Croakie was not permabanned three months ago, in an upgrade from an existing ban back then. Many have seen those ban waves, and the ban system for SL2 is not very robust. Which is to say, for a ban message to be displayed, you need to be on - Croakie was likely not on at the time of their ban, and had to be put through a jank workaround to make the ban happen, like putting it through Console. Croakie was banned as recently as every other recent ban name, as part of the same wave, and as part of the same investigations. It's not as deep or long running as you say it is in terms of how long they've been waiting - that is very much not correct.I didn't say they were permabanned three months ago, I said that it was three months ago they got the week ban, which is my bad if I accidentally worded that wrong. Similarly with the investigations part as mentioned, that much I didn't know about either, so a lot of thanks for correcting that.
It hasn't been very long at all. They have not been waiting forever for a reply to a permanent ban, and it does not make a reason as to why they haven't been on the game as long as they have. That much is mostly down to them. Naturally, it also goes on record that the GMs would not share details with other players than Croakie, because that then risks the inverse - people harassing THEM. It's between them and the GMs, not us as players.
What I do wish was known was that these details were actually shared to the player in question, because like I said, I'm ballin with not being informed as long as Croakie was, but she never was and they were never contacted afterwards about why. Especially when the response felt so off-puttingly antagonising to someone who just wanted to know about why/how this decision was made. Sorry for the misconception, I didn't know about it and that happens. The rest of my post remains somewhat the same though. But again, thanks for clearing partial of the issue up.
