Hello, here I am again appealing on a very thin piece of string in hopes that this isn't the end for me on Roleplay UK.
First, lets bring some honesty to this appeal..
I am extremely disappointed after watching the video that has been sent to me by the person who reported this matter to the staff team. Now I will cut straight to the chase... The person in question who was acting racist in the video first said at the very start of this gang ''Don't bring any edgy shit into the gang''. I totally agreed with this as I am not one for racism in the slightest. I do not use it myself and I personally do despise it with a passion. I have read the previous appeals from some of the other folks who are currently appealing this evening and I have read the whole ''I do not record'' business. This is by no means ANY excuse at all however I will say I do not record myself as I have not got sufficient upload speed plus I have been trying my hardest to fix my shadowplay as I have an NVIDIA GTX 1070 graphics card. I can prove that this is the case as if you are to ever view my once in a blue moon reports, the footage will be from someone else who has been generous to supply it for me.
I want to take this time to go through the video from my end so you understand where I come into all of this.. At the beginning of the video there is a racist remark and I mute my sound at some point after the racist remark has been made. Before the remark was made, I died in game and threw my headset off in anger and sound muted. At that time I didn't catch what was being said which I know sounds like a load of tosh but all I can do is be transparent and truthful. During the rest of the clip my sound and mic were unmuted however I wasn't present during the rest of the clip. (There is no possible way I can prove this visually which is clearly not going to help me in my favour but mentioning this is the least I can do.) I would also like to mention that I did not encourage this behaviour in ANY way nor did I react to it as I have previously mentioned, I am not a fan of racism or derogatory insults. The way I see this is, the person who reported this heard disgusting language and made sure to keep it clear out of Roleplay UK and ya'know what? rightfully so. I even made it clear amples of times that if we are to create this gang, everyone needs to keep a lid on it when it comes to stuff like this as it isn't fair on the rest of the gang members who actually want to play here. I have been banned for this exact same issue and I wouldn't be so stupid to repeat this mistake again I can promise you that. In regards to the last appeal where Wilco gave me the last chance to dance, all I can say is you have my humble apologies that this has happened and that this has set a negative light to the gang I was in.
Unlike some of the others who are being childish and hating on the person who reported this, I on the other hand had a friendly chat with the person and they even apologised that I got caught up in this and I simply replied with ''I understand why you did it and it is ok''. In fact, that is something else I would like to stress, hating on the person who reported it isn't going to make things better, this person did the right thing in the grand scheme of the things. They were a witness to racism, didn't agree with it and felt as if they were doing the right thing and that is completely OK.
If staff wish anything from me whilst this appeal is active, please don't hesitate to ask me anything.
Once again I personally apologise to you Wilco as this just looks like I've let you down and thrown your golden chance back in your face.
I am ashamed and disappointed.

Why should we unban you ?
I would consider myself somebody who is passionate about playing within Roleplay UK despite my stupidity that the staff team have had to put up with throughout the years. I am a part of the small minority that actually agree with the person who reported the childish behaviour to staff. This is my fault for not taking the reins and sorting this mess out myself so it didn't happen in the future and I am paying the price for it so I do consider myself someone who is willing to accept the consequences regarding this matter. I am NOT here for toxic shenanigans nor am I here to insult or criticize the staff team. This has really upset me quite a bit as I was playing on a golden chance just for someone else's stupidity to rip it away from me. Right before my ban was issued, I stated in my gang channel that if anyone was to be racist or insulting OOC again, they would simply be removed from the gang and reported immediately as it brings the gang down as a whole. (I do have witnesses who heard me say this, including the person who reported this matter to staff)

Well. Here you are again Naylor appealing for what is unfortunately your 7th ban.

To say you're on a fine line would be generous, you've proven time and time again that you simply cannot control yourself and abide by the simplest of rules.

Now, regarding this specific incident. You were originally left out from the initial wave of bans that removed the main culprits. I spoke with various members of staff to gather more of an opinion and sometime later ended up speaking to yourself along with one other in a staff channel. You asked for details of the incident and I mentioned that unless you had something to hide then you'd be fine. I made it very intentionally clear that anybody else found guilty in the same situation would face the same punishment. You had every possibility to own up and didn't.

Are you seriously telling me that you heard nothing of the "comments" that were made in that channel? Because I find that very VERY hard to believe.

 

[Naylor The Gamer]

Well this is the thing Gordon. I called you for a chat in hopes that I would discover what had happened. How can I possibly own up to something at the time we chatted when you weren't very transparent with me regarding the situation? Yes, you told me that if nobody has anything to hide, we'd be fine. So pretty much from there I just went with what you said as from my side, I really did have nothing to hide.

Are you seriously telling me that you heard nothing of the "comments" that were made in that channel? Because I find that very VERY hard to believe.

Then I honestly don't know what to tell you. I am telling you the gods honest truth. It's one of the main reasons I don't ''react'' to any of that garbage that was being said. I've said this in the appeal it self.. I am in full support of the report made by the individual who filed it. I mean what do you want me to tell you Gordon? Do you want me to lie to you and tell you that yes I DID hear the comments in the hopes that I'll get unbanned? I am not going to do that as I am telling the truth. I don't step to these appeals and throw a pack of lies because really in hindsight, what am I possibly achieving by lying to you? Nothing. All I can say to you is that if I did hear those comments, I would of done the same myself. Hell, if I heard anything like that in the future, I'd report it. Footage or no footage. Ya'know I could be like some of the others that have been banned and throw a hissy fit at the person who reported it and call them a ''snake''. However I am actually still talking with the person and classing them as my friend because I understand why the report had to be made. I only found out how this all happened because the person who reported it shown me the video in good faith. After watching it, I wasn't pleased. I am not an enemy or a threat to this community whether that being related to racism, discrimination or threatening to mass rdm the server. I am just wanting to appeal my ban and keep myself separated from those who didn't agree with the ban and just want to make this community a living hell.

So, it has come to this.

After much deliberation amongst the staff team, it has been decided that due to your extensive history of bans and warnings on record it'd be best for you to remain banned. Take time away from the community to develop as a person. If you wish to do so then you may re-appeal in 6 months in the permanent appeals.

You've been incredibly lucky to have remained as long as you have but it's the opinion of myself along with a good number of the rest of the team that you're far overdue a good length of time away from RPUK.

APPEAL DENIED, PERM APPEAL ELIGIBLE IN 6 MONTHS
