Still a poor app for a staff member compared to the other 2 It's a staff app, the response was based on the individual 'I think we should enforce the rules' - Doubt any staff disagree with that

I can agree with a guy without thinking they'd be a good staff member I think he sounds objectively bad for staff considering the whole 'I want to be a dick to people' powertrip Compared with the other open apps this is poor

+1 has a lot of experience, not sure what other gmt staff there are other than myself too

-1 because of the whole 'im going to be an ass thing' being the main push of the app, also curious how you were bad staff in the past though i do think points on being stricter on minging are super valid - it's gotten so much worse in recent months

+1 have known him to be realistic and reasonable, despite having very little interaction

+1 makes a lot of sense

+1 good guy, been around awhile and well spoken, I'm sure he'd make an efficient and considerate staff member!

Could do with a much more detailed response to basically every question!

Seems like a good guy, honest and non-drawn out staff app, has been staff in the past +1

I said your behaviour wasn't malicious, you were ignorant to the rules, and that is okay. You told me you believed there were 10 people who enjoyed the roleplay, which cancels out the people who reported it, and that they'd join you in a staff report. Feel free to open that report if you see fit, I am sorry you are unhappy with my responses

Hi - As a final response: Your PTSD RP was invalid, and not a reason to begin conflict with the police - which you did by spraying bullets and hitting them numerous times. It also wouldn't have helped you IC-ly with your court case. The decision to ban you and treat this as a rule break was mine, not the players. They did not report you for RDM or Cop Baiting, but with the information provided via logs, clips and testimonies that is the outcome I deduced. I tried to have more productive communication with you, but you were more interested in telling me about how you would be making a staff report with your 10 friends if I punish you. When you are unbanned, I hope you will not insist on 'roleplaying' in the same way. Thankyou for sharing your perspective

Your ban was unrelated to IC law, and was to do with your server rule breaks. I apologize for a lack of clip to show you, but your sprees are findable in logs, and your own ban dispute details quite well that you broke the rules. As specified - your PTSD roleplay is not a valid reason to engage in conflict. I don't believe you did this maliciously, and I'm sure you will hopefully have learnt from this experience, and be able to provide better, rule-aligned RP in future.

Hi, I'm the staff member who handled this ban - Firstly, I'm sorry you feel your ban was unjust, and I'm hoping I can make it more clear as to why I had ruled this way. NITRP: In terms of this clause of your ban, your PTSD roleplay is something you are welcome to build into your character, in terms of casual roleplay moments such as speech, mannerisms, and talking points, I think it could provide a really interesting character for others to interact with. The reason this fell short for you, is due to 1. your lack of truly bringing that character into your interactions with others, and 2. due to it only really existing to justify your shootouts with the police. The 4 officers who I dealt with had individually reported you over a course of time for PK tickets, but due to the time these weren't able to be handled. Every time you were hospitalized (killed) you would return again and engage in the exact same behavior, but none of these other players were aware or supportive of your PTSD roleplay as a reason to be shooting them. This leads me to look at character rules 11 and 12, as well as how your gameplay is preventing these other players from achieving the RP they are looking for when they play PD. When I eventually took the ticket "I have a question for staff" (Or similar) and they explained the situation, I felt it was the correct course of action to follow up rather than let this cycle continue, and leave a sizeable group of players unable to enjoy the server. 11. You may not have a minge/non-serious character for 'messing around' 12. You may not have a character for the express purpose of mugging/raiding RDM & Cop Bait: If you were to read through the Killing Rules again (which can be found alongside plenty of other server rules on the link provided) there are a few clauses that go against your killing reason. 15. In the same vein there are still times when you can't shoot police and it would be considered RDM. You may not KOS Police for no reason. 18. 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. There are no rules or mentions in the Killing Rules that support PTSD as a reason to engage in conflict with the police, especially without any prior interaction or RP, even with your characters past in the PD whitelist. Hopefully that highlights the key reasons why I decided on your ban!

-1 - I think with the prior bans and such a more detailed and well thought out app would've been necessary

+1, seems well liked and experienced with moderating- wish all the text wasn't bolded though made it hard to read
