note; this thread is for discussion of the topics brought up, please dont chat shit and let's have a constructive conversation about these issues.
So, my dispute was accepted-ish (wherein it is acknowledged the ban reason does not reflect my actions in the slightest,) and my ban was lowered, all good right? No, not really, because the issues surrounding this ban once again highlight the glaring inconsistencies surrounding getting reported on duty.
The reponse to my dispute was as follows:
I don't know about any of you, but to me the justification for upholding the ban was for use of excessive force as an officer. Usually this would have been dealt with via an IA complaint but as it was already dealt with administratively (under a completely different understanding of the circumstances,) it was decided to only lower the ban to a week.
I'm just pointing out, I've been banned for a week for excessive use of force as an officer, something that is supposed to be dealt with by IA.
My initial ban reason was for 2.5. However, I don't see how stopping a chase initiated by another user is excessively negative. I used tools that I had in RP to deal with an already escalated situation. What I did was completely viable within the rules. I concede that it may have been excessive force but if there wasn't this blatant misunderstanding of the situation from the initial moderator I contend I would not have been banned at all, and an IA would have been made instead.
Basically what I'm trying to say is, it wasn't excessively negative, it was excessive force. The response to my dispute sounds way more like a response to an IA than a ban dispute and I think this whole thing is a fucking shitshow of inconsistent staffing.
Good day sir
