my ban

↩ @'Ryan'
if you suspended me for this argument that prove my point even more

↩  uvb You make the bold assumption there that I will lose any sleep or care in any way?

no no, just saying that it would prove my point

I think this has been spun a little. He wasn't banned out of the blue for changing his profile picture to the companys profile, he had been sanctioned multiple times in recent months on the different platforms for being a bit of a wind-up to say the least. That winding up continued, he pretended to work for atlas as a joke, and here we are now.

I feel this image has went under the radar and has been ignored by everyone who has responded to this thread, even when it was directly addressed to one the topic was changed.

He claimed to work for the company, which I would definitely argue is worthy of a sanction of some sort. And considering Ivan's track record, I'm not surprised that the most severe punishment was given - he had been given chances to wise up in the past and didn't take them. If not for violating the copyright law, which I can sympathise with seems severe, at least under the community guideline "Don't pretend to be something you're not", which would probably go under serial rulebreaking after that.

I would personally keep the ban as a regular indefinite from all platforms with the usual chance to appeal like any other.

But yeah, I see this as a completely reasonable ban. Not out of the blue, not just for a profile picture.

Anyways vouch for unban bcuz kids game.
ban again if further violation occurs

FWIW, this is the "Further Violation"… It's why the ban was issued rather than further warnings.

I'll check what I originally set the ban as, and if on reflection it was too harsh it'll get adjusted.

And you've lost any chance of sympathy from me.

Ban won't be reviewed, it's been promoted to Cat 0
