Why was I banned from the forum?

    For the record I am fssp (https://forum.totalfreedom.me/u/fssp) and the sole reason I made this account is to submit this post because I have no other way of getting through to Wild that I am aware of.


    The last post I made with my forum account was in an off-topic thread and I can't imagine how it could have done anything to offend, put off, or break the rules:

    How is Ryan going to shut down the server without the owner's (Shrimp's) permission? 😕

    My forum account was suspended for ~10 years with no reason and I would either like to know why or appeal to the community to see it unbanned because I do not feel that I shouldn't be able to post here.

    Also, if you happen to be Wild and are reading this thread while it's being manually approved, I would ask that you at least grace my post with a reply instead of dismissing it outright.

    You were indefinitely suspended from the forums, the 10 year thing is a issue where Flarum can't actually indef ban due to bad development approaches.


    As for the reason, I'm fairly sure you ended up getting indef banned under what was previously Category 0.C and potentially Cat 0.A.


    Unfortunately Flarum doesn't have the ability to list reasons, and I agree your "Final" post probably wasn't what triggered the ban. I believe you were originally intended to be globally Cat 0.C banned, but I never got around to indef banning you in game for that reason, which is an oversight on my part more than anything else.

    For transparency what was the reason?

    Any action / content (of any sort) which brings the reputation of ATLAS Media Group Ltd or its projects (Which include TotalFreedom) into disrepute.

    The reason was around the ongoing advertisement and promotion in game and on here around the community he runs which encourages and facilitates illegal topics, and has targeted this community on more than one occasion.


    I also believe as an extension of this violations under UK Law (The Computer Misuse Act) were committed, which was the Cat 0.A aspect to the ban.


    Ultimately the user has been directly and indirectly disruptive to the community, enabled targeted attacks against this community and as such they were removed from the community. The lack of an in-game ban was down to my lazyness rather than anything else.

    I'm at this point going to lock the thread, the user is Cat 0 banned, this new account is now also indef banned due to it being an alt account of a banned player.


    For future reference banappeals@totalfreedom.me is the e-mail address for appeals where the user cannot access the forums, though again given this is a Category 0 ban, it's not one I will allow appeals for anyway.
