Because we all make mistakes

This is the thread for users that either do not understand why they received a chat ban, or users that believe they were wrongly chat banned.

To appeal a ban please start by using this format
Your SE account name(s) banned:
The time and timezone when they were banned:
Who you think banned you / which mods you were aware of being online at the time:
Any screenshots of the chat when you were banned:
Why you think the ban was unjust and what you were doing when you were banned:


This is a thread with regard to the SE web online multiplayer game rules. To post here you will need a stickpage account on this site and thus need to follow the stickpage rules: http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?79221-StickPage-Official-Rules-(Updated-24-07-15)
If you are banned on this site then you have violated the Stick Page rules and need to take it up with those mods not us.

This is the rough guide we have for things we ban for. Keep in mind it is not an inclusive list and other offences are not somehow okay because they are not said explicitly on here.

For the lols and stuff I used to manage my own ban list spreadsheet, so you can look at the bans I've given and their type: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nUrDXFad3tKpGcX4E07QSDNUmRo8BD9CLJ27lu9nRNE/edit?usp=sharing to get an idea.


Keep your chat PG-13, friendly and civil and respect other people and you should never have to worry about chat bans.

If you do believe you have been wrongly chat banned, evidence in the form of embedded images is extremely important.

Very nice compilation. This is a very good outline for the basis of ban.

Regarding religious topics and the such- what would you do about it? An example would be that "Allah___" person.

I'd reiterate what probably got lost when I said it before.
A username including something like Gay or Allah is fine as long as it does not bad mouth that topic, or effectively badmouth everything but that topic.

For example, THEGAYONE is fine, GAYSARESTUPID is not, and ALLAHISTRUEALLUNBELIEVERSSHALLGOTOHELL is not.

If it's a somewhat respectable debate about religions and whatnot, then in my opinion it should be allowed. If it's insulting a religion or offends too many people in the chat, not so much.

Just realised I misread the question as usernames. xD What Tec said really.

Though to be honest the likelihood of having a reasonable discussion in that chat over religion is tiny.

I can if you believe it's more beneficial, but ultimately I think it's better to add it to this thread. I'm generally hesitant to stick a thread unless necessary since it takes up an extra spot in the page, but if you guys think it's more beneficial to stick this individual thread, then sure. I'd suggest renaming the thread title though since it could potentially be misleading. Since this is your guys' territory so to speak, it's your call.

A title change would probably help. While it's nice to have it in the FAQ, how many users actually read that? I'd wager not many. I think we should sticky this so we won't have to deal with more "Really Xanderman" threads.

Alright then. If the amount of stickies ever becomes an issue though, this thread will probably be the first to go, though that probably won't become too much of a problem in the near future.

I'd implore you to change the name of the thread because it isn't very informative.

Is 'Chat rules and ban appeals' a better title?

You could remove the replay bug thread, since we used it when the replay feature just came out and there were quite a few problems, now barely anyone posts there and we already have a sticky thread that is about bugs for the entire game where people can post their issues with replays there.

If what you're saying is true, I'll unban if I see you online.

It is of course always possible we click the account 1 off from the one we wanted if someone bumps up the chat at the wrong moment - which could be a cause of misplaced bans.

Were you banned when others we breaking the rules around you in the chat?
