Enforcement Action Taken
Description of the incident:
I was killed in 1 acid spray by a spitter, so upon revival I described that in my squad net by saying ‘a spitter crit me in 1 spray’, ‘killed actually, i’m back now’, ‘smiley face’ - or something along those lines, ‘smiley face’ verbatim and a separate message. The staff member in question then messaged me for context, received it, ruled it LRP after an argument with me and permabanned me citing ‘you had poor notes last year’ (I have notes from as far bas as 2015?). The fact my last ban was several months ago (a month escalation ban for saying ‘brain blast’ as I warrior decapped someone) was ignored, and I believe escalation rules were broken - unless I remember it incorrectly, with every month or two without rulebreaks the escalation bans lower by 1 step, so I should’ve received a 3 day or a week ban at most? I feel the instant permaban here is quite heavy-handed.
I also believe the staffer broke rule 5 of staff code of conduct:
- If you feel someone needs to receive a permanent ban, give them a ban for 40320 minutes (28 days) and make a post in the Permaban Request section of the admin forums explaining the situation and why you believe a permaban should be enforced. This should ONLY be done per escalation guidelines or rule breaks that are considered cardinal rulebreaks (multikeying, ERP, Massgrief, etc…)
My entire interaction with the staffer took about 5 minutes, most of which was him filing my permaban message and note, skipping the entire procedure outlined in the staff code. I’m not sure that my case was so severe it required that. Other than that and asking to verify if the fact saying ‘smiley face’ over a radio is LRP, I’m not sure what else can be added to this report.
