You and your lisps opinion doesn’t matter as you are a commission main 

I’m not a commission main. It’s clear rdm baiting as he was on the roof overlooking his buddy waiting for him to get punched.

Not the banning admin, or anyone of importance, but heres my opinion and some numbers.

You had set up for a shoot out to occur, it is clear as day in the first clip, otherwise, why would all those people be specifically on that one roof that had a perfect view of the business you were intentionally harassing.

I don't know who anyone is on this server, nor do I even know who you are as a character name level.

Since joining in september 2022, to march 2025, you've had 0.37 bans per month. (Sounds like a good number right? kind of...)

Since your first ban in November 2023, to march 2025, you've had 0.69 bans per month. (Almost doubling, the time between first join and first ban)

You have 22 notes and 11 bans (excluding the most recent permaban) with 54.45 DAYS banned and only 38 days, 3 hours playtime. 

From your "total time experienced" (bans + playtime), you have spent 58.84% of your time banned.

Banned time to playtime ratio is at a high x1.43.

With your notes and bans being considered now, you were punished nearly 2.06 times per month for every month since your first ban. That is very slightly more than once every 2 weeks you either got a ban or a note, since sept 2023.... that is sad.

 

 

TLDR: Extensive notes and bans will always lead to a permanent ban, now if its actually permanent, that's for others to decide, there is no bias here, if I was still staff I would've done the exact same thing regardless of who you are, or who you think you are to be able to continue to break the rules without any actual punishment.

You need a break from the server to realize what you actually want to do on here, other than break rules consistently.

-1 PUT THIS MUCH TIME INTO THE SERVER!

To put it bluntly, after you kept claiming their was bias in this situation, I had a congregation of 5 different people look into it, including myself. We determined that this in-fact is baiting; which is against the server rules. 

Quote

9. You may not attack/start confrontations with people in order to kill them when they defend themselves. This is considered baiting.

 

Quote

6. You may kill in self defence or in defence of your partners/faction/property. When you've been attacked by an aggressor and survive (you did not aggravate or bait them to hit you) you may return with a weapon to kill them.

 

Quote

For a more clear example of Idle threats, active threats, insults and fights. See the following video
(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)

In essence attempting to initiate a conflict in order to garner an escalation / reaction just for the excuse to then kill them, disguising the interaction as valid RP/within rules whereas the spirit of the rule and the intention is violated purposefully, this is usually done in a targeted matter against players or groups you do not like.

It's no secret that there have been shifts in server dynamics recently a lot of people feel as if tensions are heightened, however, no escalation or conflict is currently active and as such there are no special permissions that grant people the ability to perform targeted harassment of properties or businesses, nor are things like shootouts cleared.

This was a clear initiation of a bait as the individual who went to the opposing property went there without any real reason. They solely arrived there to cause problems and when rightfully asked to leave refused to do so in order to force escalation to fear RP / violence in which pre-placed members providing over watch on an adjacent rooftop, who would have had no other reason to be there, and who would not have known it was someone with their f3/someone was being attacked had they not been watching and been aware of what was transpiring, then opened fire seconds later causing a mass shootout and escalation of what could have simply been a fist fight or property ejection. 

"But it was rp i went there to cause problems it was valid rp"

As stated

• No active conflict or special status that warrants you extra permission to cause problems / target unnecessarily.
• You went into their property with armed back up knowing full well the possible outcome if they rightfully removed you from their property by force.

 

The baiting is pretty clear cut in this context.

 

As for the claims of bias, pretty instantly when punishments were handed down claims of bias were made, claims that the ban was made longer due to bias, claims the ban reason was false and only done as a result of bias and claims that this appeal process would be tainted by bias. Ultimately, it's possible for staff members to make errors, they are at the end of the day volunteers on a server and do their best to get it right from sit to sit, which is why I am reviewing this along with other uninvolved parties.

So for the ban. I find there is a rule-break and there is wrong doing, this was found by the banning moderator (Zeus) who is not part of the quote 'biased opposition' and he states as such on this appeal.

As for the staff members who gave input, a lot of this is a he said she said and if you believe their is implicit bias or wrong doing you can file a staff report or have things like appeals reviewed by other staff, I see the logic and reasoning behind extending your ban, you have a massive ban record and honestly a permanent ban makes sense, it's your 6th ban this year and we are only 3 months in. It's ridiculous.

I will be granting you some form of amnesty, on the condition you do the following:

Read our rules -> https://divergenet.works/forum/8-rules/

Take a short rule quiz -> https://forms.gle/vPMoSA71uoD7k7d9A

The ban will be reduced to 30 days.
