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.

Banning staff here, you were pked after some all-day long mingery of cop baiting on a character called "Ling Long Richard"

You then make a character called "Jing Jong Richard", I give you a name change prompt, and you change it to "Ping Pong Richard", you were playing stupid and you know better with your extensive amounts of PO's.

[TroubledGhost]

Firstly, no i was not playing stupid.. i was genuinely asking in the video too.

Secondly... have you not seen my previous character name trails? LOL. 

Thirdly, if i was indeed playing stupid, you should've done a litmus test and given me ANOTHER prompt with clear instructions and points PRIOR to giving me the prompt, and if i'd have failed it then by all means.. ban away. 

I also find it very interesting and convenient you waited until AFTER the ban to finally reply with a simple post, whilst this post was active for the last 14 hours lol. Again just adding more probability to the bias present lol. Regardless if you like me or not, I was on all day yesterday. You came on towards the end of my time playing yesterday the same with literally 99% of the cops - who were crying wolf that i was NITRP and minging cop baiting? Look at the logs lol. I was a busy man yesterday grinding. You are assuming based off my POs that's the case when I assure you it's not. I often have staff also watching me whilst invisible and i'd have been banned by now if I was indeed baiting and minging, because that's all it is, what you believe and who you trust - and granted why would you trust this person with this many POs? Well after a months ban, you'd know why.

 

Also mistakes can and will happen, but even you know this is BS and with some seniors I am disliked and pushed to leave the community (all the false reporting esp from the cops dont help which you tend to believe lol), take a look at the last of my ban appeal lol.

Since the ban has already taken place, I request the ban to be removed from my record and this to be changed into a staff report also should it be appropriate to do both so.

Staff member isn't wrong. You were making a new char with the same minge name. There isn't really much more to say.
