Ban Appeal Review Decision

Appealing User: mqpf (Discord ID: 1055614304575033394) Ban Type: Permanent (exact length unspecified) Ban Reason: Fabricated Discord Message / Staff Impersonation (V-TOS Violation) Staff Member: david.is59012

Evidence Reviewed:

• Ban Log Entry: Case #10346, Reason: "bye"

• Appeal Claim: User asserts they were banned due to a misinterpreted joke, claims David also "joked about it."

• Context: User generated and shared an inspect-elemental Discord message falsely implying a staff member used a racial slur. Message content was manipulated.

Moderation History:

• Case #10346: Permanent ban for staff-related impersonation/falsified message

• Case #9279: 2-hour mute for spam after being told to stop (January 4, 2025)

• Case #7767: Warning for inappropriate language (July 15, 2024)

Summary of Appeal: The user claims they did not engage in any wrongdoing and asserts the ban was related to a joke or error. However, logs and context confirm the user manually manipulated a Discord message via browser tools to make it appear as if a staff member said a slur, then posted or circulated that image.

Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Serious Violation of Community Trust

The offense directly violates multiple rules:

• [Section 1.5] Community Trust and Common Sense

• [Section 1.9] Forging, Falsifying, or Manipulating Evidence

• [Section 1.8] Platform Integrity (includes inspect element abuse or impersonation)

Falsifying staff messages, especially those involving racial slurs, constitutes a serious breach of trust and damages the integrity of the moderation process and the Mountain Interactive community. This behavior is not tolerated under any circumstance.

Outcome: The ban will remain in effect. No further appeals will be accepted at this time.

Users are reminded that impersonation, falsified messages, or misuse of developer tools to alter appearance of content is treated as an extreme violation. This type of conduct places undue strain on moderation staff and creates confusion or reputational harm to others.
