Doogla 34 / 2,006 Report Post Posted December 11, 2019 Edited December 11, 2019 by Doogla I have a steam profile picture that breaks no rules of this server in anyway shape or form. I have learned my lesson about breaking rules here and intend to stick to them. @Vauff has threatened to ban me solely because of the picture on my steam profile. I can post and show you in no way is against the rules. Edited December 11, 2019 by Doogla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogla 34 / 2,006 Report Post Posted December 11, 2019 Edited December 11, 2019 by Doogla I also have proof of vauff admitting it doesnt break any rules, but because what admins say goes, he says he has the right, which he very well may do. But then what is this? a gfl dictatorship? you guys encourage people to play but put restrictions on players fdor a harmless picture?

Vauff 964 / 16,861 Report Post Posted December 11, 2019 Edited December 11, 2019 by Vauff Just to fully recap everything that's happened so far, since you've conveniently left out some key details in your appeal here. You managed to track down the Instagram page of someone from the server, took one of the pictures and set it as your profile picture without their permission. Then created a Steam group with the clantag "mypicisjblah" and wore it in the server. The player then contacted you asking you nicely to remove the picture, you refused. I then contacted you asking you nicely to remove the picture, you refused. I then had to threaten you with a doxing ban to remove it, and only then did you remove the clantag (not the picture). At this point, I gave you a 5 minute warning to remove the picture too, and you did not. You were then given a 1 day ban from the server. Since you're already dangling "proof" from our Steam conversation, I figured I may as well just put the entire thing on display here to give full context. [22:21] Vauff: i don't like the fact that you're using someones face pic from the server as your profile pic when they've asked you not to [22:21] Doogla: its not him jk it is but so what no one owns the rights to it [22:22] Vauff: you don't see how this is a jackass move? https://i.imgur.com/h9ToSmf.png [22:22] Doogla: ofc it is im being a dick [22:23] Vauff: and i'm asking you not to be [22:23] Doogla: im saying no im keeping it for a while [22:28] Vauff: alright well i gotta ask you to remove it or you're going to be banned for doxing [22:28] Doogla: a picture of someone is doxing? and its not even someone its a gamertag ill delete my tag ntot he pic cause a picturew of someone isnt doxing [22:29] Vauff: i'm telling you to remove the pic [22:29] Doogla: so no its not doxing i removed the tag and wont infer to anyone that its him so not doxing ill delete the steam group i dont know to delete the group so i just left it and i was the only one in it im breaking no rules [22:33] Vauff: i don't think that's going far enough [22:33] Doogla: its a picture no one knows [22:33] Vauff: you have no reason to have this picture besides trying to piss someone off [22:33] Doogla: its not doxing vauff im not breaking any rules if i do let me know [22:34] Vauff: i agree it isn't necessarily doxing to just have the picture [22:34] Doogla: i dont boost anymore [22:34] Vauff: and not publicizing who it is [22:34] Doogla: only tthingi do wrong is go afk i wont [22:34] Vauff: but i'm using my own judgement in saying that you can't use this picture [22:34] Doogla: its wrong that i dod i left the group no tag okay well thats not a reason to ban or kick me [22:34] Vauff: have it gone within 5 minutes [22:34] Doogla: becausei hurt someone feelings ill bring it up on the forums if youre serious about me not breaking any rules ill make the post right now if youre serious [22:36] Vauff: as i said, you're not necessarily breaking any rules, i'm using my judgement here to say you're going too far this is in the motd for a reason "Listen to admins; They have the final say." [22:36] Doogla: thats abuse who are you to tell me my picture isnt apppropriate if i didnt have that tag i could say it wasnt him [22:36] Vauff: feel free to report me if you feel that's the case [22:36] Doogla: i could say its not him now [22:42] Doogla: hey vauff if youre going to try to make me do this i wont advertise anything on your server but ill go out of my way to do it somewhere else where i make sure everyone sees [22:43] Vauff: i already warned him of streisand effect because i fully expected this to happen [22:43] Doogla: ill have to look that up youre an intelligent man of course you knew just making sure you know do you know what a deep fake is? [22:47] Vauff: yea [22:47] Doogla: im just angry right now i would never do that sorry i regretted asking you that as soon as i sent it Let's focus specifically on this part, since that's what you seem to be referring to when you say "I also have proof of vauff admitting it doesnt break any rules". [22:36] Vauff: as i said, you're not necessarily breaking any rules, i'm using my judgement here to say you're going too far this is in the motd for a reason "Listen to admins; They have the final say." I guess you somehow can't see how wearing the IRL picture of someone from the server as your Steam pic you found on Instagram is totally crossing the line, but it is. This is exactly the type of situation that the "Listen to admins; They have the final say." rule is intended for. Because no shit we aren't going to think a "No setting your steam profile picture to IRL pictures of people on the server without permission" rule is necessary on the MOTD, that's common fucking sense. In the spirit of the "Listen to admins; They have the final say." rule being vague, I warned before punishing and gave you ample time for you to correct the mistake as you can see in the full Steam conversation above. At the end of the day, you willingly chose to continue going against what an admin was telling you to do, even when you knew it would get you banned. 49 minutes ago, Doogla said: But then what is this? a gfl dictatorship? you guys encourage people to play but put restrictions on players fdor a harmless picture? Yes it is, you don't vote us in. Being serious though, the fact you're calling this a "harmless picture" shows just how out of touch you are with what you've done. Not everyone is as comfortable sharing their pictures online as you are with an IRL picture of yourself as your profile picture, and always posting your Instagram link in the server text chat. If somebody doesn't want their picture shared online, then having someone willfully spread that in the server is going to be very upsetting and uncomfortable. That's not something we want happening on the server just because you want a cheap laugh. Edited December 11, 2019 by Vauff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
