Ban/Restriction Announcements

[SirCakez]

After a petition explicitly stating that he will avoid using non-public/game-compromising information and discussing ongoing games, and with consideration from the Listmod team, Gamma Emerald has been unbanned from mafia.

[T-Bone]

House has been banned from the site for a minimum of one month, subject to successful petition, for doubling down on a remark (including but not limited to here and here) even after being informed it was transphobic. He will need to be replaced in any ongoing games. As a reminder, please do not discuss ongoing games.

[SirCakez]

After a petition showing her understanding of how her behavior broke the rules and commitment to refraining from toxic/abusive behavior towards other players, Nancy Drew 39 has been unbanned from mafia.

House has had his indefinite ban reinstated. When House was initially unbanned I sent him the following PM:

The account House has been unbanned. Needless to say, any infraction is likely to be met with harsh penalty including rebanning indefinitely.

Do not join more than one game for the first month.

Certainly don't use your new access to harass anyone.

I believe he lost sight of this warning and did not heed it, and I am fulfilling the message therein. This is both for the previous posts as well as a number of more borderline activities. In addition, after the most recent ban he PMed other users, ostensibly to apologize but in reality causing more harm.

The mods moved to act quickly to ban in order to reduce harm, but I am able -- with more time and context -- to view this in its totality and take into consideration the unbanning, which the mods didn't have full context of (an oversight on my part). Therefore after consultation with and agreement from the moderators, I am acting to remove House.

In the future, moderators may post bans that have temporarily open-ended ban lengths while they discuss the full gamut of options available but still allowing quicker action to be taken.

Thanks for your understanding.

Due to errors in moderating recent games, Cook has been knocked down to 0 games of modding experience. She will also require a co-mod indefinitely, and will need approval from her co-mod on resolution of actions, communications/posts that are not votecounts/flips/prods/replacements, and setup posts/setup generation/role PMs.

Nordom has been indefinitely banned from the site for repeated use of the word "lynch" in Mafia games even after being told to stop and then making light of the corresponding site rule, and sexually suggestive and homophobic posting, then doubling down when asked to stop.

He will need to be replaced in any ongoing games. As a reminder, please do not discuss ongoing games.

[SirCakez]

Kcdaspot has been banned from mafia for one month for a post in Mini Normal 2269 encouraging another user to self-harm.

He will need to be replaced in ongoing games. As a reminder, do not discuss ongoing games.

[SirCakez]

StrangeMatter has been banned from mafia for one week for misgendering another user repeatedly even after a warning from the game moderator.

She will need to be replaced in any ongoing games.

[SirCakez]

humaneatingmonkey has been banned from joining new games for one week for this post which violates OGI rules by describing a situation in which they'd replace out. The post specifically describes tactically replacing out of a game based on alignment and whether one expects to win or lose, which is also unacceptable.

[SirCakez]

MonkeyMan576 (a.k.a. NoPowerOverMe) has been banned for misgendering another user multiple times, given previous history described here. He will need to be replaced in ongoing games. In the interest of acting quickly, we are declaring the ban now and will determine the exact timeframe of the ban later.

[PenguinPower]

MonkeyMan576's ban has been determined as a 6-month ban with a petition element, in light of his prior offenses and continued communication showing a lack of understanding of the importance of correct pronoun usage. He will be unbanned only after submitting a petition showing an understanding of why his behavior is unacceptable and a commitment to treating trans people with respect.

Nero Cain has been banned from the site for two months for ableist language, following multiple previous warnings related to language that was disrespectful to marginalized groups and a recent warning in March for using language disrespectful to marginalized groups that explicitly indicated further violations would lead to harsher and escalated action.

He will need to be replaced in ongoing games. As a reminder, do not discuss ongoing games.

Alyssa the Lamb has been banned. It's come to our attention that in the same interactions that ended in Krazy's ban, Alyssa was similarly involved as a moderator of the discord implicated. At the time, Alyssa was long-term banned (self banned for over a year). Although less directly involved as Krazy, Alyssa was active at the time and had ample opportunity to stop the behavior here and did not remove or otherwise act on the user who was making suggestive comments to minors. The moderation team does not want this behavior to be able to persist on the site.

Also banned:
Ankamius
Blake Belladonna
Branson
Check and Checkmate
Alacrity
Team STRQ
Yshtola Rhul
Lastrodectus
Tsukuyomi

Andante has been banned from joining new mafia games for one week for discussion of ongoing games. She does not need to be replaced in any ongoing games.

As a reminder, do not discuss ongoing games - even if the other person is not in the game, you are dead in the game, or they are dead in the game; and even if you aren't making a reference to a specific game. More information about this rule can be found here.

Shoshin has been banned from mafia games for 2 weeks for committing a trust tell after being previously warned. They will need to be replaced in any ongoing games.

The co-mod must qualify to run the game on their own and will be required to check resolution of all actions.

PJ. (formerly known as Panzerjager) has been banned from the site and discord for a minimum of 1 month for being dismissive and disrespectful towards plural users in the following discord posts and surrounding conversation:

Plural opinions need not apply when the subject is "changes that effect the way ever user in this server's ability to use the app should be run by more than 3 ppl"

1. pathetic.
2. maybe the vetting process should be more than .9% the community should have to chime in on something before there are changes made.
3. pluralkit zzz of course you have no respect for other ppl on this server cause you were part of the change that had me mute most the server in the first place out of necessity of avoiding ppl that i could no longer block.

While suggestions on how to improve the Discord are acceptable, singling out plural users on the basis of their plurality to blame them and dismiss their opinions is not.

Due to PJ.'s long history of abusive posting, particularly posting that belittles or disrespects neurodiversity, and because prior bans and warnings have failed to achieve their objective of curtailing said behavior, this ban will only be lifted following a request by PJ., and with due consideration by Mafiascum Moderators about how PJ. can more healthily engage with our community.
