==STEP '''MOTHERFUCKING''' ONE==
=Avoid Bannable Actions=
If you don't want to be banned, don't do ban-worthy actions, both IC and OOC. If it doesn't quite seem ban-worthy but you're not too sure, it's safe to stay away from it, or you could adminhelp to check. [[Rules|Rules can be found here]].


''AVOID DOING THINGS THAT COULD BE BANNABLE''
=Comply With Admins/Mods=
Just because you get messaged by an admin doesn't mean you're immediately in trouble; they could just be asking why you did something a certain way, or are asking for your point-of-view on a situation that happened. In the event you are in trouble, however, you should try to explain to the admin contacting why you did whatever it was you did in a calm fashion that doesn't provoke either party. Aggressively defending your actions or insulting an admin isn't a good way to resolve a situation, and is counterproductive overall.


THIS IS A TRICKY STEP, AND BEING ABLE TO DO THIS WILL SEPARATE THE ''SPESSMEN'' FROM THE ''SPESSBOYS''.
=Dealing With a Ban=
Bans can range from a few minutes off the server to an actual permanent ban. Simple day bans should just be reflected on, and you can always join another SS13 server, or do something else while you reflect on what you've done. Permanent bans, however, are another matter. You will be unable to join the server while you are permabanned, likely because you broke an important rule and chose to not take responsibility for it. If you wish to rejoin the server, you will have to make a ban appeal on the forums, and the admin who banned you will look into the appeal and determine whether or not to let you back into the server. [https://ftl13.com/phpBB3/ You can post your appeal here].


YOU SEE THAT ITEM YOU WANT IN A ROOM THAT YOUR JOB HAS NO NEED FOR AND YOU HAVE NO LOGICAL REASON TO CARRY ON YOUR PERSON AT ALL TIMES? '''DON'T BREAK IN AND GRAB IT AND GET IN A FIGHT WITH ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER.'''
==Dealing With a Permanent Ban==
Going more in depth, permabans are reserved mostly for people who absolutely refuse to acknowledge what they did was wrong, didn't respond to admin contact, or were outright griefing. If you've been permabanned then you should probably take a break from the game for a while. This allows both you and the admin to cool off and try to exchange as much info as possible in your appeal. [https://ftl13.com/phpBB3/ Post your appeal here]. It's also a good idea to get some logs from your end and also [[Rules|read the rules over]].


YOU SEE THAT GUY STANDING AROUND? '''DON'T SHOOT HIM WITH DARTS AND CHAIN HIM TO A BED AND WHIP HIM WITH ELECTRICAL WIRES.'''
==Dealing With a Job Ban==
Job bans are basically bans that still allow you to connect to the server, but you will be unable to join the round as the job you're banned from, likely because you aren't qualified for it (Chief Engineer letting the engine blow up), abused the department equipment (shooting people with a syringe gun full of viruses as CMO without their consent), or didn't follow [[Standard Operating Procedure|other]] [[Rules#Role-Specific_Rules|important guidelines]].


YOU SEE THAT TANK OF PLASMA? '''DON'T OPEN IT IN A HALLWAY.'''
=Reporting Unjust Actions=
Admins and moderators are only human, and mistakes are bound to happen. Some admins, however, may overextend their authority/judgement and give you an unfair ban. In the event you feel that this has happened, contact Head Admin Floyd (Qustinnus) about it and, if it's worth investigating, [https://ftl13.com/phpBB3/ post what you believe was unfair in the admin complaints forum].


IT'S FUCKING '''ELEMENTARY''', ''FATSON!''
=Quick Guide=
 
'''Were you banned?'''
==STEP THE SECOND==
*No
 
**Good job
'''LEARN HOW TO TALK TO THE ADMINS'''
*Yes
 
**Is it a permaban?
THIS STEP SHOULD BE UNNECESSARY IF YOU COCKS DIDN'T FUCK UP STEP ONE, BUT, APPARENTLY THAT WAS TOO DIFFICULT AND YOU FUCKED UP AND NOW AN ADMIN IS ASKING YOU QUESTIONS. HERE ARE SOME '''FUCKING''' TIPS.
***Yes
 
****Wait a while and appeal it
TIP 1. RESPOND. IF YOU DON'T SAY ANYTHING '''THEY'LL BAN YOU''', ''FUCKNUTS''.
***No
 
****Is it a job ban?
TIP 2. AVOID INSULTING THE ADMIN OR OTHER PLAYERS.
*****No
 
******Wait it out/do something else for a bit
TIP 3. EXPLAIN YOUR REASONS FOR YOUR ACTIONS CALMLY, AND RATIONALLY. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WHEN THINKING BACK ON YOUR ACTIONS TO CONSIDER IF A PERSON OF SOUND MIND WOULD DO SUCH A THING, '''YOU PROBABLY ARE AT FAULT''', ''SHITLICKER''.
*****Yes
 
******Wait it out/appeal it when you're qualified for the job
TIP 4. ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE ADMIN STILL THINKS YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG, DESPITE FOLLOWING THE STEPS ABOVE? ACCEPT WHAT YOU DID WAS WRONG. APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A '''SHITHEAD''', NOT JUST TO THE ADMIN, BUT TO THE PLAYERS YOU WRONGED. DON'T DO THAT SHIT AGAIN. IF YOU'RE CONVINCINGLY REMORSEFUL, THEY MIGHT TAKE MERCY ON YOU. JUST DON'T DO THAT SHIT AGAIN, ''DUMPTRUCK''.
 
==TURD STEP==
 
''SO YOU FUCKED UP AND GOT BANNED LIKE THE COCKEYED RETARD YOU ARE, HOW TO APPEAL''
 
YOU GOT BANNED. FIRST. LOOK AT SOME FACTORS
 
1. HOW LONG IS THE BAN? IF IT'S LESS THAN A DAY, '''WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU EVEN APPEAL IT?''' IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A '''FUCKING COLICKY INFANT''' SHITTING ALL OVER THE BOARD AND TRYING TO STIR UP A FIGHT. SIT OUT OF SPACEMANS FOR A COUPLE HOURS, YOU ''TITHEAD'' (or join another server).
 
2. DOES THE LENGTH OF MY BAN REASONABLY CORRESPOND TO THE SEVERITY OF MY ACTIONS? IF YOUR BAN IS TOO SHORT, THANK THE ADMIN FOR BEING LENIENT, '''DON'T FUCK UP AGAIN''', AND PLAY ANOTHER GAME FOR A WHILE, ''YOU NERD''. IS THE BAN TOO LONG? MAKE A THREAD ON FNR. PROVIDE LOGS. ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR BEING A SHIT IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT, DO YOUR BEST TO CALMLY PRESENT YOUR SIDE THAT YOU FEEL THE BAN IS EXCESSIVE. IF YOU DON'T GET A RESPONSE OR GET REJECTED, ACCEPT IT AND WAIT OUT YOUR BAN INSTEAD OF TRYING TO START A SHITSTORM, CUMQUEEN. IS YOUR BAN ''JUUUUUUST'' RIGHT? WELL, CALM YOUR TITS AND TAKE A WHILE OUT OF SPACEMAN. IT'LL GO BY FASTER THAN YOU THINK.
 
==4STEP==
 
''IM A '''FUCKING MORON''' WHO GOT PERMABANNED, CRAG, PLEASE HELP ME FIGHT THE ADMIN CONSPRIACY!''
 
WOW, YOU MUST BE A ''FUCKING IDIOT'' IF YOU GOT PERMABANNED. LUCKILY CRAG IS HERE TO HELP YOU OUT. REMEMBER ALL THAT SHIT I SAID ABOUT ACCEPTING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND TRYING TO ACT LIKE A REASONABLE ADULT IN YOUR APPEALS? '''WELL REMEMBER THAT SHIT''', BECAUSE YOU SHOULDN'T MAKE AN APPEAL RIGHT AWAY. TAKE A VACATION. A COUPLE MONTHS AT THE LEAST. THEN MAKE YOUR APPEAL. DON'T FORGET TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING SUCH A ''FECAL FERRET'' THAT YOU GOT PERMA'D.
 
==''BUT, CRAG, I WANT TO PLAAAY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOW T_T WAH''==
 
'''FUCK OFF'''. SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, THE GAME BECOMES MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE AFTER TIME OFF. IT'LL NOT ONLY BE FULL OF NEW FEATURES, NEW FRIENDLY FACES, AND PROBABLY A STUPID ABORTION OF A GAME MODE, BUT PEOPLE WILL FORGET HOW MUCH OF A ''FUCKING TIT'' YOU ARE AND BE MUCH MORE SYMPATHETIC AFTER A FEW MONTHS. IF YOU ARE THAT MUCH OF A FUCKING ADDICT TO SS13, YOU'RE A ''SPINELESS CUR'' AND I WIPE YOU FROM MY HEEL LIKE THE ''CLUMP OF SHIT'' YOU ARE. BUT THERE ARE OTHER SERVERS. GO PLAY ON THEM, DON'T BREAK THE RULES, BE A COOL, FUN GUY. THEY MIGHT NOT BE /TG/ STATION, BUT YOU CAN STILL PLAY CORE ROBUST GAMEPLAY. FURTHERMORE, SOME OF THE SERVERS HAVE A LARGE CROSSOVER OF USER COMMUNITIES. IF YOU PLAY ON ANOTHER SERVER FOR A WHILE AND DON'T ACT LIKE A ''LLAMA RAPIST'' AND BE HELPFUL, COOPERATIVE, AND FUN, YOU MIGHT GET SOME PEOPLE WILLING TO VOUCH FOR YOUR EVENTUAL UNBANNING.
 
==Final words==
REMEMBER, TGSTATION. NONE OF US IS AS BAD AS ALL OF US. WE ALL NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS GAME ENJOYABLE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT JUST TURNS INTO ''A BUNCH OF AUTISTS CRYING OVER A POORLY CODED BYOND GAME.''

Either you got banned or you're a new guy looking into how you to not get banned. Or maybe you wanna see how you can bend the rules because you're a butt. Either way, here goes.

Avoid Bannable Actions

If you don't want to be banned, don't do ban-worthy actions, both IC and OOC. If it doesn't quite seem ban-worthy but you're not too sure, it's safe to stay away from it, or you could adminhelp to check. Rules can be found here.

Comply With Admins/Mods

Just because you get messaged by an admin doesn't mean you're immediately in trouble; they could just be asking why you did something a certain way, or are asking for your point-of-view on a situation that happened. In the event you are in trouble, however, you should try to explain to the admin contacting why you did whatever it was you did in a calm fashion that doesn't provoke either party. Aggressively defending your actions or insulting an admin isn't a good way to resolve a situation, and is counterproductive overall.

Dealing With a Ban

Bans can range from a few minutes off the server to an actual permanent ban. Simple day bans should just be reflected on, and you can always join another SS13 server, or do something else while you reflect on what you've done. Permanent bans, however, are another matter. You will be unable to join the server while you are permabanned, likely because you broke an important rule and chose to not take responsibility for it. If you wish to rejoin the server, you will have to make a ban appeal on the forums, and the admin who banned you will look into the appeal and determine whether or not to let you back into the server. You can post your appeal here.

Dealing With a Permanent Ban

Going more in depth, permabans are reserved mostly for people who absolutely refuse to acknowledge what they did was wrong, didn't respond to admin contact, or were outright griefing. If you've been permabanned then you should probably take a break from the game for a while. This allows both you and the admin to cool off and try to exchange as much info as possible in your appeal. Post your appeal here. It's also a good idea to get some logs from your end and also read the rules over.

Job bans are basically bans that still allow you to connect to the server, but you will be unable to join the round as the job you're banned from, likely because you aren't qualified for it (Chief Engineer letting the engine blow up), abused the department equipment (shooting people with a syringe gun full of viruses as CMO without their consent), or didn't follow other important guidelines.

Reporting Unjust Actions

Admins and moderators are only human, and mistakes are bound to happen. Some admins, however, may overextend their authority/judgement and give you an unfair ban. In the event you feel that this has happened, contact Head Admin Floyd (Qustinnus) about it and, if it's worth investigating, post what you believe was unfair in the admin complaints forum.
