It brings us no pleasure to announce that even should Whitmark reapply for citizenship, he will not immediately be welcomed back. The Administrative Team is applying an indefinite ban on his account.
It’s important for us to walk through which actions by Whitmark were actionable OOC offenses, and which weren’t. For example:
We are banning Whitmark because we think he is not in a good emotional state to participate in our community, and that is leading to negative outcomes both for our members and for him personally. He has violated our community standards and put our members’ wellbeing at risk.
Should Whitmark approach the administrative team in the future with an explanation for his behavior and genuine remorse, we will be happy to review this ban. However, until that day comes, Whitmark is no longer welcome in Europeia.

It’s important for us to walk through which actions by Whitmark were actionable OOC offenses, and which weren’t. For example:
- This thread, lodging public complaint with the First Minister and Deputy First Minister is absolutely not actionable. While speaking in a brusque manner, Whitmark is bringing up a valid IC perspective.
- The harsh anonymous comments Whitmark confirmed he submitted to various polls are not actionable on their own. He has the right to express his point of view of public officials, even in crass terms. However, as part of a concentrated, obsessive pattern they may become actionable.
- This thread, where Whitmark addresses the EBC comments is not actionable. He explained his point of view, and while many people thought he was unfounded and incorrect, he should still be able to express that point of view.
- Whitmark’s Discord comments where he discussed the possibility of outing an ex-lover after allegedly being treated rudely are possibly actionable on their own. The Admin team contacted Whitmark immediately after that event, explaining our concerns about user privacy and his threat to “riffle through people's lives digitally in order to extract revenge”.
- Whitmark’s persistent private messages to a member of this region containing excessive profanity and not really containing any IC argument, just verbal abuse, were absolutely actionable on their own.
We are banning Whitmark because we think he is not in a good emotional state to participate in our community, and that is leading to negative outcomes both for our members and for him personally. He has violated our community standards and put our members’ wellbeing at risk.
Should Whitmark approach the administrative team in the future with an explanation for his behavior and genuine remorse, we will be happy to review this ban. However, until that day comes, Whitmark is no longer welcome in Europeia.
