In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
Rather than responding to an RDM situation in the way I should have I told someone that if they didnt return my stuff I would report. When asked to "take it somewhere else" I said I would take it to the forums. There was also a bit of childish name calling.
Why should we unban you ?
So, i've been a part of this community for a year and a half and have had a clean slate (until now) since I started. I followed the rules like I abide by the law. Over the past few days I have been VDM'd, RDM'd and fallen victim to poor roleplay situations which have resulted in my losing almost 2 million worth of gear. Today has been the worst of all. The situation was this:
I was talking to someone about a helicopter performing tricks next to us and he seemed to be roleplaying back. Then, out of no where he pulled a pistol on me and told me to drop my gun. Despite having an assault rifle in my hands I decided to drop it rather than spray him down for the sake of roleplay. Upon doing so, he started demanding I drop the rest of my gear so I knocked him to the ground with the intent to ziptie him and take him on "an adventure". When I knocked him out someone drove over both of us and I heard him yelling in a foreign language. Shortly after someone jumped out of the helicopter next to us and shot me as I was recovering from being VDM'd.
Knowing that I would have to spend another 20 minutes getting gear for the 10th time that day I was hot headed and rather than responding like a sensible, mature person (as I like to think I usually do) I told him he was to return my gun to me or I will take it to the forums. At this point an admin attempted to cool the situation by says "Calm down kids" and "take it somewhere else". I would like to note that if I hadn't been a part of this community for so long I would have had no idea this person was a staff member..it could have been anyone who wanted us out of sidechat. However seeing as I knew he was staff, I suppose I cannot use that excuse.
After the admin said to take it elsewhere I directed a response to the RDM'er (excuse the language): "Okay i'll take it to the forums. Asshole." I totally accept that that isn't acceptable even in an adult community, so I deeply apologise for that. That being said, I was banned shortly after with no real warning which leads me onto my next point. I do believe that the way in which I was banned was handled very poorly. If not for my prior knowledge of the server I wouldn't have known that I was being spoken to by an admin and I wasn't told I was breaking any rules. I understand that I broke a rule and should be punished but I believe getting banned was an over reaction. If I had been told "Right, this is your only warning. Stop acting like a child in chat or you will be banned" I would have had to respect that and shut my mouth. If I had chosen to continue, the ban would have been more than justified.
As a long time member of the community I feel that I shouldn't have been banned so quickly for what i'm pretty sure is considered a minor offense. Still, I want to say that you don't have to agree with every rule nor do you have to agree 100% with the way staff handle things to respect them. I do respect the rules and what I did was silly. If you choose to unban me, It won't happen again.
I want to add that this appeal could have just been a lot of apologies and guilt and it would have most likely had a better chance of getting accepted. I didn't want to do that though because that's not an honest representation of how I feel. Of course I respect the rules and I apologise for breaking them, but I believe I have made my thoughts clear enough. This appeal is my complete honest view on the situation and my opinion on why I should be unbanned. This is my mentality and at the end of the day if you dont want me on your server because of it then that's your decision to make.
Thanks for reading my appeal,
Haywire
