Byond account and character name:SexyStalker, Sarah tenshi? (not sure what you mean by character name since its usually randomized....)
Banning admin:Oakland something? Didnt catch it
Ban type (What are you banned from?): Server connection
Ban reason and length:Pulling a person into fire and not stating laws?
Time ban was placed (including time zone):7;00pm east
Your side of the story:I was tiny drone and saw a crab breaking class and out in space near escape shuttle and thought "Im metalic, its not." Proceeded to attempt to drag it into fire and then was told by admin something about laws. Which in my defense i didnt know i had laws.. and it did'nt show any option to look at the laws to begin with and i couldnt find it , so i responded like that with limited knowledge of what i was doing.
Why you think you should be unbanned: Everyone makes mistakes it was petty and instead of banning instantly, I feel it could have been more helpfull to actually talk and guide me through things..

I asked you politely if you had read your laws, and you continued to go around and drag/attack him. After a bit, you finally replied with "Reply PM from-Sexy Stalker/(Drone (507)): I care why?"
You should also note the ban reasoning was, as it states, "Attacked a player as a drone and dragged them. After being informed to read their rules, they continued to do it anyway and replied with: "Reply PM from-Sexy Stalker/(Drone (507)): I care why?" You can take this time to read and understand the rules."
While the ban was edited to two hours after I accidentally hit enter on the 1440, generally if you continue to mess around after being asked then reply like that when you're breaking the rules, the receiving end isn't going to be entirely happy. Drones have their laws listed when they are created, regardless of whether you saw them as a crab or not, if you read your laws you'd note it says not to interact.

The laws of a drone are their rules. I bwoinked you asking if you had read them, and then the aforementioned situation happened. If I am unmistaken, the ban timer is already up regardless.

I couldnt care any less than i already do about ban time (aside from perm) but still i certainly think instead of me asking a question and then getting banned... for something i dont understand is pretty damn excessive... those are my final thoughts on this do what you will.

This is THE FIRST thing that comes in your chat window once you jump into a drone body.
You're saying you did not see this at all?

This is also right there at the top. A brand new tab labeled Drone.
If you're incapable of reading gigantic prompts that show up in your window, I don't have high hopes for you playing a completely optional privilege of a role that can heavily affect the round where people expect you to not.

Ignorance of the rules has never been an excuse to not follow them

With this persons awful attitude and obvious minimal effort into rules & laws, Im not sure why a drone ban shouldn't be applied, or at least a heavy note. It seems like this probably wont be the last time we hear of them.
