Hello fellas, Calvary here. My deepest apologies for using an alt-account. Frankly I do not mind if this one gets banned as well, but I'm going to out myself here for the sake of proof.
My main account was banned, both forum-wise and game wise. Many others, not just me, with valid proof, have also been banned.
"Why can't you just ask the reason for your ban?"
As I said, many of us are banned in-game wise and forum wise, which means we cannot message any staff unless we dig around discord. Even then, many of the staff members have me blocked on discord, but I cannot speak for everyone else who also got banned. It is also apparent that no individual on the staff team can give anyone a direct answer to the reason regarding the ban. "This is a question for Sura" people will say.
"Why didn't you just DM the staff team about the topic instead of starting drama?"
First, this wasn't made to start drama. The censorship happened again with a post made by AppleCider. Keep in mind as well, fellow community members, that there isn't any reason you can't discuss the topic on the forums! Maybe it's something a group was genuinely curious about, and wanted to discuss to reach a possible conclusion.
Instead, the topic itself was met with removal, and prompted, the aggressive IP matching between two users where it was unnecessary. If you do not find this compromising or unsafe, I truly think you should reconsider what kind of game you are playing and who holds access to your information. Do you trust them with your personal info?
"Just leave the topic alone! Stop causing drama."
Now this. As much as I enjoy differing opinions, this is probably my biggest pet peeve. This is the same sort of mindset equivalent to why people get bullied. Why people don't speak out about their trauma. If everything was just swept under the rug, how long do you think it'll take before too much dust piles up under that rug? People aren't intending to cause drama. I'm not here to cause drama, but I am here to be clear. This sort of banning spree, the sort of assumption that these topics were brought up to stir the pot, that's what they are, assumptions.
If you truly believe everything and anything should just be swept under the rug, please be my guest. I have no qualms with that. What I have qualms about is trying to silence people who have the same rights to a voice as you do. Stop trying to shut everyone up just because it rocks the boat for you. Do not be a bystander to a problem, because then you are simply part of it. But you can choose to be if you really find that best suited for you.
I will be deleting this account following this post in order to protect my personal information.
I just beg you all to be a bit more open to the idea that this kind of behavior isn't okay. I also ask that anyone else posting on this thread holds the same amount of civility that Birdie did. Civility brings us peace, but I beg you to be more open and holding people accountable where they should be held accountable. Just because nothing happened to you doesn't make this situation fine and dandy.
Much love, I do hope those undeserving of their bans will be unbanned and a public apology will be issued.
