I'm genuinely curious what you thought this complaint would accomplish.
So your "appeal" you posted prior to this destroyed any chance you may have had of making a complaint with any kind of legitimacy. I don't know how you can in that, make claims about us being people who can't function in society when you come across as having huge entitlement issues. The admin in question did nothing wrong. In fact if any admin hadn't banned you in this same context I would seriously question their fitness for the role.
Like you said in your "appeal" there are plenty of other servers for you to go to. Word of advice though, they're not going to take kindly to this kind of attitude either. You do you. But you're not doing it here.
This complaint is baseless and is being resolved. I consider all business between you and the server concluded.

I'd propose that, as a middle ground the note be edited to remove usage of "valid hunting" and instead be reworded to a note on excess violence. As valid hunting clearly was not the intent, I judge after reading over this.
-
Alright.
So I'd like to thank you for being patient throughout this whole process.
So reading over this and thinking on it, overall this seems to be that spark interpreted your actions as trolling, and names being powerful, likely took the name "mamafarthole" as a clear sign of that. Well, impressions can be tinted by past experiences, as was likely the case here.
You've been very polite and patient in dealing with us since. I want to skip right to the bottom line in this, because as I said this has taken far too long.
Spark agrees that your in game behavior since this ban has been overall positive and he's agreed to process another appeal on this and do so knowing your recent positive contributions in game.
Spark however is occupied in life matters at the present and will need a few days to get to it. For that extra bit of time I apologize and if you do post the appeal I'll see if he'd be okay with me taking it in his place for the sake of finally putting this all behind us.

I hope to have this resolved and filed very soon, if the poster is not content with this as it stands, please say so within the next five days, otherwise I'll move this to resolved. Though even after that point we can reopen it if need be.
-
This has been here far too long without a resolution. I'm going to assume the mentioned talk took place and the clarification was given. This is also a minor thing that can be dealt with directly if the issue still exists, so this complaint is being resolved.
-
This complaint is resolved then.
-
If you find this explanation adequate, I'll consider this resolved.
-
I'm counting this as resolved. But the entire nature of it I find frankly absurd.
Admin complaints are here to report serious abuses of power or trust. Fruerlund has graciously apologized and I respect his decision to do so, but I need to be clear that this is not to set a precedent. Admin complaints are not here to force us to bend knee to your definition of "professionalism". If you dislike our definition, you're free to go elsewhere.

I apologize once again, this complaint is 110% valid and we have dealt with it as specified above. Other unrelated things are spilling over into it for reasons unknown to me, so barring all of that, are you satisfied with this resolution?
-
The administrator in question has been spoken to about the incident and agrees that this was in very poor taste. We apologize for the incident and the administrator assures me that it will not happen again. That this was done on Liberation day was a very unfortunate coincidence that made this all the worse. Though I do understand this could have been a mental slip. I for one am in the United States where May 5th is normally only observed as Cinco de Mayo, or Mexican Independence day and as such, I was not aware of the date's other meaning.
That all being said I'm wondering a few outlaying details about this. Namely, why this was not ahelped when you saw it and even proceeded to join in. And While I understand the Liberation day aspect of this, if that's the main thing here, why was that only mentioned over 24 hours later and not in the main body of the complaint?
-
The admin in question did nothing out of line in this.The question about the rule you had was answered , so this is being marked as resolved.
-
After the above debate, this complaint was more or less processed but has for whatever reason, been left here to collect dust. This resolved and I'm filing it as such.
-
No no, we'll address it, apologies for the time it's taking.
-
Well, not quite the point of complaints but
Always nice to get a thank you. ZN Appreciates it. And I like it as well.
Closing and filing to resolved
-
I have admin'd while intoxicated many times. If they ever port goon's drunkmin mode it might be because I did something stupid.
Odds are if I'm doing that thing where I let ghosts into the admin room to do whatever, I'm drunk at the time.
-
I remember the round we had it in was very laggy, yes. We also had a bug where all the normally black space on screen (things you couldn't see because of walls et cetera) was instead space parallax.

I'd just like to say that I won't defend myself on this . I didn't want to say nothing to you on it either and just leave it to Tully.
I know I was in the wrong here. The way I came off in the PMs was terrible, to say the least. I was trying to make a point (that I now know did not have to be made) in a quick and direct way. It failed spectacularly. I made an idiot of myself in the PM conversation, and I'm honestly ashamed of what I said.Part of me wants to try to shift blame to my meds making me irritable, or an erratic work schedule leaving me sleep deprived. I know I can't blame either for this. And while they may have been a factor, the failure here was completely and utterly mine and mine alone.
I misread the situation, and again this was stupidity on my part. It has become clear to me that some things regarding antags and what is and is not acceptable was not made clear to me in the trial phase, or information I did get may have conflicted with info from someone else. I intend to talk with Tully at some point hopefully soon and clarify the points I missed.
This was an idiotic lapse in judgement and conduct on my part and I'm very sorry to have made it. I know I've beat the point to death by now and I apologize for the repetition. I just want you to know that I know what I did was out of line, and it's a mistake I intend to never repeat.
I don't know what else Tully will have to do for the complaint, but I didn't want this left unsaid.
I apologize to you for what I did, and I apologize to Tully for having to deal with the mess I made.

Lavaland Role Guidelines
in Announcements
Posted · Edited by PurpleGenie
Clarification on syndicate role, SSD and traitor collaberation
Lavaland is a big addition and with it comes some roles to add even more content to an already very large change. I'm laying down this as a guideline to keep things consistent. Below are some baseline things to know for the roles, as well as a few extremely likely to arise scenarios.
Ash walkers:
Your job is to protect lavaland from invaders, that includes miners, golems, and possibly syndicates. Your job is NOT to amass enough people to invade the station. Attacking the mining outpost is a large move with an impact on the round as a whole
You and people from the station are mutually valid. A miner can kill you, you can kill a miner. This is valid in all circumstances.
Ash walker and miner befriend each other and ashwalker goes to the station or miner goes to ashwalker camp
Yes that's very nice and all but the validity remains. If a miner brings an ashwalker to the station, Joe Toolbox can run up and beat the ashwalker to death, and that's still 100% valid. In the same breath, that ashwalker could suddenly go hostile and kill someone before being put down by security. Ashwalkers are not a recognized species and as such, Nanotrasen does not entertain the idea of giving them any kind of status as crew. Ashwalkers cannot be hired into a job. (don't fax asking for it, the answer is no.)
If you intentionally bring an ashwalker, a primitive, hostile, and inherently violent alien to the station, you are legally liable for any crime it might commit.
Syndicate:
The Syndicate roles at lavaland can be chosen by ghosts. You are manning an outpost dedicated to bioweapon research. You are 100% justified in using whatever you have at your disposal to terminate intruders. While it might be logical to think you should plot to harm the station in some way, remember that as an outpost you aren't necessarily prepared for a full scale engagement. As with all things of this nature, ahelp it.
You should make it a priority to keep your presence at lavaland a secret from the station. Note however that you're more likely than other lavaland roles to be a factor in an admin event, so this is subject to change.
A traitor seeks entrance to the base and wants to work with the syndicate staff
Bear in mind that the syndicate is not a very cohesive organization and that various entities within it are actively hostile to each other. While both parties can decide to work together, they likewise might not. Indeed they might also turn on each other at any point and this is a hazard of attempting such an arrangement and 100% valid as well. The syndicate staff may assist a traitor but should not leave lavaland or in any way compromise the secrecy of the base's existence to Nanotrasen. if you decide to work with a traitor you may invite them inside the base but that's a risk you have to weigh.
I'm a lavaland syndicate and I need to leave the round.
If you can, ahelp it first, if not then don't worry about it. It won't result in a ban. Ideally though you tell the admins so we can let someone else take your place. If you do SSD without warning for an extended period, expect that you might be replaced. As people are eager to play these roles.
Diona:
You’re a small group of diona on a crashed ship. You have an elaborate botany setup. This is a perfect role to potentially play around with the botany mechanics and figure things out. This has no grand goal to it, you’re a diona who grows plants. You’re not crew, as far as synthetics are concerned. You have no real reason to ever leave the shuttle and do so at your own peril.
Miners should not seek out the diona just to kill them for the hell of it, likewise diona should not go out looking for miners. You aren’t ashwalkers, you’re essentially reclusive farmers. Treat the role as you would a station diona that grew from a nymph. You’re still bound by OOC rules as you’re a fully capable person/mob. Much in the same way a station grown diona would be.
Im a lavaland diona and I want to join the station crew
Theoretically you could do this but it’d require you get to the station. And at your movement speed, that’s easier said than done. Lavaland mobs are vicious.
