Reason for ban: NITRP - Multiple Same Name?
Length of ban: 12hr
Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute
Why should you be unbanned? I am not too sure exactly and Mr Kion Por Admin [dont remember your name apologies lol] brought me in to discuss a recent PK which in the end I accept. However in this sit (which occurred AFTER the PK and when a new char was made), he told me about the his reasoning, which i tried to plea against based on the fact I died in a slow speed/stationary manner.
He then realised im still gagged (was gagged in the previous sit where there were two cops against me - and yes i was gagged for trying to voice my defence under the bases i was being "too noise and loud" ;-; but tis what it is. So wasnt even able to defend my self from other various malicious allegations ;-;). He then un gaged and immediately stated for me to change my name after saying it cannot be the same name (and i was confused as it wasnt the same name?). He gave the prompt, and said to "change it to something that isnt the fucking same" and only until i finished writing the new name out as Ping Pong Richard, he made mention of it cannot have the same family name (again AFTER i did the prompt and wasnt really aware of this mistake (Initially i thought the fact that I called my self Jing Jong Richard; instead of Ling Long Richard was okay and that Kion thought it was the same name as my previous char, hence changing to Ping Pong, and i couldnt speak when the prompt was out) and assumed it was okay. [This is what I assumed when he said Cannot be the exact same... again only until AFTER the prompt was submitted he stated it and didnt give me another chance on the basis that I may have submitted the prompt faster than he could finish?
Then after he said "family name". he stopped talking and said im getting banned as i wasnt sure what the fuss is about? As there are many others actively playing that change names that are very similar to the previous char as if theyre brothers, considering my previous chars has the same trail of names and no staff took action against it as it was different. Plus the original character was called Ding Dong Richard and no admin caught me out for it so I was unaware - considering i interacted with many staff members too lol. Even then Kion didnt even explain it properly and just banned me right after. Sure he could've said it properly in one go prior to giving me the prompt instead of making it impromptu. Sure looking back I should've perhaps changed my name, but in the moment the staff member did not help make me understand and realise it as i was fixated on the first name unmaliciously.
For me it seems like it was definitely biased. I was not given a chance to rename after his weak warning (again which came AFTER i did the prompt) and the fact he did not care and was not nice enough to give me a reprompt instead of rushing to the ban without listening to my pleas and assuming I do not care and am Minging/NITRP. (Though the server DID crash literally as he was banning me).
This wasnt a case of NITRP. I literally came out of a month ban lol I DO NOT intend to get banned so much so i've been actively trying to RP and be a better influence to the server and believe im slowly getting there - so much so i am cautious and actively ask staff members for clarity before I do something that may get me in trouble (such as asking if it's okay to kill so and so for this reason and showing a clip). I've been taking up more lawyer work, where infact today we spent over 1 hour in jail dealing with a felony case... (not to mention other cases - an no... not as ling long LOL) So the allegations that I have NITRP is false and I do try keep clips to show my justification in use of words or actions. I have people that can vouch for me. So when cops come on literally from about 1hour prior to me writing this then claim i'm NITRP all day they this is a lie as literally since today I had no life and was online all day (i know sad) since the afternoon GMT. (It's ironic because if you put the spotlight on the staff members who run around clowns doing similar and/or the same things it's generally okay lol - but this is beyond the point).
But you must admit this was not just and doesnt warrant a ban because the staff member explained it only after I submitted the prompt and wasnt aware, of course after seeing it from myseif. Thought from their side i'd understand they wouldnt know how quickly i'd have filled the prompt and perhaps may not know that i am not COMPLETELY aware of all the rules around the names. There are a lot of rules and with ADHD it's difficult for me to learn it all by reading and so i learn by practice so it may take time to be fully acquainted with all the rules.
