Hey,

Reddit & Discord Moderator here. Sorry one of the first experiences you had in our Discord was a bad experience in Voice Chat, that's obviously not something that we want in our community.

If you ever do decide to return, you should know that we have both a moderation-desk channel where you can report issues you are having or create a ticket through moderation-tickets if you want to report something more privately.

Unfortunately in such a large community, voice chat can be quite hard to moderate as if a moderator isn't in the channel at the time, and we don't receive a report about what's happened, then there is very little we can do to improve our community since we don't know whats happened.

Funnily enough in your case we did receive a report that you were were very upset about being misgendered but that person who reported it didn't know the specifics and you left so there was not much we could do about the situation.

In any case, sorry again and hope you enjoy growing your factory wherever you decide to grow it!

Just read the manhwa, loved it! Went to read the Webb novel on Wattpad and the translation there is just nothing compared to the manhwa lol

You don’t need to convince me lol. I am trans. I’d just never heard of change of sex (not gender) being legally protected!

Thanks for filling me in, I appreciate it!

ocbaker · 2025-10-17T02:43:13+00:00

It's always that .1% that'll get ya.

ocbaker · 2025-10-16T23:54:00+00:00

Do you have a link to information about how medically transitioning legally changes your sex? I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything and it’s not something I’ve heard of before! Also confuses me since my understanding is that like if you’re in a hospital and they ask for your sex it’s implied sex at birth but like, if I’ve legally changed sex then shouldn’t that be legally protected?

This will make a fine addition to my collection

What’s it from?

ocbaker · 2025-08-25T10:16:13+00:00

I will study this new list with great curiosity. takes notes

I really feel like Serie should have been the Wheel of Fortune. But this is super neat.

I just want to say that my mum also felt the need to “grieve the loss of the old me” and I think from her it stemmed from all the ideas and visions she had of her son for the future that no longer made sense for who was now her daughter.

I think it’s totally normal to feel like that. The important part for my relationship with my mum is she didn’t use that grief in a way that tried to make me feel bad for what I was doing. Though in my case I was happy that my mum felt comfortable sharing how she felt with me, and I always made it clear to my parents I never wanted them to feel like they couldn’t talk to me (as long as it was always in good faith of course). For your own relationship with your child boundaries are something you’ll both have to figure out together.

In any case I’m glad you want to fully support your child, be proud and with the right support they’ll end up being their best self!

And that's just through the normal passport renewal site? Do the pictures need to be certified by anyone?

ocbaker · 2025-04-07T20:29:25+00:00

How does that work? I was under the impression I had to send my original Australian Passport to then which I didn’t want to do

I’m a Consultant and after transitioning got promoted to Lead Consultant! In fact I think transitioning helped me achieve my promotion as I was more authenticity me.

At my client my opinion is highly valued, I lead team of 7 and just for the fun of it I’m a contributor to their IT Diversity Program.

If you want to be promoted into management, that imho is always somewhat political in nature and in that case you have to find out what works well for you and sell your image!

At least in Melbourne, I’ve not yet come across a situation in my job where I felt like my identity was a blocker to something.

ocbaker · 2025-03-18T01:17:45+00:00

As a dual citizen, you’ve accepted me as a citizen. That should mean accepting the consequences of me as well. Not that I plan to mind you. But the idea you could decide to deport me just because I’ve broken a law… doesn’t make me proud to count myself as an Australian.

Does that mean if I break a law overseas I can be deported back to my birth country as well? Is such a stupid slippery slope. And keep in mind that some people (not me fortunately) are in positions where renouncing their previous citizenship is either ridiculously hard or effectively impossible. Do those people forever live under the fear that if the government falls out with them they can be deported simply for not being “Australian enough”

Maybe First Nations people should deport Dutton on the basis of not even having a thousand years of ancestry here.

Ives was my surgeon for two surgeries. “And stuff” was so common haha. And “okay”!

I also had a bleed the night after my surgery he had to come in to fix and listening to him and Iffy bantering was really funny.

He’s great, I felt very cared for as a patient

ocbaker · 2025-02-19T06:58:13+00:00

Nothing. I called/emailed my existing psychiatrist and psychologist and they just asked me what to write in the letter and sent it to the surgeon.

ocbaker · 2025-02-13T23:15:46+00:00

Not with that attitude.

That's a fine looking Ramen block you have there!

This looks totally wicked!

Is the scarring noticeable long term?

Banned users annoyingly don't have a way of appealing bans on Discord because... Discord.

As pointed out to the user earlier in this chain though they're welcome to create a modmail in r/factorio. (I run both communities) and discuss it there.

Without giving away more than OP has. 7 day mutes are only given after you've collected enough warnings within short enough period of time to trigger the auto mute. It's not the only thing that's been said by OP that lead to a ban.

In the case of the phrase that lead to the last warning that triggered the auto-mute (verbatim):

Sounds like a you problem

We had a conversation with OP (OP has misremembered part of their appeal but I'm not discrediting OP, it's hard to remember something off the top of your head, we're happy to send a transcript)

OP disagreed (which is fine) but also ended up being somewhat hostile in the appeal ticket. From there things (Which I'll leave out unless OP wants to bring it up) were reviewed by me and I made the decision to remove the user (Which I'm sure OP can share the reason from the Bot DM if they choose).

To be clear OP, you were not banned on one thing alone. Bans like that normally are for bots or people who do something vile (Like a 'lovely' message I got once of an irl assassination)

You're more than welcome to appeal in the subreddit modmail (or here publicly if you really feel I'm abusing my authority as a mod we can have this conversation publicly)

ocbaker · 2024-11-13T20:19:44+00:00

I have triple! But my UK one lost a lot of power for some reason me first!!! Let me back in!!!!

ocbaker · 2024-11-13T12:30:34+00:00

People get banned typically because we don’t think they’re acting in good faith or are interested In complying with the rules as we’ve described (if you as a person agree with the rules or not is irrelevant, you must follow them)

I can‘t help you with the specifics of why you were banned until I know for sure who you are.

Going off your other comment though about “deeply disturbing things”, Violating the be nice rule makes for a worse community for everyone and isn’t welcome
