Banned for reason that is not against any rule

Postby superbigbutter » Sun Jun 20, 2021 5:52 pm

Hello, I am SuperBigButter aka Lol Cant Eat

I was banned for Hate Speech/Harassment, although, the report along with the log does not provide any actual evidence that I was committing hate speech, nor harassment. Furthermore, it does not show that I was breaking any rules at all within the game.

The exact reason for my report is that I, along with all other mafias, decided to extend the game when our win was guaranteed. While this action was rather scummy, it does not break any rules shown in the google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P7VaKtIRxKfN6QB9TgtkTG1JIco9eiey2a9Puqj97pc/edit#, or the BMG Terms of Service https://www.blankmediagames.com/terms/. Reading the rules, it states that Hate Speech and Harassment consists of attacks on a person, offensive language, and other.

  1. I did not attack anybody with threats or bully anyone.
  2. I did not use any offensive language during the time.
  3. I did not money shame.
  4. I did not post personal information.
  5. I did not incite a false report on anybody.
  6. I did not post any links.

Not just this, but if one reads thoroughly through the rules, they will find that game extending is never mentioned anywhere in the rules, nor does it even elude to such.

Greetings,

we do see intentional stalling/prolonging a game for no reasons as harassment, which is why the repor was judged this way. The given guide might need to be updated about this.
Disclaimer: I try to abide by the game's softfilter and use the appropriate replacements, when I am using the forums. Those will be set in brackets. Example: [tarnation]

Just to clarify: stalling the game is considered harassment, because you're making an entire lobby wait for you.
