Appealing: m33mo123 suspension 3652706

Postby m33mo123 » Tue Mar 22, 2022 9:57 am

Hi,
I was recently suspended for supposed spam. I looked at the report, and I don't believe this qualifies for spam whatsoever, and I plead for you to check it again.
On day 5, I had whispered people, alive, to ask for their roles. This was a ruse so I could whisper who I thought was witch, which I do later on, but I also wanted to blend in more to the role I had told town that I was. You can actually SEE the person who reported me I think, catch on to this, and say "look how 10 is whispering to hide he's witch/maf". I was trying to seem like a townie holding down the town and trying to get roles in a relatively close game. GF doesn't usually ask for your role.
I know it seems like spam, but this wasn't just mindless chatter, I was genuinely asking people for roles, not putting my favourite song lyrics into chat. I also asked each person once, I didn't spam a single person more than once.
I lastly never spammed open chat, i whispered each person individually only once. This doesn't qualify for SPAM, please look into it again. This isn't just a 7 day ban, it also puts me at one more chance before a perma ban when I've played this game since 2016? I lastly want to point out I whispered ONLY 5 people, not the WHOLE lobby.
Thanks a lot.

My bad, I'm really new to the forums sorry.
It commented below, can you see?
If you check what the report wants it says "DAY 5 WHISPER SPAMMING". As my maths teacher says, forgive me for insulting your intelligence, but that's what I was reported for. I literally whispered 5 people asking roles, that's it.
I beg you reconsider. I did not intentionally "spam" at all, I didn't think 5 whispers qualified for it either, and I never whispered them my favourite hobby or what I like to eat, I asked for a role, which I thought was valid to ask for.
Thank you kindly.

Greetings,

please note that sending multiple whispers with the same (or similar) content is considered spamming regardless if the whisper is sent to one or more players.

Hello,

"Avoid sending the same message multiple times, or many messages that are gibberish." are the exact words on the rules page.

This is quite vague, in this case I sent a message asking for roles to 5 people. This isn't spamming mindless words, I was asking for roles. Asking for roles isn't spam, it's part of the game. Was I supposed to switch it up??? Roles is a part of the game, and I could have asked publicly but that makes no difference and is slower. Asking for roles is not spam, it's a very viable thing that people do all the time, and I shouldn't be suspended for 7 days, and be on a last warning because of asking for roles..

Spamming does not have to be gibberish. Its usually repeating something multiple times. In connection to you it was sending five whispers with the same content in a short time, thus it would fall under the definition of spamming.

The rules are not clear on this at all.
Avoid sending the same message multiple times, with no clarification if this is meant to one person, and repeatedly spamming. I sent 5 to five, so I'm technically sending one message to 5 different people. That's not spamming though. If you sent me a message once, you haven't spammed me. If you send me that same one 5 times, you have. I sent only one to 5 people.
All the rules say is "avoid sending the same message multiple times", and is not clear at all, I did not send the same message multiple times to a single person. Back to my email example, it is not spamming as no one was directly spammed, I sent a single whisper to each person, so they can't say they were spammed. It makes no sense. I wouldn't find this that much but it's my last suspension. It's not spamming, the rules aren't clear on this, and this is a special case. No one was spammed at all.

Each whisper of yours triggers a "[x] is whispering to [y]"-message, so whispers will flood everyone's chat.
That aside is the message'S content important not their "target", when its about whispers and spamming.

Report is valid and valid suspensions may not be appealed.

Appeal Denied.
I have mostly rescinded my role as Admin.

All previous contact should instead be redirected to Flavorable.

If your inquiry doesn't directly have to do with Trial 2.0 or TrialBot, then please refrain from messaging.

Thank you.
