[2023] Dunce role in DRG discord, with no notification message of why

Original Post — Direct link

I have a dunce role in DRG discord and can't type. What's the deal with that? And how do I get un-dunced? I didn't get any notification from anyone about it.
Is that standard practice, of moderating someone and not letting them know what the deal is, or was this a breakdown in process? Just want to know if this is a permanent thing (one strike soft-ban sort of deal), or if there is a path forward for me in this community.
I read that there is a rule about avoiding the mute by leaving an re-joining results in a permanent ban, which I want to avoid obviously!

Send me your username and I’ll look into it. In general it should be obvious why you’ve been muted (eg. requests from moderators are not followed, you’re a repeat offender etc), and if it’s not, you should have been told.

It is common practice, as, despite the mod team being generally decent people, one moderator in particular likes to use his power in ways most would call unfair.

Consider yourself on a countdown from now on, as repeated "offenses" will result in a permanent ban.

There’s half a million people on the server. Expecting that everyone can get a nice explanatory note with little hearts every time moderation happens might be something we can strive for, but due to the sheer size of it, it’s not exactly realistic.

I just wanna say that there really are not any request from moderators to stop in my experience like when I got muted no warning for typing diggy diggy hole in response to a post when there was no rule stating it wasn’t allowed and I got no request to stop and number 2 I got banned by i believe tater for posting a joke about playing tic tac toe on someone’s forehead in non drg chat as a response to somebody else’s post and I got banned no warning just felt you should know that your mods don’t really like to give any warning

Not always. There’s half a million people on the server, and things can happen fast. Warnings are usually issue through a bot, so if you’re not able to receive DMs you might miss it, but I don’t have insight in everything single thing that happens.

I do have DMs open but I have not gotten warnings for the 2 events I would also like to ask to be unbanned while I am here cause I think that ban was kinda unfair

Going to need a username

No, but seriously.

What would a gunner call "guns" that don't weight at least 100 pounds?

From the perspective of an ex counterstrike player, this game is a breath of fresh air. Thank you GSG for this masterpiece.
