Hello everyone, as you may have noticed there are now standards for off-site behavior as determined in this thread (you can also find them on the Site Rules) and I would like to re-evaluate the reasons for Shadow's and Corgi's bans to see how they line up with the new standards.
The main reasons for them being banned ca be found withi these screenshots. As well as Corgi's negative behavior against ZaStando and several users, one of which being Sera.
I will now go over my list to determine whether ShadowWarrior and Corgi did any actions that are against the site rules:
Actions that lead to the destabilization of the site (such as videos, forum posts, Discord chats, etc. that create drama), whether or not it was systematic.
ShadowWarrior and Corgi did not create drama according to Sera's definition of drama outlined here, she even goes as far as to say that the 2019 Discord "drama" did not affect the site in any significantly negative way and that the only thing that happened was a couple RVTs got flooded with drama that was no one else's business but those who disagreed with each other in the first place. As such ShadowWarrior and Corgi did not destabilize the site and they also did not plot to destabilize it.
Threatening someone off-site, be it a threat of violence, hacking, doxxing, sexual harassment, etc.
Corgi and ShadowWarrior did not threaten anyone.
Harassment of users in their immediate surrounding (ex. Someone constantly messaging you with insulting comments via DMs or PMs)
First things first: All screenshots of Shadow and Corgi slurring and insulting staff and regular members within the confines of their private Discord server are completely irrelevant since they did not happen within the immediate surrounding of the target of said insults. For ShadowWarrior there is a screenshot within link 2 where he tells Corgi to troll Zamasu Chan, just like he did to Cal. This could be seen as co-operating in harassment, however Corgi still has a choice to not do this at this point and it turns out that he did not and only talked about Sonic with Zamasu. Zamasu also did not report his conversation with Corgi as harassment to my knowledge. The conversations with other members seemed to go pretty normal (I don't have any info on what happened with Cal and possibly Mr. Bambu however) and with DDM he mainly talked about Sonic, albeit a bit rude (ex. Why do you downplay Sonic instead of saying I have a feeling you downplay Sonic). Corgi even said he was not attacking Medeus within the screenshot, granted I might have only seen part of the conversation so if it escalated then that can be brought up here. With ZaStando he made some statements that are very questionable, however he did not harass ZaStando that way and he also did not mean anything from those statements.
Engaging in online criminal activity (Not including piracy).
Corgi and ShadowWarrior did not engage in online criminal activity.
Impersonating someone for malicious purposes.
Corgi and ShadowWarrior did not impersonate anyone.
For further info and scans you can read the full defense document here.
My conclusion is that ShadowWarrior should be unbanned since he did not violate any rules except for possibly telling Corgi to troll Zamasu which would only be a minor violation if it can even be seen as a violation since Zamasu did not get trolled to my knowledge. Corgi probably warrants more discussion but for now I do not see anything against him either.
