So, I'm not sure if this is going against the rules/conditions of my unban or not, but since people are clearly flipping out over the fact that I got unbanned and now want Vinyl unbanned, let me walk you through what actually happened. If one of the staff don't want me to talk about this, I'll keep it hush.
So, what happened is that a few months ago, Zeldamaster12 messaged my saying that I could potentially get unbanned. A couple months later (two months ago?), I started talking with Valtteri about it as well, and eventually I started talking to Pseudo. What went down is that Joey was told that I was looking to be unbanned, and I was told to address this situation to Joey. I had to go through and tell him what I did wrong, and that I recognized what I did wrong to get banned in the first place. I did, I provided examples, so on. I then had to wait for the rest of the staff to agree if they wanted me unbanned or not, and they did, so that's what happened.
In the case with Vinyl, where you can say he didn't do wrong, he shitposted and generally insulted the staff and other users (following along what I did for the most part). The difference between our cases, however, is that he continued to insult the staff (on Discord and otherwise) even after his ban, where I just left the ban at that and disappeared. Another difference is that the staff had come to me and asked if I wanted to get unbanned, and they supporting my unban, whereas I find it highly unlikely that people will support an unban for Vinyl, but that's just me.
More people saying "Vinyl did nothing wrong" isn't going to help his cause, and I was only unbanned under the conditions that I don't do anything bad again, which I am keeping to that. Use your greater judgement and figure out if this is something you really think the staff would allow before creating some big unnecessary movement, with no real reasoning, to get a user unbanned.
