So I've waited a few weeks to let the situation cool down some but looks like Stake isnt going to budge on this so here it goes. Just so you know I'm not a complete idiot and was sly enough to record this thread before I was banned and who said what:
https://mega.nz/file/zYkwjQjK#D0CvBOOTRI-YQeKZCz9Rq2B_nnoAqTsROz4TIcnXRdII'm a gamer/streamer and been building a pretty fucking wicked setup for a while now I think im over 8,000 USD into my setup. I had added some things and uploaded the picture to discord (because this removes EXIF and other data from the photo) then shared the link to the photo ONLY in stake chat. Didn't think anything was wrong with this because I wasn't inviting anyone to a channel or anything, just a picture when you open the link that's all it shows is the pic.
A few minutes later I got a notification that I had been muted, and there was no mention of me anywhere in the chat from any staff or mod not to do what I had done.
Ive been thru this whole situation before by AlphaStorm for self promotion which at the time I wasn't aware of and I actually did that time break the rules, but if you notice when you register the Terms of Service (ToS) don't say a friggin word about these rules and I had pointed that out that the notice was insufficient, but they don't give a shit so I served my 30 day ban, whatever.
I opened support chat and Andrija started this routine again "sorry go post appeal, don't care, blah blah blah" basically a nice way of saying "fuck you" to me. So yep, I called him some pretty mean things, because I was pissed that this guy I'd never seen before decided to mute me and not say "hey don't do that" then give me some bullshit run around.
So I posted on the forum appeal and told them, hey your rules don't say anything about photos only invitations to communicate and suspicious links.

https://imgur.com/dY6iV99So I showed him an example of someone actually self promoting and breaking the rules, and to this day this person and MANY others are still not in any sticky situation. Eddie refuses to intervene and I think its a really shitty way for the staff to treat a player who only wants what's best for everyone and would never actually break the rules with knowledge or malice. But, I am a person like all other players, and one of my many flaws is I have a low tolerance for bullshit and toxicity and this certainly hit the spot.
https://imgur.com/zXbKnDwAfter being lied to about "security" in my EXIF data from my image (which I specifically chose to upload on discord for this reason), I waited a few days. I finally gave up went and asked in the same thread for Andrija to add my on Telegram and left my username, so I could have a personal conversation with him, apologize and hopefully make amends. Within minutes of my post, I was PERMANENTLY BANNED for "sharing personal information" in a staff only thread, that had already posted all of my info anyways.
So, I've been unmuted in the casino chat thankfully, however the staff refuses to unlock my forum privileges which for me is a dogshit excuse for banning me to begin with, but also because of the VIP promotions I cant even enter in now because it requires you to post in the various promotional threads.
