Byond account name and character name: Nova_Eclipse1997/Yin
Discord ID: Nova_Eclipse#3534
Banning Admin: MrSignMeUp
Ban Type: (Permanent) Server Ban
Ban Reason Given: I am unable to bring up the entire ban reason because I don’t really remember it, but the admin who banned me likely will be able to bring it up. However, I will try to summarize what I remember: “Previous breach of SSD rules (I attacked a guy who was SSD’d like an idiot because I didn’t know that he was buckled in and that my Intent setting was on harm), and a violation of Global Rule 4 (child) in my character’s security Records.”
Ban Length: Permanent.
Approximate Time Ban was Placed (including the time zone): Again, unable to remember precisely due to not having a screenshot, but roughly July 22, at ~9:00 or 9:30 EST.
Your Side of the Story: I have no excuses for either part of the reasoning for my ban. In the excitement of joining servers where I can play and spend time with people who share my interests, I tend to forget to read server rules and assume that the general “No racism, sexism, toxic behavior, griefing, suicide threats and more” rule set is what I need to abide by.
I make no excuses for the fact that I violated Rule 4 in my character’s security records, aside from perhaps that I was too caught up in writing a backstory in the security records for Yin that I failed to comprehend that anything to do with children being harmed would be unacceptable. In hindsight, I should have known that as easily as I know the sky is blue, but the saying that hindsight is 20/20 still applies.
Why you think you should be unbanned: It was a severe mistake on my part to not read the rules, even if I was so excited to join, and I will gladly own the responsibility for my mistakes.
The actions that led to my ban were completely without ill-intent; I never really wanted to kill an SSD player because I was still getting used to the game and panicked, and never in my life would I want to do anything to a child that would be harmful or worse.
On other sites, such things might be fetishized or fantasized about, but I understand that such things are unacceptable here, and I acknowledge my mistakes and accepted them after the realization I’d been banned set in. I apologize for all of it, and will own up to the consequences for as long as you deem fit. It’s only fair that since you all make the rules for the server and Discord that I respect your decisions.
Whatever the result of this appeal, I will accept.
All I really want is a second chance on the server, since there is no other game or server on SS13 that has given me the experiences I have had on VORE Station. I want to be able to go on the server, have fun and maybe even make new friends, but I will understand if you believe that I’m not ready to rejoin. We’ve all made mistakes, whether through ignorance or not, and I’m deeply regretful about the mistake I made.
On a side note, I’m not saying that I am 100% “okay” with my appeal being rejected - I simply understand that the circumstances involved and the severity of what I did or did not do might end with you choosing to reject this appeal. I know that that is a possibility, and should it come to that point where my appeal is rejected...I will completely understand and respect your decision, and will accept the one-month wait between perma-ban appeals.
Thank you for your time.
