Welcome back!

Vouch. You've been banned for a long time (primarily, I think, due to your behaviour on your previous appeals). I'm cautiously optimistic that you are more mature now, based on this appeal.

Vouch because (assuming everything you said is correct) I think you realise it was a bad idea to try to use forceop in this way. It's been a while since you were banned and I don't think you'll try this sort of thing again.

Object.

If you return, I think it is very likely that others will be subjected to the same disgraceful behaviour that Alco (and others) had to deal with. It is important for player retention that this is not tolerated. I agree with Alco: you've focused this appeal very narrowly on just one of your offenses.

Come back later with an appeal that shows you understand how serious this is, and that reassures the community that you have changed and this nonsense will not be repeated.

I think Ryan is and has been very tolerant of criticism of him and his decisions. Criticism of Ryan is relentless. It is one thing when there is constructive criticism (which is of course fine), but unfortunately it is sometimes personal attacks. It is understandable why he considered shutting the server down: if people are just going to attack you on the server/forum you pay to run, you might not want to spend the money any more.

I agree with others that Ryan has brought stability. I don't see any major problem that would necessitate a change in ownership.

I voted no on this thread and oppose efforts to vote off Ryan.

Alco! Welcome back

In light of the recent announcement, I withdraw this suggestion.

This thread is fantastic news! Welcome back

↩  FromTimeToTime Good point - thanks. I hadn't thought about the potential consequences of this idea in the event that the server is resurrected. Looking at the suggestion again the idea of purging the ban list probably wouldn't be wise. I'll think more about what could be a more sensible approach.

Vouch but I want you to know that I'll support any indefinite ban request against you at the first sign of you starting to break rules again.

Vouch

I suggest the indefinite ban list is purged except for the most egregious cases. If not, I suggest the following:

1. All waiting times to appeal be cancelled e.g. anyone banned can appeal again as long as their last appeal was before the closure announcement.
2. Appeals are expedited

This is because there is a material change compared to when the appeals were originally made. I think it would be harsher than we intended to stop people returning to the server before it shuts down.

Vouch. I agree with you that you should be able to return and say goodbye to people. While I don't excuse what you said, I think it would be harsh to stop you from returning seeing as the server is closing.

Vouch

↩  You! DarkGamingDronze is a former admin (he became an admin around the same time I did). I can't verify that this is the same person but that's fairly easy for someone to do when he logs in to the server.

Welcome back!

Vouch for the reasons outlined above. You're highly competent and work hard. You'd be a brilliant senior.

Vouch and it is pretty obvious why. Steven is clearly qualified for this position from his forum contributions and his track record over the last several years on the server.

You've been a brilliant EAO and admin and I'm glad to have met you on the server. You dealt with very complex situations over your time skillfully and the server is stronger for it. Thank you for all you've done and it is great you're staying as a discord admin
Have a great time at university!

I remember your name from ages ago. Welcome back!

Welcome back!
I think someone was once told to log into a premium-only server to prove their identity, perhaps that could be used again?
