Enforcement Action Taken

Description of the incident:

The questionable decisions and complaining of the round’s first Queen led to an argument between myself and her, along with a few others taking part it in. The argument was superficial, as it did not actually change either of our actions in the end. Even the Queen (Lam3) herself said plainly that she would not silence the opinions of others, and did not actually mind the argument. She permitted it, and since she is Queen, her decision is final.

Despite this, someone ahelped about the argument, and this moderator, who I should mention is on /trial/, took it upon themselves to enforce against the Queen’s decision. The Queen herself decided the argument was allowed and said so multiple times, and yet this trial moderator was so adamant on noting me for it despite her decision, that they would not even allow me to defend the Queen and the frontline. Eventually it led to the Queen and most of the frontline dying, when it could have gone in another direction if we were allowed to focus. It is a blatantly contradictory course of action to enforce a rule that was not even breached, as like I said before, the Queen’s decision is the /only/ decision on what is and is not allowed.

This blatant disregard for the Queen’s autonomy and lack of respect for her decisions concerning the management of her hive was partially to blame for her death, which proves that it was never even about respecting her, which is unacceptable from a moderator. I was noted for it, which further confuses me, as the ticket itself made it clear her will was not the priority.

Here is a transcript of the ticket. You can even see where I expressed that the current time was not a good time, as the Queen’s hive and life was in danger. This was disregarded, proving that the goal of the ticket was not to enforce the Queen’s will.

Heya, @Kyogon!

We’ve investigated the incident. So, first of all, even though Vending Machine is a fresh Moderator, we believe they handled the situation quite well and appropriately. The logs clearly show that you not only questioned the Queen multiple times but also displayed a rather passive-aggressive attitude, that’s indeed against Rule 2 - Xeno Roleplay Standards, and Rule 3. We don’t enforce the rules based on players’ preferences. Just because the Queen is okay with the situation doesn’t change the fact that being disrespectful to her is against the rules.

What’s even more concerning is that after your conversation with Staff, you taunted nearby players via LOOC with a message like, "Let me guess, X, you were the one who ahelped?”

I’m assuming you’re aware of how many times Staff have reached out to you about behaviour. We trust Vending Machine’s judgement and don’t want to escalate this further. I understand the frustration that comes from in-game things, but it shouldn’t spill over into toxicity toward other players. In the future, please try to play more calmly, or join the server when you’re feeling more relaxed because I’m not sure how much longer this can continue.

I am going to deny this report since we don’t believe there’s any misconduct on Vending Machine’s side.
