Your Character or Steam Name: Raymond Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): 76561199380807322 Your Discord ID#: 965737745131642961 Reason for ban: Item Transfer. Length of ban: Perma Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): apology Why should you be unbanned? . I am going to start off by saying what lead up to the ban and then why I should be unban. First off, when I was ban I was ban for Item transferring (there is a script to prevent it). Me and a long time friend and ooc family member wanted to test out the new PK script. He texted me one day and asked if I wanted to PK one of my old characters, i said why not because I was not going to use it anymore, and why not have a good rp with it. So what we did was I mugged one of their chars in the crew so then they would have a reason and they could get a good clip for an edit or YouTube video (not really sure what it was for either YouTube or something else all I know is it was being clipped for something). So then once everything happened and the guy I mugged got set free, I went to drop the stuff I took out of the guys pockets and dropped it. I know that the rule book does state " you may not transfer money or items between any of your characters in anyway. Nor are you allowed to act as the middleman for someone else's item or money transfer. Transferring items or money between two of your characters is not permitted under any circumstance." This quote says how any type/sort of item transferring is strictly prohibited no matter who your doing it for. I am wondering if we can do a zero tolerance policy/ 1 strike policy if you choose to remove my ban. I do understand it was wrong and I do understand that I have extensive POs. I know that what staff may see when they see my play time and my past POs may think that I am not worthy of being the the community but I owe up to what I did. It was a first for me, I have never item transferred before. I have tried to do any type of item transferring, but for some reason on this day I thought it would be a good Idea, I am not sure why and now I deeply regret it. I want to be able to come back and play with the people that I have played with for years from other servers and with people I have met in this server. I think I am ready to come back and that staff should take this appeal into consideration. I think that this 1 strike policy will allow me to be able to play and prove my self to the staff that I am worthy. Take you for your attention to this Matter! Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Likewise you may not transfer money or items between any of your characters in anyway. Nor are you allowed to act as the middleman for someone else's item or money transfer. Transferring items or money between two of your characters is not permitted under any circumstance.

Name of Character: Rodrigo "RD" Diaz Character ID: idfk SteamID: STEAM_0:1:114065865 Your Discord ID#: C.oco Date of PK: 20/08/2025 Reason for PK: leaving the Faction Whitelist. (I presume) Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: Me and Dark Chocolate. (Aka Bullets) We were just chilling and decided to see what Rudaj was about yadayadaya. Bullets gets whitelisted, I crash during the whitelisting, so I wasn't even shown anything such as drugs, Oil, guns or anything illegal. I come back on, get whitelisted, and the guy who hired me tells bullets to show me. Bullets doesn't even show me anything until I crash again, and then when I get back on, he's unwhitelisted by staff. So at this point, what's the point of me being in the faction if A. I haven't got my friend in there. B. I haven't been shown anything Illegal. C. I wasn't even shown anything or had any proper RP with the faction. So I just leave the Wl Without buying drugs, guns, Oil or anything. Since they already unwhitelisted the guy I'm with..... If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: N/A

+1 He has been banned for 8 months, every time I have a conversation with the guy they aren't bad compared to before he was banned. I honestly think he has matured and won't be a problem if he is let back.

1. Roleplay Skill vs. Community Behavior Much of the support in this thread revolves around the idea that “Whispers” was an exceptionally creative and immersive character. Supporters describe the voice acting, the unique presence, and the sense of atmosphere the character brought into roleplay. While nobody is denying that drm009 has the ability to create an interesting persona, this point is ultimately irrelevant when weighed against the repeated issues that led to his removal from the community. Roleplay skill is not the same as being a good community member. A player can be talented in creating voices, writing stories, or acting out scenarios, and yet still be harmful overall. What matters most is whether someone contributes to the health of the server and respects both the players and the staff who keep it running. The unfortunate reality is that drm009 consistently demonstrated the opposite: a pattern of hostility, an inability to respect boundaries, and behavior that escalated tensions rather than defused them. 2. History of Hostility and Aggression Looking at past conduct, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident. The ban did not occur because of a single mistake or a minor misunderstanding — it came after a long buildup of concerning behavior. There are repeated accounts of drm009 becoming confrontational in OOC chats, making comments that crossed the line from heated debate into outright insults, and lashing out when criticized. This kind of pattern is not something that can be overlooked simply because a character was memorable. Every time staff attempted to address issues, the responses were defensive or hostile rather than reflective. It is telling that even now, the focus of the appeal and the supporting comments is primarily on the supposed greatness of the character, rather than genuine acknowledgment of the harm caused. That lack of accountability is the clearest sign that nothing has really changed. 3. The Nature of the Supporting Comments Another red flag in this appeal thread is the style of the supporting comments themselves. Many of them read as over-the-top, excessively flowery, and suspiciously AI-like in tone — long passages of dramatic praise, calling the character “irreplaceable” or framing his absence as a deep cultural loss to the community. This sort of exaggeration feels performative rather than genuine. In reality, no single player is ever irreplaceable. The community has continued without Whispers. New characters have arisen, new stories have been told, and the server has thrived in spite of this absence. To suggest otherwise diminishes the contributions of every other player who has put in the effort to build experiences here. It also feels manipulative, as if the goal is to pressure staff into reversing a justified decision by burying them under walls of inflated praise. 4. Risk of Reintroducing Drama If this ban were to be lifted, it is highly likely that the same issues would resurface. Nothing in the appeal or its replies demonstrates that drm009 has genuinely reflected on their past actions, taken accountability, or made efforts to improve how they interact with others. Without that foundation, there is no reason to believe that the outcome would be any different the second time around. The last thing the server needs is a return of old drama. Every time one disruptive player is reintroduced, it risks reopening old wounds, reigniting arguments, and creating unnecessary division. Communities thrive on trust and consistency, and nothing erodes that faster than the perception that toxic behavior is tolerated simply because someone is entertaining in character. 5. The Ban as a Necessary Safeguard Bans are not handed out lightly. When a permanent ban is issued, it is done so with the understanding that staff have weighed the evidence, seen the recurring behavior, and determined that the risks outweigh the benefits. To overturn that decision would require overwhelming proof that the player has changed, acknowledged their wrongdoing, and demonstrated sustained improvement outside the server. None of that is present here. What we do see is an appeal that leans on the character’s popularity rather than accountability. We see supporters who write long essays filled with flowery language but little substance. And we see no clear plan or assurance that the problems that led to the ban would not repeat themselves. 6. Protecting the Health of the Community Ultimately, the question staff must answer is simple: does unbanning this player make the community stronger, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone? Based on everything here, the answer is clearly no. The risks are too high, the past behavior too damaging, and the lack of genuine accountability too obvious. The health of the community must come before nostalgia for a single character. Countless players contribute every day without causing disruption, without disrespecting staff, and without driving wedges between members. Those are the people who deserve to be prioritized and supported — not someone who repeatedly undermined the community’s stability and is now attempting to return without real change. Conclusion: While drm009 may be skilled at creating characters, roleplay ability is not a substitute for respect, accountability, and maturity. The ban was justified, and nothing in this appeal demonstrates that it should be lifted. Allowing this player back would risk undoing the stability that has been built since their removal and would send the wrong message about what behavior is acceptable. For these reasons, I strongly urge staff to deny this appeal and uphold the permanent ban.

ah hellll nawhhh, i dont comment much on these apps but FUCKKKK NOOOOOO. dog.... i remember banning you almost 4 times in a row literally 30 minutes after being unbanned, you'd get banned again. you're a massive minge and cop baiter. i don't think you've ever actually JOINED a faction lmfao

basically just tried to alt to get back into the server and now asking for an unban, be a little more honest and say you fucked up. STEAM_0:1:958330584

opinions on staff apps mean quite literally nothing when you comment lol

WELLLL WELLLLLL WELLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE

One of the main reasons you got banned, yet in one of your only chances of being unbanned, you directly admit to continuing what got you in this place.... I'm not staff anymore, but I do remember investigating your mugging chars, they weren't mugging chars, because you mugged on every single char, and constantly item transferred. While it wasn't an item transfer 1:1 as the rules define, you abused your characters and consistently rewarded your other characters with your mugs. This completely takes out the risk factor of losing your character, hence you're giving yourself just the reward part left. All this to say, in your appeal, you directly say you'll continue doing what you were banned for. I'm not staff nor does this message even mean anything, but I do genuinely do not believe you fit anywhere into the server and cannot find your ground.

bigger maps mean more dispersed population, which makes the server feel empty or gives less chance to factions who aren't in the "main hangout areas" i understand you said you're new, but basically this server has been on southside for quite a while, then a couple months ago Pendred figured out how to edit the map, and since then has been improving it like crazy from the workshop version.

.

You wrote my name, but I didn't blacklist your flags, as per usual you were cop baiting for hours on end, you finally get caught by the cops then you push my cop car, exploding it, yours gets unflipped and you get away once again, just to rinse and repeat cop bait. It's not been remotely long enough for you to get your flags back in my opinion, not to mention you still have 17 bans and 21 notes. (No bans since December, notes I can't check), but still. Keep up the good work and you'll get there. PET Blacklist Blacklisted by: STEAM_0:1:45640448 Reason: prop abuse

@vasectomy

its not always about server location, it could also be server performance. for example if theres a lot of cars out, it'll cause more ping lag naturally, because cars are heavy to run on a server.

system worked exactly as intended and the ban was warranted. if you ask for a dollar, and someone gives you a dollar, your request was fulfilled. the system was coded to stop someone who is currently banned, from joining on another account, using the same ip address. without breaking garry's mod TOS by writing a 'hwid' and not easily exploitable, this is the simplest way. garry's mod function GetIPAddress is the most identifiable thing that they give developers, unless hey, give us your full legal name, address, hwid, and download this funny exe every time you join the server for server 'security'. doesn't that sound a little crazy? sorry ill stop causing beef, but you are negligent, be happy you're getting unbanned

licenses already exist for this, theres a casino license and a gambling license, if you have a casino, you get both, but you can also NOT have a casino, but get a gambling license to legally run WHATEVER type of gambling you want. people already hosted horse racing through props and machines, but you could do whatever tf u want, poker, dice, etc...

cars requiring players to function probably is gonna be a no-go and i can guarantee that. the problem is that there is no certainty that players will be on to fill up your pumps, and even at that, if it was an npc doing it for you, its just more steps to driving a car.

literally stole what i said when you said 'add more ways of getting rid of a body' ur a joke shut up

Not the banning admin here or nothing, but heres some interesting stats to prove why you should not be unbanned anytime soon or given any sort of chance! First join, 2nd of February, 2022. Play time, 11 days, 11 hours, 42 minutes, 21 seconds. Whopping 18 bans and 12 notes. Your total ban time is 91.96 days. (Excluding most recent permaban) (Read two lines above....) Total ban time compared to play time, is approximately x8. (banned 8 times more than total play time) Numbers below are including the actual time banned (including = lower averages, excluding = higher averages) Average bans per month? 0.61 bans per month. Average notes per month? 0.43 notes per month. Total months since join time to last ban date? 28 months. Total months (28) divided by playtime? x73.12. You are a chronical rule breaker and have never learnt. You have multiple serious offenses on your account including Global Rule 13s and others. (This is all public record) Nothing has changed with you, never has, never will.

Banning Admin Here, When someone else had just gotten banned for mass stabbing AFK police officers in the PD, I was spectating around the PD. I then see you charging the PD front door with a knife. I freeze you and your friend and give you a name change prompt. You don't change it, so I give you another one and make you aware of the situation. I said, word for word, "if you run in there and stab the cops with your knife for no reason, you, and the person who gave you the knife are going to be punished for it." You picked a new name and went on your way. Not more than 5 seconds later, you run into the PD and start stabbing cops then die. Now, by rules, that would still be a ban for a first time offender like yourself, yet because I told you literally NOT to do that, and you did it anyways, thats why you got banned. To read your appeal, I did. Its not remotely okay to raid the PD. Not being strict, I told you exactly what NOT to do. You cannot raid PD without UA approval, and in this instance, your raid was to just RDM. A real mafia would raid the PD to get someone out of jail, not kill as many officers as possible with a kitchen knife then get gunned down. More and more lies. I told you prior to you entering the building, I even told you after I tped you to a sit when you died that you shouldn't of done that. In the end, I think you got lucky with only a 3 day ban.

When joining a crime family, you get this message as a prompt and rules that you must follow. You were killed because of dons orders for "incompetency" and "failure to pay dues". 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.

Your excuse of "it should've killed him" isn't enough. You tried killing a cop, got unlucky by not killing him, and got hit back for it. Yes he might've been unconscious to "not remember" (not true too btw), but when he woke up, he literally saw you pointing a gun at him. 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.

the way that got yall a brand new map!!!! (its called gate keeping pal)

You were on someone's property, who doesn't have the proper paperwork for your little stage. The clip prior is to show context that you were seen harassing the members of the establishment. PET flags are meant to expand on your properties, not to minge by placing it on others properties, and etc... If you get your flags back, what will you do differently if provided the same situation?

With your PO's and the short cut clip, it all could've been solved by simply showing a longer clip, it seems intentionally cut. Even in both of the clips both of you are talking about how you've come back and punched them out before. It was a little unclear at first that punching windows could result in harm to a person, but when its done in a mingy way and consistently to annoy the shop owners, yes absolutely you can be punished for it by being shot/harmed/punched/killed. 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.

What about Gol D. Roger then? That one is also vac banned.... Lying on your ban appeal wont get you unbanned, 2/3 accounts that you were alting on (regardless if it was hacked or not) still means you were hacking on those accounts, and got banned for it. Why the hell would someone hack an account, just to join this ONE specific Mafia RP server, and get it banned for cheating huh?

Based on the low effort ban appeal, and the clips provided, this is very clear RDM baiting and no intent to roleplay, you come into the store with the only intention of causing havoc/getting someone to shoot/kill you. 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.

i really think this application can go f

Because you chose to ignore almost every other point I brought up other than "nah didn't happen", can you answer this one? https://medal.tv/games/hackers-m/clips/ioBlYBTiPprP9run-/d1337ugeejEt?invite=cr-MSxteWgsMTA3ODcwODM1LA

"Probably show in my medal" least obvious trying to hide cheats cheater....

Before I say the whole “banning admin here” text, you should go back and re-read your ban reason.

Banning admin here, You got banned for the 3 reasons because of your mugging group. Unlucky that you got involved. Not only was it a mugging group, with intentions of ruining other's roleplay experiences, but you were abusing your alternative characters to buy guns and "sell" them to your friends. When asking the rest of the group about their intentions with the name of the group and their plans, they brought up "Detachment zero did it, why can't we?", your group was mugging multiple people very often, then asking the police department for money to release the prisoner. TLDR: Your only intention, as a group, was to involve police. Oh btw, I am still in the group chat so if you need proof, I can pull it all up for you. Along with my DM's with MVPMason.

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted. The ban will be reduced to 2 days from now.

add school buses to drive around and tanks. lets add some fucking tanks, give tanks to the taxi workers and just blow up entire blocks of the map. we should add tanks, infinite ammo. +1 me for president.

There is no real evidence of metagame. Looking into it, even if it was an accidental kill, the servers system requires it to be a member of your own faction (and it was) it would still be a valid PK purely because you were still set active from the dons orders. When investigating this, I also assumed it was a little odd considering the dates and times. I was told "8 months ago" you were transferred out and given full permission by the Don at the time. So I got to digging, my earlier replies were wrong, I re-checked logs and I think everyone included on this forum was a little confused by two different situations. As everyone knows, Weiss turned into Takashi. On the 22nd of April, 2024, you loaded a character that was in Pruz faction. 11:17PM On the 22nd of April, 2024, you were transfered, by Spaceium. at 11:46PM On the 24th of April, 2024, the orders were set. Logs for faction transfers go back 4 months, orders were set within 1 day, 2 hours, and 41 minutes of you leaving the faction. Which leads this to be a valid PK. Even after with DMing Spaceium, he said you were given orders by a Don, yet, the only proof he was able to provide, was by a Capo. Which means you did not have permission to leave. Spaceium also noted that he does not remember transferring you, yet the logs show otherwise and that right there, is the reason you were pked. Sorry once again for all of the confusion, I assumed all of this was one giant situation and one single log search that I did improperly made me believe it truly was a false pk. But after getting some different eyes on the situation, it is 100% valid.

PKing admin here. You were told why you were PKed and the entire situation because your link wasn't working. You were pked because you failed an attempt at a mugging, you put someone under fearrp and gave them the command of "hold still jew", that person retaliated and managed to kill you. This is called a classic failed mug. Now if you say you wearn't trying to mug him, you 1. Held a gun to his head. 2. Gave him a direct command and expected him to comply. 3. Had restraints in your inventory and a pistol only. (nothing else basically). If you want leniency on this, you should've read the rules. Including the PK guidelines.

Overrated, all underrated, cccf

Macleod firm - 2021 grant enterprises first technically (100 less charid on that char)

#007 was ran by an illiterate roblox coder, I’m a real coder and not illiterate. thought and effort was put into this application, along with organization of the members of their opinions

When joining a faction you received a prompt on your screen saying something along the lines of "Joining an illegal faction is extremely dangerous and can get your character killed at any time ... etc". They didn't specify to me in the sit what exactly the disrespect was. You broke faction rules, not server rules. I am not in the Colombo's therefore I do not know their rules. The PK is a consequence from roleplay actions where the don (boss) of the crime family, that you decided to join and vowed you life to, decided you could no longer be kept alive.

You make a character with the full purpose of snitching. You've done this before, and did it again. You lied to UA by saying you joined a "week and a half ago" yet we have logs for recruitment. You joined 5 days ago. You lied to UA by saying you snitched "yesterday" yet not only Canadian-Bacon, but myself, when I was taking pictures of you, were snitching 2 days ago. These are both important times that you should remember. The whole problem stems from you snitching to cops with zero reason. You snitched on Altoviti before anyone knew who you were and told them "they were going to kill me", yet not a single person knew who you were, so you knew, 100%, you were going to die randomly? Yet no one had a reason to do anything. You died because you were caught, snitching on something that didn't even exist yet and probably wouldn't of ever existed if you weren't so stupid. TLDR: You made this character with full intent JUST to screw over a faction that you were blacklisted from, had zero reason to snitch and had zero reason to suspect that you were going to die, because no one knew about you nor did we care until you brought it upon yourself using OOC information, in character. I agree with Monaclu, blacklists are stupid, but when you do stuff like this? Yes, absolutely you should never be allowed in a faction again.

hes talking about how u cant buy 2 of the same car anymore, because people would just buy 50 of the same car to store shit lol

Hello there, pking admin here, the reason you were pked was because you died during mugging someone. The person you mugged retaliated the mug and managed to kill you both. In the sit, and in the appeal, you talk about power gaming yet talked about your friend being a rule junkie. (Don't mean it offensively, just that he should know the rules too) This rule here, clearly states that you as the muggers need to bring your own equipment to continue a mugging to retrieve the belongings. I explained to your during the sit that the reason it is not power gaming, is because of game mechanics. Mugging is a serious thing in the server and has many consequences. You and your friend, not only did not have any restraints, but did not figure out game mechanics before trying it. This is where mugging rule 6 b) is in play (shown above). https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/2bRhH2qvhgwdQB/mjQ6HIhoEflC?invite=cr-MSxYV0UsMjA1Njc4NDg3LA Here is the clip if you're curious or want to re-watch. 3rd guy was uninvolved because the second the muggee killed both of you, the fearrp dropped because the knife was up, and the shotgun was up. 3rd guy was uninvolved, got a metagame warn, and sent on his way. OTHERWISE, if 3rd guy was involved at the start of the mugging, the muggee, would've been pked. (If you aren't aware, the admin who approved the PK must reply with a full explanation as to why and how it was approved so that a higher staff member can approve/deny your pk appeal.)

orrrrrr.... just call a staff and get the guy warned/banned/dealt with for NITRP?

Oh, I also forgot to add, since you knew that you disconnected, on purpose, during RP, your ticket then said "I'm stuck in here for no reason". Either you're trying to lie to staff to get released or forgot, but still was the entire reason why I looked into it.

good to see you still can't read

In-Game Name(s): Walter "Lee Harvey Oswald" Dunbar, Lieutenant Kion Por, Ryo Masa, Assistant District Attorney Joseph Mariano, Jaxon "Jinx" Johnson Steam Name: anzati1 Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/anzati1/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:150242301 Discord Username: anzati1 Age: 20 When did you first join the server: 2021 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 1mo 4w 1d 2h 55m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 3-6 hours per day. Have you read the rules?: Yes Do you have a working microphone?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must meet the weekly minimum ticket quota of 20 tickets? (Unless you have posted a valid LOA): Yes Are you familiarized with SAM and/or Nutscript commands?: Yes Do you acknowledge that lying on this application will result in immediate denial and blacklisting from staff?: Yes ------------------------------------------------- Long Answer Questions proceeded with an asterix require a response of 5 Sentences Minimum. What is your motivation/reason for applying?: I get on at really weird times when not many staff are motivated to do tickets OR when there are simply just no staff on to do them. I wanna help with the "downtime" of the server, which is mainly when I get on. I've got quite a list of notes and bans, but with my schizophrenia I can instantly swap personalities to a serious staff man. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: I've been playing the server for quite a while, and only ever stopped playing once between 21 and 23. I DO know the rules suprisingly. While I don't have the biggest name on the server, it's mainly because I don't care for ranks in factions. In general, you should chose me over other people so that the staff team can compensate for the people who get on at the same time as me. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Long ass list, don't remember ranks or lengths but just know that I have almost 17k hours in gmod. Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: 7 bans, 7 notes. 1 ban is super funny. Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: They would all say I'm a great guy serving the community by donating clothing to orphan children and picking up trash off the street. I've been here for quite a while but not many old players from 2021 play anymore, if they do then they're apart of a very small group that has stayed playing. My reputation is usually Kion Por as the hard ass guy, or the clown suit guy cause thats a pretty big thing on the server. What is your favourite moment on Diverge so far?: Probably approved riots or just playing cop, theres always something to do as PD. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Not a clue, didn't really ask anyone, I think if they cared enough they'd comment. ------------------------------------------------- Problem Solving Detail step by step exactly the actions you would take. Someone RDMs and you are currently off-duty. How do you handle this?: Make a ticket or talk in admin chat like anyone else, I'm not above staff or rules whatever, I shouldn't be taking my own tickets or dealing with my own situations because of potential bias towards the player who RDM'd me. If no staff replies then thats that, other players have to deal with the same thing so I should also have to do that ya know. Its kinda like a DMV line, no one gets to cut it. 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?: Create an evidence list to prove my points then bring it up with someone higher ranked then me on what the next steps are and obviously hand over whatever i got and relevant information. A member of your faction / friend of yours has a ticket made against them accusing them of RDM’ing, and minging. You know that this person rarely does this when you play with him. How do you proceed knowing this? Does it constitute possible bias?: Fuck em bruh, ruthless ass mf i am. If they're breaking rules, they get the appropriate punishment, don't care who they is. If its obviously intentional, its their fault and they should know the rules. Also honest to god, I don't know half the people in my faction.

cool in theory, but hard to re-produce optimally. i did make one for this past Christmas, but once again, any rain/snow effects that arent built directly into the map are going to be laggy for clients.

ok
