I was chatting in the subnautica discord channel, and I don't know if I accidently hit a wrong key or two (i'm on a new laptop and still haven't got used to the smaller keyboard) but the SN discord channel suddenly disappeared, and when I tried to rejoin, I got a ticket expired message, even when I went used the link on the discord site with out logging into discord using my browser. did the discord server go down? how do I get back into the channel?
Comments
appearently I was banned "for saying despicable things about women" this is patently false. my comments were specifically targeted at the player model "robin" and she is not a woman. she is a collection of one's and zero's, i.e. computer data. you can shape such data to look like a women, but it still is not a women. calling it a person is wrong as well. "robin" does not even exist. she is a work of fiction. she is not even real. had I made my statement more generalized, then yes, then the reason for the ban might be accurate. but I specifically mentioned in my comments that I was talking about the player model. I did not reference any others. the subnautica discord channel, I thought, was supposed to be a place for user feedback, and suggestions. my suggestion was to make the bust on "robin" bigger, and make it so you could see the bust when you looked down. It doesn't mean this will ever happen. someone could suggest to make all fish into reapers, but that doesn't mean that this will ever happen. this being said, the discord channel is owned by the devs of subnautica, they can do what they want with it. the fact that they would ban someone for simply voicing their opinion is a sign of poor moderation. I am through venting. the most they can do now is further violate my right to free speech by deleting this post. I do not expect a response to this post nor will I respond to any further posts. I feel I have been calm and collected when I made this post, and I have not made any attacks, personal or other wise against anyone. I will miss interacting with other users of SN and BZ through the discord channel. to me that was half the fun of the game(s).
as a warning to future discord channel users, whatever you do, do not make any comments about the design of the player model (or just to be safe, any of the npc models) or you risk being banned.
If you honestly have to jump through this large of a hoop to justify what you said, whatever you said, then I gather to imagine you said a lot more than what you're letting on. Regardless, your actions shouldn't need to be justified if you actually did nothing wrong.
It says a lot about your character though, the way you've responded to this whole thing thus far. I have no idea what you originally said to get banned, but based off your response in this forum, I can easily see why you'd be banned.
Just the kind of devs you are dealing with...
That way you would have an opportunity to apologize to the community and possibly be forgiven (if it's not too serious).
But that's just me turning the other cheek.
I had intended on forgetting this whole matter. but it appears my thread has been picked up. the following are messages from Obraxis himself on the messages i made that caused me to receive a ban.
