Byond account and character name: Elizaspider, several characters.
Discord ID (if applicable): Arde#9583
Banning admin: Unknown.
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Discord Ban
Ban reason given: While no reason was explicitly given, I've come to presume after this time that the reason was my constant escalation of politically-charged arguments.
Ban length: Permanent
Approximate time ban was placed (including time zone): Late 2018
Your side of the story: It's been almost a year. I can barely remember my reasons for each individual instance. I do know I was tempbanned on several occasions from the discord for exactly this. Eventually, I earned myself a permaban from the discord. In hindsight, I feel that part of the cause was a lack of restriction of political discussion. I feel as though a rule against bringing up politics, or at least against debate over certain "hot topics" could have saved everyone involved a lot of headache. However, that doesn't excuse the way I acted. I was a dick. I showed no restraint. I thought I was untouchable. I wasn't.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I've gone through a lot of changes in my life since the discord ban. Changes in friends, changes in medication, changes in community. I feel as though I'm finally strong enough to show the adequate level of restraint required to prevent this from ever happening again. It wasn't an instant change, to say the least. But I think I've finally come to the realization that I might be ready to appeal again.
