Ban Reason: Hate Speech
Ban Date: August 1st, 2024 (8/1/2024)
Last Appeal: June 20th, 2025 (6/20/2025)
More information about my ban: First Appeal, Second Appeal, Third Appeal
Greetings Loka staff and community,
It has been over a year since I was punished for my flawed behavior on the server with a permanent ban. With this being my fourth appeal, I found it difficult to write something genuine and coherent without repeating what I’ve already expressed, so my goal now is to be fully honest about the timeline of the steps I’ve taken after my ban that have led me to believe I’m finally ready to be reinstated. I encourage both staff and fellow community members to take a look at my previous appeals, which go into more specific details about the situation and my change in character.
Lastly
I once again ask all of you reading this to consider looking back at my previous appeals, where I apologized to the victims of my past behavior and to the community I failed. Before I close this off, I want to say that no matter the outcome of this appeal, it feels surreal to reflect on where I was at the time of my earlier appeals and on everything that has happened in the last year. I want to thank Loka not only for the time I had on the server and the fun I experienced, but also for the introspective look it gave me into myself.

Greetings Loka staff and community,

What I’ve Been Up To
As I said above, I want this appeal to be the most honest, transparent, and vulnerable I’ve been with everyone, including myself. With that being said, I want to admit that my road to redemption wasn’t as smooth as I described in my last appeals. Yes, I didn’t have any further controversies after my ban on Loka, as I knew deep down that my behavior was unacceptable, but for a time I still felt that my ban was unjust, and took the situation too lightly. That began to change once I truly considered that by acting the way I did, I wasn’t only hurting innocent people who weren’t responsible for my actions, nor did they deserve to be treated that way, but I was also hurting the people around me with my inconsiderate behavior. This stage of my development was when I wrote all three of my previous appeals — in a state of understanding, but still not ready to return to the community. The biggest shift happened around six months ago, right after my last appeal. Before then, I had been putting my real-life social life aside, which I believe hindered my ability to understand how wrongly I treated people in the past. By stepping back from the online space, taking real-life interactions more seriously, and meeting new people who helped shape me, I grew into the more mature and responsible person I consider myself to be now. I understand it’s odd to be this open about how it wasn’t always easy to recognize my mistakes and admit them, but I believe it’s necessary to be clear about what I’m doing differently now compared to when I was banned.Lastly
