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):10 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Andy "Noir" Moris Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:439522528 Your Discord ID#: xsfqn Reason for ban: RDM Bait?? Length of ban: 1D Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned?: Because it was not a RDM Bait. I was walking from Wright's pharmacy towards Little Italy when an unknown person noticed me and pointed a gun directly at my face. I asked him why he was pointing a gun at me and he replied "Nobody is putting up anything in your face man, "FUCK OFF" If he had answered respectfully, I would have said "my bad" and left the area. However, after being insulted and told to fuck off, I replied with "or what?" He then escalated the situation further by saying, "Or I'll fuck you up man, get outta here." I was roleplaying as a Black character living in the 1990s who had just been threatened and disrespected. If my goal was to RDM or bait someone into shooting me, I would have pulled out my gun immediately instead of following the Escalation Rules. After receiving a direct threat, I replied with "Try that shit" and attempted to throw a punch. As I started walking away, he said, "You missed, retarded." I turned back BECAUSE he INSULTED ME AGAIN. and i replied, "You don't even have the balls to fight like a real man, you fucking nerd." When I pushed his door, he pulled out his gun and SHOT me in the legs. Only after being shot i pull out my own weapon and return fire. I would also like to mention that the player returned to the scene immediately after dying. He came back, interacted with me and locked the door back (because door was left open when he died) and break the NLR Rules. If he denies this, the logs should show that the time of his death and the time he locked the door again are very close to each other. What I do not understand is, if the other player was uncomfortable with the situation or did not want to engage in that type of roleplay, why did he insult me, threaten me, and escalate the situation further? He could have continued the escalation without immediately resorting to gunfire. When I attempted to punch him, he had the option to fight back physically instead of shooting me. If he had chosen to continue the roleplay with a fist fight, I would have accepted that outcome and moved on. Instead of choosing any of those options, he decided to resolve the situation by trying to kill me. Does defending myself and returning fire after being shot really make this RDM bait? I only reacted to the options that were presented to me in character as the roleplay developed naturally. At no point was my goal to Bait someone into shooting me or create a reason to Kill another player. To summarize, he tried to kill me and failed. I defended myself and returned fire only after being shot. Around thirty minutes later, I was banned for RDM bait. I believe I followed all Escalation and Killing Rules correctly and simply reacted to the situation as it developed through roleplay. I want to ROLEPLAY, and ignoring a roleplay situation would make no sense when roleplay is the reason I am here. I am fully aware of the Killing Rules and Escalation Rules, and I have read them many times. I understand that, from an outside perspective, this situation may look like RDM bait, but that was never my intention. As I mentioned before, I was simply minding my own business when an unexpected roleplay situation happened. When I asked the staff member which part of the clip was considered RDM bait, I was told to make an appeal instead of receiving an explanation. I also requested a second opinion from another staff member because I believed the decision was incorrect, but my request was ignored.

Your Name: sslero SteamID: STEAM_0:0:145668774 Staff Member involved: Yugi What was blacklisted from you?: Character restriction Reason for blacklist (if given): Why should it be returned?: First of all, it has been a few months since this happened, and I don’t fully remember everything that led to this restriction. As far as I remember me and my friend mugged someone in the red area behind Urban Outfits. After that my friend got killed by the mugged players friend, and he ended up getting PKd. If I remember correctly Yugi was the one who handled the situation and he was still a moderator at that time. After the situation i left and later got a character restriction because of what was seen as a fail mug or something like that i guess? I dont have any problem with Yugi, he handled everything fairly at the time. I just dont fully remember the exact reason why I got this restriction. It has been a while since then, if possible i would like to understand my mistake better and if you think its okay, Id like to ask for a second chance because this restriction has been affecting my gameplay for a while now, and I would really appreciate if it could be removed. I promise I will be more careful going forward.5 points

Name of Character: Snibble/Tommy Brown Character ID: SteamID: 76561199576302526 Your Discord ID#: 754422012826353706 Date of PK: Death 17: 16:47 UTC - 16/06/2026 - Reason for PK: I was asked by a faction member to follow them and give them 90650$ for a big deal in-game.When i droped the money i was PK'd. Why should you be unPK'd? What server rule or PK rule was violated?: I think i should be unPK'd, because i did no harm to the faction never brought heat to the faction and never snitched on the faction. Pk rule violated: The person receiving the order must have the identity (f3) of whomever is giving the order. If possible please provide video evidence or photo evidence if PK does not follow the guidelines: Unfortunately i do not have a clip therefore i can go by the rules - You were slained by 194728 [194728] The order must be given in-game by the Don or trusted High Command member of the family. The person receiving the order must have the identity (f3) of whomever is giving the order, they need to know who their boss is, they can't receive an order from someone they don't know. The person in question, has repeatedly done something to directly harm you, the family, or another member of the family. Unwarranted Harm in a financial (+10,000$) or repeated physical way, there has to be tangible damages, disrespecting someone once is not a reason to kill someone. This also means you cannot PK someone for mucking up JUST one time. Having continued issues or warnings about behaviour or disputes can cause escalation to a PK.5 points

Our Serbian friend from the Supreme Team got us into his crew and he was out that night we didn't believe what our 3rd friend that got banned too said to us about the conflict we messaged him on his discord and he didn't respond because he wasn't home, when he came back on he got told that we got banned because of the 3rd guy Mare that lied the Supreme guy from Serbia teached us everything what to do and what not to do if he was there that night this wouldn't have happened because Mare lied about us being in a conflict and we are so sorry once again this will never happen again you have our word we miss this server a lot and we want to come back with something new and actually bring a normal positive roleplay to the server.5 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Joe Claver Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:129714782 Your Discord ID#: maks8235 Reason for ban: Spreading word about other rival server Length of ban: Permanent Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Its been ages since i have been on diverge and i heard lots has changed. It has been months since i even played on any mafia server, let alone diverge. Kind of realised that those servers failed to achieve what diverge had for ages and i want to get back in and RP with the community i had on there. Honestly, it was never my intention to ever leave diverge, and i never had a chance to explain that all i was saying is that there is another server on the way everyone should try, and i did not know diverge disliked them. I have been playing diverge for a while and always stuck to the rules, i wouldn't get myself banned for something like that on purpose. I had a pretty good reputation on here a while back and no one wanted me gone, and i want to experience the feeling of this server again. Much appreciated Why should you be unbanned? never was my intention to give a bad name to diverge, and i never really got a chance to explain myself, instead i was insulted and left for good. My hours on gmod in general sky rocketed from this server alone, and i spend hours and nights on it, thats how fun it was. I want to see what's new as i heard there was tons of updates, and i want to be apart of the community again. Additional Information (images, videos, etc): Nothing4 points

PD used to have more liberty, it's true, but the PD-Crim interactions in general were different. PD mains were very few back in the day, so most people playing PD understood what playing crim was like. Most didn't throw the book at everyone they ever arrested. A lot would act with what is fair rather than make arrests every time one came across their screen (a main example of this being white shirts minging and being killed after being told to leave places, although an arrestable offence, there was a time when basically no cop would arrest you for doing it). The issue I think we face now when thinking about how to balance PD is that people have stopped looking at it as a "side faction" to make sure the streets are not just pure chaos and have actual risk, and instead look at it as a side to pick, which, for balancing purposes, becomes a much more difficult thing for PD HC to do. The plain clothes detective rule isn't a "big deal" by itself, but I believe it reflects the change in mentality of many PD mains who now use PD as a tool purely to go after anyone they can and care less about the general health of the server and how they are affecting the equilibrium.4 points

There is a way to take cartel RP where the barbarity exists, but behind closed doors. Just because we're not stringing up bodies every day in some elaborate set up doesn't mean we're not a cartel, or that the violence isn't there. You're just misrepresenting what im saying. Most of what you're saying is merely speculation. We plan on committing violent acts, and all of our hits will reflect that. All i said was that it will be more hidden (more implying there will be some acts of public violence).4 points

Hi, With things like this it is often a case-by-case. With this one, it would seem fair to me to say that the TM did not necessarily invite conflict in the first place. The conflict begins with the gun pointing, which was minor, but worth bringing up in RP. He does so, and I would imagine had the other player simply walked off, the situation would have ended at that. Instead the verbal disrespect and further conflict ensues which is then followed by physical melee'ing and an eventual shootout. This is somewhat commonplace in the server. I will mention though that the repeated forcing open of the door is not really acceptable behavior here. In many cases, that could be seen as RDM baiting. With the prior context though, which makes the initial intent of the TM clear in my eyes, it's not a massive game changer. This previously mentioned rule was brought up without mentioning the final line: However if someone continues to disrespect you, you may physically intimidate or hit them. (Fists, melee weapon) As continued disrespect could realistically start a fight. The user then has free choice on how to respond/retaliate. If they choose to flee you may not kill them. There have been a few other relevant rules thrown around in the thread so far, but I would point both involved players to these rules, also: (Disclaimer: Initiating arguments just to attack someone when they return your insults or taking any comment as an insult and immediately escalating to hitting them can be considered baiting as proper escalation / the spirit of the rule is not being followed) and Generally you shouldn't invite conflict then try to hide behind the rules when you're killed. This can also be considered baiting as described under killing rule 6. Intentionally instigating someone or goad them into breaking a rule. Both players invite conflict in different ways throughout this situation though, and overall it feels fairly balanced. Could the TM have done better? Yes, but the other player could also have simply apologized for pointing his gun, or walked into his property without comment. With all of this in mind, it seems like naturally occurring player conflict and I don't believe a ban was necessary for this, thus the ban will be lifted shortly. I'd recommend everyone involved scrubs up on the killing and escalation rules anyway, for good measure.3 points

With all due respect, this is completely wrong. As I said, I was minding my own business and walking towards Little Italy through the alleyway. The guy next to me saw me coming out of there, pulled out his weapon and aimed it at me. After that, I interacted with him and he repeatedly insulted, disrespected, and threatened me. After that situation, if I had just turned around and walked away without responding, I would have looked like a BITCH so instead I tried to escalate the situation in accordance with the rules. I threw a punch, but when the other player continued to disrespect me without giving a fuck, as someone who had already escalated, I then retaliated/responded freely based on Rule 2 of the Killing Rules, since my escalation attempt had failed. I dont understand what I was expected to do in that situation. Am I supposed to just stand there accept insults and threat??, and walk away without reacting?????? I followed the escalation properly and responded within roleplay based on what was happening at the time. I never had any intention of RDM baiting someone. I was insulted and threatened in character (IC). Also i asked you on sit which of my actions you considered RDM bait, or I requested a second staff opinion because I didn’t agree with your judgment, but in both cases I didn’t receive any response. Without giving me a chance to report that the other player didn't comply NLR rules, you simply said “if you have an appeal, go make one” and just banned me.3 points

As a cop main, and someone who used to as a detective, before the uniform policy change. It was overpowered. I think the detectives should continue wearing traffic uniform. The guy who made this forum post already retired from the NYPD and lost interest. Deny this anyway. Boom roasted made the right call to restrict detectives. This is MAFIA RP, not cop rp. We are already given larger privileges. Burns and the detectives can suck up and wear their traffic uniforms. If they wanna go PC, then have an operation ready. Ok!3 points

Your Character or Steam Name: Matador Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199887634168/ Your Discord ID#: Matador11812 Reason for ban: RDM PO X1 Length of ban: 5 days Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute Why should you be unbanned? Tim Burr and I were at harbor and TL:DR Supreme team gave us a count down to leave even though we weren't on their property, long story short Tim Burr sent one of them flying, and the next guy had his gun up ready to kill my friend for this obvious crime! Until I gunned him down. I assume this is what I'm being banned for but defending allies isn't "RDM" and if Tim Burr isn't banned then why the fuck am I banned, LOL.

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 nigga3 points

+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.3 points

A 1 day ban is not the issue for me, and honestly whether it gets removed or not is not my main concern. What matters to me is that I have been playing on this server for a long time, and I do not want my record to be marked for something I believe is unfair. This is important to me because in the past my record has been a reason I could not become staff. For months I have been playing very carefully in case I might get another chance in the future, and I do not want to lose that opportunity over what I believe is a misunderstanding.2 points

Hi Tommy im the one who wrote the orders as it was brought to my attention that you as a felon had been arming whiteshirts who didn't have the proper licensing. Along with being arrested in your company suit multiple times after being told not to draw attention to yourself when wearing the company suit. When you joined the faction you accepted the risk of potentially being pked for violating Faction rules. The main reason you were deemed a liability was your willingness to arm whiteshirts who had been turned away for not having a gun license. When it comes to the Factions gun racket any potential liability gets dealt with asap as its the biggest legal source of income for the faction and anyone getting caught selling our firearms illegally can put the store at risk of being fined heavily or shutdown. Hope this clears things up for you and best of luck on your future endeavors.2 points

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.2 points

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. +12 points

Hey, So to clear things up for you, a cop pulling out a firearm is not initiating violence, for police to start the confrontation they must shoot first. Which was not the case here, you shot at the cop first and died meaning your char got pked. There is nothing to overturn here so the pk will remain in place. I would recommend referring to the pk guidelines to brush up on that part a little bit more. Have a good one2 points

Hi Bullets is entirely correct in pointing out that the server has no "minge hours" or "off-peak" time in which more leniency is (or should be) given to rule breaks. The server is there for roleplay, at all hours, and many players are trying to roleplay and enjoy themselves at these times, too. A lower number of players/staff does not open the door to break rules, and it shows a disregard for the rules that other players ensure they stick to. With all that being said, we tend to stick to a 1 warning system with PET flag abuse, and you have not received a note/warning for this prior to your blacklist. The decision has been made to accept your appeal. Please make sure you are following the rules at all times when connected to the server, and on your next PET related offense you will likely receive a blacklist.2 points

I’m on vacation right now so i’m not really able to access much, but he was obviously able to hear me if he shot. I was in no voice chats during the time of those clips so he shot for a reason and it isn’t metagame, the evidence you have are inconclusive and are far from proof of metagame.2 points

Hey there! I'm the main staff member who was involved with this situation. To start us off, your account was flagged for item transfer and needed manual review before any action would be taken. I was the person who looked further into the logs and investigated the situation. During my review, I noticed a few things. First, your character Dmitriy "Killjoy" Krysha was PK'd on May 31st for a cop shootout. He was removed from the Gopnik account on June 2nd. Within roughly two hours, your new character, Mikalai "Sasha" Vuzkyi was added to that same account. This character was not in Popov, but instead belonged to an allied faction seemingly waiting out the 7 day timer. While on the account, Sasha withdrew, used and sold items that your previous character had helped acquire and manage. Multiple items, such as two Yoon coats, were only ever handled by your two characters. With several other items, even when other people were involved, Killjoy was the last person to handle them before the PK, and Sasha was the next person to withdraw and use/sell them afterward. Your argument that you were only selling clothes for Gopnik does not change the issue. The problem is not the existence of a gopnik account or shared inventory. The issue is that after your character was PK'd, your new character regained access to the same items your previous character helped obtain and then benefited from them. Since you did theese sales, your new character was able to profit from inventory connected to your previous character. The purpose of a PK is to end that character and separate their items, connections, and progress. If a player can immediately return on a new character, regain the same access, and continue using the same resources, that defeats the purpose of the PK system. The first relevant rule is Character Rule 7: "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." I am referencing this rule because, regardless of the items being stored in a shared account, the end result was your new character gaining access to and benefiting from items your previous character acquired/handled. The shared account acted as the access point between the two characters. The next relevant rule is Character Rule 9: "You cannot use a second character to assume a role you were just PK'ed/removed from." After Killjoy was removed, Sasha was added back shortly afterward and resumed the same function of being a trader/seller for Gopnik, with the same account access and inventory access. The concern is not simply that both characters sold clothes, but that your new character inherited the same access, duties and resources near instantly after your previous character was removed. In conclusion, the issue is the overall sequence- Killjoy handled/acquired/sold inventory > Killjoy was PK'd > Sasha was added to the same account within hours > Sasha accessed and used/sold the same inventory. Because your new character continued benefiting from resources and a role connected to your PK'd character, this falls under item transfer/role continuation rather than normal use of a company account. For the reasons I listed and explained, the PK was issued from me. Have a good one2 points
