The date of your ban.
01/06/18

Member of the team that banned you.
Stavik

Reason given for your ban.
2.4

The Server you initially were banned on.
Server 2

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
I was banned for using the exploit with diamonds, where you teleport trucks from one garage to another. I was also banned because of telling other players on the server how to do it.

Why should we unban you ?
I wasn't aware doing that is considered as exploiting and against the rules. I told the other guy on teamspeak "some would say it's exploiting but also admins have been seen doing it". By "also admins have been seen doing it" I refered of me actually not knowing it's against the rules. On teamspeak an admin questioned my awearness of this being considered as exploiting, however, according to what I've heard(admins doing it) and seen(other players doing it) I thought it's not considered as exploiting. After being banned I've thought about this and yes, I can see how this can be considered exploiting, but at the time I wasn't aware. Also according to others, this "trick" has existed for so long, I thought that if it was considered as exploiting, it would have been already dealt with somehow. I've very sorry for doing this and spreading the information. My defense is and will be, that I wasn't aware of this being exploiting.

I've told you once, I'll say it once more.

If you want the claim of 'admins doing it' to be considered you will need to give me names of that staff member otherwise we will assume you are lying and simply using that as a random excuse.

The names please.

 

[Toivo]

I never was the one witnessing admins doing it, I just heard that from a friend of mine. Also I'm not using that as an excuse of what I've done. Of course it's not wise to listen what other players say rather than going by the rulebook, playing by the rules is what I do almost every time, this happened to be an exception. This will not happen again. Now that I've had time to review the rules and think about this, I see very clearly how this can be considered as exploiting, since the advantage gained from using that trick is so huge and unfair to other players. Also the game's market gets unbalanced.

In your ban notes, there is mention that you did a few other exploits ie stirring at a wall and taking out of your house rather than going inside?

Also, we have reports of you deliberately going on server 2 to avoid having to interact with people?

This sounds like you know full well about all these exploits and you still intentionally do it.

 

[Toivo]

I wasn't aware that I have to be inside the building in order to use the property menu, now that you mentioned it and I took a look at the rules you are right indeed. I don't know why I wasn't aware of this even I've read the rules so many times. I missed this part compleatly. 

If I remember correctly, I came back to the server after being some time offline, I never just changed the server. I remember the admin mentioning this on teamspeak which I didn't agree with. 

If I was aware these are considered as exploiting, I wouldn't have done these. I would have also told my other friends doing it to stop. Intentionally risking my account to save time driving trucks and opening one door would be very stupid and I can not imagine me doing so.

 

[Alfred]

Have you now correctly informed your friends not to do the exploit you told them about? It worries me that we may have a few extra people exploiting because of you have told them.

 

[Toivo]

Yes, since I was banned this has been a huge topic in our teamspeak channel and I'm sure that every friend of mine knows this is considered as exploiting and not to do that.

 

[Alfred]

we will be watching you and your friends to ensure that we do not see any more use of these exploits.
