Description of the events that occurred:
I was banned, temporarily, for 1 (one) day. The reason was that I used the detective's .38 colt to incapacitate another crewmember. This crew member, the CMO, had sprayed me with a spray bottle of (what I presume was) chlorine trifluoride, in the cloning area of genetics. This set me alight, as shown at the top of the logs. I rolled to extinguish myself, before maneuvering into a spray blindspot of the spray bottle and firing 4 (four) .38 rounds into the hardsuited CMO until they dropped to the floor. If you don't believe the CMO sprayed me, one of the final .38 rounds I fired off actually hit the spray bottle, which was dropped because it was in the hand slot of the CMO. I then put handcuffs on the CMO, and moved him into upper medbay for treatment before I was going to incarcerate him for assault of an officer and attempted murder.
TapiocaSquid had briefly heckled me during the shift after I arrested a mime (that was marked as WANTED) by disabling them, stating that I should have used a baton instead (which I didn't have). As soon as I took down the mime and had them cuffed, they were in the brig hallway with their bleed stopped and a brute patch applied. They then attempted to blame the mime's later death on me (even though brute damage was at 22 and toxin damage was max), even after I rushed the mime to the medbay and revived them myself.
I don't really understand the ban reason, discussing the use of potentially deadly force over stuns. I was not carrying a stun baton, just a flash and pepper spray, neither of which is effective against a hardsuit. Shoves and knockdowns may have been another option, however, with a spray bottle of CL3, which is highly deadly, I believe I was justified in my choice to use a ranged, effective weapon as opposed to anything else. The member of staff failed to attempt to discuss what occurred within the genetics lab and simply banned me.
In no way did I break any server rules. I didn't murderbone by using a .38 revolver (considered a non-lethal weapon, compared to .357 rounds that it can fire). I did minimal damage to the targets I used it against and treated their injuries to a high quality immediately after their capture. While the .38 revolver is considered a fairly non-lethal weapon, I would have still been free, under space law, to use deadly force in the latter example for which I was banned. Non-lethal weapons were ineffective because the target was hardsuited, there was a severe personal risk to me, as a player, and the target was armed and dangerous. All of these reasons are considered valid circumstances for the use of lethal force, yet I merely used a .38 revolver. In a similar vein, it's not very smart to think that this is in any way griefing, powergaming, breaching space law, or otherwise being a dick.
It's stupid to think that apprehending a valid suspect and likely enemy of the corporation using relatively non-lethal means is against server rules.
Why you believe they should bepunished reprimanded or given a harsh talking to:
The decision to give TapiocaSquid administrator powers should be re-evaluated. I'd like at a minimum a meaningful apology from TapiocaSquid for the misuse of their power. Hopefully, they will become a better staff member and not pull this crap again. Administrator powers is a privilege, not a right. They should be used responsibly, and do not belong in the hands of power-hungry, trigger-happy members of the community. They should not go out looking for people to ban, they should just play the game like the rest of us instead of acting like an Auschwitz prison guard, and deal with real problems, not petty shit like this, especially when they fail to even discuss the incident with players, and hand out bans like rubbers at a planned parenthood without even trying to understand the situation. That is how you lose trust in your playerbase.
EDIT:
To clarify, I don't care much for a 1 day ban, besides, shit like this turns me off playing the game. I've made a complaint post, not a ban appeal, because this shit shouldn't be happening.
