+1 nice guy as a cop -
Thank you a lot for some insight. Medinator had planned on killing Daniel Cybo due to IC Conflicts and some OOC means. I was part of his will and in this will I got access to one of his bank accounts. His character in Sons of Silence (Henry Williams) had reached out to me and me and him had an IC discussion. We decided it was in our best interests to try to put a hold on any beefs the Bonanno family and the SOS might have had (Mine and his characters are Capo's). Following these events, I had given him my Mint Suit that I've already pre-owned for awhile now, and gave it to him in good faith as a gift in order to solidify our agreements ICly. The bank account that I was given due to the will, had a Mint Casino suit in it already, so I thought why not give my current one to him? No point in having 2 of them.

Your appeal has been reviewed and denied. We have determined this PK to be reasonable and/or justified. You may not re-appeal this PK.
-
Hello, As the PKing administrator explained, you leaving the faction after touching the racket does open you up to a PK. Which is what you did and subsequently what happened to your character.
-
Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.
-
Seems like you got auto banned for suspicious link posting. Be careful what you paste next time.
-
Ban expired.

Pretty it's like this because there's an issue with the fish world prop and this is easier than going through like two dozen fish and painfully trying to fix it.

In-Game Name(s): Danny Silvershine, Daniel K. Park, Adrian Nakamura Steam Name: Psykho Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/RealPsykho/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:95772378 Discord Username: Psykho Age: 25 When did you first join the server: Back in December Total playtime on our Servers: 550+ Hours across all characters Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating? At least 15-20 hours per week, possibly more depending on volume and server needs. Have you read the rules? Yes. I’ve read through the general rules, PK guidelines, and a lot about general legal RP on the server. I also recently took a long-form quiz on the fundamental rules and passed with a high score. Do you have a working microphone? Yes, I have several working microphones. Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? Yes, I acknowledge this and will do my best to fulfill the needs of the community by meeting this quota. Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands? Not all of them entirely, but I am used to several admin-related systems and can adapt easily. Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff? Yes, I acknowledge that the truth is important. ___________________________________ Long Answer Questions: What is your motivation/reason for applying? My main motivation for applying is to enhance and protect the experience of my fellow players on Diverge. Roleplay can already be challenging at times, and I’ve personally experienced moments where I needed staff assistance but had trouble getting it. With over 8,400 hours in Garry’s Mod and a strong desire to help others, I feel a genuine sense of duty to give back to the community that has given me so many great moments. I want to be the reliable staff member who ensures everyone can enjoy their time on the server without unnecessary disruptions. Why should you be considered over other candidates? I believe I should be considered because I am highly accountable, have no ego, and maintain a strong growth mindset. I hold myself to high standards and am always hungry to learn more. Beyond general GMod experience, I bring deep knowledge from my roles in the Courts, Bar Association, police department, and both legal and illegal businesses- knowledge that not even some current admins possess. While I don’t see myself as better than anyone, I am confident in what I know and how I can contribute meaningfully to the staff team through my experience, merit, and dedication. Do you have any previous staffing experience? Yes. This server was built in part by Canadian Bacon, who I staffed with years ago. When we were teenagers, we both served as admins on a server called Chronet, handling in-game admin duties as well as forum work such as appeals and ban requests. I was there for at least a year, possibly closer to two. After Chronet, I staffed on several other Garry’s Mod servers, though I don’t remember every detail of those positions anymore. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why? No, I have never been banned or received any warnings or rule punishments on your servers. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you? Yes, I would say I am fairly well known in the community. Many players recognize my characters, whether as the fair/teacher cop Danny Silvershine, the prosecutor Daniel K. Park in the courtroom, or Adrian Nakamura as a lawyer, arms dealer, and mechanic. Across all of these roles I’ve focused on creating and empowering roleplay for others while treating everyone with kindness and respect. Even when there is in-character conflict, I never let it create out-of-character bias. I believe most community members see me as fair, consistent, and someone who genuinely enjoys bringing positive energy to the server. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far? I have quite a few favorite moments, but the ones that stand out the most are the times I’ve been promoted, whether it was at the District Attorney’s Office, within the police department, or inside various crime factions. There’s something very satisfying about seeing all the hard work and dedication pay off and get officially acknowledged by the community and leadership. Have any staff members recommended you? Not at this time. I haven’t made any staff members aware that I’ve applied yet. I plan to reach out privately to those I know for support once this application is submitted. I prefer not to name-drop or create any sense of open bias, that’s simply not how I like to conduct myself. ___________________________________ Problem Solving: Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this? If I am able to hop on duty without interrupting important roleplay, I will do so and take the ticket directly. If I am currently in the middle of active roleplay, I will keep an eye on the ticket queue and the flow of tickets being accepted by on-duty staff. Once my roleplay concludes, if the ticket is still open, I will request that the player remake the ticket so I can take it properly while on duty. If the admin system allows for better handling of off-duty situations, I will quickly learn and adapt to that method to ensure the situation is addressed efficiently and fairly. You have seen a fellow staff member of higher or equal rank than you abusing fairly often, but never doing anything too noticeable. What do you do? The first step I would take is to speak with them privately in a calm and respectful manner. There may be context I’m unaware of, and addressing it directly like a fellow team member can often resolve the issue without escalating unnecessarily. I would explain what I’ve observed and give them the opportunity to clarify or correct the behavior. If the issue continues after our conversation, I would then escalate it to higher staff following proper protocol, always prioritizing the integrity of the staff team and the community. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. How do you proceed knowing this? It doesn’t matter how well I know the person or what my personal experience with them is- everyone must be treated fairly and equally under the rules. If no other staff member is available to take the ticket and it falls to me, I will handle it with complete impartiality, judging only based on the evidence and server rules. If at any point I feel that my personal connection could create even the appearance of bias, I will immediately disclose this to fellow staff members and recuse myself from the ticket to ensure fairness. Maintaining trust in the staff team is more important than any personal relationship.

Hi, I was a banning admin involved with this case: Here is a snippet of my response to Medinator's appeal, which is I suppose in a way the "primary" appeal: "The way that this reads to me is that the actions of your Altoviti character have directly benefited your SOS character. Which is textbook char abuse. Having reviewed both the item logs, as well as the chat logs for the times surrounding your interactions, it becomes clear to me that at the very least, there was an intention of providing the Mint Suit (and other items) from your Altoviti to Sauerkraut, and having him repay you on your SOS char, which happened to be with another Mint Suit." Essentially you have been banned for your role as a middleman for this semi-Item Transfer / Certain Char Abuse. You have some priors for similar rulebreaks, which landed you with a more equal ban, rather than a slightly more lenient one. Your character was *not* pk'ed - just to specify. It is my opinion that you allowed Medinator to provide you with items from his defunct char, in exchange for gifts to his new SOS char. Hence you were banned. Hopefully that clears things up a bit, good luck on the appeal!

Hi, I was also a banning admin on this case alongside Dutch. We were pushed this case by higher staff and chose to handle it together. The way that this reads to me is that the actions of your Altoviti character have directly benefited your SOS character. Which is textbook char abuse. Having reviewed both the item logs, as well as the chat logs for the times surrounding your interactions, it becomes clear to me that at the very least, there was an intention of providing the Mint Suit (and other items) from your Altoviti to Sauerkraut, and having him repay you on your SOS char, which happened to be with another Mint Suit - Something that is unsurprising considering you are known to be a huge fan of said suit, and as you claimed "I will always get my hands on a Mint Suit one way or another" You cannot use transactions, trades, or other forms of value from one char to benefit your others - Providing all of those items to Sauerkraut knowing your situation on your Altoviti char was precarious and then receiving a copy of the exact suit you like the most to your new character are evidently two situations that are linking the actions of Char 1 to the benefit of Char 2. Hopefully that clears things up a bit.
