Ban Message

State your appeal: 2). Malicious acts like griefing, metagaming, killbaiting, banbaiting, powergaming, self-antagging, greytiding, validhunting (along with calling people and silicons valid without proper cause), and exploiting can become bannable offenses if occurring regularly or if the infraction is serious enough. it was not malicious and helped a guy who i killed as obsessed hos having some fun which is, again, not malcious. second is 1.4. Players’ knowledge of the game is not limited by their job. However, using knowledge of antags and round types without IC justification is considered metagaming. For example, it is acceptable for a clown to know how to build a conveyor belt for a prank. It is not acceptable for a clown to know that xenomorphs are weak to fire and rush to make a flamethrower. so it was acceptable for me to know as a HoS to do surgery on fella who was abandoned by literally two deaprtments and do it in that emergency situation (all robotics was ssd, medical just ignored at all).
Power Gaming: Obtaining items/power or doing things outside of the scope of your department or skill range to have a greater advantage. More often than not this is playing to ‘win’, whether it be at a certain mechanic, game mode or anything else. This includes giving others no room or ability to act or ‘win’ themselves. These rules are relaxed for players with antag status. as it was here, i did not get any advantage, except for that guy would get more playtime

Obsessed is barely an antag - hence why command can roll it. It doesn’t give you any wider flexibility with the rules than a normal player (outside of completing your objectives, of course). Even if the roboticists were SSD, you never even bothered to get in contact with the RD who could have done it or any of the scientists. Also obviously yes, medbay can’t help you borg someone- they don’t have access to robotics. The logs read almost like you were intentionally asking people who obviously couldn’t borg him which makes me wonder if asking medbay at all was just a CYA thing. This ban was correctly applied, so the appeal is denied.

Also side note, if you’re gonna winge on /tg/'s Discord about our rules and getting banned every week, why don’t you just go play there instead?
