The Legionarian Isles Banned

Operations Center
1

The user known on site as The Legionarian Isles is banned from the South Pacific for multiple violations of the Explicit Content portion of the Community Guidelines in Dispatches, some of which were posted on TSP’s RMB. Given the violations spanned multiple posts and Dispatches, there was no plausible justification or denying the necessity of the ban.

Legionarian may appeal by sending a DM to any Moderator, and their appeal will be heard by a panel of uninvolved Moderators.

I don’t understand the context HAHA

6

First of all, that was really unexpected, secondly, I condemn this decision

7

Finally. I’m done with all the Soppo bullcrap

Their ban seems very unfair since this was their only infraction that I’ve seen. Furthermore, it took TSP over a year to finally ban New Halo and months to ban Marecageux, who posted vile racist things that eclipse anything Legion ever did.

“We dragged ass banning these other people we should’ve banned sooner, so we should deliberately slow our moderation response to someone else” is not a knockout argument.

I want to clarify two points here:

  1. For the kind of offense that Legion committed, you aren’t entitled to warnings. Our Community Guidelines are very clear that these kinds of violations “will likely lead to an immediate permanent ban” even where others might result in escalating warnings and punishments. Severity of an offense matters as much (if not more) than frequency in terms of determining a punishment.
  2. We aren’t publishing links to or text of the content that Legion was banned for, largely because the content itself was the problem. If the content should not exist in TSP, we aren’t going to be re-circulating it. That said, it is incorrect to say this was their “only infraction”. There was more than one Explicit Materials infraction.

This is true, but I think it’d be good to know what has now changed to make these bans faster and if the community can continue to expect them at this pace

Two bans aren’t fast and heavy. They just happened to be in a close proximity by happenstance.

I suppose part of it is that I’m not used to seeing official posts on the forums about player bans

14

Oho boy you’d be surprised what just happened

It happens when it’s players that have been around for some time. When I ban the trolls and such, they’ve barely been around to interact with the community. Those don’t get a mention.
