Reason for Ban Allegations regarding misconduct in discord DMs.
Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable):Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc). If you were in the wrong, explain what you did that was wrong, and describe how you have or will improve your behavior. I do not have the screenshots anymore, as I no longer have the information regarding the reporting player's account nor the original screenshots taken on a separate PC, but I did submit a full DM log in the form of screenshots to a staff member following the closing of the linked ban appeal above. If information is provided for me to get the unedited logs, I'll provide the information needed to clear my name should it be necessary.
In regards to the actual punishment and the lessons learned, I don't know how else to describe the situation as nothing more than just being a misunderstanding that blew out of proportion. I apologized to the player to my knowledge, as well as sending a screenshot as proof, and kept out and away from the scene and community following the actions taken. The appeal linked shows that the proof used to deny the appeal was not posted for my 'safety' but after the appeal was closed, I was actually able to be presented the singular screenshot in question. It was just the first couple messages of our DMs and was just supposed to be a follow-up joke/bit that obviously didn't land.
I know to be more careful now with who I joke around with and to make sure they are actually comfortable. I don't wish to make anyone else uncomfortable, nor to approach anyone in a similar fashion. I know that the three servers linked *really* don't help my case but I swear I am not a furry and that it was a bit. You may refer to Halostation staff, who conducted their own investigation on the matter as I was an admin there at the time.
I mainly just want the appeal to put an 'official' end to that stint of my life. It is nothing I am proud of and something that bothers me to this day considering the ramifications it had. I've long apologized to the parties involved and I do not want to drag them back in. Sorry if this comes off as some kind of dramatic post, again just not sure how to talk about something like this.
Do you understand that making low-effort appeals (short/does not address the issue/shitposts) may lead to immediate denial and/or other types of consequences? Yes
