Who Banned You: Tiefling Lesbian
Reason For Ban: Teaming
Length of Ban: One Day
Reason for Admins to Unban:
I believe the punishment I've been given is cruel and unusual and does not fit the crime committed. Nash (traitor) randomly revived me (innocent) towards the end of a round. Once I was alive again I proceeded to play the game as normal and killed two T's (who subsequently did not report me). I was informed after this event that this is considered teaming and is against the rules. I honestly was ignorant of this fact as I'm not sure I've ever encountered it in my ~eight years of playing on Dink's, much less ever been punished for it. Nash and I both apologized and guaranteed it wouldn't happen again. Approximately 5 minutes after this verbal warning, Nash and I were both given ten warn points each. A few minutes after this we were both banned. My case is as follows; if reviving innocents as a T is allowed, but killing T's as a revived innocent isn't, then in that case Nash should not have been banned as he didn't realize I would proceed to kill two T's. I did not intend to ruin Nash's night and get him banned for my actions and ignorance of the rules. I attempted to plead this before getting banned, and in the Discord afterwards, but it was recommended that I appeal here instead. I believe discretion is in order here primarily for the fact that we were banned relatively far after being given verbal warning and apologizing. After consulting with Tiefling via Discord, they informed me the reason for the delay was that they had to check the guidelines themselves. If this is the case and not even they knew the guidelines for the rules, why must both of us have been given the harshest punishment even after admitting to our ignorance? I can understand that some punishment may be in order. I'm willing to take the warn points or serve out a ban, but the fact is I was quadruple punished for a single action. Verbal warning + ten warn points + one day ban + Nash being banned and ruining his night for my actions. I believe this to be unequitable considering the tame nature of the crime and that no grievances were made by any other player.
If I was able to have a preference, I would like for the ten warn points to be removed from Nash and I's account seeing as I had zero before this and I don't think this mistake warrants ten points, much less on Nash's part. I'm asking that the punishment fit the crime. Any discretion is greatly appreciated.
