Hi, banning admin here! So your ban was actually meant to be extended to permanent but I'll cover why I had banned you to begin with. It was actually, I, that you kept randomly accusing of being a pedophile. Another player had made a report of you threatening to find their IP and dox them. I had taken their ticket and realized you were the same person that had been falsely claiming I was a pedophile on repeat. A member of UA came to the sit after I had requested them to since it then became my sit as well, and told you to knock off the pretty shitty false claims, to stop claiming a person well over 18 was 12, and to stop threatening to grab people's IP addresses. About five minutes later, you were then caught trying to pay someone to go and make the same claims for you, and to shoot up and mass RDM a property. The clip was forwarded to said member of UA and I was instructed to ban you for 30 days and that they would be extending it. For Further context here is both the clip of you threatening to IP trace someone and the clip of you then trying to pay a random white shirt to do it for you. First reported clip Second clip after the sit

That's a hell of a name, +1

-1 we already have the resident mass mugging factions. Don't need a MRDM and mugging one too. Also, gypsies.

In your own clip, you show in the first frame all the reasons this last violation was why I took your flags. You are clearly in the airlock, behind the locked door as the officer was opening it to come out to you. You can also see behind the officer where you had previously posted your text screen, where you could not reach, and was trying to again. Again, yes, if you do the proper /me's you very well can spray graffiti on any surface with text screens. But in this clip, and shortly after when you tried to do it again, you attempted to do the Rp and paste the screens in a place you would never possibly be able to reach from where you were.

+1 a fellow late night degen to help with tickets that also knows the rules of the server and cares about the server would be great

Another PK'ing admin here. This char was banned for mugging char. All you have down since your unban was get banned for fail raid, and RDM (twice) and then create new characters for more mugs and raids after the last one gets PK'd. In this situation, after you had made an RDM ticket while you were raiding, again, I decided to check your logs. Your logs show a clear, and quite blatant, abuse of faction vendors to obtain guns for raiding and mugging and drugs to use as bait for more muggings. After going through all of your logs for character creation and deletion, PK's, lockpick use, tying, and vendors used - I came to the reasonable explanation this was yet again just another mugging char, hence you being killed. Just since 7/25 to now you have mugged 8 people that you successfully tied, raided at least 12 timed for your lockpick uses, that's not counting the times you tried to just push your way into open doors, and have made 5 different chars that follow the pattern I had already listed before. (Join faction, get gun, get drugs for bait, buy lockpicks and restraints, go mugging and raiding). If you are going to go on a public forum and try to call others a troll or "on some bullshit" prepared to have your very dirty laundry aired out. Only reason you're not fully banned, again, was because another member of staff chose for me to show you mercy this time.

Your final strike was not simply for putting the text screens up. If you properly roleplay it out that is completely fine. Your flags were removed for where you were trying to improperly place the text screens. You were located in the main reception area of the PD. You then proceeded to spawn a text screen on the other side of the airlock via the hole used for people to hand their ID's to officers. The took your physgun and were trying to use it to post the text screen above the elevator clearly on the entire other side of the room. In this situation, there is no way at all for you to properly roleplay that out. So this, plus me already warning you tonight, and your PO for prop kill, I elected to remove your flags as you have repeatedly shown you can't be trusted to use them properly

You really went for the full fake recommendations huh

This was over a month ago, that recommendation definitely doesn't carry over to this now third application and that isn't even an actual recommendation.

+1 he's russian

Want a serious answer? Definitely still no. Why? Just since your last application you've already been warned three more times, and I know almost banned for at least one of those because I was the staff member that chose to show mercy and not give you another ban for RDM. We ban for people to learn, not to punish, and you just don't learn.

Hi! Banning admin here. I banned you for killing two people with your vehicle due to your history of Mass VDM already. In the clip you clearly knew they were there, after driving past them to even enter the alley. You then gassed it backwards out of the alley over them and continued driving over them till they died. The clip is here.

PK'ing admin here. As I told you in game when you also asked, you were PK'd from Don's Orders. When you join a criminal faction you get a prompt explaining to you that you that they can PK at anytime they deem fit. In this case you had done something to bring unwanted attention to the faction so they deemed you a burden and chose to kill you.

Hi! Banning staff member here. Here is the clip for context. In the clip you can see, yes, the officer is attempting to detain a citizen to question him about the hot dog stand as he was ignoring the officer. At this time there is no guarantee that there will be a felony arrest, actually quite unlikely as it would be a state felony. There is no felony under the city penal code for running an unlicensed hot dog stand. If the officer had full intent to arrest them for a felony charge I could see your case. But in this situation with it being a detainment as the individual was actively ignoring the officer, it only being a citizen and not a part of your faction, and you having notes for RDM I saw this as the best fit form of rehabilitation with you also acknowledging you were not fully aware of the rules around shooting an arresting officer. Seeing as you have now gone and studied the rules on shooting an officer, I would not mind your ban being lifted or lessened in this case as you have learned from the situation.

Hi! Banning moderator here. So you were originally only going to be warned as a result of that character being PK'd from this same situation. To clarify you had two tickets against you, one for the MVDM which I took and a PK ticket which another staff member took. I was going to be nice and give you the benefit of the doubt about your lag situation. However, another staff member noticed something in the clip of your MVDM which made me have to throw that whole idea for a stern warning out the window. You can notice in the beginning of this clip two things. First you tried to state another vehicle was trying to push you, and there clearly is no other vehicle but your own. Secondly, you are verbally saying sorry as you are driving over people and continue to turn your vehicle and keep driving over people. After noticing this, I gave you another chance to amend your statement before I decided on your ban time. You chose not to and decided to hold firm that it was all accidental, hence you getting banned for MVDM and lying to staff.

Hi! Banning staff member here. I will go through your initial ban and why it was updated to be longer. So the first ban was due to NITRP and Punch Minge. This was due to me having to many times this same evening already having speak to you about these situations. The clip brought forward to me during the original sit can be found here. Now, the reason your ban was extended, was due to you having another waiting RDM ticket against while I was actively working with you in sit. In the same evening where I had already spoken to you about your minging, I had to give you a note for RDM from a previous sit. Once I had just finished the original sit with you that lead to original ban, I took another RDM ticket, and you were the person in question during that sit as well. You had put them under fearRP to speak with them, they complied, and you proceeded to still punch them to death. The user that made this ticket accidentally deleted the clip, we were able to find a working version so please excuse the scuffed screen record and reupload I had to do here to ensure you had full context to this situation. This clip does not just show RDM, but your again use of punch minging which you already had a history of before.

Hi there! Banning moderator here. The reason for the ban was two fold, first you already had three prior notes for RDM in the span of just two weeks. Secondly, I deemed it to be RDM after I had spoken with you during the sit and you said the gentleman had tried to mug you. I proceeded to ask for more information and you said you and your buddy had gone to the motel to meet him. He invited you into his room, you and your friend got suspicious so you left. Never did he actively put you under fearRP or did he say he was going to mug you, you just had a suspicion that he was going to and you admitted this. Here is the clip of the kill itself.

Hi there! Banning moderator here. There is a lot to unpack with this situation so I'll take it apart piece by piece. First, the context leading up to before I had even brought you. This was just before map change while I was already in another sit as the only staff online. There was three tickets made against you for MRDM for the situation with the car by the clown, the gentleman in the plain button up, and your intended target AND a ticket made against you for when you shot up the restaurant. As I did not have time to finish the current sit and investigate their four tickets, I quickly brought them, checked logs for kills and combat damage. In logs as I told you, you had multiple kills in rapid succession with no damage done to you. With this information I was able to reasonably comp them so map change didn't wipe it and informed them to remake their tickets after map change. A screenshot of the kill logs will be shared. This does not properly represent the two other players, a clown and another random third party, that was killed when you blew up the car. In your own clip for this first situation, you can see you begin by shooting at your original target, showing you have an intended, rightful target as this gentleman had tried to mug you. You then choose to peak the corner again, see someone that you already knew wasn't your target as they were wearing dark clothing, not the white jacket, and shoot them blatantly. You then aim at the clown, watch him run towards the car, at which point you decide to shoot up the car and blow it up. That car then kills two others not involved in the conflict at all. To add even more context to this I asked you directly that in a situation with four people you killed three of the four and the only one you didn't kill was your actual targeted and you admitted it. Admission This is already addressed in the first section adding context to the situation. This other incident was included as it was directly, within minutes, after the first situation. The last player you killed, you directly admitted you only shot him as he was in the restaurant with your second kill in logs. I asked you if he had a weapon, you said no, I asked you if he ever claimed or said anything about also working at the property, you said no. You clearly understood and recognized he was not an active threat, just another person in the area at the time of the justified shooting. So adding it all up you had four unjustified kills, one justified kill, and one justified attempted kill in the span of seven minutes. You killed double the amount of the people you justifiably could and that is what lead me to giving you a ban for MRDM.

In-Game Name(s): Arturo Velardi, Richard Long, Thomas Zaloa, Quintavius Octavius Dickman Steam Name: Byte Steam Profile Link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/paperbite/ Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:59970810 Discord Username: paperbyte Age: 26 When did you first join the server: 4/16/2024 Total playtime on our Servers (Do !time in-game): 4w 21h 10m Time Zone: EST How much time can you realistically dedicate to moderating?: 20-30 hours weekly 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?: With the hours I am able to put in I far too often have seen slower server times where there is just no staff available to assist. I want to be able to ensure the community is still able to be assisted and flow smoothly in these times. Even during peak times with multiple staff, tickets still often get backed up and I want to assist in those times to make sure RP can be upkept. Also, to further get involved in the community and be apart of it's continued growth, especially with the influx of new and returning players coming with the map change. I have also enjoyed my time as staff for another community, and with now leaving that community I want to get involved in the same way again here. Why should you be considered over other candidates?: The biggest reasons i can bring forth to be considered over other candidates are both my extensive history with being staff for another community as well as my maturity that comes with being older than most members of the community. I have immeasurable experience with different types of players, sits, and investigations. This experience makes it very easy for me to handle the roughest of sits, angriest of players, and still ensure people are able to calm down enough to listen and I know when to just do what i have to if a situation has no way to be calmed down before staff action is needed. With me being older than most people in this community, and still playing this game I also am just able to keep a level head better than most. This nature allows me to handle the more complex situations with grace and makes the smaller tickets that much quicker to be taken care of. Do you have any previous staffing experience? (Please list where, what position and how long): Moderator to Elite Admin on and off over the course of seven years across multiple Icefuse Networks servers, Admin and Super Admin positions on smaller TTT communities too long ago to remember their names Have you been banned before on any of our servers? If so, why?: No Would you say that you are well known in our community, what's your reputation, what do other members think of you?: I want to push to get more well known outside of my faction and our allies, and I believe this would be a possible route to do so. I would think I carry the reputation as someone that is motivated and consistent from my time that I put into my main character. I believe others would think of me as too serious at times but fair and generous as well. What is your favorite moment on Diverge so far?: As recent as it is, it would of been the night of map change. The city felt so alive, Rp was flourishing in every part of the city, and everyone just felt in higher spirits. You had cops doing RP with the governor around the mansion, sitting up road blocks and tours. You had Italians making Little Italy feel like an actual block in NYC with how busy it was and loud and just going out and speaking with each other. In China town you players opening a sushi shop, a beautiful underground restaurant. Even the ghetto was creating it's gangs and hierarchy. Everywhere you went, there was a funny or interesting bit of RP you could get involved with or to watch play out. Have any staff members recommended you? If so, list their names: Daviss, Greenghost, JJ and adam ------------------------------------------------- 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?: As someone that witnessed the situation I would first make a ticket and have a clip ready to provide evidence for another staff member to take it. If no other staff is available to take it after sometime, then I would go on duty and handle the situation myself. 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?: I would try to collect evidence first. Once collected, i would make the staff report or follow the proper chain of command to have it handled properly. 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?: I would not take the ticket as it would be a conflict of interest and there would definitely be a chance for bias involved.

For the stupidest reason too showing their lack of maturity, -1

-1 no, just no. The clowns made more sense than this.

+1 under the same idea

Neutral +/- I think the concept is cool paper but I don't think you have the experience to run it yet

-1, banned

+1, i think it would be cool to see Irish back in the city
