The Brickadia Controversy - Post your issues here

DingoAnanas

Cardboard Knowing people experiences with this game, you will likely never get unbanned with their policies. Yes its very unfair, but its brickadia. When you look at the negative reviews on steam, you will notice a majority of people saying the moderation is abusive, and an echochamber.

Cardboard

DingoAnanas i know right? it's so fucking frustrating knowing that for as long as i live, i will forever be banned without any chance of appeal or redemption, because those damn fucking mods won't fucking listen.

Cardboard I guess now you will have to get another steam key with a different username. Yeah this is the only way.

Cardboard

Totodile i know, and it pains me because i've grown so attached to the cardboard persona that trying to start again with a new name and idenity just feels weird to me, and not just in brickadia, but outside of it too. i don't think it'd be right for my voice to come out of a digital persona that wasn't me in every sense. i am Carfboard, everyone on discord, telegram, and wherever else i exist on knows me by that name and persona, so abandoning that for some hastily made alternative identity feels oddly wrong. i'm too attached to Cardboard and i can't bear the thought of ditching that persona in favour of something else.

DingoAnanas

Cardboard I didnt see this message. I know more case of people unfairly banned for stuff outside the game, and they were never unbanned. I tell you again, you cant win this. Considering the database error, idk, but ye, thats the first time i hear this error.

Cardboard

DingoAnanas i want to be unbanned, i want to be unbanned so fucking much, i miss every little bit of socialisation i had with Brickadia, i want to fucking scream at them "UNBAN ME!" until my throat and vocal cords become utterly thrashed, I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF BEING BANNED… i really honestly loved the brickadia community and what little parts of it i did see i will cherish forever… and i just want to be back there. i miss it greatly with every fiber of my heart, y'all are lovely, and i just wish i could hang out with you lot in game… but i guess there's no real chance of that happening without either a moderation reform with new moderators being elected or staging a protest/resistance movement to try and pressure the devs and mods into reconsidering their decision

Cardboard

this is a meme i made as a sort of vent piece

"can't have shit in Brickadia" indeed

DingoAnanas

Cardboard Roth and my feeligns when we got banned in early 2024. Idk what to tell you to this point, it make me very sad to see people getting banned for obscure reasons…

DingoAnanas

Cardboard Till recently i used to be very vocal regarding the devs and all their funnies thing. Till i got banned a second time over some idiot misunderstanding (without communication ofc). Now i dont want to be banned another time and i dont take parts in this anymore.

But you have my support, i really understand you when you have a very big frustration and can do nothing. As much as i love brickadia, i feel the game will never rise because of theses issues we have.

Edit: the hardest in what totodile said is losing your identity. It happend to me when i created a green seed. Why? Dingo ananas died this day and people started to like a green seed. So when a green seed died too, i felt broken. I cant forgive to the team for what they did, and i will never be able to calm that frustration in me

Cardboard

DingoAnanas thanks, even just a little tiny bit of support and even a small amount of people who are rooting for me and are behind me every step of the way makes me feel just a little bit better about things… i want this story told, i want more people to know me and stand up for my cause, i want people to rise up against this bullshit system and protest, i've had enough and i want out of this little prison cell.

Cardboard

i don't want a refund, i don't want to make an alt by rebuying the game on a burner steam account and making some boring fake name, i just want to play brickadia multiplayer as the only name i've ever known online, which is Cardboard

to play the game as a pale imitation of myself, with a name and virtual vessel that isn't truly me in all senses of the word, and to have my voice come out of a username that isn't made out of the experiences i've had in the brony and furry fandoms since 2020/2021 would feel rather foreign and weird. having a character that isn't the beloved Cardboard with the red and beige scarf, those grey and white striped legs, the brown racing gloves on the hands, the aromantic flag patterned arms and pansexual flag pattered torso and those signature grey tipped ears with that adorable little rabbit nose (or white canine snout with a grey bit on the nose) and the :3 face would feel like putting on a facade. it'd be uncomfortable for me to exist as any other silly little brickadia character.

i love my little avatar and trying to be someone i'm not would feel suffocating to me. in brickadia i live and breathe not as a measly human, but a silly wacky lil furry fella. this is me, this is who i am, and to be anyone else would be doing a disservice to my sense of idenity and self.

DingoAnanas

Cardboard I still think the perma ban for that is very abusive. They said it would be 1 day then 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, and after 2 years they would unban. Its very unfair.

I feel this post so much. I am Zombie_Striker on every account - Discord, Reddit, Minecraft, Steam, Blockland, Brickadia, ect….. because that is me. I have a friend, who also is attached to his username, and because he annoyed a right-wing Unturned group/youtuber, he was labeled a pedophile and an online hate campaign started that ruined his online image. Depending on who you ask, most people will only know him for a "dossier" that shows he is a furry, support trans people, asked questions about plural people, and had a relationship with at 16 yo *when he was 16.
*
He had to create an entirely new username because of it, and because I started to get dragged down because of it, I also then either had to choose to stay with my username and potentially be called a "pedophile supporter/enabler", or swap my usernames entirely. I ultimately chose to keep my username because it was that special to me - it is me - so I truly understand this feeling.

I also know that they probably won't back down unless they are shown how fucking dumb the moderation ruling is (Remember when they banned trans flags because you couldn't create the nazi flags on a historically accurate WW2 server?). Unless you can muster enough people on the outside, or muster enough support from people on the inside who are also disgrunted/supportive, you're not gonna get far - which is to say you must gather support. This is not an easy fight, and it really should not have to be a fight, but it has to be.

I'm not banned by them (yet… I'm doubtful my critiques here will be looked upon favorably either), so I would like to support you if I can, and I also want to keep playing as well. I will probably start doing youtube videos again, try to gain popularity within the brickadia community again, and keep myself in good spirits while I do good work. I also know the EOL relays still exist, and IDK if the ban prevents users from using EOL servers in general, but I wish you the best in finding a way to do what is right.

Cardboard

DingoAnanas well it's been 3 years lol, and the only ban i recieved is the permaban one, so i doubt there's anything i can do. 3 years and they still think they can get away with this? that's ridiculous, i am outraged beyond belief!

DingoAnanas

Cardboard Its their new policy from 14th july 2025, i still think everyone should have been unbanned.

Cardboard

DingoAnanas i agree. i don't want it to take 2 years from now, i want redemption right here and right now!

honestly i'm tired of these mods and devs screwing everyone over and i wish everyone (within reason) who was banned during the open alpha was unbanned

like, obviously if they were causing actual danger and harm to Brickadia's userbase then obviously they souldn't be unbanned, but for me i should be because i wasn't harming anyone when i joined Brickitect's server or any of the other servers i had joined, and you'd know this, Dingo, cuz i saw you there in the server while i was online. i was just chilling, vibing and being friendly and nice

DingoAnanas

ye true, but also ye, devs.

Cardboard

it feels like an uphill battle i can't win, it feels like no matter how hard i try, it all ends up being for nothing. i hardly try to do anything about this because i worry i and others will put considerable amounts of effort into this whole thing only for the effort to end up wasted because the mods say "yeah no **** you, you're staying banned for all eternity, stop trying to bugger us about it" or whatever

i swear i just don't get why they're so fucking stubborn about it all. i'm not a danger and they banned me permanently yet when port and evar were being actual dangers to the community with actual verifiable evidence that that they're fucking disgusting self admitted pedophiles who draw the most disgusting deplorable artworks ever conceived, it took them literal fucking months for zeblote and the like to actually do anything about it all while they banned all discussion of the situation and tried to sweep it under the rug, and even then their attempts at fixing it after months of community pressure and genuine safety concerns just left even more problems in the wake of it all.

this entire thing is stupid and smells of bullshit. the fact that when some random no name person called Cardboard who's being completely harmless and not causing anyone any trouble shows up, the mods ban them permanently with no chance of appeal, yet when port and evar, well known developers and brickadia users were doing actual harm to actual vulnerable members of the community, they just sar on their hands and did nothing about it until the community pressured them into doing something about it is beyond frustrating

I DID NOTHING WRONG, yet they still feel the need to remove me because of stupid false allegation drama from some other shithole community that had nothing to do with Brickadia. and when Port and Evar did actual harm within the brickadia community, the mods and developers did nothing, even though there were actual goddamn community safety concerns regarding those two devs.

i swear this feels like a double standard. they ban random people for stuff external to brickadia and refuse to budge in regards to their decision, yet when two developers were exposed for doing actual fucked up things within the brickadia community and potentially outside of it, they were treated like spoiled royalty and kept on the team for months without even so much as the devs and mods entertaining the mere idea of "actually lets get rid of em!"

Cardboard

this entire thing is bullshit and i want a way out

like i said, i don't want a refund, i don't want to make a burner steam alt and buy the game a second time, i want to be unbanned, i want to be free

the fact that they banned me in the open alpha then didn't lift this ban once early access came out despite their pinned moderation policy update on the game's steam discussion forum saying they would reverse most open alpha bans for EA is rather stupid

if you're going to announce "hey, we'll be unbanning most banned users and we'll also be tweaking the way we handle stuff" and not do anything about it, then what was the point of the announcement?

Cardboard

y'know i've been thinking… is it even worth pursuing this intangible and impossible goal? is it even worth mustering up every bit of effort me, my allies and those who agree with me can put into chasing this one thing? you bet your bottom microbrick that if we do succeed in talking to the mods, there'll just be the usual canned response of "we believe Cardboard's ban to be correct, we will not appeal it and that is the end of it, stop fucking pestering us about it!" and we'll be back to square fucking one.

what's the point of continuing if all we get is the same bullshit over and over again? they said they were gonna change the way moderation works, they said they'd actually fix this mess, and yet they never did, while me and many others are still stuck in single player purgatory for off platform shit that wasn't even part of brickadia to begin with.

why should we, hell, why should I be chasing such unobtainable and impossible goals? they clearly don't give a shit about me, they don't want to deal with my situation, even though it was 3 years ago and happened in a community that had nothing to do with Brickadia, they're stuck in this way of thinking and i doubt they'll ever get out of it.

but at the same time i have a oh-so-small amount of hope and determination in me, a hope that shines more brightly than any old spot light and point light component ever could. the fire of determination to see this through, to fight for what's right, to climb onto Rockwell City's highest point and tell the people of Brickadia "i will not be silenced, and i shall be free!"

i'm in two places at once. one place tells me "give up, it's not worth it, just accept defeat and move on", the other tells me "to hell with their unfair practices! go up to em and tell em "f*ck you i won't do what you tell me", tell em that you've had enough and want to fight for your freedom! ", and i'm unsure where to go. i want to fight for what's right and have my account unbanned, and while giving up and admitting defeat would hurt like hell, i feel like it's all i really have left.

this entire thing feels unfair and stupid and i'm so fucking angry about it, yet i don't think i can even reason with the moderators even if my allies put their all into explaining everything and build a compelling argument as to why i should be unbanned.

Cardboard

sorry if i'm clogging up this thread with my constant yapping but idk where else to put it where it'll be seen and heard by people.

DingoAnanas

Cardboard Its ok this place is made for it. Rothary and i tried to rant at the devs asking for explanations for like, 3 years more or less now, we faced a wall. This is an echochamber. Idk how it work in their head, but surely it need maintenance (heh). They prob wont unban you. Move on, or do what totoldile said. Sorry for that.
