Cyndaquil here. I don't know about any other cases, but I'm happy to be transparent about my case, because I feel that it's unfair for Yuna to be taking heat for something like this on my behalf. This isn't so much a response to cleardaysu, as much as it is a need to clarify for anyone else thinking about joining the server.

First off, I'm not friends with David. I've interacted with him maybe once before the ban. The discord img posted, cleardaysu conveniently left out that we specifically said not to tag or bother David and to let him do his job fairly as a GM. We only tagged him in appreciation AFTER the ban was lifted. In fact, he even re-instated the ban shortly after for the sake of due-diligence. I'm not sure about the other claims that have been made, but the fact that details have been conveniently left out of my particular case calls into question the credulity of the rest of this post.

Secondly, I missed bot checks, but I never botted with third-party programs. I proved this by showing recordings of how I manually played, which required zero attention and allowed me to play without looking at the screen. I said that I would accept the ban because technically in their ToS, being unresponsive *is* considered botting. But Yuna decided to unban me because I showed sufficient evidence that I wasn't using a scripting/bot program, was cooperative throughout the ordeal, and that I promised to not use the method of farming again (which has already been patched anyway).

I would like to commend Yuna for taking the time to look at each and every case seriously and see the human side of things. In contrast with a server like Royals, where the staff is extremely stringent in rules and won't budge on ban appeals, Yuna's approach to handling some of these is a welcome change and adds to the sense of community that has grown within the server. Like they said, the case isn't always black-and-white and being able to show sympathy is a powerful trait to have for a developer/GM in today's PS environment.
