So, I got banned.
I appealed
(and got denied)
(RIP my CP app)
I suppose I'll create this thread to start a discussion with the community about this whole event.
Long story short, basically messed around yesterday with a few folks in VC and I decided, why not mess around for a moment. So, I threw myself off of the 4th floor of the RDT trying to do a /charfallover. It ended short and after getting revived I immediately got permabanned afterward. I'll be fair, I was messing around and overall being goofy however, this is a one-time incident, I've been here since the very beginning of the server, V1 and V2 and throughout all of it I've acted seriously, I've partaken in events and I've helped contribute. A permaban over something simple as a joke is absurdly harsh.
A day before this whole scandal I was in the Pint with a few people (no names will be mentioned) and people were messing around, goofing, and overall could be seen as unserious to some admins, it simply happened that the person watching over me and who banned me decided to crack down hard, had the same person been during this event I can only assume it would end like mine.
This also sparks another discussion, the way bans should be handed out.
I'll be fair here and say that permabans are for the worst of the worst, DDOS attackers, actually unserious minges, etc. Instead, these bans are being handed out to people like me, @hawke, @AtlasYEET, @Merlinsclaw, and even @Mothra (who was recently unbanned) either only had a few warnings or nothing at all.
Week or day bans should be given instead, I would be fine with being banned for a day over my actions, it's completely understandable to give a much lighter punishment. Willard's current system on how bans should be dealt with is it operates on past infractions rather than the severity of the newer ones, meaning you could break some small rule and still get banned over warnings from the past.
I'm going to bring this up here because it kind of made me ask a question to myself, the response to my appeal concluded with this:

Now, what's the big deal? In the rules of the ban appeal it states clearly that you may attempt to appeal after 2 weeks:

My question is, why did it extend by 2 more weeks? New rules? because if so it adds up to my points above, the overall harsher crackdown. Maybe something more sinister or perhaps a simple mistake. It's food for thought so I suppose I'd add it in.
Anyhow, that's my end of the story, feel free to discuss.
