    Naively account sharing = perma ban and tarnished reputation
    Protecting a sexual harasser = 6 yr veteran admin who we should all trust and defend

    This is some twisted fucking logic. This is just one instance that has been brought to light thanks to June's bravery. I can only imagine all the other instances of nepotism that occurred in the past 6 years.

    I have never doubted Kai's judgment and was incredibly sad to see him resign. He was never granted the ability to call/appeal in private to Tim like Raony did. He was perma-banned, and accepted that. Raony literally sexual harassed a girl, and got to walk away with his friend Tim. We are too occupied with our roles in this game to focus on protecting our community. People literally get banned for *joking* about hacking- but not for an inappropriate comment about a real person in game?

    While yes, it is hypocritical of her to behave this way and important to address, I'd say we should not let that undermine the fact that Raony's behavior is still inappropriate and how the staff handled it is also obviously biased.

    You're missing the whole point of wanting Administration to be impartial because "b-b-but you're bad too"
    YYUMMMY, Don, Sharu, and whoever else played an active participant should be banned for harassing your friend.
    We want to solve the problem, not shift the goal post.

    Yeah, I acknowledge that and don't agree with Raony's behavior. But she's just a bit of a hypocrite to me is all. -shrugemoji-

    This 48-hour rule on reporting harassment is the most unexplainable rule ever. This is a clear example of what happens when you legislate for one specific instance without considering the overall effects of the rule you're imposing. But this, of course, could not have been expected to be taken into consideration from a group of admins who blatantly disregard people's rights day by day through ban appeals and targeted bans and don't really care about one of the most important stakeholders of the game: its users.

    There are literally tons of feedback threads proposing new rules and that has to go through the most exhausting democratic process ever, where you have conservatives who just don't really seem to empathise with anyone just because they don't suffer the consequences of what is being reported and say the game is just fine. Who justify admins constantly manipulating ban appeals process to make it even harder for someone to defend themselves. The ban appeal that generated all this turmoil is a clear example of how wrong ban appeals are handled in terms of respecting basic rights. As a lawyer, it is the most tilting experience watching how all this goes through.

    Then after all that is happening, deciding to coerce others and force them to impose a rule that you didn't take more than 5 minutes to realize it is pretty harmful to victims of sexual harassment just goes to show what is the specific priorities in here. Nepotism/favouritism is one of the most pernicious instances of corruption but corruption has been going all along in how everything is handled in general. What we must understand is that rules are not being imposed to help the players, they are being put in place to simply maintain the status quo of not giving two cents of care for the player's interests.

    I would longer expose why imposing a 48-hour rule on harassment cases is really unfair and just looking to preemptively limit reports of conducts that are clearly harmful to the community. But we all know none of our opinions matter. Our opinions were not consulted to impose the rule. They won't matter now.

    Tim didn't ban you. I'm referring to the RWTers. Read my text before you make bullshit accusations as usual.

    ITS HER RIGHT TO FEEL OFFENDED. Being a friend isn't any excuse for whatever shit u did. if I am a friend of you and we used to slap each other for fun I can just come over and slap u today and ITS YOUR RIGHT TO FEEL OFFENDED AND MAKE A REPORT OF IT. WHAT YOU DID IN THE PAST SHOULD NOT LIMIT you FROM ACTING ON WHAT you FEEL TODAY.

    Its Roany's fault. He gave people the chance to make use of it to attack him (even in your account, they are both friends). The best way to TO SIMPLY NOT DO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BRING YOU PROBLEM.
    This is my last time trying to explain something that's so basic to a bobo.

    Well articulated. The admins don't serve your needs. They only move to serve their own. Tim unbanned Raony so he could have his buddy back in the single, most selfish move I've seen in staff. Raony wasn't even banned permanently. He only had to serve a 7 day ban, and Tim didn't even intervene when I asked for feedback on the report. I did not make this decision alone; I asked the staff chat on what their thoughts were and got feedback from the same GMs that said it was okay to unban when Tim threatened to leave otherwise.

    Why bother arguing with a toxic troll? Just do a quick search in blacklist thread.

    harrasment covers a wide range of behaviours, its not black and white, so if i know both side in that story and both of them will agree that i know them enogh for that then i will give my objective opinion in this case.

    seems like the new rules seem to protect some people / some forces secretly?

    "harassment covers a wide range of behaviours"
    you said so yourself
    if that's the case, why are YOU trying to say that this isn't?
    because you know both sides.
    CLEARLY you don't
    because the person DOES feel harassed.
    when someone feels harassed the relationship between the two parties is irrelevant.
    sure they could have joked around that in the past, but circumstances change.
    friends, family members, loved ones all have stepped over the line.
    when you step over the line, you have officially stepped into harassment.

    you're right. when two parties are joking and they're both laughing, then sure it's fine.
    but if one party is offended. done. joke's over. period.

    Time to say something.Sorry for my bad English

    Below ban appeal is famous in China,ans also,I think its the most unfair I have seen.
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/ban-appeal.148230/

    Let's see what Tim replied in this ban appeal:
    "how come you can hit meteor and genesis at the same time from the same computer as you're farming in a map?"
    "running a bot is also very common in ULU1 maps"
    "how would you be getting a fast connection from china?"
    "a fast vpn wouldnt make your connection to our servers that much faster"

    Now trio mage duku is common in game,its time to ban all duku seller,we all joking about him banned for one step ahead of the era

    However,not come singly but in pairs
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/ban-appeal.149894/
    Now ppl cant see what time Tim replied,but i still remember that day,you checked only few mins and then unban him

    My last job have free time so i can watch forum when working,I have read really really a lot thread
    Do people watch those for fun?
    No,in those thread,you can see GM's emotions from his tone.You can see he is serious about doing things,or he just stick to his own opinions cos he doesn't want to pocket one's pride.

    I still remember my tears when read one thread cos I got scammed before and finally I saw someone banned for scam
    Here post my favorite ban appeal
    https://royals.ms/forum/threads/i-wast-banned-for-nothing.160324/#post-943770
    Guys,what a good GM who will considers players
