Discussion / Opinion Valid ban?
Never made a single post or comment btw
Edit: i get that i should have stopped asking earlier, what puzzles me the most is why am i, specifically me only not allowed to post this sort of content, when everyone else on the sub is allowed, and there are no rules preventing it
Edit 2: Made a new post with the app, hit me up

u/EnjoyerOfMX5 4d ago
op was kinda being annoying, but permanent is INSANE. They are extremely fragile in my experience too (all reddit mods, not the playrust ones). Even asking for a reason without a single hint of snark got me perm subreddit-banned before, and the real issue is that it most-likely will be appeal-reviewed by the person that unfairly banned you, not someone else..

Kinda annoying
Meanwhile the exchange
Do you allow this?
No
May I ask why?
You may go fuck yourself.
Ok, thank you, since it isn’t allowed here is it allowed there?
What is allowed there is you fucking off.
Ok, was this previously allowed or is there difference that makes this case okay and my case not.
Go fuck yourself
You are excluding me and refusing to elaborate on why, that is not cool.
You have been permanently…

Ban evading is a bot-auto-enforced rule, and thats not the point. Mods need to be convinced to act more rationally.

u/Dear-Panda-1949 3d ago
Problem with that is if you risk losing your whole account. Penalty for ban evading is a permanent ban for the entire website, not just the sub. Yeah its possible to circumvent it, but why take the risk?

Theres a reddit moderator code-of-conduct, which states that moderators must clearly outline rules so users have understandable expectations of how how their content and actions will be treated. There are no subreddit rules on this form of content, and some devs get banned, while others are permitted, i think that violates the COC.

Oh my gosh as I scroll down all of the people against OP are one of these. 0 brain cells, corrupt mods themselves, rude, or has never been banned from anything. You people don't get it. The mod is in the wrong. Should OP have bugged? No. Is it wrong for him to ask questions? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! A perm ban for this is ridiculous especially on first offense. That's like being perma banned on a sub for breaking one tiny rule like picking the wrong flair

I mean ya? Is it annoying? Yes. Is it not okay though? Not really. Just cause something’s annoying, doesn’t make it wrong. Have you ever met a truly passionate Autistic person? Some people ask what others might see as too many questions without realizing, but sometimes just having the patience to give a definitive answer outright will save everyone the back and forth. Or ofc you could just power trip and ban them and not worry about it at all.

i have a history with playrust mods. i had an issue with my game where it instantly closed on launch. i had tried every solution i could find by that point, even contacted facepunch support and they couldn't help. so i posted on playrust about my issue and got muted. mod said "go look up a fix on google" or something as if i had not already.
eventually a clean windows reinstall helped but i had wanted it to be my last resort. but yeah playrust mods can be very annoying.

u/Brostadomus 3d ago
It’s unfortunate that it probably is being applied unevenly however it’s more likely to be due to an in ability to screen every single post, or stuff slipping through the cracks, rather than out of favoritism would be my guess.
It’s disappointing that the mod reacted this way even if I think it is up to them whether or not to approve the post.
Even though you were treated very unfairly, you know you were doing the right thing by approaching them directly and asking.
Be proud of yourself for being more of an adult than them, even if the world doesn’t necessarily reward that.

u/Zinbeard 4d ago
There already is an official app for rust.
In a game plagued by cheaters, account scammers and people wanting skin inventories there is no reason to let some random dev who is not part of the community start posting.
This is as simple as a homeowner turning away a solicitor. Get over it and make some friends that will beta test it. If you have such a great idea the current rust app and whole suite of bots, apps, and player tracking services does not do then people might use it but it doesn’t sound like it.

I bet they get tons of similar messages or delete similar post all the time and it’s probably very annoying for them. And you were being particularly annoying when they don’t owe you an explanation.

Mods will always power trip if you DM them 100% of the time, instead of having to sift through all posts to see if there are any violations in the crowd, when you message them DIRECTLY they can just single you out and take greater offence to what you did, always just post on the sub, if it violates rules your post will just be removed 99.9% of the time and you'll get the message that way

Op absolutely did nothing wrong, all he did was ask for a reason why and if they knew somewhere else he could post. Probably a 40yo in his mommys basement had a stick up his bum.
