Description of the incident Hello CM staff, I am Challade, also known as one of your former moderators. Regardless of how you feel towards me, I harbor no ill interest to anyone of the staff, I have my criticisms, but everyone carries their cross.
I wanted to create this staff report because I, along with a handful of former CM members, have had our appeal unfairly denied. But mine in particular was done dirty. I opened it while another appeal was open, for 3 days it was ignored. I say ignored because the other appeal got handled and the other 6ish appeals that cropped up also got handled. Mine though, was left unassigned and I didn't even see it get assigned before it got denied without chance for response, I know this because I got the email and I opened the link within seconds to find it closed. Which is worse when you consider I step backed and didn't appeal for 2 months because it was a reasonable amount of time.
This is important because I didn't even get a response from anyone whatsoever, which would be fine if not for the fact Jaketeaking didn't even let me respond to HIS reply.
It was just a quick end to discussion, no chance for me to argue my appeal, he put a blanket statement and immediately closed my appeal. After quoting me he responded to me with:
Your appeal is pretty much, "I did nothing wrong, as a staff member", "ive done nothing wrong", etc.
Denied.
Firstly, I don't know what rule I broke. No one told me what rule I broke. Even Soldier who demoted me off the team didn't tell me, he said it was Jake's department and decision, which from that I can extract that Soldier didn't seek to demote me and ban me, rather I can assume it was a staff decision spearheaded by the discord heads. Jake Broke the enforcement of the rules protocol by not telling me what rule I broke, but also denying my appeal without telling me what rule I specifically broke. Furthermore, he didn't properly investigate. Or rather, I don't know if he investigated, as I didn't get any information whatsoever from his response. I was reasonable, I sent him a Private message politely asking he answer a few questions so I could open a staff report, it was ignored and that should be punished as I made an attempt to inquire information about my ban and he's withholding it from me. I'd like to further emphasise it was ignored because I sent it while he was online and I waited 3 days to make this staff report while I occasionally see him online(it shows in his profile).
As for the reason why I also denounce the rest of the discord staff is because they enable it, if not support this behavior. Firstly, I'll mention the important things, they've been banning members who are memorable and/or form their own cliques. Is it because of some Cain born jealousy, or because they notice "problems" from names they recognize often, I don't know, what I do know is that despite all this they've had some "unspoken rule" for a while that if anyone speaks about [you know who] they can and will ban you, no one would know as there is no rule that specifically states that you cannot mention said person because it would be "advertisement" despite said person having the name and profile picture linked to their "other sources" for long after many people got banned.
And now because I "imply" it, I get crucified, banned permanently, and denied my appeal 2 months after the fact, which was funny since everyone who was present KNEW about it anyways, in fact most of the discord community knew, and anyone who peeped a word was banned. Despite the fact that I got provoked into a heated argument with said person and that wasn't acknowledged, just that "Challade pointed out the king is naked when everyone was willfully ignorant(Silent in this case)".
That's just the first report reason, here's my next report reason.
The Discord staff has decided to be lenient on racism while denouncing anything NOT racist.
This has been a hot topic since I even joined the discord community, Mikotoba got banned because she posted a picture of some resident evil girl being picked up with ever so slightly the hint of a buttocks and then had her appeal denied, them leaving the community and the discord staff essentially removing someone from the community.
MEANWHILE, Bancrose had a picture of a black man that's been used jokingly for the "blacked history" memes with a KFC bucket on his head FOR MONTHS. Maybe he doesn't have it now, but it was allowed and unquestioned for MONTHS, as well as him telling me that he's typed ||nigger|| in the discord constantly when I got my first warning.
Now, this isn't me denouncing Bancrose, I'm not against humor, this is against the discord staff who banned Miko for an image because it had "sexual humor" and counted as ERP +18.
THEN there's lumdor who had an emote of an eggplant being rubbed emoji and posted it occasionally on Shitposting. Guess what? Banned. Denied appeal 2 times, not only that, his third appeal had discussion on it despite being lower effort than mine.
Also, my first warning as mod was because I posted a meme of a dinosaur called Nigersaurus eating a slice of watermelon. is the Whitelist manager allowed to have an icon of a black man with a KFC bucket on his head.
Guys, come on, what's the point of shitposting if you won't let people shitpost and then ban them if they do. And worse, allow racism freely "If I(discord staff) like it".
I hope my report gets taken seriously, moreso than my appeal. I also hope you give me some time(days) to respond to any responses since I'm working full time and also have finals.
EvidenceHow you would punish the accused First of all I'd like my discord ban lifted since I didnt break a rule that's been explicitly pointed out BEFORE I got banned for it.
if not, have appeal reopened or allow me to make a new appeal sooner with a fair chance to have more people respond, and have the rules enforced on me updated so that we know what rule I broke at the time, and if the rule has dated or is no longer valid now.
I would have Jaketeaking investigated or possibly demoted since is is an ongoing issue.
I would have the entire Discord staff merged with moderators and have moderators take care of anything discord related.
I think just deleting the public discord might even be better idea no? Have players use the main chat here in the forums, Staff have their discords. Players have their own private discords they talk on, sometimes metacomm on themselves despite the rule being there they aren't allowed to. That rule hasn't stopped them before.
That way no one posts images that are unsavory, or have any personalized possibly offensive icons or emojis, since that's been the intentions of the Discord staff. Hell, this might even get the forums more popular and topics focused on the gameplay.
