Black Rain

True but it's a start Right and that's why we adjusted the protocol to be more lenient towards those users if they were to appeal now. Unfortunately, not everyone will take the effort to make a ban appeal despite seeing the kicked message of "appeal on the forums." This is the first step in that direction to consider how we handle very old bans, so that's one of the reasons why we started with a decade old bans for clean-up. Thought I'd share this if anyone was wondering. These were the numbers 2 months ago for permed players that tried to connect to any of our servers. It's a mixture of long forgotten players and those that were causing grief by rejoining on multiple accounts.

We discussed this back in February and once prior a few months before that. So back in February, we did a some more research on the statistics for permed players for 10+ years. Turns out we had nearly 6200 banned with the top 3 reasons being a) cheating violation; b) rdm; and c) inappropriate language. As a result, we decided to unban those decade old ones and will continue to evaluate the bans between 2012 and now. We're not looking to do a full un-ban sweep, but we are looking to relieve a huge portion of permanent bans because of how old they are. Anything below 10 years hasn't been considered. I don't think we'll go so far to unban every regular right off the bat. It requires an extensive discussion of a case-by-case basis which is tedious enough as it is. A major unban wave is easier to deal with when it comes to the age of a ban instead. Also, it's way more easier to keep a repeated offender banned than having to deal with their shenanigans and knowing we're going to hit the ban button again real soon

Discord just compliant with the streaming platforms because they're in hot water if they didn't make an official stance on it. It's Netflix, Amazon, HBO, etc., that slaps fines while the user sharing the content gets the short end of the stick. Sooo yeah I'm the one that gets fucked if anything and not the server itself. I don't think Discord staff gives that much of a crap about it unless its brought to their attention by a report or something. Anywayssssssss pls vote if you're hyped thx kbai

When a bank teller discovers he's actually a background player in an open-world video game, he decides to become the hero of his own story -- one that he can rewrite himself. In a world where there's no limits, he's determined to save the day his way before it's too late, and maybe find a little romance with the coder who conceived him. Ryan Reynolds loves you Poll's up! In the event of a tie, I'll toss up another poll and you'll vote between those dates. Poll closes at 12:00 AM PST.
