Unban Appeal for BenC
In-game Name: Ben Thomas
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198283644476
Ban ID: !!rpuk8917!!
Reason given for your ban: C2.2 & G2.3
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: On the 5th June 2022 I was banned for exploiting after a bug with the police drone which has since been fixed caused me to be invincible. You don’t know if you’re invincible until you get into a situation like I did. About an hour after flying the drone I was chasing a truck with about 20 guys on the back of it and they jumped off in order to attack me. I pulled out a firearm and tried to shoot them to defend myself. They continued to hit me, more and more however my health bar did not go down. I didn’t realise at first until it was too late however I should’ve, and when I did, I did nothing about it which was wrong of me and I’m completely daft and stupid not to and I want to put it right now. I had downed one person whilst the rest ran away. I arrested the guy and processed him on the streets and gave him a £2000 fine but at the same time, like an idiot I acted as if I had just been in a wonderland. Not roleplaying injuries. This combined with the exploiting caused me to be banned and I realise, after my reflection that it could’ve been all fixed in 2 clicks of a button. All I had to do was /die. I didn’t and therefore I received a permanent ban for exploiting and not roleplaying injuries. It is my fault, no one else's and I’m taking responsibility and hope to put things right with everyone who was involved and also the staff that banned me.
Why should we unban you ?: I’ve now been banned for a month, a month of reflection, a month to see what I’ve done wrong. From day 1 I was confused and was in denial of what really happened. When I woke up on Sunday I found out I was banned and I had never been banned on any server or any game before so it was a shock, and to find out that it was a permanent ban was even more of a blow. When I submitted my last unban appeal I admit, all I was doing was making excuses, excuses don’t put things right and certainly I wasn’t taking responsibility for my actions. To put it simply, I messed up and now I’m going to try and put it right. With the exploiting, I can promise you that I had no malicious intent with the situation and I can honestly say I had no prior knowledge of the bug before the situation, that being said though and after a conversation I had with management they explained to me how the exploiting rule is actually applied and I understand it better now and I admit that I made a grave mistake of not /dying and continuing with the situation so yes now I do admit to the exploiting and I would like to make a personal apology to every single person in that situation who lost something whether it was time, happiness or money and I would be more than happy to compensate the person who was fined. At the time I thought I was doing the right thing (by continuing the rp) but now after looking back at the situation I know I wasn’t, and there was so much I could’ve done better and everything I shouldn’t have done. There's no excuses anymore and I would like to own up to my actions and seriously apologise to all that was involved. As management told me “even if I didn’t intend to exploit, I benefited and won which makes the outcome the same”, I read this a few times and took it in. I did win in a situation, however this ruins the gameplay for others. At the end of the day it is a game and how can someone enjoy the game if I ruin it for them. My judgement was wrong and I apologise. At the time my judgement was wrong and I should’ve noticed what I was doing and stopped, I hold my hands up and apologise for everything and I hope I can put all wrong, right.
Now why should I be unbanned? Well I’ve been a part of the community for a year this month and I’ve never been banned before this and on other communities and other games I’ve never had a ban. I have put a lot of work into this community mainly for the police, I have put hours of work in and have tried to make the police a better place. I created a whole database for CID which I hoped to help CID with that, however I never got to see it in action after my idiotic actions. This doesn’t excuse me for what I’ve done however I think it should be taken into account to show I do have dedication to the community and that if I do get unbanned then I will continue to work hard and put things right. I believe we all make mistakes in moments of madness, it was a lot more than a mistake but I’m willing to put it behind me, remember it, act off it and learn from it. I feel that if you learn from your mistakes that's a lot more valuable than anything else. I fucked up, I admit it and I sincerely apologise for it and I hope the people that were affected can forgive me. My Ben Thomas character I think has provided good roleplay for his time here and certainly through his CID investigations has certainly had some effect in shaping parts of the server. My first ever investigation on Albert Berstine and Bon Janos took around 3 months and we went through the courts and as far as I know both of the guys enjoyed it and I certainly did, it was something new and exciting which hadn’t occurred that often before as far as I know. I’ve made enemies but some good friends on my cop character which is part of the role but from my time there, many people were brought together with a common goal and a common aim. I spent a lot of time on my police character and I made some good friends and to see that all go to waste in the space of an hour was heartbreaking. Because of a string of mistakes that evening, it cost me a lot, it cost me more than I gained and to have it ripped away (as it should’ve been) it really showed how much you miss something whilst it’s gone. I vow now that in the future if I do get unbanned that I will make sure that I don’t do anything wrong, we will always make mistakes as that’s human however the big mistakes like exploiting won’t. In the month of reflection it’s made me realise that admitting your mistakes and correcting them is the best way forward and I respect rpuk’s decision to ban me but I hope you can forgive me and you will allow me back to this community and I vow to you that I will work hard to not only correct my mistakes but learn from them. And again I apologise to all those that were affected from my actions.
