Hi [Beer]

Thanks for the mail and I am sorry I was not able to reply to you yesterday. I do hope you have had a most epic holiday!

I'm honestly a little surprised that you are not aware of what caused your permaban. I am not prepared (nor do I think it is a good idea) to discuss this in great detail but the final straw which caused the permanent exclusion from the forums was your collusion with one Derek Smart Esq.

You seemingly cooperated with him to spread secret information gained by questionable means. This could be construed as aiding and abetting corporate espionage

https://twitter.com/Beer4TheBeerGod/status/651797953183543297
https://twitter.com/dsmart/status/651945987158712321
https://twitter.com/Beer4TheBeerGod/status/651494946231451649

I think this speaks for itself.

Your opinions and associations are, of course, your business and certainly your prerogative. Preventing your toxicity and malcontent being spread on the forums is, however, ours. All things considered we felt the forum is better of without you. As you are aware the normal 5 step process was circumvented given the serious nature of your actions.

This permaban will not be revoked. Your game access is, however, not affected.

Pertaining to your request to have upgrades removed, I am very sorry but applied upgrades are permanent and removing them is not a standard service request. You are also advised via a system message that applied upgrades are permanent. We do, of course, sometimes make exceptions when a genuine mistake occurred, which doesn't seem to be the case with you. In any case, with the current workload we really have to restrict exceptions.

An alternative (albeit less favourable for sure) would be to utilise the 'Buy Back' system. Technically speaking the buy back system exists to get back pledges you had previously melted but a side effect of this is that applied upgrades would not be restored with the base pledge. In a round about way, then, you could remove the upgrades yourself by melting the base pledge which has the upgrade applied and then buying it back (without the upgrade).

As I mentioned this is far from ideal as the buy back can not be actioned with store credits and you may loose limited availability upgrades, but I wanted to mention it.

I do hope this helps somewhat.

Regards
Patrick

Hi there,
I only just received this and no I don't believe it is appropriate to publish any of this. Also looking at Patrick's email, that is not why you were permabanned. I will have to track down the moderator who banned you and get the real reason.
Best,
Sandi

Unfortunately I had already sent out the e-mails. I then tell her that, she asks why, I tell her why, and then a member of the press contacted me and told me something interesting. So I sent a follow up:

[Beer] Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 7:29 PM
To: Cloud Imperium Games <support@cloudimperiumgames.com>
Hello,

Has there been any progress with respect to discovering the reason for my ban? I ask because I was recently contacted by a member of the press who revealed that your PR representative, David Swofford, said that I "violated our TOS and was banned for his behavior on the SC forums". This seems difficult for me to understand since Patrick clearly indicated that my behavior off the forums was grounds for probation, and reinforced his point with evidence as such. Why does your Director of Communications know more about my punishment than you or the lead moderator? I'm also confused about you needing to find the moderator who banned me. Your own policy clearly states that permanent bans are only performed by Cloud Imperium Games, not volunteer moderators. Are you not following your own policy?

Since things are already out there I will be continuing to share this and all future communications. Thank you once again for being so open and honest with me.

[Beer]

I don't know what to think anymore. I suspect neither do they.

I can't wait for Sandi Gardiner to explain why she recycled her acting footage, and used it on a "Around the Verse" video.
