Ban Appeal for LadyAnime

LadyAnime

What is your in-game name ? LadyAnime

What date were you banned ? 01/10/2021

Who banned you ? Mavinha

Why were you banned ? "creating drama"

Why do you want to be unbanned ? Because I did not do anything wrong. I was helping a scared player and got caught in the crossfire. I was begged to join the discord which I do not normally participate in. I was then abandoned by the person wanting me to go to the vc. I was with the players all of who were minors, and one of them wanted very badly to express their appreciation for the events and provide some feedback. This was suppose to be a discussion/conversation as they felt they could not write down what they were feeling and wanted feedback from the staff actively. They asked me to be with them in the VC. I agreed but only to be there as moral support. This person wanted to talk to a single staff memeber. Suddenly not only did multiple staff join the call but other players. I asked the other players to please leave as they knew the requester was already nervous. Since that request went unheard I asked if staff could move the player to another channel where the discussion could be private. This was taken the wrong way apparently. Screaming ensued ( not by me ) and the player eventually was able to express their appreciation and concerns. I was there to support them because they were scared and nervous. I think this ban is entirely unfair as I was only in the discord because a STAFF member asked me to. If I am unbanned I will not join the discord again or talk to anyone that is apart of this server in DMs outside of the founders, who can pm me if they need to. The only exception I had made to this personal rule I had created for myself was one staff member and then when Staff asked me to join the vc I did what they asked. I have broken no in game rules or discord rules. I have done nothing but I am very sorry for how people see me and what they think of me. Doge was my home for a long time and I would never do anything to cause upset on purpose
. Thank you for your time in reading this.

I would like to explain to you the reasons that led up to this event. Coming from the perspective of the other staff member involved, whilst in the voice chat you were bashing the staff team, events, and the server to players from the community. Coming from MadamWheat, the staff member involved, who left the vc out of frustration you then demanded to be moved to staff channel, which she found to be inappropriate and unnecessary. And this is coming from an unbiased side regarding the events that have taken place since your return. The reasons that have led up to your ban first and foremost have came from negative comments made towards staff members and their abilities, and that the community is nothing without you. These types of comments being made, if not properly addressed now would have led up to toxic behavior and actions to take place and would have created animosity between players and staff members. We did what was best to keep the community a positive environment where staff is well-viewed. We have a great staff team, and sure things may be different now but Dogecraft and the community is always evolving. Just because there may not be older players on the server no longer does not mean that the community has died. Coming from Niko himself, the community has doubled since your absence on the server. Personal reports from staff members have been made regarding constant Pm’s from you, in which you bash the server and the abilities of the staff team more so. We appreciate your willingness to help players, but may I remind you that you are no longer staff. And we do not want to create any unwanted confusion between players and yourself when it comes to who is and is not staff. We believe it to be best to separate you from the players and the community, to prevent this foreseeable animosity and the drama that has taken place already between you and other staff members via PM or voice chat.

Dear Dogecraft community,

The decisions made by staff regarding LadyAnime are ones that were made final and are not going to change. I personally, along with other staff members found this to be the most beneficial when it came to keeping the community an overall positive place. 01Vanna responded to the original ban appeal made by LadyAnime, but this was an overall group decision where various staff members gave in their input. 01Vanna simply transcribed the response to the appeal and then posted the response. The blaming and the accusations made regarding the decision should only be put on the founders of Dogecraft, not our staff team members. I know this has caused some dividing among the community regarding old and new players, but this is a decision that will not be changing. At first, roughly a year ago it was decided to demote LadyAnime but still give her a chance to be a part of the community. Which she then hindered by creating issues no longer only online but in my real, personal life (Contacting my relatives). But she willingly decided to leave the server and only recently began to play and be a part of the community again. When she came back, neither myself or other staff members brought up the past, that was a decision made by LadyAnime herself to do so. Which she proceeded to do in voice chat and in-game, but she was welcomed with open hands by the staff team and community. Unfortunately, not long after coming back she began to message other staff members about how the community was ran in a negative connotation. While we found this to be an immediate red flag, she decided to then attempt to manage and over-see staff’s decisions and or abilities. After her being served with the permanent ban, there was also an option for her to come back in the far future. But her actions after she has been banned to continue to private message players and attempt to divide the community, has led to this option to no longer be possible. A player will never be banned from the community without a justifiable cause, but if we deem your actions to be detrimental to the community you will be warned and later removed.
