So you were banned. Upset, I'm sure. Confused? I'm even surer. This is always an extremely confusing and emotional experience for everyone involved. It's okay. Take a breath, I'm sure you probably matter. Most importantly, you are not alone. Tens of people on obscure forums around the world suffer from Admin Abuse every day. The good news is, you can fight it. There are ways of getting around this, and there is a proper route to take if you think you've been banned unjustly.

The Admin Abuse Help Line is here for you.

However, before you call the Admin Abuse Help Line, please acknowledge the following things:

1. The admin who laughed at you the most in public probably isn't the one who banned you. Retards are a special treasure to be kept around and chuckled at for all time. Most admins have this philosophy.

2. The admin who banned you was probably whichever one was just passing through and saw someone being an annoyance without context.

3. You were (in 90% of cases) being an annoyance.

4. This means the admin you have a personal rancour with and the admin who banned you are very likely two different people. You will need to make your case against both of them.

With that in mind, should you have an issue with any of the admins:
Please message the Admin Abuse Help Line (linked here) with a thorough description of your situation. You will be messaged back by a representative in under 5 business days.

Dear Mr. ISentinelPenguinI,

I hope you are doing well, both in physical, financial, and social health. I have decided to send a message because of the serious grievances I have with the admin system (I would also like to inform you that the words "Admin Abuse Help Line" are both blue and underlined, and I can only assume that such a grating color change is a typo, so you better fix it before a fellow abusee is dissuaded from messaging you due to the jarring aesthetics of those four words).

Firstly, I would like to acknowledge that being the first person to step up and message the helpline is a great feat, and one that took a lot of courage. I have opened a GoFundMe to help pay for the treatment (oxycontin) for the anxiety this has caused me. Please donate so that I can continue my noble fight against Admin Abuse.

Secondly, ban mizal. He was extremely, and by that, I mean extremely in italics, rude to me. He said things along the lines of, and I quote, "Please read the help articles instead of whining and begging other members to assist you". This is, without a doubt, cyberbullying, perhaps even turbocyberbullying (a felony). After reading that, I was on the verge of pants shitting, pissing, and crying. It was seriously that bad. I told mizal this, and at that point, before he even responded, I was banned. mizal was probably the cause of this, as you have outlined in your post.

In a very reasonable way of holding a discourse, I created 71 threads, spread evenly across all of the forum's pages (to reach the widest audience with my plight). Apparently, this is considering "spamming", but despite me claiming that it was simply an attempt to open a constructive dialogue, I was banned again. I creating 24 alt accounts to attempt to appeal this unjust and insensitive decision, but I kept getting banned.

Okay, I might have been in the wrong in this part, but because I am the nicest and best person on the Internet, I have to say this part as well. I might have said something mean. I made a topic titled "mizal is bully" and within it, I called mizal a bully. For this, a ban might have been justified, I admit it.

However, that doesn't excuse the frankly villanous behavior that mizal exhibited at all other times. His constant jeering is what prevented me from actually reading and writing on this site. I fervently want to do so, which is why I spent an entire day working on this entirely sincere message. But I cannot contribute my grandiose ideas to the site if mizal doesn't stop banning me.

So please, hear my pleas Mr. ISentinelPenguinI, I beg you. This website means the world to me after just two days on it, and I desperately want to become a normal member, but I am currently being suppressed and trodden upon by meanies and bad people. I really want to do things, but am forced to spend all my time fighting back to retain my pride and decency!

Yours truly, WizzyCat.

>However, that doesn't excuse the frankly villanous behavior

It's spelled vinala, retard.

Liar! You're not really a victim of mod abuse. Victims are never in the wrong and will make sure everyone knows it. You aren't angry enough either; maybe I would've believed you if you had used caps lock and more exclamation marks and ones.

This is why no one believes REAL abuse victims!

Making sure that people are readily aware of this line, should the time come.

How has business been lately? Are some abused noobs on a points compensation program for their emotional torment if proven it was unjustifiable from the admin in question? 

Granted, I'm not in charge or have any insight on the CYS treasury, but I am interested.

Unfortunately for our newbie population (and fortunately for taxpayer dollars) almost no noobs have come forward with allegations of abuse, and even fewer have pursued any cases.

If any noobs happen to be reading this, I have to say, now is the time. Silence only propagates the issue. If you think you are a victim of admin abuse, please click our toll-free link with your complaint and we'll get right back to you.

Further proof that CYS is a happy welcoming place for noobs run by fair admins since nobody ever complains.

The CYS approval ratings have never been higher! 

At least from what I hear from some rather reputable sources, that are not at all fictional. 

I'd like to complain that Thara is too... amazing! She wrote a really nice review for me on my recent storygame and is generally a helpful admin. All CYStians are great, really (except the spamming noobs but those are still great for entertainment value, so everything's perfect on CYS).

Overall, I'd rate this site 10/10.

I wrote the only review currently on your story-game, because CYStians are dicks that do not read.

... I have read this comment three times now, and still can't quite understand what it means.

How very strange.

I see.

I hear.

I know.

I don't.

The admins are all amazing people and I don't even know why this hotline exists.

If I remember right, the hotline has only ever been called once in our entire history, and the caller wound up apologizing.

If everyone hates you, the problem's usually you. ^_^

No, I like you. Watching you torture everybody with your pre-teen edgelord cringe is fun! ^_^

Oh, the birthday tax was real! I thought it was just Ford trolling. I shall relinquish my birthday points. ^_^

True gamer? Nah I got that title locked up

To be fair I think it's safe to say my best friend demolishes all of us when it comes down to numbers alone

Fallout one is valid fr.

You see what you want to.

Ain't no way this console noob just tried to call themselves a gamer

Wow! Your Turn To Die! That sounds like a really fun game that is way better than danganronpa with neat minigames and an interesting storyline. I wonder how he got that? :3

And no, I haven’t made this joke before.

You win! Hurray for birthdays! Lets all play games and eat cake ^_^

I like Sent's mini wrestling set up.

I also like my mini wrestling setup

I too like your mini wrestling setup

Recently they took 14 points away from me for birthday welfare, but I checked and I received no birthday points this year, so I just lost 14 points :(

Sounds about right for the IRS.   They are kinda like that irl also. If you click the link above you can probably file a return.

I'm really confused about why I've had so many points taken away. Is it because I was inactive? I wasn't aware that was a thing.

So there won't be more random points docked?

Kek

If the Dutch are able to get refunds, may I have my 28 points back? I kind of worked very hard for them (did some drawing stuff).

It's a good thing all 3 of the recent members demanding points are well known to me, I kept instinctively reaching for the ban button every time.That being my usual go to for admin tools and all.

I've been docked a total of 70 points by the IRS. If I'd been on the site that long, don't you think I'd be smarter by now?

Dear Admin Abuse Help Line,

I returned from the dead to discover that while I slept, my grave was robbed of 140 points. I've had 8 birthdays since my account creation (112 points), so I'm missing 28 points.

Life keeps me away. But upon each return, I expend my energy on extensive critiques to prove my dedication. I've also provided free, thorough feedback upon request.

If you could consider a refund, I'd be grateful. Thank you for your time.

I had 10 birthdays here, which is about 150 points.

It seems that I was charged 126 points, and then another 126 points. 252 points total.

I would like the 102 points I am missing, please.

Edit: I appear to have been refunded 120 points instead of 102, and therefore have a surplus of 18 points. I do not know if this was intentional, but I would like to report it regardless.
