It's the biological inaccuracies for me.

Your body has a defence mechanism I'm sure we all know as immunity. The idea is you get sick, and then you don't get sick again.

To get more into detail, your body has cells called B-lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are each unique, all different and all ready to deal with a different kind of pathogen, even if it's unknown.

When you get a disease for the first time, your body doesn't actually know which B cell can deal with that pathogen. So it spends some time trying to work out which B cell can deal with the virus, and then once it is found, the cell multiplies as it produces the antibodies to deal with the infection.

This process takes up to 15 days. During that time you will fall ill, and then recover towards the end.

Now your body has Memory B-lymphocytes. These will remember the virus and act much quicker and more efficiently - 3 times faster and producing 100 times more antibodies.

What vaccination does is it gives you a dead form of the virus. It's just the viral shell, really, but your body doesn't know that and reacts to it in the same way. It ensures that your response to the virus will be quicker and more efficient than if you were unvaccinated.

But it doesn't make things perfect. A lot of people think vaccine should equal you never get sick, but that's just not the case. Even in an immune person with memory cells it still takes the body several days to have enough lymphocytes and antibodies to properly deal with the infection. Often the virus doesn't incubate in that time or present any symptoms but it still does, and it still can.

If you're vaccinated and you fall ill with what is confirmed to be coronavirus, it means you've gotten a pretty aggressive bugger. Which is not unrealistic, and not taking into account that viruses like to mutate which can present difficulties. But if you weren't vaccinated and got that same sickness, your response is going to be 3 times slower and much, much less efficient.

The vaccine by and large turns hospitalisations into a "sit home and rest" situation. It turns sitting home and resting situations into being asymptomatic and just waiting for your body to flush it out.

Just because people are getting sick with the vaccine doesn't mean it isn't working. It just means they would've gotten more sick had they not been vaccinated.

Rant over.

As I said the death threats were too far. But you cannot claim innocence in this situation, for an argument to be an argument there must be two parties involved. You were both as bad as each other up until that point.

Video has muted both parties for a minimum of 12 hours.

None of you should go without punishment. You were both immature, senseless, and ignored three warnings from the discord moderator at the time.

After video told you both to end the argument, you then started taking jabs at each other and argued about continuing the argument.

Obviously death threats were too far but I still believe both parties should face punishment.

With you not having reached the required 3 hours for your reinstatement (you have just 14 minutes activity in the past 7 days), I am denying this reinstatement.

Due to reports from others of your activity being an issue for quite a while, I am going to impose that you must wait 30 days before you may try to reinstate again.

I can get on with flarum just fine personally, but this is the big hitter for me. And there's no real feasible solution to get around that, since another tf platform for that has too small of a market.

↩  StevenNL2000 I would argue some form of block logging should stick around for the regular run of the mill griefing. It still happens on plotworld servers when someone adds the wrong player to their plot and it gets griefed. Would definitely be more commonplace if it wasn't logged as well.

Where does this stand in relation to what you said on your reinstatement? In particular, the bit where you said

if I attempt to reinstate anytime before Jan 2022, please auto deny it. I may say "I have changed my mind" but just disregard it, and deny the app. I don't want to reinstate again. Treat it like a suspension.

I don't intend on fully holding you to your word here, by the way.

I suppose I should add in the context - he was orbited for trolling while invisible. That's literally what happened.

Object. The only way I see that we could feasibly make this possible is to check for no coreprotect logs in the area (i.e, the chunks are new), to avoid trolls claiming other people's builds. Which would boil the idea down to claiming your very own patch of blank land that nobody can grief. Which is the definition of a plot.

Can we add "Erin's birthday" for June 6? I'm VERY important, and there's no other birthdays on that date.

Vouch. Someone on the forum homepage doesn't necessarily need to see the indefinite ban request format or the admin application info but does need to see them in their respective sections.

↩  Ivan Yeah I mentioned it in voting (before I became videos assistant) that the applicant wasnt exactly the most active (playtime in last 14 months is less than the monthly required for admin), but since this wasn't reviewed when it should've been I have given a week for the 3 hours, as a benefit of doubt.

Approved, welcome back to the team. I've added you in game, and on discord as well.

Let us know if you need retraining, but from what I've seen from you in game, you should be fine!

Approved, welcome back!

Don't forget to add yourself back with
tf!ac saconfig add Vodkabunni when you're next online.

Approved, welcome back!

Don't forget to add yourself to saconfig via

Let myself or any other of the admin team know if you need help refamiliarising yourself with the commands.

I'd personally go lower. Players are more likely going to build above their plot than they are going to dig underground. Somewhere 30-50 sounds nice to me.

Wayy, congrats to charge, shame about that one entry in his namehistory but we can brush over that, nobody's perfect.
