My Recent Experience With Loka

Im writing this post to show my overall distaste and poor experience i've had with loka currently, especially surrounding my ban

The Ban

When I got banned after my screenshare, I truly was in shock since I know i wasnt cheating. Me and TgsHalo had high hopes for this tournament believing that we would win, I was hoping to win 2 2v2 tourneys in a row and he was hoping for this to be his 3rd. We played an excellent tournament up to the finals (being said that the opponents we faced werent "high level" players) and when we got to the finals I was frozen. Which i already had predicted was coming due to my tier list ban. I told TgsHalo that I would quickly pass the screenshare and we would be able to continue our tournament. As you may know, we werent able to continue as I was permanently banned following the screenshare.

Anyone in this situation would be rightfully pissed, I was banned for seemingly no reason and when I asked staff in dms what I flagged or how to resolve this, I was subsequently ghosted with no response. the ONLY staff I could get in touch with was ThePigGang, who told me to wait until he could come to understand the situation.

This brings me to another point, the way staff handled my ban.

As i stated before I asked why I was banned to multiple staff members, with piggang being the only one not to ghost me, and without his help I may have not been unbanned. Now, as ive come to understand it staff did not want to disclose the reason for my ban because they "didnt want me to create bypasses that I could use in the future" This is idiotic, considering I was banned from OCEAN FLAGS. It would make sense for them not to tell me if they had found anything in manual SS, as i could create bypasses, however I can quite literally just run ocean on MYSELF, which is what I had to do to prove my ban false. So tell me, why keep this information private when I can just run the scan on myself? The only reason why I was able to figure out it was ocean is because I was watching the screenshare so intensely and noticed they opened ocean. I want you to imagine a player who WASNT watching the screenshare closely, or left their computer for about 5 minutes, they would have absolutely ZERO lead on what could have caused their ban. Instead (as quoted from mimo4) you have staff members acting all smug in public chat about the ban saying "If you want to know what hacks she used, ask her yourself" Now I understand ocean staff said i was cheating, yes and i would agree that it would warrant a ban IF I hadnt consented to a manual SS, but GUESS what, I DID consent to a manual SS and after screensharing me for an hour and 30 minutes and still finding NOTHING, staff still decided to ban me. No wonder loka has such a poor reputation for their staffs screensharing capabilities, and I want to return to a point earlier to really make it clear, If i hadnt been watching and recognized ocean as one of the tools they used, I would not be unbanned right now, and I would still be ghosted by staff if I asked what was the reason for my ban.

Not to mention, figuring out what flagged and how to get unbanned was an absolute FUCKING headache, Instead of Loka staff looking into it to confirm their ban, they left it to the PLAYER to try and figure it out. I was working on this for HOURS after my ban to try and figure out why it flagged, I talked to some of the best minecraft screensharers to get it figured out and we were still struggling, It wasnt until Kylaz was able to trigger the false flag with Lunar Fabric

I then presented this to piggang again, who said he would bring it up in staff chat and to post it on my appeal

Aftermath

I have hated this whole situation and it has been a massive headache for me, TgsHalo and I were essentially completely robbed out of a tournament we had high hopes for and believed that we could win, even after being unbanned, we are not able to redo the final match. And to get what? An "apology" from staff? thats it? The way you guys were acting after my ban was irritating and obnoxious. It's stressful when the community turn on you and call you a cheater because staff banned you for a pretty idiotic reason, and it was annoying to try and figure out how to resolve it. I believe that I should be compensated (in orbs) for putting me through this entire situation, its proper compensation for putting an innocent player through this mess. Thank you

Huge thank you to piggang for helping me through the situation, like I said without him I most likely wouldn't be unbanned right now

Also thanks to everyone who believed me when I proclaimed my innocence, and helped me get unbanned by providing proof of false flags.

Reiwas explanation was understandable and clear but it would have been a lot better if certain staff members were more cooperative after Tedzi was banned rather than acting like assholes “ask them yourself if you want to know what hack”.

I believe that Tedzi should sue LOKA and be compensated in a similar manner to how people who sue the state are after they are sent to prison for years and then proven innocent.

LOKA must also consider scheduling a tournament final between Tedzi TgsHalo and Jail Cw so we can finally know who the true champions of LOKA are. Have a great day and stay safe everyone you never know when the authorities might wrongfully arrest and imprison you

Sadly this is not the first instance that Loka staff have false banned a player, and then proceeded to mistreat them. I have personal experience with this. My friend oekoe was false banned around 2 months ago for "harassment". The ban was completely false, obviously so, and it took a week to get him unbanned and that required effort from my part because I had to reach out to staff directly (who were completely ghosting oekoe). A player by the name of Hoodoo2015 said a slur on a different server and both SweHarry and oekoe were banned for this because they had a similar IGN history.

I think it is completely unfair that my friend got falsely banned, and then was ignored by multiple staff members, and that the only reason he was unbanned was because I had to reach out to staff directly and explain that they were different people (when a simple /find could have prevented all of this). It is just very stupid that innocent players can be falsely banned like this because of a lack of effort from staff. I think Loka should make it easier for players who think they have been treated unfairly to communicate with staff and explain their situations.

why are u banned on tier list then, but the rest i can totally agree
I'm happy to expand on this as I always have been to anyone who was willing to ask.

Tedzis reason for being banned on the list was and to the best of my knowledge for random inconsistent usage of cheats (proved to be during a test on an occasion) and her overall willingness to closet cheat, the tierlist has always been pretty firm on executing decisions as such even if it was far in the past (which the last instance i could confirm was atleast a few months ago) I myself was relatively confident she never used these cheats on Loka and attested to that,

They 100% deserved hacking subhuman however I never went as far to label them as a outright through and through closet cheater.


Whilst I'm here I will touch on this situation, I'm someone who's always thought very fondly of Loka staff, and honestly still do, I think there's a new generation of staff that are largely more in touch with the community and are more pvp focused and came up through loka that way compared to the old form of staff - Older, more mature and less involved / ego influenced staff members. - Again this is not to critique all other new staff or those who fall under that description, it's just a note in the difference from the past and now. I think it is disappointing to see how staff reacted to the situation, I mean it would be one thing if it was undeniable that Tedzi was cheating and Loka had the most solid proof of that fact, but for staff to deflect in the manner they did with such confidence is pretty disappointing and pathetic, passing all the burden of proof onto a victim that obviously can't provide it because it's untrue.

I think all staff who partook in such actions will learn from it and I find it unlikely we'll see this again.

For example me having full knowledge of why he was placed on Tierlist hacking subhuman (It was me who handled it) didn't personally believe he was cheating in the tournament:

nobody cares, its minecraft. Stop looking for sympathy on a forums post.
Your response is inherently contradictory, by saying “stop attention seeking” you are inherently seeking attention. The form of “not caring” is to not respond at all instead you seem to have a critical need for inputting where you don’t need to input

Every time you reply to this you are reinforcing your point you care to this I highly encourage you to cease posting
