Alec Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Name: Doc Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:82802199 Ban Reason: I think causing drama? (Has been quite a while not entirely sure) Date of Ban: January 31st, 2020 Length of Ban: permanent Staff Member(s) Involved: I believe general high staff / owners Reason(s) why we should accept your appeal: the ban was, frankly, over a joke post made on the forums comparing current synergy to icefuse because of at the time recent events. Albeit, it was a baseless joke made because of a group just making a laugh, but it was a joke post. I do recognize the error that I put it in the wrong section of the forums, leading people to believe that my claims were serious. I do also acknowledge that because I had not played on the server for more than 20 minutes in months, and all my info was instead second hand from players and again, pretty baseless. I’ve realized that there’s nothing to gain from just talking shit and as you can see by me moving on and not messing with anything, I’ve moved on from that aspect of viewing the server and have done nothing to harm the server other than this joke. This is my first and only ban I’ve ever received. I genuinely would like to return to help out my old battalion and be a positive member of the community and help it improve, whether i see something as positive or negative. As I have my forum account banner and have not made an alternate, if you have any questions for me, feel free to message me at Doc#4464 on discord Evidence to support your claims: there is little evidence I can give here. The post I made was delete it soon after and after a brief talk with founders and directors I was banned. Note, this is a ban appeal Made for Doc, not for me. I'm posting it due to him being banned on the forums 1 Report Link to comment

Egg Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) I have had my disagreements with doc over the time that we have both played on the server, but eventually grew to be friends and comrades leading the 41st and 91st together and trying to build a lasting bond between our two battalions. Some drama has been kicked up by him but, all things considered, I do not believe it is entirely deserving of a permanent ban from the server. Doc has for the most part been a very upstanding, but blunt and sometimes a bit controversial in terms of humor and memery on the server and forums, member of the community from leading a rather successful neyo term and actually doing the 91st justice to helping out in many other positions. I have talked with doc personally about his ban and in his time away genuinely has changed his attitude and I believe that he deserves this second chance. +1 Edited July 8, 2020 by Egg 1 Report Link to comment

I think you people need Jesus. The reason for this is because a lot of the time, the criticism comes from a place of care for the server and a vision that things could be better or have declined in such a way that things are worse than previously or can be improved. The good times that were had or vision of the server had strayed from what had originally been set. Without criticism, things cannot improve and things get stagnant, which no offense, has happened quite a few times but to different things such as naval or jedi. And in this appeal and my own personal talks with him, he has realized the error of his ways and held no ill will towards the server. And in my opinion, i think the people who do end up leaving the server on not particularly great terms should be looked at and talked to as to why they think the things that they do. Instead of just casting them out and never hearing why they decided to leave or giving them a chance to possibly better themselves or the server with their ideas. 3 1 1 Report Link to comment

There is a large difference between constructive criticism and shitposting for the sole reason of creating conflict or even seeking attention. There has been many times in this community where I and other server leadership have seen legitimate constructive criticism and taken it to thought/implemented strategies to improve/ensure the success of the server. This however was not one of those cases. This particular case was someone who wanted to leave the server because they were bored and cause as much of a shitstorm as they could on their way out. I don't see how that falls into the category of criticism that would help at all or provides any sort of benefit to the server. Feel free to explain it to me. 1 1 Report Link to comment

You are correct about there being a difference between the two things. But sometimes they can also be the same thing, and by making the claim that synergy had fallen into the same pitfalls as icefuse and become something that we never wanted to be was true for many people at the time. Nobody voiced out about it out of fear of it being 100% true, but many of us who had come from icefuse and been here since the beginning felt the same way. People have even been making the same meme for long before doc ever did. The banning of doc because of saying that synergy was icefuse v2 all but confirmed suspicions and fears that many people did not want to happen. Calling people retards and nwords and telling the founders to go die, is just someone trying to kick up dirt for the sake of it. Pointing out the flaws of the server that many people shared at the time (some even still today), while may not entirely be constructive criticism but it that doesn't mean it can't be. As I said before, people who make claims like this should not be forced away like some sort of leper, but instead talked to and listen to them and try to improve things from a foundational level by making that criticism into something constructive. In regards to pointing out how something had become the something that it fled from in the first place is one of the most important criticisms that can be made. From all of my experiences with doc, and many of the og 104th is that they are brutally honest and not afraid to stand up against something that they think is wrong and always wanted what was best for all the other gamers on the server, which is something that I personally really respect. This server was born out of the fires of icefuse but with the goal and some of those same values because getting gamered on for standing up for what you believed was right was one of the reasons we left that place, but here we are today. Making criticisms and claims, yes should be well thought out and put in the correct areas, but sometimes anger and strong feelings can cause people to act a bit without thinking. 2 2 Report Link to comment

I thought I touched on that, but im sorry if I didn't (im kind of at work and can't type the stuff in 1 go). I'm not saying no punishment was deserved at all (he's been banned for 6 months already), I am making my argument that his permanent ban was not entirely warranted. Maybe I am giving him some benefit of the doubt, but I had also talked to him before and after it had all happened as well, and spent quite a lot of time together discussing things while we were both bcmds of 91st and 41st. Maybe the intention was to kick up some dust, but I believe the intentions were not all bad and after talking to him much more recently about this appeal and his previous actions that led to this ban in question, I believe that he should be given another chance to be a contributing member of the community. At least in game and TeamSpeak. I dont really want to clog up this appeal more than we already have, so we can continue this discussion in another setting if you really want to.

I'm simply stating facts that were reported to me as well as my own personal experience from actually being there but you are more than welcome to be entitled to your own opinion buddy. Also, the fact that he officially fully resigned from the server about a month before the post was made demonstrates a blatant lack of maturity and ill intent while failing to provide actual constructive criticism for the server in which you are labeling as "simply venting and or letting off frustration". The post was intentionally slandering the servers creation, mission, and operation with direct intent of getting a rise out of people. Joah, Jackson, Zim, myself and Ron have dedicated an immense amount of time within our lives to build and maintain this community for you players. Seeing blatant shitposts that are factually incorrect from uninformed players (especially the ones who resign and maintain their status as a keyboard warrior on the forums) is something that we have dealt with time and time again. Players that hate the server and want to stir the pot on their way out have no place in this community and I can't even fathom the mindset of wanting to come back to something that you hate but here we are I guess. I would also like to make my position clear. This is not me denying his ban appeal. This is simply me standing up for not only myself and my fellow leadership, but the community in general. If Doc truly valued his experience here, he wouldn't have conjured toxic behavior on his way out and lets be real here, this community already has enough toxicity as is.

Was not going to reply but this "Alright easy there with the lying @Square." really tweaked my gizzard. if you really want to vindicate this opinion you should just post the "recording" that you told us you were making of the TS conversation 90% of conversation was conducted by you (Speaking on the behalf of Doc or not whatever the flip floping that kept happening) as Doc went either went AFK or refused to speak to the Founders when they tried to have a conversation about why the post (I think the entire Convo lasted over 30-40mins not a "brief "coversation) was made but the reason boiled down to this. Yes, Doc was frustrated with some of the processes or things on the server (All heard 2nd hand as he didn't play at the time or only hopped on a couple times) Was the post designed to highlight this? Hell no it was specfically designed to get a rise out of the Founders and was basically admitted to as such during the start of the connversation in TS. Now for the appeal itself because Doc is an opinionated retard that caused so much shit that I had to deal with but never actually broke any rules until he decided to go in the toxic cesspool that all members join at one point or another. Even though this appeal is a very onesided and interesting intepretation of the facts I will say this: +1 he can come back and if he slips back into old habits we can just bean him again and say "Well we tried forgiveness" 1 6 1 Report Link to comment

Retired Founder Joah Posted July 17, 2020 Retired Founder Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 My two cents on this. Doc was incredibly ignorant during the entire situation, and allowed someone else to do the talking for him. When confronted, we got silence, and half assed attitude. I do remember exactly what Square is referring to. I'm not putting my hand in this decision, my answer is obvious. I'll allow a more mature audience to decide it. :) 1 1 1 Report Link to comment

Guy Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Hmmmm, I am not aware of this situation as I was gone for some time, but that being said let's examine what we know. -Someone made a shit post on the forums degrading the community in the sense of comparing it to a less desirable one. -In turn, for this mistake the person was handed a permanent punishment. From my point of view a singular mistake shouldn't merit permanent action. It is obvious he wants to return and has said to have learned from his mistake. I push for an unban. If he is disingenuous about learning from his mistake and proceeds to continue his erroneous ways then by all means drop that ban hammer. 2 Report Link to comment
COC4IN3 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 This ban appeal has been on-going for a while now and there should be a verdict at this point. Look, we all make mistakes in our lives, we're not perfect in any shape or form but this guy really wants to come back. I got permad off the forums for being extremely toxic and was absolutely horrible towards certain individuals, but I came back a year later saying that I am sorry (Which I am). Maybe his ban was justified but maybe we all could try and look at this differently and see what's on the other side. I remember when I got unbanned from the forums I was told that if I was to get 1 more strike within a certain time frame then I would be permad again without the ability to appeal. So what's my solution to this? Basically, give the guy a chance to prove himself, If he breaks any rules then he can be straight up permad again without appealing. That to me seems very fair to the lad. Seems like people here have very strong opinions on this guy but as a person that has no clue of the guy, he seems like he messed up big time but has totally regretted what he did. Lets turn the other cheek and try and see what he has installed for us, to prove himself to us. We're synergy! We are the refuge of IFN, we allow second chances. I say we make the verdict today, to get this out of the way. No matter what the management decides, I will truly back them regardless of what decision they made. Please think about this ban appeal with a good heart. +1 You have my support but please prove to us that you have changed and that you will never make the same mistake again. 3 Report Link to comment

He was alittle mouse while his big strong man was talking for him. Don't say that square is lying when you're going to do it yourself. I'm sure everyone in that call would of listened to doc if he fucking said something and not hide behind you the entire time. 10 hours ago, Joah said: Doc was incredibly ignorant during the entire situation, and allowed someone else to do the talking for him.

I agree with both Sanchez and Joah, during the conversation other people were speaking for Doc and every time Doc did actually speak it was just to make a shitty comment or just acted like he didn't care.

The community barely knew about the post because it was removed from the forums within 5 minutes of being posted, It was posted later at night, only a few people saw it because both MYSELF and DOC were in the TS together while he posted it and we both were watching it. Also what actions could Doc have taken after the post was made when the founders instantly joined the TS channel once the post was removed and spoke with Doc and Myself. During our discussion Doc made it clear it was a joke post and he was venting out frustration with the server and I will say props to @Forseen for actually listening to Doc while it SEEMED like the rest yall had already made up your minds. my brain hurts from this... -1 Edited July 17, 2020 by Carvis 1 1 Report Link to comment
Retired Founder Joah Posted July 17, 2020 Retired Founder Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 @Carvis Said it perfectly. I'd also like to clarify, this is not the only issue we've had with this particular individual in the past. Jackson, Myself, the founders as a whole have had issues about Doc brought up multiple times. Doc was given an opportunity to speak like an adult then. Instead we were greeted with someone else to speak for him and an immediate attitude issue from Doc himself. (When you're given the opportunity to speak to the owners thats your time to speak up and talk like a human being) If you wish to remain silent and give a negative attitude, you're not going to go far. Again (I am not making a decision on this period) AKA. Doc I'm giving you a chance through other staff members decision. (Directors +) I have not even spoken to them in regards to this issue. They are able to make their own decision on this. The fate of his ban rests in their hands. My opinion of Doc is severely biased. I'd immediately vote no. I've had multiple issues (Personally) with doc in the past. A lot of behind the scenes shit and public. My opinion is extremely negative of Doc, and I feel my vote would be emotionally pressed and not logically. Good luck on your appeal. 1 1 1 1 Report Link to comment

Also, no he was given ample chances to speak in very long awkward pauses. Carvis would know lol Edited July 18, 2020 by Sanchez 2 1 Report Link to comment
