Secret Rules Continue

I recently dealt with an odd situation involving staff members not following the rules set out in the public rules (you can find it here https://mccentral.org/community/threads/more-secret-rules.38442/)

And it was nearly immediately locked quoting a rule that doesn’t exist (if it does then a link to that rule would be greatly appreciated). So I did what everyone else in that situation would do, create a staff report. And 7 days after I created that staff report, i was told by Timppali that “We mainly issue bans for advertising in DMs if it's clear that it's a bot that mass messages multiple players”. But that’s not true, as we have seen a player message one person with an Advertising link. And they were rightfully banned after the did so, per the rules. It was only ONE report. Just like the rules say. There isn’t even a way to find out if they’re mass advertising with ONE report. So that makes his statement false.

And not once have I been linked to the other “rule” that states “if a staff member thinks that a person Advertising is a bot then it’s punishable. But otherwise you can just ignore the other rule”

The rules specifically state that “Advertising” is“Sharing a join link of other Discord servers which are not part of the MCCentral network.” 1 link. ONE. I just ask for the rules to be enforced to every player equally. Not biased towards some.

All I’m asking for is transparency. All the time I am hearing of new rules or rules that aren’t Enforced the way that it should. I just ask that we all be on the same page...

thanks for reading,

PS please don’t lock this immediately. Please let it be until the question has been answered.

 

How do you know that they're a ban evading alt? you can't IP check someone on discord as far as I know. I may be wrong but..

In addition, there have been dozens if not hundreds of instances where players have been banned because they broke the rules for Advertising. I have evidence of it and you can easily check the logs to see that.

This means that the rules have been enforced properly in the past, but in this case it was not.
