Banned from: Main
Duration: Permanent

My side:
If you look at the reason for my ban, as listed in the window that pops up if I try to join, you'll see that it says a lot of things about me being head of security and stuff. When I disconnected during an ahelp ticket, it was in the FOLLOWING round, which I didn't play in whatsoever. In that following round I reached out to the admin to try and clear up some lingering questions I had. He didn't ping me before I initiated. In the previous round he said nothing along the lines of 'stick around next round or be banned'. I assumed, rightfully as far as I know, that when the round ends EVERYONE is disconnected, tickets are blanked in the process, and that the admins can delay rounds, as I've seen happen many times.

Reason for unbanning: This is supposed to be one of those procedural bans when someone disconnects while being grilled by an admin. The purpose is to force a person to go back and explain why they disconnected. I have done that, but will again in summation. I disconnected because I thought if he wanted me to stick around he'd have held the round from ending, failing that, he'd have bwoinked me instantly in the next round to hold me there. Neither of those happened.

You're missing the entire format that you're supposed to use for these. Please fix this before we take a look at your appeal. For reference, the format you're supposed to use is...

Ban reason: Leaving during an Ahelp

Your side of the story: The Ahelp I left during was one I initiated, during a round I did not play. The Ahelp was to gain info/understanding. It seemed clear to me that wasn't going to happen so I disconnected.

Why you think you should be unbanned: My perception was always that if you are asking questions and that's the whole ahelp, then you can stop asking questions and leave at any time. It's like the difference between being pulled over by a cop and drivinp up to one to ask them something. I think this was a fundamentally unfounded ban, when considering policy of banning people for disconnecting. It seems like it shouldn't apply if they haven't played in the round and they started the ahelp for info.

Can someone ping DiscordWizard?

Aye just got pinged. These bans are giving out so you can explain yourself in the forums, I was probably not done questioning when you left so that is the case, I should have put on the ban reason the topic we were discussing since I can't remember right now but if it was nothing important I'll get you unbanned right away.

Again, it was in a round I didn't play. It couldn't have been important.. The only action I took in the round I was banned, was to ping YOU, to talk to you.. and then you banned me.. I don't recall calling you any names or anything. That's most of why this appeal is so long after. I was FURIOUS you banned me when at that point, it was conversation I started, in a round I didn't play, and by definition couldn't have done anything wrong in. I just wanted clarity.

Aye, was just talked about, lifting the ban.

Moving this to revolved since green lizzer forgot to.
