You've been unbanned.

Hi Stalone, it's been fun to see your return to the community and the reminiscing of old memories. You've been part of the history of TOR and have made an impact on the server. Both a positive and negative one. Considering all this history, it took us a long while to figure out what to do with this ban appeal and its edits.

On your first version of your appeal, it didn't seem like you wanted to return to the community. It seemed like you were using an excuse just to come back and play some. Perhaps figuring that enough time has passed that you could simply walk in at this point. After interacting some and seeing what you've missed, you did seem genuinely pulled back into community and decided to edit things up. We base our decision on the edited version of the appeal.

Firstly, in your past few months of playtime you were quite simply a rude person towards players in the community, as you say. As a recently ex-staff member at that point, you should've known better. I will say personally, a lot of the people you were interacting with at the time were very much at fault as well. The staff team of the time dropped the ball on that, and I recognize that. Currently, the staff team functions very differently. I would argue that we've created a place in which all parties will receive fair judgement across the board.

However, despite being ragebaited often, you were still just being a rude dick. That remains unchanged, no matter which staff team looks at it. Disrespect has no place on TOR, and such behavior is not something that can be tolerated. The call in which you tell your friend to kill himself was simply the last drop in the bucket. In that same call other disrespectful things have been said regarding players of the community as well.

We believe that you definitely have a path back to TOR. However, as it stands, we don't think this appeal is that path. It feels heartfelt, but it does not feel genuine as you claim to be over grudges, but don't show this in your interactions outside of the community. Appeals exist so banned players can win the trust back of the community. It's hard to tell whether or not you are truly sorry and whether or not you've actually grown. Or if you simply want to head back to the lab, explode some players, and scream at the next ragebaiter that would come your way.

Based on all that, we simply cannot lend you the trust to enter back into the community with this appeal. You will however at all times remain a part of TOR's history and will have always made an impact on this community. Both a positive and negative one.

Hello Chill,

Here we are again, a familiar crossroad, but this time with a most suprising twist. This is a good appeal, there is no question about that. However, as you can imagine, it is quite the 180 when it comes to overall behaviour. Naturally this makes people question the authenticity en genuinity of your appeal. In the past we have had cases like this before. So as much as we appreciate the reflection and the personal journey you say you have made, it is now up to you to prove it. This means the following:

The staff team has accepted your appeal and decided to welcome you back on TOR under the condition that you have infact changed in your behaviour and show this. Any signs of racism and/or other rule breaking behaviour will result in an immidiate ban. I trust that this is clear.

The Staff Team~

PS.

I was very happy to see what you wrote in your appeal and I hope to not be disappointed. Make it a fresh start.

Some form of tea perhaps?

Your ban has been reduced to 30 days from now. We are excited to see whether or not your return will be fire.
