Yeah, you guys are super cynical. I almost regret posting here cuz people are shitting on my post so much and assuming they know what I'm about.

EDIT: But there are some of you who have been through similar, so that's cool to read.
It just feels like a misuse of power to just ban without asking what's going on.

Here's the thing: P99 has an all volunteer staff getting tons of new players and new petitions every day, new RMTers every month, etc. While I'm sure they would love to make perfectly fair rulings all of the time, that would require perfect information, which they don't have. So they do the best that they can with what info they do have, and if they lack some info then instead of spending days researching that info (and putting every other ticket on hold until they do) they sometimes leap to conclusions and ban people first, then fix mistakes later.

In other words, I wouldn't think of it as a "misuse of power" or anything at all hostile, so much as a simple lack of resources. Too many tickets plus too few (unpaid) staff members = not enough time to handle each ticket "properly".

What does an octopus symbolize?

"An octopus symbolizes complexity, diversity, mystery, vision, intelligence, illusion, variability and insight. An octopus can camouflage itself when it feels threatened, and can avoid the dangers as it creates an illusion by blending into the surroundings. Octopus are invertebrates. They don't have a spine and that makes them very agile and flexible.

They can disengage a limb when under attack. The limb grows back after some time which is why these sea creatures are also associated with the quality of regeneration. What can we learn from these attributes? Well, just as an octopus can adapt to the various situations, we must also learn to respond intelligently. Though an octopus stays in water, it is a bottom dweller. It stays grounded in spite of staying in water.

In symbolic terms, this has a deeper meaning that pertains to our inner self. The ability to disengage a limb also has a deeper connotation. This is to remind ourselves that we can detach ourselves from the addictions and the bad habits that put us in difficult situations."
