Complaint Jan.Antilles, Goon1, 26/09/23 approx 04:00 GMT+1

[MedEdbay]

I did not manage 2 sentences in our exchange

Your very first sentence was an admission that you do not respect our rules and will likely break them in the future. As such, you were given what is effectively a very stern warning that we are serious about our rules and your need to respect them.
You chose to respond to a request to follow the rules with a flippant remark that seemed to indicate that you would not follow them.
Your behavior in this admin complaint is rapidly draining any and all good will or expectation that you will follow our rules. You clearly have no respect for them, and have an attitude towards our staff and your fellow players that they do not deserve.

"Maybe" is not not an admission that one doesn't respect the rules, just as questioning the government in the 50s under McCarthyism doesn't make one a communist, or mixing healing herbs doesn't make one a magical witch to be burnt at the stake. And holy hell, did you just forget the importance of "innocent until proven guilty"? Passing judgement before I've broken any rules in the future? Please keep your creative extrapolations and profiling private. And since when is (iirc) "Maybe, are you going to do something about the griefers?" a flippant remark? You think I don't take a situation in which I got griefed seriously? And ah yes, trying to answer every point raised by the team and the time it takes so as to not make them feel wasted really shows how much I don't care about this at all /s. I clearly have no respect for the rules, which is why when I got warned the last time about forcefeeding I stopped, and as you so conveniently leave out, first day on genetics that I was removing every negative mutation people asked and only changing species when asked. Go ahead, look at the logs of "Hey, thanks". So as I have mentioned before please have the decency of keeping your overzealous pitchforking and cherrypicking to a minimum, or at the very least pursue a career with the Catholic Inquisition. In case you forgot, I pulled this helpful reminder for you from the admin guideline page:

DISCOURAGED: Staff are strongly discouraged from maintaining negative or antagonistic conversational habits in Goonstation-branded spaces

And please, before you knee-jerk and accuse me of being facetious, as I have mentioned before, I have Asperger's syndroms/autism spectrum disorder (if you wanna see my paperwork I can privately send you a copy with some personal redactions). My intentions are not to undermine, but to understand, which requires exhaustive explanations and questions as to how you operate, where the lines are, how blurry the lines are (more on that later), what specific list of words are on the banned language in its entirety and what kind of justice or lack thereof I can expect. ie what is a normal modus operandi here and if it is a good fit for me. I have yet to be met with the same level of thorough answering to each and every point I have raised. I feel it rather hypocritical I have to highlight rule 2's "take the time to talk to them about it".

you are now Choosing to make really hyperbolic comparisons to police and dictatorships instead of doing the normal thing, which would be to say "Ah, sorry. I will follow the rules." When you walk into a house party, and the host asks you not to use certain language in their house, do you say "wow you are literally like a cop killing me right now!" or do you say "ah, my bad" and move on?

Poor comparison. This is walking into a house party, getting punched by another guest, and then being thrown out of the house by the owner after being asked untactfully if I will stop bleeding all over the carpet, and answering "maybe, can I get a bandage?". If yes, then there's no issue as the bleeding stops, if not, then why would I want to stay? In which case I leave, and any future bleeding is no longer your concern. In that case, the second answer is undefined, or irrelevant. It is a Schrodinger's cat answer, only to collapse into one specific answer upon being answered by the admin of any repercussions (or lake thereof) for the griefers.

Or y'know, I could just use the word "maybe" and avoid having to explain the meaning of the word and its function with quantum physics.

You chose to call them an incel instead of any other insult.

This was your fourth language warning.

I still haven't received any confirmation that there is in fact some kind of automatic word detector/filter that triggers admins to action. If so, you are in the envious position of having access and knowledge of the words that trigger it, whilst also not giving players the luxury of knowing said list. You are, in essence, controlling a DnD dungeon and not telling the players what all the traps are, and then issuing warnings when they trip them, instead of informing them beforehand. If this is such a major issue, why is there not a chat filter/profanity censor? Playing chess with one of us blindfolded reeks of entrapment.
