  4. Okay, your mutes on this server were well justifed. Prior to your first and second mutes, you had a lot of players on the server asking you to stop your discussion. When you didn't, you were muted. Valid reasons for Mutes, especially if you haven't read our rules. http://nerd.nu/rules states specifically that political discussions aren't allowed in public chat. Your 3rd mute involves your homophobic comment in chat. If you do not believe that you comment was homophobic, you probably need to do a little research in, how stereotypes can be seen as offensive. You should also take a look at https://nerd.nu/forums/index.php?/topic/20-banned-for-a-homophobic-or-racial-slur-read-this/ . This will hopefully give you a better understanding as to why it doesn't really matter if you find what you say offensive, others might. To some this up, Your mutes were justified.
  5. Okay, I'm going to post here briefly so this doesn't end up into a long and drawn out conversation. The part about stating that he was allowing the posting is something I would have expected from any staff member that was reviewing an appeal. It might have been stated a little different but it was more or less one staff member addressing that they know that this wasn't probably the place that this should have been posted since it doesn't specifically deal with a ban but they will leave it to be dealt with by a head admin. They could have probably corrected their terminology in something that wasn't so blunt, however It could have been felt necessary to do so for when the player verifies the rules they understand that is the terminology we use. It is also normally standard terminology to ask a player to be patient during their appeal. Our policy states that a player should wait until either a staff person responds to their appeal or 48 hours have passed before they bump or make repetitive posts asking of someone to look at their appeal. Asking for a user to be patient is very much needed.
  6. I will look into your chat logs when I get a chance. Hopefully tomorrow at the latest
  7. I'll unban you as soon as I get online tonight. (If another staff member sees this. Feel free to unban them)
  8. These accusations are being looked into. Closing this thread, as there is only drama to be had by continued comments. Thank you Barney for bringing this to our attention and we will investigate this.
  9. Thank you Malvagio for all the work you have put forth during your time here. All accusations will be looked into and any further comments can be messaged to me here on the forums. Closing to reduce hostility since the intentions have been lost or misdirected in this thread.
  10. What you did on the server is never considered a good idea. We take chat, like you have said, seriously. I'm willing to go ahead and lift this ban provided that you go reread the rules at http://nerd.nu/rules and reply back here stating that you understand and will abide by them from now on. Just as a reference, here are the chat logs: 2014-07-21 08:45:29 | <zarxto> I want to grief this server 2014-07-21 08:45:40 | <cyotie911> that would be stupid zarxto 2014-07-21 08:45:44 | <zarxto> That would be great 2014-07-21 08:45:54 | <zarxto> Ahh another wastless server put in use 2014-07-21 08:46:13 | <zarxto> Well it would be recorded and put on youtube and then the server would get ddosed a shit ton 2014-07-20 12:22:29 | <zarxto> I wonder how this server got popular. 2014-07-20 12:22:48 | <zarxto> but i remember some famous youtubers did something.. 2014-07-20 12:22:51 | <zarxto> I dont remember 2014-07-20 12:23:32 | <zarxto> Wait!

  11. I'm finally at home but evidently there is an Internet service outage in the area and I'm not able to get online from anything but my phone. Before I post to this appeal I want to pull the relevant chat logs and review them. I will pull them at work in the morning and reply after that.
  12. Hello, Sorry for the delay, I've been currently on a road trip for the last few days. I'll make some time to reply to this tonight.
  13. wait what? we have a subreddit? j/k Okay, I guess I should be a bit more active there. My bad.
  14. Closing, user can make a new appeal on the unban date.
  15. Just making a quick post to welcome back elbeau and brianherman to the moderation team. They have been retrained and will be out and about on the servers. Feel free to bug them when you see them online. Welcome back peeps. Cyotie911
  16. lol, there's now an Institute of Technology in the ghetto of my town, in a building that used to be a hair salon, and it's next to a dive bar that litterally has the cops called in every weekend. Think I should go apply to work there. :P
  17. Sorry for the delay. Been a hectic day at work today. Unbanned.
  18. Glad you see it my way. I wouldn't want to have to beat you into submission! Lol just kidding.
  19. It also became a deturant for someone to borrow a friend's account to play on because of the risk of it getting banned too.
  20. To my knowledge, this rule was developed before there were compromised account lists and was a punishment because it was harder to check if an account was an alt or not. We didn't have the lookup tools that Deaygo provides us with now. The punishment fit the crime better.
  21. Yes, they do have the right to have another staff member look at their appeal however the decision to have the appeal be taken care of by someone else will always land upon the admin. If it were to be handled in the fashion you describe, it would be equivalent to a child asking his mom for something, not getting the answer they wanted, going to ask dad instead, doesn't get the answer they want, goes to grandma next and so on until they get the answer they are looking for. Ban appeals will never be private. Circumstances surrounding bans and unbans have always been public for a reference for a players future bans, for instance, how many times they were banned in the past is only recorded by the # of appeals they have, how many times previously they have been banned for a certain violation (I.e. xray) will determine how long of a ban length that needs to be set. There are numerous other reasons that private ban appeals will never happen and this has always been our policy.
  22. For the record, what was quoted wasn't policy for the players. It was a document drafted to help staff members remember what all is expected of them as staff. That being stated, it now reflects this conversation.
  23. What I said is that a Head admin will look into whatever problem that is brought to their attention. This doesn't mean that it will result in another staff member handling an appeal.For instance, a player modifies another players build and didn't see it as griefing. They could think that staff member had a grudge on them for some reason and was further fueled by a ban for griefing. This player comes to me telling me that they plan to appeal shortly and request that another staff member handle their ban because they feel they were wrongly banned and that there is a grudge being held against them by the banning moderator. This circumstance doesn't warrant another staff person handling this ban because the grounds of the ban were just, furthermore, if I seen no evidence that there is any bias having been shown to the banned person then there is no reason for me to believe that the banning moderator will be anything less than professional in the appeal. (We will take the time to explain this and why this is so to the appealer) This is just a situation. Each situation that is brought to the heads will be determined on a case by case basis. So, in review, just because someone thinks there is a bias, doesn't mean that their case will be handled by someone other than your banning moderator. The banning moderator is always the best suites to handle the appeals since they were there to recollect the events that took place and will only be replaced if the situation requires that to happen.
  24. No, not saying that at all. What I am saying is that they are free to contact a head admin outside of the ban appeal and the Head will look into their concern. I will have no problem turning a judgment around if it is spiteful or unjust. Any overturns or re considerations will be made public and added into the appeal. If a player would like to elevate a concern prior to appealing, I'll be more than happy to hear their concern and will determine if we think there would be any bias towards the appealer from the banning moderator. However, I'm not going to turn the ban appeals section into a circus by every person who appeals have their appeal handled by an admin if there isn't a legitimate reason to do so. Any of our staff should be able to conduct themselves professionally in ban appeals and show no bias towards anyone, If they should have a problem then I Would Ask That They Recuse Themselves From The situation. If there is a staff person that happens to act in any other manner than professional in an appeal, please bring it to the attention of a head admin immediately.
