Ban Reason: Harassment
Ban Date: 01/19/2024
Discord: shnxd.
While I was punished, I would like to thank the Loka staff who answered my questions and helped me out.
Hello Loka community, I am Shnxd.
Part 1: What is harassment, and why was I banned?
Harassment, both in games and in general, refers to unwanted, disturbing, or hostile behavior directed at an individual. This behavior can be verbal, written, or physical and aims to disrupt someone’s gaming experience or target them.
Examples of in-game harassment:
Part 2: Who is Shnxd?
I have known and played on the Loka server for over two years. Initially, I didn’t like the server, but after playing for a month, I wanted to play daily. However, since I was younger at the time (around 13-14 years old), I ignored many rules and behaved like a toxic child. Because of this toxicity, I gained many enemies and groups of people who disliked me. I apologize to all of them and hope they can attribute my actions to my age. If anyone wants to reach out and reconcile, they can message me on Discord, and I’ll gladly talk to them.
Part 3: The first three months after the ban
I found out about my ban a day later. Since I didn’t know the exact sentence that led to my punishment, I opened a ticket on the Loka Discord. The staff informed me that I could appeal and needed to write one to proceed. Two months after my ban, I submitted my first appeal, which was rejected a month later. It was my first appeal, and since I didn’t fully understand the situation, I wasn’t able to explain myself well. After my appeal was rejected, I tried to find out what exact sentence led to my ban and discovered through the person who reported me, "4deshh," that it was triggered by a comment like, "Am I handsome, bro?" While talking to them, I noticed they were still being toxic, so I didn’t continue the conversation. Before my ban, I wasn’t playing much on Loka, and I didn’t care much about it. However, every day on Discord, people mocked me and cursed at me. I responded to them in kind.
Part 4: Between 4 and 7 months after the ban
Around the 4th month, I started wanting to play on Loka again and began regretting the insults I had used. Most of my friend group played on Loka, and since I couldn’t play with them or join in on group activities like ganks, I gradually tried to change myself. However, I was still arguing and using offensive language quite often. After these incidents, I submitted another appeal on July 19. During this time, "4deshh" was banned for insulting my god by saying "
" and "
" (I won’t translate these insults because I don’t want to include such offensive words in my appeal, but those who are curious can use Google Translate for Turkish). After submitting my second appeal, I received many +1 and -1 messages, but my appeal was rejected 20 days later, stating that not enough time had passed.
Part 5: Between 7 and 10 months after the ban
I slowly started to gain control over myself. I was cursing less and arguing with others less frequently, but it still wasn’t completely gone. Nine months after my ban, I submitted another appeal, which was automatically rejected after nine days because three months hadn’t passed since my last appeal. This was my mistake, as I miscalculated the months and didn’t realize it. After this, I stopped using Discord entirely. To be able to play on Loka again, I worked on quitting most of my bad habits (insults, toxicity, bullying).
Part 6: Between 10 and 13 months after the ban
In the 11th month, Discord was banned in my country, and I stopped using it entirely. I wasn’t arguing with anyone in Minecraft anymore, and to ensure this wouldn’t affect my next appeal, I started playing Minecraft much less and eventually stopped. For the past two months, I haven’t talked to anyone on Discord, and for the past six months, I’ve barely argued with anyone. Thanks to Loka, I overcame many bad habits. I improved myself and helped many people.
Part 7: Conclusion
Thanks to my ban on Loka, I recognized my mistakes and worked to fix them. I believe I am now worthy of the Loka server. Thank you for reading this appeal. I would appreciate it if you could provide your feedback objectively. Have a good day, Loka community.
