Description of the incident This incident is a part of a thing that has been happening over the last 3? or so days.
It all started 3 days ago when solidfury7 warned me for using name "Marks Skid" that in his opinion broke the Rule 12 (other staff member has disagreed with the ruling, and trying to contact managers for some closure on the whole accident, via discord PM's was met with radio silence, not to mention that a staff was also pinged about it on discord and did not say anything about the whole situation).
I was quite upset about the situation as I have been using that name for nearly half a year, have put over 300 hours after the playtime resets, I was also using the same name on discord (racking up 1500 messages), I have even gotten warns for other things while using it, clearly showing that other staff members did not mind it.
And why is it relevant? Well during my conversations with solidfury7 (in which ones I was rightfully agitated), he tried to convince me that "Staff is not omnipotent, and it had to slip under the radar", which given the setting is ridiculous, even ignoring the fact that anybody spectating has the option to use the 'FOLLOW' function to check the names of everybody present in the round, saying what he said in that situation was just plainly wrong. After that when he has seen I was agitated he provoked me further offering clearly fake compassion saying stuff like " You know, 5 years ago I used a name XXXXXXX that broke the Rule 12 'Ranked, titled, honorific, offensive, famous and pop-culture names are not allowed'", which even now sounds stupid to me as his name was reffering to arthurian legends, and arguably was more warn-worthy, as there is nothing in the rule that clearly (without leaving much to interpretation of current staff) bars me from using the name "Marks Skid".
Summerizing, it would be nice if staff enforcing arguably ancient and strict rule, did not demean the offender with stories that are on the same level as parents saying to a kid that their dog ran away while in reality it died, it just isn't a good look for a person that has power over someone.
Thus after calming myself down I have changed my name to "Markus Skid", ( and ahelped other staff), came back to play.
Now few hours ago, a trialmod Schalkguy, messaged me that the name "Markus Skid" is still supposedly breaking the rule 12, (even tho arguably Marks Skid didn't break it), and that I should change it. But this time it was fishy, as it happend the next round after I got warned for "being mean to mod". So I guess it's time for some more context.
During a round after planetside was evacced, me and other marine were dragging bodies from alamo to medbay, medbay was unmanned, and there were only two people shipside who were able to defib, so the other marine announced on comms to the researchers that they should get their asses to medbay, after his calls being ignored, he went to get them himself, when he managed to drag them to the scene (which took a while) many of the marines went DNR. Thus he threatened to punch them for every marine that died, after they managed to save only 2 out of 7? soldiers, he proceeded to do as he told, and started punching researchers one punch for one death, meanwhile I also punched and shoved said doctors ( we didn't even get them to 1/2th of their health). During our lynch grimreaperx announces in MOOC stuff that could only be interpretted as "I just came here, if you don't stop you will get banned", which in my eyes is a clear abuse of power, given he has no idea about the situation and he is already trying to solve an IC, roleplay issue with OOC punishment. Me and the other party involved complain about the threatening in OOC, and given that I there was already bad taste left by staff in my mouth, I got a bit snarky and ironic, and got a warned for it.
While the warn I got for being snarky towards stuff makes sense, but the aforementioned warn by Schalkguy that I got at roundstart, right after the other warn, is really fishy. I have some experiance with other small communities and I know very well how nepotic and biased people can get.
I know I can get snarky IC and OOC, but in this case I can only feel like I am being targeted and punished for things unrelated to the reasons given in warns. I feel like I have stepped on a foot of somebody that is part of some admeme ingroup.
And it's not like I am going on schizo rants here, there are people out there that are clearly breaking rule 12 and arguably other RP rules like 6, and nothing is done to them, even after trying to report them I was met with silence from other staff, some examples:
Cassandara Reed
Chris. P Vacon
Cooper Morgan
Levi Garrett
Klaes ashford
Shawn Moore
Wallace Jenkins
I am not trying to snitch. I am trying to get closure, clearance and justice. I feel like I have been wronged by certain staff members, that while actively trying to make me miserable, spouted fake compassion or bullshit about them doing this for the good of communtiy and demanding respect, while in reality being completely out of touch with people outside of their ingroup, proven by how different staff members did not mind me using the name "Marks Skid", and given how the same staff that was so "strict" about that rule with me was not willing to enforce it on other people, even after providing required evidence in ahelps.
