the facts that led to the ban are disputed,
- the appeal makes a claim that the admin who placed it was biased, or
- the ban was not within the ban guidelines.
You may contact a head game admin if you believe this appeal was handled improperly, but should be aware that this will typically only result in a review of the processing of the appeal itself, with the appeal being re-opened if an issue is found. An appeal is considered to have been processed improperly if the criteria to use the speedy review process was not met, or if the facts which the processing admin relied on to process the appeal were incorrect. You must concisely describe why you believe the appeal was handled improperly. If no issue is found with the processing of the appeal, the appeal itself will not be re-reviewed. If, in bad faith, you claim that an appeal was handled improperly, the reviewing head admin may decide to extend the time you must wait before you appeal and/or extend your ban duration. You can find a full list of staff, including head game admins at the staff directory.
