While we appreciate Greezy’s attempt to make amends, we have a strict policy about ban discussion on the forum, which is found in our rules: Rules and Guidelines - Updated
A reminder to the community: bans are periodically reviewed, but appealing to us won’t help your case. Asking other people to get involved in your ban situation, breaking forum rules by publicly posting about it, and sending DM’s about it may actually hurt your chances, as it shows a lack of respect for established boundaries and a lack of character growth during the ban period.
To avoid getting banned, simply act like a reasonable person. We don’t ban people for speaking their minds. People get removed from the community once they stop respecting boundaries and engage in hate speech, overly aggressive or inappropriate behavior, and anything else that shows a complete disregard for players and the people who make the game. You can be upset about something, but if you’re taking your anger out on other people or repeatedly ignoring moderator requests and decisions when asked to dial it back, then you show us that you’re not willing or able to respect boundaries. Without that, we can’t move forward.
Our goal is to make the community a better place. That means encouraging the people who work tirelessly to make it a better place. We’ve shown that appreciation in the past with programs like Community Clash and the Community Collaborator initiative, and you’ve shown us your support for this community by raising close to $30k for Extra Life. When we get together, we can do great things! And we’re always working on new ways to involve our most engaged players and celebrate them.
Unfortunately, making the community a better place sometimes means removing people who make it harder for the people who play the game and the people who make the game to be their best selves. It sucks, and we hate having to remove players from time to time, but we pride ourselves on promoting a strong community, and will continue to uphold the ideals we’ve set forth. To review them, check out our rules, as they explain in detail what we’re looking for, and what you can expect from us.
As per the forum rules, I’m closing this now. Thanks.
