Sounds kind of questionable on your part, Ibusoe. Your version of these events doesn't sound believable.
What version of events?
CalmThyPalm trolled me for 50+ hours CalmThyPalm caught a handful of semen in the face for his troubles? Staff are trying to hush the whole thing up and have lied I am now banned Snowflakes are coming out of the woodwork.
I was worried about people moving the goalposts, so what part of the narrative did I lie about?
Edit: Show me where I lied. I have not lied.
It just doesn't sound believable, man. I don't know who PalmThyCalm is or any of the characters involved since I don't play anymore, but your description of these events just strains credulity. He "trolled you for 50+ hours"? What does that even mean? The accumulated amount of time he has spent trolling you comes out to a total of fifty hours of non-stop trolling? Fifty RL hours have passed since he began trolling you? Your character has 50 hours played and he has been trolling you the entire time you've had that PC? It's such an odd way of putting it. The story of this HG player repeatedly raping your character is also hard to believe. For all their faults, staff takes that shit pretty seriously. I can't find it in me to believe that they stood idly by while that went on for 50+ hours (?) only to ban you for, uh, throwing a handful of semen at him. Apparently you sent in a player complaint which Shabago has posted in the GDB, and in it you mention nothing about that, just that the player has been "trolling you" and "metagaming." In fact, you provided absolutely no examples of what he's doing. He's just trolling you and metagaming. In the log of your conversation with a staff member, you come off like a shoplifter lashing out after getting caught. Once again, you just allude to this HG player trolling you and metagaming. You didn't bring up the fact that he supposedly repeatedly raped your character. From what I can tell, that accusation exists only here on the shadowboard, with no proof at all. I get every impression that you just don't like CalmThyPalm, whoever that is, and made the other shit up in order to justify your incredibly strange in-game reaction to his "50+ hours of trolling." You have a history of being... strange, to be quite honest, here on the shadowboards. Your complaints about staff often come off more like conspiracy theories. It's not the first time I call you out on that. There's plenty to criticize them over without making things up. Your weird obsession with whether or not this HG is a staff alt, presumably because this would then let you claim that staff as a whole are covering for an imm who's raping people in-game. Well, that would be a bit like the Flat Earth paradox--so many people would have to be in on that batshit insane conspiracy that it's hard to suspend one's disbelief. There's, what, fifteen staff members, all of whom could watch this supposed staff alt rape people, and all decided that it's okay because he's one of their own? I just don't buy it. It sounds like bullshit. If you have logs of it actually happening, and can document that you complained about it to staff but were ignored, your story would have a lot more credibility. For now, since you don't, it's too far-fetched and I think you did something insane to a player you don't like and then tried to spin it into a story where you're the victim. All we know for sure is that your character flung handfuls of semen at other characters, which is fucked up.

One thing I will say about this situation is that staff should always post evidence when they ban people. There would be essentially no unjustified bans if staff were actually willing to put their case out there every time they permanently cut someone off from the game. This is one of those things that other games do when they ban people, and is a cornerstone of transparency in those games that Armageddon has never had. And likely will never have, since Shabago's announcement mostly just seems like a one-time thing to respond to ibusoe posting on this board. (Incidentally, this implies that the staff read this forum regularly! Hi everyone!)
Of course, this level of transparency also requires the runlogs to not write over itself after every reboot... cue the programmers saying it's not worth the effort and they're gonna work on making more items decay instead.

And in typical small business owner fashion, qwerty stole my idea and sold it on the gdb: gdb.armageddon.org/index.php/topic,58629.msg1083476.html#msg1083476 Btw Halaster, Pretty much every MUSH or RP MUD with 100+ players does this. Arx, Keys, Alter Epoch, the IRE games at least used to do it (not sure now). Even the furry porn mushes do this and they obviously value privacy a lot.

So from what I've seen so far, from the guy you accused of being more or less a rapist, he subdued you and carried you to the Byn barracks several times. Likely because you were passed out, afk, or otherwise beat the fuck up. Maybe he even pat your head or something (Half giants do be nice like that)
We also have very little in terms of what he did for sexual assault, and the only clarification we have is he spent '50 hours trolling'. What trolling? If he's shitposting in character it's in canon because half giants are mentally ill.
You then threw cum at people.
Which is blatant sexual harassment.
What the fuck?
This is grumble level 'threatening to kill myself in the staff requests' and 'shitting on someone's floor to get back at them ig' level nonsense.
Staff didn't even drop the ball with the ban (Outside of some suggestions that I agree with that bans should be more or less public with reasoning). They asked you if you knew what they were referring to, and you instantly went Free-Person-Of-The-Land on them with some 'I HAVE MY OWN QUESTIONS' 'IS THE GIANT STAFF??'. That isn't the point right now you threw cum on people and told staff to their face you were probably going to do it again.
No one wants to play Dark sun if people are throwing cum at people. I don't think there is a staffer in the world who would look at this situation and be like 'Yeah that's fine'.

How did they know it was semen? Is it so easy to identify?

Yo. You say you are harassed for 50+ hours. Where is evidence? Dare to share? Without such, it's really a vague term, in case it involves how you feel. I could FEEL harassed if someone walks down the road with a glance at me. You post the evidence of logs, and let the community decide. Fair & Square.

I actually like that staff posted logs, and named the player in this instance. I find your story of a staff avatar afk "doing things" to your pc without logs that ANYONE would save or screenshot batshit insane.
Also the fact that you would immediately choose to rp sexual assault right after to invalidate yourself unbelievable. You are the only dude who did it, and it is obvious.
You have always been a freak on here and by your terrible play, but cum flinging is full on silence of the lambs hahaha.

Unsurprisingly, staff decided against transparency because people might want to "watch the drama". So all of this has resulted in staff just admitting that they will give details when they deem details are necessary, and provide nothing otherwise. Giving way to a continuation of the same practices unaccountable staff have used to bully and bar players seemingly for fun while providing no reasoning or proof for their own actions. The more things change...

We almost witnessed an ethical breakthrough, gentlemen. Halaster was -this- close to exercising best practices when it comes to community management. Of course, you can't make a dog collar itself. Staff would rather have the best of both worlds: "getting in front" of Ibusoe's manic incident by throwing him under the bus, while leaving more than enough shadows for less popular acts of community culling. Given the ethical tendencies of the individuals on the staff team, this was the natural result.

I've described this game as being run by a bunch of fascists who are just as invested in the stories as the players that have joined the game, but they manage that story for their favorites and those they are personally playing most with. They feel ownership over everyone's' stories and the game in general...watch them begin to talk about money and resources when they have consistently declined any donation from the community that tells this "collaborative story". Volunteers or owners, community or users? It'll flip flop.
Staff are in fact a monolith in their presentation to players, the policy has even been to hide their imm accounts while online so you get staff responses from "someone". - A current player.

Halaster now saying that Producers "own the game" and it has always been this way since soon after the game's inception is a blatant lie. The only person that owns the game is the sucker that's paying the fees on server hosting and the URL, and last I checked, that person is still Morgenes for some reason. The fact that Producers now see fit to claim ownership, instead of mere stewardship, is probably a bad sign for every player that thinks they were contributing collaboratively to a story that they owned too.

I take it you're only going by ibusoe because RogueCumSlinger was already taken? I hereby relinquish my rights to that username. I would directly transfer the account details over, but it's permanently banned. Typical.
