Ban Appeal question

[Mrfishstick]

Curious, is there a difference between the " 'sploded" clause and a permaban saying to not bother appealing. And if so, which one is more severe?

A permaban is just what it says, a permanent ban from playing here in response to a significant infraction of server rules. These will remain in place for a minimum of 30 days at which point it’s possible to write up an appeal to have it lifted but these are by no means guaranteed depending on the exact nature of the infraction.

On occasion we run into a player who makes a goonstation career out of living in the ambiguity grey zone of what is permissible behavior. To deal with these players, on rare occasion, the entire administrative team may collectively opt to just permaban someone outright despite the lack a specific rule infraction sufficient to typically justify such a ban. This would be an invoking of the ‘Sploded clause.
