Ban reduction Zio.@europe

[Zio]

Your Warcraft III username: Zio.
Realm/Gateway: europe
Why are you banned: ghosting
Why you should be unbanned:
2 weeks ban is too harsh. thats what others been getting for a 3rd offense, mine was second.

[SaberArturia]

Can't you just promise not to ban anymore. Telling us 2 weeks ban is too harsh because you did it the 2nd tile while others do it the third time just make it seems like you are prepared to do it the third time

@Zio
Ghosting bans are largely dependent on the amount of info being ghosted to an enemy player or team, and the ban's also having teamkill included with the ghosting ban, and not to mention it being increased because of being a second instance of you ghosting/teamkilling.

So, for you to understand why it's a 2 week ban:
1- You gave out quite a lot of unknown information to the enemy team.
2- You were teamkilling as well.
3- This isn't your first time being banned for such offenses.

For reference, here's the ban request that Zio was banned for.

Thats not true, i've never ghosted before. In fact, i didn't even know that was a thing really.

[sl4ck]

True, it was your first ban for ghosting, but you also intentionally didnt send at level 12 with your team and this isnt your first game ruining ban.
This + the sheer amount of info you leaked to the enemy made me give you a lengthy ban. And dont try to tell me you thought whispering your enemy the team's entire builds and when your team planned on sending was okay.

Code: Select all

(07:04 / Private) Zio.: we got 2 crossess over here

(15:32 / Private) Zio.: we are saving 12 to embarass you. i'm just going afk tho
(16:07 / Private) Zio.: i'll keep pushing so they don't realize i'm afk
(20:02 / Private) Zio.: 1 ghoul each
(24:04 / Private) Zio.: its a strong send going at you
(24:06 / Private) Zio.: be aware
(24:29 / Private) Zio.: 1 lock each, 1 com, and listas
(30:04 / All) Zio.: i don't care about ip ban, i'll just come back on a new account. i don't like stats chasers like mcfukin so i'm ruining you

2nd game ruining offense

Zio.#europe.battle.net is banned 2 weeks for ghosting & tk

I will let a different mod confirm or adjust the ban duration.

Considering the amount of info you ghosted, the fact you intentionally refused to send 12 + the fact you pretended to be afk, and everything all together - 2 weeks seems more than fair to make you think twice before pulling this type of behaviour; Your appeal so far seems to be based on "i shoulnd't be banned for 2 weeks", meaning that you thought that what you did was okay, as it would only give you a couple of days (for acting like a douche, basically).

You ruined the game intentionally (as you mentioned ingame), so i'm wondering what's so hard to understand here - What did you expect? 3 days for the behaviour you pulled ingame?

Unless you read the rules, understand them, and show some kind of compromise on not letting this happen again, your ban won't be getting reduced, that's for sure.

PS: Besides the ones copied from Sl4ck, there's a couple more (also very interesting):

(16:41 / Private) Zio.: should i leave so they get no gold from my spawn?
(21:48 / Private) Zio.: we rushing 12
(22:22 / Private) Zio.: just up king already
(22:24 / Private) Zio.: you gon need
(22:27 / Private) Zio.: i'm not sending tho
(23:57 / Private) Zio.: haha they gon be so pissed when i pretend to be afk 12
(24:40 / Private) Zio.: ok so now i pretend to go afk
(24:45 / Private) Zio.: they might want to pause
(37:41 / Private) Zio.: they sending 21
(37:43 / Private) Zio.: cuz i didn't send
(37:45 / Private) Zio.: 17

[Zio]

Ok, since most of you believe that is a fair ban duration i guess i gotta accept it, even though i still disagree on it.
I never said i shouldn't be punished, therefore i obviously agree i should be punished. I only disagree on the lenght of it.

[sl4ck]

The length is perfectly fine for this case.

Bans are based on intentions, damage, final outcome,etc. We approach each report differently, based on the aforementioned.

[sl4ck]

@Zio To avoid any further disagreements on ban durations in the future, please just stick to the rules and dont screw over your teammates.
