Do you need more personal information? Do I feel secure you are hitting a wall on information about me? Do I feel safe knowing you cannot sleep at night without knowing everything about me?

There have been so many posts I do not find the one where someone of importance indicates that ANYONE who left or was kicked out is free to talk with them in DM to have a chat on joining back in.
Don't you think it's important to have a chat with the people you are about to get back involved in? Would you (and others) not like to make sure the situation is the one you want to be involved in?

As far as I am aware;
Xenuria
- Banned and blacklisted (thanks to Hezzy's relentless effort on getting the truth).

TheMittani
- Walked out through washout lane in shame. Never to be seen again, abandoning the alliance.
- The people around him no longer support him and clearly stated that.
- Has been replaced with a new leader who is leading us.

Yoghzi
- Has been clearly warned not to engage in activities that exclude/insult/threathen part of our community.

So to be sure on what happened to who it would be best advice to talk to those in leadership as I only know a small part of what is going on and most people in GSF don't even know this treasure trove of information I just posted. Let that sink in. Most people just want to enjoy a spaceship game. No one enjoys political emails from anyone, we all pay to play a game and want to enjoy it with people. A place where everyone starts out the same way. And I am glad we as a community were able to oust some very creepy people.

I have never seen someone say so little with so many words.

The entire point of the Imperium offering a blanket amnesty to the people that got banned for making noise about the issues you list is to make reparations.

Even if we don't accept, and have no intention of returning to the Imperium, it would be the right thing to do and a public act to back up the supposed reform.

This isn't about ~~politics~~, it is about being just and egalitarian.

That's true, I don't really have a to to talk about. So I try to make the best on what was just a short overview of what I think has been made of progress.

EDIT: (just saw your edit).
I understand it would be a very nice gesture. And if you guys are now enjoying what you are doing, there is probably not much chance of you rejoining our ranks. The most important thing is to be in a good group of players. Where you can enjoy the game, because after all, this is supposed to be entertainment.

You've already had an answer to this several times but what the hell I'll bite too. No one was banned solely for "making noise". Repeating this is an attempt to rewrite history. Several members did things like reposting the summary of events and saying "Mittani needs to go" or similar. They were never punished or kicked, and are still around now.

Something I don't think has been mentioned publicly yet is that a few of the delta ringleaders were set to be banned a while back over obnoxious behaviour in other unrelated events. In a twist of irony those bans were overruled by Mittani. Wonder how much he regrets that now...

Asher has said he's willing to review any individual bans, and some may well be reversed. But there won't be any blanket reversal to open the doors for the handful of people who don't want to return and should have been gone long before last month.

Deadtear was shot for posting a sick burn.

I'm pretty sure that Shanes account went for a similar harmless reason.

As an actually active director at the time, this is either a lie, or ill informed

They were a few directors who had no power or ability to kick people, who have the emotional capacity of a loving potato, who took things like helldump shitposting too seriously and were agitating to kick some people for posting in the forum with, infamously, no rules.**

There’s multiple people who have been banned for the crime of “continuing to post on a forum your ancient loving systems hadn’t automatically removed them from yet because it broke and no one checked”

Atrum himself has said some of the bans were and are bullshit

People are banned and it took a loving week to simply add “Delta Schism” to their blacklist entry lmao.

If you’re gonna make up some loving reasons then be consistent about it, or at least get someone who was actually active at the time to write about it - I burnt my way out of the directorate over how poorly the wider alliance leadership handled it and I’m not particular interested in a disconnected leader from the star chamber accidentally or on purpose rewriting the storyline.

**the same fuckwits who instead of caring about someone being the victim of abuse, decided to throw their toys out of the cot about 300b of isk that Mittani set on fire btw

Anyway, Goonswarm has, years ago at this point, consigned itself to a slow loving death internally as it sits there as a decaying and dying culture thanks to insisting on staying on Jabber for all things and therefore allowing the alliance culture to degrade into nothingness while anything actually social occurs in sig/squad/Corp discords.

Jabber consists of Wibla sad opt-all pings, Yoosetsu saying good morning goons in 12 channels to no response, some skirmish commander getting emotionally abused by John Harltley in the SC Channel and nothing else of note aside from pings. After removing helldump you’re basically killing the forums and at that point you’re basically saying goodbye unified alliance culture.

The warhammer 40k metaphors we all loved are unfortunately accurate in that regard

But ive been kicked & banned. And as much as i want to be unbanned, im not gonna go beg Asher for it or ask Atrum to intercede on my behalf.

We should be unbanned on principle. The fact we have to ask for it is, imho, the proof that nothing has really changed. Its a way for Illum to remind us they think we hosed them over. Its a way for them to exert power, "You want back in? Beg!"

If i played EVE regularly, i'd be pissed. But since i mostly just show up for major wars to be a +1 logi, im not too distraught. And I can imagine that for the directorate, my contribution is not worth the time it takes to unban me.

xttz i like you but this is stupid. The reasons given for "not banning mittani" and "all the people banned for 'drama' need to ask individually to be let back in" are stupid and dumb. "We're lazy" isn't any better. And stop appending "space" to everything as this handwavy "it's just videogames" bullshit because the problem in the first place is that real life abuse was being treated like video game bullshit.

The point isn't if Mittani has any more power or if he'll want to come back at all, nor is the point that a lot of the people ragebanned don't even want back. Just ban him and unban everyone banned for 'drama' and be done with it. There is no good reason to not do that stuff.
