Having your gun off safety and pointed at somebody with clear intent to use it is not an idle threat (especially after your friend dying) Do you think he took it off safety and pointed it because it looked cool? Or he was going to give us a strongly worded message on why that was wrong? Yeah come on don't be retarded, he was going to try and kill us lol.

I understand all that. The point is that, in a situation like that, the guy you killed had the right to make the first move. Just because he was holding a gun with the safety on doesn't automatically mean he was going to try to kill both of you. You never gave him a chance to escalate the situation or do anything at all. You killed him because your friend had just killed his friend, and you assumed he was about to shoot both of you. The problem is that you can't know that for sure. At the moment you killed him, he was an Idle threat, not an Active threat. That's exactly why multiple staff members ruled it as RDM.

Shooting somebody who had their gun aimed at an ally is NOT RDM, regardless of what Tim did or did not do. Your associates got floored!, I apologize! But he shouldn't be aiming firearms at people if they don't want to be shot.

Weapon aimed from the POV of the only guy matador shot https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/mU8pSb4fKoI0CpY7l

Bro, he was just explaining the same thing I already said. Tim Burr got unbanned because the staff member who banned him didn't realize he had already been noted by Monaclu for the exact same incident. You didn't get unbanned because it was RDM and you had prior offenses for RDM. You keep messing with people, take this as a lesson!! and stop annoying everyone. bro!!!!! Good luck with your appeal though. I need you back, its boring as hell without your stupid ass around +1

I was seen using a dance animation before opening fire? You don't even have the right guy, that was Tim doing that, not me.

(I bet he didn’t make the support ticket)

Hello banning staff here, After reviewing the footage, I believe the ban on Matador was justified. The appeal claims the shooting was done in defense of an ally. However, the footage shows that the players who were shot had not escalated the situation to a level that justified lethal force. While there was a verbal confrontation and firearms were visible, neither player was actively threatening Matador or Tim Burr at the moment shots were fired. No punches were thrown, no weapons were aimed, and no shots had been fired. Additionally, Matador is seen taking his weapon off safety while using a dance animation before opening fire. Whether intentional or not, this concealed the animation from nearby players and allowed him to get the jump on the individuals he ultimately shot. As for Tim Burr, his ban was removed after I realized I had relied on a note that was tied to this same incident. Since Tim Burr did not have prior offenses, there was no basis to maintain his ban. Matador, however, had a prior Slight RDM note, which was considered when determining punishment severity. Based on the footage, the lack of sufficient escalation from the players who were shot, and Matador's prior history, I stand by the original ruling.

This has been the only situation from yesterday, LOL.

Shy is the banning staff member. Different incident than the one I reviewed.

I've been told this is actually a *second* situation with you guys, so who knows. Apparently you all were on some fuck shit last night or something.

Nigga did get banned and then unbanned, where the hell is my unban

Well I can give part 1. User made ticket to report you two for RDM. Had the shortest clip ever, showed just like a gun on safety and a countdown, and someone got out and shot him. I told user "Hey lets make sure we're following escalation rules. i.e. when you threaten an individual with a gun you have to point it. Obviously you didnt shoot him, so not serious." Told other user "Let's make sure we're waiting till they point the gun to take a shot at them, and dont be dancing to prevent them from seeing you pull your gun" (It was tim burr) I was not made aware of the larger firefight or given any further information Later, Greenghost stated that he had a new clip and asked if it was "Handled". I said I wasn't aware of a longer, fuller clip, and that he should assess the situation himself with the new information and make a ruling. He did so, which led to your ban. P.S. "Why didnt my friend also get banned" Dry snitch ass nigga

They are my Serbian brothers, they have actually messaged me asking me about conflict their 3rd friend Mare said but I wasn't home at that time to respond, after I came home and I found out I called them on Discord and they explained everything that the 3rd guy that was in Kosher lied about a war or conflict idk and when he shoot they shoot too. I can assure you that they won't do such a thing again give them another chance if they do it which I am sure they won't don't ever give them a chance again appealing won't work for them anymore. +1

Hello, As you can see Yuki did very clear and extensive research trying to give you leeway before you were banned, the provided documentation is as clear as possible; There was no way you could "hear" your friend from that far a distance. Looking at the clips there is also no way to tell that he was your friend since he was in no clothing that could've made him easier to identify. Yuki was gracious enough to allow you to try to give a reasonable explanation but you were unable to give one. Being stated, the reasons for the ban are valid. If you don't want to be banned for violations of the rules its simple, just don't break the rules. If you cant do the time. Don't do the crime. Your ban appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this ban to be reasonable and/or justified. Ensure you have read our Server Rules.

Hello, As you can see Yuki did very clear and extensive research trying to give you leeway before you were banned, the provided documentation is as clear as possible; There was no way your friend could of heard you from where he was. Additionally being a white shirt would of made it impossible to tell it was him from afar.

Your ban record is quite extensive and I don't feel comfortable with giving you another chance sans conditions. Please make a support ticket to discuss this further.

Do you recall what I said on your last appeal(s)

+1 my son

+1 free him

-1 holy retard suggestion, PC still gets abused. Only time PC should be allowed is for operations not patrols. Dets shouldn't be camping ghetto in plain clothes waiting for someone to grab a shipment with a gun on safety

+1 I've known Sosa for around 3 years from various different communities, he was actually a big help during the start of my Diverge experience. I'm not going to sit he and act as if Sosa wasn't a minge as I was partially victim to his antics as I was a Bonanno during his time in De Leon, but if he has been this consistent with appeals I believe he should be given a second chance. I don't think the "pay the toll" catchphrase is a fair approach to this ban and I think he should be given another chance and if unbanned should be watched for a little. I also would like to note Anzati was insanely correct with the PVP over RP comment, De Leon a group that was full of minges but thankfully they've changed their ways as of recent, ix_crazy for example, he isn't perfect by all means but he is definitely more behaved compared to 2024 and I feel this might be the same situation for Rupert/Sosa.

+1 unban spooky bro lowk dont remember how ik him but from what i think he is a good guy i dont remember lowk

Your Character or Steam Name: Spooky Pyro Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:69780698 Your Discord ID#: 666780178290311175 Reason for ban: Metagame | PO's Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Apology Why should you be unbanned? I have been banned for almost two years. In that time I have made 3 appeals on this ban, understandably they have all been denied. I still have continued to play on other servers and stay active within other gmod communities, in one I have become a prominent player for my police rp (before my discharge) and pvp. I have also never alted or tried to cause severe discourse in this community. I was banned two years ago for metagame and before that I was already perma banned for rdm bait. I had a substantial amount of PO's ranging from metagame, rdm bait, and rdm. With the addition of this perma ban I reached 16 bans in total. When I was unpermad for rdm bait I said that I had changed and I was a roleplayer. But I quickly devolved back into the reasons for my removal of this community. I agree to what anzati said in my second appeal, I was associating with people who only wanted pvp instead of rp, but I am not going to act like I was too immature to not act different. Looking back into my old clips I can see that I was nothing but annoying. Sure, I was having fun but it was easy to see that other's were not. I have already apologised to the community numerous of times in appeals. There is nothing more that I can say or bring up other than how apologetic I am. It has been two years after all and I am looking to have a fresh start playing in other factions. I have had people reach out with the same question "when are you coming back". From both sides, people from the "anti-commission" zeitgeist as well as people in the commission. Some of those people have offered to pay for my unban but I always shy away from it. It is summer break and I want to try diverge again. Additional Information (images, videos, etc):
