Original Post — Direct link

So we were joking about hazard levels like " in haz 30 you play as maggot", "in haz 31 you play as gunk seed" etc. So the next haz level was 34 and i joked with a reference the good old meme about rule 34, so my message was "Haz 34 is easy. Don't believe me? Google "Deep Rock Galactic rule 34"!" got immediatly banned and can't join anymore, is there a way to you know, return or maybe talk with moderators about this, because i don't think it was appropriate to just ban me without any explanation?

DRG discord mods are terminally online and love to power trip over the slightest thing, banning people without explanation. If you look up "discord" in this subreddit you'll see dozens of posts from people banned for very silly stuff.
I suggest you just stay away altogether.

You also see people get unbanned, when they realize that they can’t do their usual “very silly stuff” on an official discord server with almost 600k members. :)

Asking people to Google something that will result in straight up porn results on the official discord with half a million people should not be on the list of your brigthest moments. Think about it for a bit and if you come to a point where you agree that it might not have been a good idea, you can send me your username and I’ll lift the ban.

Edit: I've seen all the feedback, including disagreeing on the original action taken. I'm not saying a ban was warranted, but it's not necessarily uncalled for on a server of this size, all things considered. When it happens, it's also not hard to reach out and get unbanned (so please do in similar situations). Locking the thread, so we can get back to mining.

It's such a harmless joke you could have just said "hey we really don't want people even joking about searching porn in our server don't do it again please" but instead you're out here "not your brightest moment, go sit in timeout for a bit and slightly beg me to let you back in".

Some leaf lover shit.

What you should have gotten fra what I wrote: “If you realize why this doesn’t fly in an official video game server of +500k people, you’re welcome back.“

I didn't though, that's why I wrote the comment.

That's fair, but you also got a bit more from it, which is what I object to.

I got banned for spam by sending the same message twice over 2 days and the message was just harold👍

Thing is, so did a bunch of others. There's context to things happening, which might not always be apparent (which sucks, but it is what it is). DM me your username if you want to get unbanned.

Different platform, different tools. I've chosen to have more relaxed rules here, since there's a NSFW tag and Reddit is self-moderating to some extent. Discord is way more active, and also target of more scam, bots and spam, and generally needs tighter moderation on some things.
