Hi,
As Psykho has rightly pointed out, you broke the rules pertaining to RDA and Powergaming.
To break it down: By refusing to wait ample time and bypassing the requirement for a staff member to sign off on the autoplea, you committed RDA.
Because you forced a player to take felony charges, and therefore gain felon status against his will - that does also constitute Powergame.
For this you were blacklisted from the NYPD faction and banned.
Whilst I understand your frustration that you had made a staff ticket to try to handle this situation properly, a seemingly long wait time does not enable any player to take staff matters into their own hands. Looking at the logs, the time from cuffing to sentencing comes in at 19 minutes. So it can be fairly assumed the cells roleplay was 15 minutes or less. This is not a long enough wait to complain, in my opinion.
The staff member who would rule on an autoplea is an impartial third party, you avoided the due process, and naturally favoured your own desired outcome to leave the cells as quickly as possible and go on patrol - this is only made worse when we consider you hadn't even waited the specified 30 minutes.
Reviewing the provided clip, the man in the cells did not seem to be particularly mingy or unwilling to communicate - he was speaking with you actively. Non-compliance is frustrating, but it's not an instant autoplea call.
After offering your plea, if there is generally no intention to work out a better plea or accept it as is, you can begin the court process and request their discord - it's generally if complete non-compliance is found at this stage that autoplea comes into play.
Regardless, I do believe your actions constitute a ban, but the length is considerably long. However it is worth us acknowledging your almost 50 collective notes and bans, including your most recent Powergame ban which was set at 14 days.
Your ban will be reduced to 10 days although the NYPD blacklist will be upheld, as you were unable to act accordingly with the tools at your disposal and abused the jailor npc.
As an additional note, please in future format your appeals formally. I understand the upset, but it makes the process of reviewing an appeal much harder.
Thankyou and hope you can continue to enjoy the server after your ban expires!
