Ban Appeal

[FriendlyMan]

Your Character or Steam Name:  Friendly Man

Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:463830675

Your Discord ID#: mrmostdef

Reason for ban: MRDM

Length of ban: Perm

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I got a little carried away. My friend and I were walking around, and these chinese guys started yelling racial slurs at us, and one of them threatened us. I ended up shooting at all of them. I understand now that I can only shoot when they pull a gun on me or shoot at me.

Why should you be unbanned: I have stayed banned for a while, probably a good few month,s to show that I wasn't just trying to get quickly unbanned and that I served a long punishment. I hope to get unbanned so I can play again.

How do you look up your bans? I  think most of them must have been from years ago, when I was a kid. This is my only recent major offense from what I am aware of.

Hello. Any update on this?

[Canadian-bacon]

If I recall correctly, Mass RDM'ed, disconnected in the sit, basically didn't care, then posted a video of the Mass RDM bragging about it in one of the discords, so the clear lack of remorse / intentional MRDM led to a perma.

What's different?

I did mass RDM, although at the time, I didn't realize it was RDM because I thought I had a valid initiation due to the slurs and threats. I didn't realize that violence on the server required escalating sitdowns and such, as I was brand new to criminal RP and had only recently gotten a gun and joined a crew. I DC'ed from the sit because the admin I was talking to and explaining the situation to called me slurs and muted me, so I DC'ed as I felt like there was no point sitting there at that point since he didn't want to hear anything I had to say. I am not sure what you are referring to about posting it into the Discord. I think the only place I posted to clip to was my gangs/criminal orgs discord, and I believe I had posted it to their OOC channel to show them the situation. I am sure I can still find the shooting clip if you want to see it, although if I remember rightly, it doesn't show the initial confrontation due to it being a medal clip, and I had set it to only record about 2 minutes of gameplay at a time. I do understand what I did wrong and have read the rules since the incident, and won't repeat my actions again and if a situation like this happens to me in-game again, I would follow the escalation guidelines with sitdowns, extra confrontations, etc, before shooting. I haven't appealed my ban for 7 months because I understood that I needed a long ban for my actions but I hope to be able to rejoin the server after this long cool down period. 

 

Edit: adding this as I don't know if I explained this enough, I didn't randomly walk into Chinatown and just air out a clip. I had a prolonged altercation with the people before firing, where I was threatened and my friend and I were insulted with racial slurs. I understand now that you can't shoot over this, but from previous interactions I have had with other gangs on the server, I thought that this was enough escalation to shoot. I found the clip, and in the clip, it shows me open fire but only against the people I directly had an issue with, for example, I didn't shoot random bar bar goers or the black guy that was in there. At the end, another chinaman appeared that I didn't shoot (even though he was obviously with them) because I had no prior problem/reason to kill him. I only ended up killing him after he opened fire on me. I also didn't shoot anyone else outside the establishment randomly, for example. I know that according to the rules, they didn't give me enough provocation to shoot, but I did genuinely think at the time that I did have enough of a reason to shoot. I didn't shoot anyone who wasn't involved. I will add the clip here just in case you haven't seen it, as I feel like it makes my point quite well. Essentially, I did massrdm, but it wasn't intentional. 

 

Also, as a side note, I should have kept the part before the shooting in character; however, although I talk about a previous admin sit, my issue with them (and reason for shooting) was in character.

Thanks for this. For some reason, when I search my Steam name, I don't see any entries for me. I am not sure if it's got an old Steam name registered to my bans or something, maybe.

 

Edit: I found it with my steam ID, thanks again.
