Ban/Restriction Announcements

Shos has been banned from Discussion forums for a further 6 months for recapitulation of the prohibited viewpoints he has previously espoused.

At times, we may consider extenuating circumstances which may have given rise to misunderstandings. That was the case with shos' initial ban of one week. However, there is no excuse for not educating oneself on global perspectives when given the opportunity.

This ban will only be lifted following a request by shos, and with due consideration by the Discussion Mods & Mafia List Mods about how shos can healthily engage with our community.

Panzerjager has been banned from discussion forums for two weeks for excessive spam bordering on harassment, split off to here (with note also taken of this post).

While the occasional joking or off-topic posts are tolerated and expected, Panzerjager’s posts went far beyond the reasonable level of leeway such posts are given.

In reaching the decision on what length was appropriate, the mods weighed a number of additional factors, including his previous post and ban history, the nature and purpose of the specific thread targeted, the excessive number of posts in the spam sequence, as well as Panzerjager’s subsequent reactions to the posts in question being moved.

xRECKONERx has been banned from discussion forums for a minimum of two months for abusive behavior.

Due to xRECKONERx’s ban history and the extremely personal nature of the abuse, this ban will only be lifted following a request by xRECKONERx, and with due consideration by the Discussion Mods about how xRECKONERx can healthily engage with our community.

vonflare has been banned from discussion forums for two weeks for the following post:

Well pants if you want to drive homophobic users off the site I suggest you start with

yourself

This decision was reached after a review of a number of factors, including the post's violation of mafiascum's rules against harassment, vonflare's ban and warning history, as well as in light of recent warnings to vonflare about his conduct in the thread and his conduct on the site in general, including a specific mod directive for him to not engage further in the thread until instructed otherwise.

Angel3 has been banned from discussion forums for two weeks for a sequence of posts (which were subsequently removed) in the official Ban Feedback thread and messages in Site Chat.

Wake88 has been banned from Discussion for two weeks for downplaying transphobia.

vonflare has been banned via petition ban from discussion forums and the official Discord server for a minimum of 1 month after continuing a pattern of unconstructive and spam-like posts in serious threads, including ones that interrupt, dismiss, distract, and downplay important discussion, particularly discussion related to trans people. This petition ban comes after multiple warnings and directives, both public and private, from multiple mods over the course of the past few months on his conduct, including a "final warning" PM sent this past Monday. It also follows a two week ban for a specific abusive post.

Keeping in mind this is a ban largely about the entire body of posting and many of these posts were subsequently removed and cannot be quoted from context, a small sample of the sort of posts he was warned to refrain from and continued to make are here, here, and here.



Since previous action has not achieved its objective to curtail this pattern of behavior, this ban will only be lifted following a request by vonflare, and with due consideration by Discussion Moderators about how vonflare can more healthily engage with our community.

ahhlo has been given a 48 hour discussion cooldown ban for spam, after ignoring a mod warning.

kuribo has been given a 72 hour cooldown ban for abusive posts made in the Feedback for Bans thread, specifically posts here, here, and here. While the mod team sympathizes with kuribo's heart-wrenching situation, posts like these hurt others and create an environment of toxicity that cannot exist on this site.

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.
