Why were you banned? Creating unnecessary lag in Omega with Arrows despite being warned.

There really is no good place to start this so here we go. For those who don't know me, I'm mindblaster007, a banned player who has been around since 2017. During my four to five year run on Loka, I've been warned more times than I can remember, muted a handful of times for saying immature stuff in global chat, as well as flaming both in-game, on Discord, and here, on the forums, and banned a total of four times.

To start, I wanted to share my remorse for the countless things I've done. During my tenure on Loka, I was constantly breaking rules, starting fights, and trying to loophole around the rules on countless occasions. I was also extremely dishonest and in doing so overall didn't just hurt my relationship with the player base and staff, but with my friends as well. I used my friends to lie and try to conceal any wrongdoing. The sad thing is my dishonesty didn't just end there, I was manipulative as well. During my appeals and the times around my bans, I attempted to lobby more vulnerable players to +1 my appeals by sharing cropped-out screenshots that were missing complete context, as well as spreading rumors. Finally, I would also like to express my deepest apologies for the times I've evaded my ban on the Loka Discord, and for the self-righteous claims I made about myself on the wiki and the changes I made to a few articles around a year and a half ago that resulted in my ban from the wiki.

In short, I've been anything but honest in the past with anything Loka and there isn't truly anything I can say other than an apology to all the players I've caused harm to, especially the ones I took advantage of and manipulated, and to the staff team, for all the time and patience of theirs I've wasted.

I know time alone is no indicator of whether or not I truly have changed my demeanor, learned to avoid toxicity, and changed my dishonest ways. I understand that a determining factor of an appeal is if a player's overall character has changed for the better is key, so I want to point out a few things. Throughout the past year, year and a half, I have had no ties to Loka outside the occasional message with staff in hopes to get my forums account unbanned, and the occasional glance at the forums and the Terra Discord Server. I have also released, as a sign of good faith, the recording I had of my computer when I was banned, that I shared with staff around a year ago. Both of these things are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things but they do show I've been staying out of Loka drama and have tried to repair the bridges I've burned. Sadly, because I haven't stayed in contact with people at Loka, I in turn don't have anyone who can actually vouch that I've changed.

Either way, everyone please do enjoy your day.

Seems sorry Also 2 years ago
But unfortunately I don't think he will get unbanned because I saw people get banned for much less and not get unbanned despite waiting for a while
 
I've been talking to Mindblaster for a while now since his ban. The interactions I've had with him after he was banned from Loka, were all positive and enjoyable. It's been night and day with him, and I do genuinely believe that he has made MASSIVE improvements to his behavior towards people. I think he would be able to safely come back to Loka without repeating his past mistakes.
I've been hoping for a while now that he might be able to return, because it would be cool to see how much he can accomplish now that he has made so much improvement to himself.
I hope this information helps! Please let me know if there's any other information that I can supply to help.

Wow, has it been that long already? Hopefully you've grown up in that amount of time.

To mindblasters credit, he disconnected from the community entirely. Also, people who typically don't get unbanned after waiting for extended periods of time often have examples of poor behaviour from other servers.

I'm definitely leaning into more for your unbanning simply because this was a good appeal and more than anything your immaturity and constant weird behaviour was the largest contributor to the ban.

You did very well in acknowledging your shortcomings and being honest. Well done man.
 
We are willing to lift the ban due to the well-written appeal (We appreciate you owning up to past mistakes) and the length of time that has passed. We hope you have grown in the time you have spent away from the server and will now be a productive member of the community. As with all unbans you will remain on a warning so please refresh yourself with our rules.
