Let me get to the point. There appears to be a misconception that we here at the Sietch support Spacebattles rules, mainly concerning appeals. This is utterly false, we do not support the rules of Spacebattles nor will we punish here those who break the rules there.
As far as their appeals go, we have no involvement and no interest. While you are perfectly free to post your appeals at other sites here in an open thread and will not be breaking any rules as a consequence, we would be remiss if we did not remind all of you that people from our sister sites constantly monitor us and will use anything you say as an excuse to take action against you there. We do not support this, indeed we unequivocally condemn using one's actions on a different forum against one here (or vice versa), but we cannot force others to behave as reasonable adults.
This misconception is largely on me for a singular comment I made advising someone not to post an appeal here. My intent was to prevent said member from suffering backlash for this at the other site and prevent him from getting banned. Not because there is any coordination with their sites Mod staff. But apparently it seems to have been taken that way.
Hopefully this should clarify matters.
