Evdigitydog Ban Appeal

[Eviddy]

Your Character or Steam Name: Evdigitydog

Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:1:561523859

Your Discord ID#: Evdigitydog

Reason for ban: Racket abuse

Length of ban: 2d

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I was banned after getting a Gambino char and selling strikers i was selling them at 1.75x the racket price as no there was no real listing price I was aware of. I only knew one had been sold for 200k then after getting removed from the whitelist I was told the listing price was apparently 400k. The server min should be about 34,000 * 1.75 which is 59500 I sold them at 62500 to make sure it wasn't abuse I didn't intend to for this to happen. I was unaware of the minimum set by the faction but i feel it should be made clear that breaking faction rules is different then server rules,

Why should you be unbanned? I was informed I was banned partially due to the fact i left the faction and discord this is untrue I was removed. Because I was removed I was unable to correct my mistake because I was Immediately whitelisted, and then kicked from the discord There is no way I would've been able to see the post I believe I was set up to be banned especially considering a striker was sold to a member of the government at 200k  assuming I assumed they overcharged him for being in govt

I'm pretty sure it was repeated over 10x that you are not ALLOWED to sell it at all, and that the price for it was 400k. This was said in a chat that you had access to.

don’t join a faction purely to sell your friends class 4s

First off, I want to correct myself regarding something I previously stated after you messaged me about the ban. You did not unwhitelist yourself willingly, as you mentioned in the appeal. You were unwhitelisted by the factions management after they suspected you of racket abuse, and they subsequently brought it to the attention of UA.

 

As for the other points I made in our conversation, I believe they still hold strong. You joined the faction on a new character, and shortly after being whitelisted, you were given $65,000 from the don of your main character. After receiving this money you instantly ordered a striker and later gave it to him. You additionally provided him with another one afterwards as well.

 

You claim you were unaware of any real selling price of one, despite their most recent message in their associates info channel stating something along the lines, “Don’t sell these for under 400k.” I feel as if you saying you didn’t read or see it is a poor excuse. You even admitted yourself that you aware of one selling previously for 200k. If you knew this and had what was essentially an unlimited supply, why would you only sell for 65k? Clearly, you could have gotten more if you had proper business and money-making goals, further showing you did not have real roleplay intentions for this character.

 

While the rules may say that selling below a certain threshold constitutes racket abuse, the main concern I have with your actions, which led me to believe you were racket abusing, is the fact that you very quickly used your newfound access to sell to your main characters don, likely OOC corroboration there, for a price WELL below street. Considering all the information I don’t believe its unfair to conclude that you had zero intention of roleplaying on this character and instead created and joined this faction solely to exploit their weapons racket for the benefit of your OOC friends.
