Ban Reason : Assisting Ban evasion

Ban date : 2025/01/03 ( 3month ago )

I was Banned for Assisting ban evasion because i was a voucher of 2lu, everyone knows as hacker. Let me explain the whole timeline. First, 2lu is turkish so he needed voucher to play loka. He asked help to Xpera, Xpera asked to aquaxol who is my friend if he knew any diapot player, and he said yes. He knew two diapot main friends, zqqe and me so he made a groupchat to help them. 2lu asked me to vouch him and i accepted it because i didn't think nothing would happen and it was safe. but he was hacker, so i was banned together with 2lu.

I didn't know about 'vouch' properly at that time because Loka staff explained what vouch is but it was hard to understand for me. although i didn’t know vouch correctly I vouched 2lu because of my thought that nothing would happen, and the result of trusting people easily was ban. this is the consequences of my immaturity. I will do my best not to make happening like this again. Also, i haven't break any rules in my 1.5years loka life.

Thank you for reading my deficient appeal to the end.

+1 I believe it should be a tempban if you truly didn't know he was an alt and your friends misled you. However, I do have to speak up for PartayArc, blaming her for you misunderstanding doesn't seem fair. The wording for when you are asked to confirm vouching for someone is:

The player "username" claims to know you and has triggered our automated system on Loka. Would you be willing to vouch for them and confirm they are not an alt account? Just to be clear, if you do and they turn out to be an alt you will also be banned (if they break other rules, you won’t be banned for being their voucher, just if they are found to be an alt).

I bolded the part where it makes it very clear that if you vouch for an alt, you will be banned as well. I'm not sure how it could be worded differently to be easier to understand.

Still, even though he was misled by his friend, he should always be careful when vouching for other players. You can’t just get banned because you vouched for the wrong person and blame everything on your friend. And no, assisting ban evaders should never result in a temporary ban. It's your own mistake, so it’s your own consequence.

for as long as I have known chani, he hasn't broken any rules and is always great to be around. This was a combination of misunderstandings and very naive thinking on his part. I don't remember anything "bad" happening to him throughout the time he played on the server, so I can understand why he was inclined to blindly trust what 2lu was saying, (if i'm being honest, he had quite literally no reason not to trust them, as no negative precedent was set), especially if the request came from a friend.

+1, because this was an honest and stupid mistake, and he got taken advantage of. (+ it would be nice to see screenshots of the conversations with the supposed alters)

On a sidenote, while I agree that with Loka being such a unique server comes the very real risk of mass alting, I believe the current alt-banning system is way too harsh, and overly punishes players for trusting others, when trust is literally the basis on which vouches work. As it stands, anyone could theoretically get banned through assisting ban evasion if someone is dedicated enough to get people to believe they aren't an alt...

I agree, in the end it is his own decision to vouch, he can refuse even if his friends impose on him, but it seems that he chose not to refuse and the admins should have warned that it could be a alt acc vouching for an unknown person can have such consequences

He should've read the rules before vouching for someone whom he didn't even know. I know Chani is a good person, and all the +1s are mostly because of that, and I understand it, but being totally honest, it's only been 3 months for assisting ban evasion, and I personally think that's too soon to appeal. However, I hope you the best of luck because the appeal seems genuine.
