Addressing Transparency in Discord Warning for a Hypothetical Joke
#1
This is an informal report on jammin, therefore it is in Suggestions and Help. This is more about the stupidity of the warning itself rather than the person and being transparent about why it is.
Offender's DiscordID - Jammin#8313

What Server(s): Discord

Offender's Rank: Discord Mod

What They Did: False / nonsensical warning

When They Did It: Today, 2:39PM EST


In the interest of transparency, I am making this thread so the topic is up for debate in the public. To put it simply, this warning for a joke is quite simply bullshit and taking a hypothetical situation too seriously.

I mean, where do I start.

Dan, a user who is not banned on the forums, said this.

then this

I offer several reasons why Mr Jammin is taking this too seriously, avoiding the context of the situation, and how it is an apparent joke





  1. I am not legally responsible for what others do in non existent situations, Dan is not banned nor is anyone that was present in chat. As this is not an active case and a hypothetical situation, as Dan is not banned nor was anyone who is presently banned on the forums in the chat, this warning should be removed
  2. Jammin avoided the context of the situation
  3. Taking a clear joking situation too seriously - i shouldnt have to write an essay like I normally do to explain why 
  4. Everyone has talked about broad topics of alt evading and vpns before, which are two common conceptions. Why haven't they been warned too when joking about alt evading in non existent / joke situations where that context is known? Below are some examples. Everyone in these screenshots, like me, talk about vpn and ban evading. Why aren't they warned for talking about it? Are they also responsible for the choices someone makes after they say that in situations that are arguably more real than my hypothetical one?
    A current moderator also agrees that it is their choice and no one can force a.... nonexistent banned person into nonexistent alt evading because they aren't banned

If nicky said this too, why hasn't nicky been warned for "offering methods of evasion"?

More screenshots of prior cases of jokes as well, just to prove the nonsensical nature of the warning
