Reason given for your ban.
OOC Abuse

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
I abused OOC chat. I raged. I said rude things and vented my frustration in a place it wasn't meant to be vented in.

Why should we unban you ?
*THIS UNBAN APPEAL IS A REAPPLICATION OF A PREVIOUS BAN APPEAL THAT TIMED OUT A FEW MONTHS AGO AS I DID NOT ANSWER A QUESTION IN TIME, ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ARE INCLUDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS APPEAL*

First of all I want to say; I am usually responsible and mature. But, as all of us humans do, sometimes I get ticked off. Look, I love this community, I've invested a lot of time into this community and have been part of lots of really fun roleplay. I'm sorry for what I've done. I'm an honest individual. On my track record it might be easy to see the few times I've got banned over the course of several months, but if you look at that please don't overlook the times I've played and not been banned and actually contributed to this community.

I made a mistake, and I know I did, I'm sorry to all those involved. I did not direct my anger towards one individual specifically but continues to rage even as I was warned by other players to stop - to which I responded to with some level of leeriness. I think I should be unbanned because I really am sorry, and I mean it, and I can't promise I won't get banned again because I am honest about the fact that I am flawed but I promise I will try my best, as I always do. And everytime I get in trouble and I promise I'll be better next time; believe me, I've stuck to it.

I was angry because I felt I had been wronged. I felt like I had been unfairly robbed and roleplay had been failed by the robbers aswell as the police involved. I know that if this ever happens again, I shouldn't rage in the chat and get myself in trouble. If I really think I've been wronged, I should take it to the appropriate channels (teamspeak, forums) and never ever abuse the wrong avenues.

In short; I think I should be unbanned because I love this community, I try my best, I will continue to try to contribute to this community as I have done in the past, I am sorry for what I have done, I understand what I have done, and I promise I will try to be better next time.

__________________________________
RULES I BROKE:

The rules I believe I have broken:

(1.3) Swearing at someone outside of roleplay is not tolerated and will be punished by a ban.

(1.6) The Staff Team may ban any member from the servers and community at any time if they are considered disruptive to the community or we have a valid reason to believe they are here to cause issues.

(3.2.2) Extended OOC interactions are forbidden.

In my own words.

I swore in OOC chat out of roleplay. This is forbidden. I should be respectful of everyone when out of roleplay, and disrespect should only be used in a roleplay situation when the other character knows it is not serious. (To me swearing and disrespect = same thing swearing is the most obvious way to disrespect someone in text chat).

I disrupted the community. I shouldn't have caused a fuss, spammed in OOC, disrupted and disturbed other people's roleplay while doing so.

I continued to use the OOC, for no good reason, to achieve no greater purpose, even despite other characters telling me I had to stop using the OOC to vent my frustration.

go fuck yourselves, every minute I spent on this server was a waste of fucking time

that is what you said , And now you want to come back ?

My answer: Yes, I do want to come back. I said something I shouldn't have said in a heated moment and honestly regret it. Sometimes we tell our loved ones we hate them and we wish we didn't know them when we are angry, but that is not the truth. I regret my actions and would like another chance to be part of this great gaming community. Months have elapses since the incident and I believe I have grown as a person and as a player, and have matured and it is unlikely I will repeat this mistake. Thank you for hearing me out!

I say it's unlikely because as a person I do not like to say things with certainty that I cannot be certain of. If I make a mistake again, which I promise I will try my hardest not to, but in the case I do - it's awkward to look back and feel like a liar when I gave false assurances. I promise I will try my best, and I am very likely to succeed in this through my active effort. Maybe my honesty is a flaw, but just appreciate the same person that tells you the truth that they can't be sure they won't do it again is the same person that tells you the truth and is sincere when they say they are sorry and they will try their best not to do it again. 

Don't get it wrong, I HAVE learnt from my mistakes, and will there is a 99.9% chance I will not repeat the same mistake, but I cannot assure I won't unintentionally make others. I do promise how ever, that if I do I will learn from them.

In regards to the long time between reappealing, I'll be honest - I took a break from Arma 3 and games in general to focus on some more important aspects of my life at the time, exams and school and such, and then I went on a long summer holiday and when I got back I've been busy with university. I was just as sorry then as I am now, the only difference being that now I am more mature.

If you were to get unbanned, what could you bring to the community as a whole? What are your intentions upon your return?

 

[RayBars]

My intentions are to continue to play on the server with quality roleplay, as I have been, except without the drama and rulebreaking. Im gonna get to know other players, make some friends (and some enemies - within roleplay). I'll go focus on the roleplay aspect, not the money making aspect not the fragging aspect. 

My aim is to have fun but only aslong as through it other players are having fun too. 

I shall return, ima do some runs, make some money, build up an empire, buy some 'assets', some licenses, maybe save up for a house, maybe build up/join a gang a like. Maybe even eventually join the NHS. The possibilities are endless, I'll see where the current takes me

 

[NotMattch]

Make sure we don't see you back here again then.

Unbanned.
