Antagonizing maybe, but I never made fun of Bison.  Just calling it like I see it, which is that the view of Bison many have here as some type of impartial anime goddess is bullshit.  He's a human like all the rest of us who has biases and flaws, and all the evidence I've accumulated through my interactions with him suggests he's always been biased against me for reasons that are completely opaque to me.  The very first time I ever added Bison on steam and messaged hi was to report a player who was griefing me, repeatedly team flashing and dinking me.  Bison was in the server at the time and was on the same team and he did nothing about it.  Later I tried to report a server bug to him and he just acted like I was some 16 yo kid bitching because I didn't get in the pug fast enough.  I could care less about that, I just wanted to 1) learn how the sub system works, and 2) report what seemed to me like a bug.  These are just two examples, dating back to the very first time I ever PMed bison about anything in my first months on these servers, where Bison has basically assumed the worst of me and was indifferent to me being abused/griefed.  How is this not solid evidence of a bias?

And yet, when I'm in a pug that is a total troll match, where the admin in the server encourages everyone to troll, if I act like a troll I get a 1 month ban out of nowhere?  The reason for the ban was "repeated griefing" despite the fact that I wasn't griefing and that I have no previous bans on record for griefing.  There was the one 14 day ban for trolling, but that was removed after 1 day and Drago admitted to me in PM that he didn't think it was justified and just did it to get Swamp to stop messaging him and posting on forums.

It just seems so disproportional to me.  I'm also confused, Hamaerox, about the logic of your post above.  Nothing in the rules says you can receive a server ban for activity on the forums.  Yes, I made a troll ban appeal post, and most of my posts in this thread have been trolly, but I've outlined above why.  I never expected to be unbanned or to have the ban reduced, I was just letting out a little frustration and hoping that someone here would get a little laugh out of my post in the process.  But compare my post to Eddie's (44ina) recent ban appeal post.  That kid is antagonizing and making fun of everyone in the thread.  All i've done is make a couple puns and offer to give Bison head (offer still stands, I give nasty throat).
