The date of your ban.

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.
basically I was driving down the road in a green zone in Kavala, and there were a group of people standing in the middle of the road. I read the rules on the site which describe VDM as "Using your vehicle as a weapon" and since the definition of weapon is "a thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage." I assumed that because I was in the greenzone and hitting someone with the car didn't do any damage and the definition of weapon means you're using it to cause damage, and because 4 different people including two police cars knocked me over with no consequence, that I wasn't breaking this rule. So I hit the group with the car thinking it would be funny for everyone involved (I found it funny being hit by cars randomly)

Why should we unban you ?
I'm very new to Arma 3 roleplay (this was within my first hour of ever playing it) and genuinely thought that this wasn't against the rules from reading the VDM rule literally. I've watched Youtubers play which sparked an interest in it and if I knew that VDM was hitting someone with a vehicle is against the rules regardless of damage, I wouldn't have done it. I'm hoping you'll give the new guy the benefit of the doubt on this one as I wasn't showing a disregard for the rules, I even went out of my way to read them before entering your server, I just took the wording literally and assumed from other people hitting me that it wasn't a problem once it wasn't doing damage. I'm sorry and I'll know for next time.

Well if getting hit by a vehicle never does damage (thanks to the VDM script) would that mean that hitting anyone at any time is acceptable? No... It's a rule that is enforced to ensure fair game-play to anyone and everyone. Get hit by a car? So long as you didn't run into it on purpose and gave it sufficient time/distance to stop or move, you should always apologise in roleplay for hitting someone. If they jumped in-front of your car without giving you proper time to respond then that is a fault on their part, which is also punishable if done excessively and to an amount that would qualify as trolling.

It's good that you read the rules prior to joining but I would like you to directly quote the rule that you have broken and then explain it in your words.

 
Yes well as I said, I was quite new to RP and thought that it was only in the greenzone that hitting people with a car didn't do damage. I assumed based off of the rule and how it's worded (i.e using the word weapon), that it was only a bannable offense if I was doing damage.

still I admit to breaking the rule;
 

(2.1) Vehicle Deathmatch (also known as VDM) - Using your vehicle as a weapon
and now know that this means you are not allowed to purposely hit anyone with a vehicle. I read the word weapon and took the meaning of the word literally. I hope you can see where my confusion came from, from the description of this rule and that it was an honest mistake. thanks.

 
Righto, do you confirm that you have read all of our rules and understand them all?

Do you agree to follow without fail?

 
Right, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that this was a misunderstanding. You will be given another chance, please don't let me down, I do not want to see you here again!

Unbanned!
