Member of the team that banned you.
Tampax

Reason given for your ban.
VDM

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
VDM, not sure on what scale. The ban just states VDM. I suspect it must have been pretty bad to warrant a permanent ban. I understand this was foolish as it is a rule break which impacts others experience negatively and can even give you a bad reputation if new players experience this when they first join the server.

Why should we unban you ?
I got banned in 2016 honestly I don't even remember it and was surprised to see I was banned. I most likely did some silly VDM 'because it would be funny' or some other dumb reason. Given the chance I can prove that this misrepresents how I RP and the quality at which I hold my actions both in and out of the game. Throughout my time on Arma I've been part of some good communities which largely revolve around RP whether it be vanilla or modded and I have really let myself down by making such a mistake. I sincerely apologize for my actions and I assure you that it is not something I would be looking to do ever again if given the chance to rejoin your server. Thanks.

So with the current ruleset that we have. What does it mean? VDM ?

When you have done that, please find and quite the rule for us and paste it here.

 

[Arron Shepard]

VDM is Vehicle Death Match and to summarise what it is I would say it is when you use any vehicle as a weapon whether it is used to ram another vehicle or hit a player. MRAPs are however allowed to ram eachother but not kill passengers and only once RP has been initiated or in the red zone as stated in tge rule here:

(2.1) Vehicle Deathmatch (also known as VDM) - Using any vehicle as a weapon (e.g running people over, causing explosions including while sling loading, ramming, etc), will result in you receiving a ban. Three vehicles are excluded from this, MRAPS (Ifrits, Hunters and Striders) can ram other MRAPS in order to disable them, yet not to kill the passengers. This is allowed as these vehicles are the only vehicles ingame that can withstand being rammed. Please note that you need to initiate roleplay before attempting to ram an MRAP. (Please note - MRAPS don't need to be initiated on in the redzone) This is to prevent random ramming on site. (Three minutes of chasing also constitutes initiation of MRAP and MRAP ramming).

So you decide to come back now. Why now?


Just to add abit of detail around it, whats your endgoal here if any?

 

[Arron Shepard]

Well I've got a bit more free time again and with a new PC that will be able to handle Arma better on the way I figured it was a good time to start fresh somewhere new. I suppose short term goal would be to just get on my feet in the server and get to understand the environment within the server such as police operations, gang relations and hot spots etc. however I am interested in joining the police force as that is generally where I believe the most RP occurs consistently. Applying to be a medic would also allow me to help out players and possibly repay my debt so to speak for breaking the rules 2 years ago.
