Mafia Appeal

#1 Post by jmo1121109 » Mon Jul 15, 2019 12:39 am

Hello all,

We were recently pointed in the direction of a problem occurring in mafia, which revolved around ChippeRock's conduct in games.

We understand a game was cancelled due to his behavior and that he was punished for doing so and followed that punishment. He was then allowed into the last mafia game and went out of his way to check with the GM's on a strategy he wasn't sure was allowed and waited until he was given explicit permission before using it. He was contacted by GM's for the upcoming game and agreed he would not use the strategy because it would violate the game's rules, however he wouldn't say it in public and added a conditional that concerned the GM's.

At this point the collective mafia community devolved into insulting each other and calling each other names and an overall mob and pitchfork mentality. Which is the entire justification behind the site rule banning public cheating accusations.

That aside, we've been asked to appeal the general problem. So we have emailed chippe to discuss his case. The outcome will either be him being allowed to play in all games or no games going forward, as it does not seem reasonable to subject future GM's to dealing with this recurring argument.

In the future there will be a new appeal path for any mafia concerns, with more details on this coming shortly.

I do want it noted that we as a site do not ever require people to handle their punishments in public and I'm uncomfortable having to even to this degree. We allow people 2nd chances all the time. In fact several of you asking for chippe to be banished from games have violated worse site rules the what is going on here. So we do expect everyone to abide by this decision and there will be no further insulting of chippe regardless of if his discussion with the admin team results in a ban from mafia or clearing to play in all mafia games.

As mentioned above stay turned for more details on a coming change that should help clarify concerns around past GM decisions. For now please avoid continuing to attack previous GM's for rulings in finished games.

For the mafia game 47 chippe will be sitting out because nobody actually contacted the team until after the GM's were already finished with setup. We will have a final decision to everyone shortly.

After this discussion we were not able to come to a satisfactory agreement, and ChippeRock is now banned from mafia games, including posting in mafia threads, +1'ing mafia posts, or following QT threads. This decision is final.
