Minerealm Community Forums

Well, here I am in the ban thread again, and it isn't to comment on other people's appeals this time.

Clarifying in advance, this appeal is solely for a lift on the IP/Permanent Forum Ban.

I'll be straightforward. I was recently permanently forum banned for a signature I added to my profile that was.. provocative, would be the best word. It was intended as a joke, and I'd planned to remove it within a day or two. Of course, that didn't go over well, and I won't lie and say the ban was entirely unexpected. At the same time, I meant no offense, and the signature did not contain profanity. It did not contain lewd images, and was not a link to either.

I would, however, like to apologize for the tactless way I used it. While it was intended as a joke, it wasn't taken as one, and it's perception that matters here. I'm sorry that it offended, and that I chose such a crude, albeit joking, gesture.

I am aware that an appeal is supposed to be for both a forum account and the in-game account. However, I have almost no intention of being on the game, or a method to be on regularly. Appealing the in-game ban I granted myself when I left would be pointless and a waste of time for the moment, and I am willing to undergo a seperate appeal for it when I am both interested in and able to play regularly.

dlgn, I'd like to personally clarify something. My comments saying that I liked your thread were, and still are, genuine. The writing style reminds me of a book that I have read multiple times, that I like rather a lot. If I hadn't liked your Intelli Saga thread, I would have ignored it or outright said so. I'm not in the habit of being sarcastic in text, unless I make it glaringly and painfully obvious. I am also not in the habit of praising something if I think it's worthless.



I'd like to thank you in advance for observing basic forum etiquette and reading my appeal.

Thanks, Ryu.

Also, +1. Obviously. The celestial demons will sacrifice Intelli if we don't unban Ryu's forum account.

Always behind Mr. Ryu.
Not just because he offered me cake.
He is a very good person! Unban!
I will get you cake to celebrate your unbanning!!!

Le' Bump. Once per day, as is the agreed to custom, laid down in the olden days, when things were logical and fair.

+1 I think that Ryu_aurora is awesome and is very mature. He knows what he has done and has lived up to it. hope to see you soon

I give my support, any player from the golden days of Minerealm should be given a free ticket on the Minerealm Bro-train.

Even if Ryu has no affinity to play as of now, that does not mean we shouldn't agree to his pleas of being able to share his love with the community on the forums.

If I'm understanding this correctly, Ryu was forum banned for some offense against dlgn, right? And the very first reply to this appeal was dlgn voicing his support for Ryu's unbanning? This seems like one of the easiest appeal decisions ever

My calrification and apology to dlgn was something I just felt was neccesary. I'm 95% sure it had nothing to do with why I was banned.

Wasn't Ryu staff?
