Hi, I'm creating this thread in hopes of lifting my permanent gag that occurred on the 3rd of May, 2017, while I was not even on the server.
Since I know people don't like to read (whether that's due to their inability to read swiftly, or their laziness) I will put the information that's required in the form you want, despite it being rather cluttered:
SourceBans URL: Click here
Steam Nickname: ice
Steam ID: Here you go
Date and Time of the Ban: Third of May, 2017 @ 16:53
Gag reason: Obscene language (or so klay claims)
The gag was a courtesy of the wonderful admin: @klay
Ungag reason: Short reason? Unjust/inaccurate.
Long reason? Enjoy the read:
I'll start off by stating the following: I have a total of 9 gags. 4 of which weren't serious (they were jokes, unless you're unable to understand what a joke is) so we can move those aside.
I can prove that 3 others were also due to the admin's inability to see clearly and judge the situation, as the reasons provided were either inexact or flat out false.
The 3 months gag was partially deserved, as I explicitly targeted the community by sharing content discussed on another community. I should've seen that coming, considering the two owners of that community got permanently banned for "disruptive behavior." I trod on a sensitive line and I fell.
Now to the latest gag. As aforementioned, I wasn't present to even know what triggered a permanent gag, that is why I'm going to assume things based on how people perceive my actions. Either klay was (for some odd reason) continuously checking the chat, or they got a report. Let me talk about the reason; obscene language, I see no rule against obscene language. If klay deemed it offensive, then I'm not offensive. You can't be offensive; you can only take offense. Say somehow I fit the bill of offensive language, is klay incompetent enough to lack the ability to tell the difference between the two words "offensive" and "obscene"?
Next point: the "permanent" part of my gag, is that the next step, going from 3 months to permanent? May I add that I received no warning from neither klay nor Kevin over the past year, not even when Kevin issued the 3 months gag. In spite the fact that both gags share the same reason, one of them was wrong (I was not obscene by definition) and the other one I'm still trying to figure out. I thought gags and bans don't stack if they're for completely different reasons.
If klay still has the vision that my language was offensively obscene, that's their judgment. I can't force a sheep not to follow the herd after it's been doing so for so long. I candidly would like them to at least have the decency to explain the situation clearly and give me a chance to prove my point. After all, they, or any admin for that matter, can simply lock this thread and coax Kevin to ban me, since I've always had tension with him.
Thanks for reading (given the benefit of the doubt.)
