Server: Community Banned
Ban Reason: 1.6 - The Staff Team may remove 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.
Why do you think you were banned: I was banned during the seaside blanket ban which, to my knowledge, was caused by someone associated with seaside posting a video in a public channel in the roleplay.co.uk discord server. This was what was speculated at the time by a few people at the time of the bans. What didn't help was some of the members posting clips of them cheating as soon as they were banned. I was one of the few in seaside about the cheating and did not partake in it. Another thing that definitely didn't help my previous appeal was staying in contact with the guys from seaside for a while after the bans as at the time they were my friends and I didn't want to alienate myself and have nobody to play games with.
Why should we unban you: When the blanket ban rolled out I was quite shocked and didn't know whether to wait a while to appeal or just appeal then and there. I don't remember if I did put an appeal up straight away as like a last ditch effort but my plan after a couple days of thinking was to write a proper appeal a few months later. I can't find when I put this appeal up but I'm pretty sure It was sometime at the beginning of 2024.
I genuinely didn't mean to offend anyone by being a part of seaside whether that was through being a part of the group that revealed private information about people on the server or whether it was through being a part of the group that used cheats to win gunfights and make it unfun for the other side. The biggest intance of using cheats in a gunfight was one I was involved with and it was against police at pillbox bridge. It was definitely the most 1-sided fight I've been in on the server and even realised that at the time. This should've been a huge redflag to me at the time but I didn't think much of it and think it was due to a lack of knowledge about cheats and how to spot them. Even though it was well over a year ago I would like to apologise to the police involved in that fight as you could've been doing more fun things on the server rather than fighting cheaters.
Before my 1.6 I had been banned one time that I had know about which was when I first started playing the server and it was for combat logging. After this I went without a ban, warning or even a kick for around 2 years. Not that this should be a reason to unban me but I think it should give me some merit and show the staff reading this that I wouldn't do anything to harm the server or the playerbase intentionally. Since my last appeal at the beginning of last year(I think?) I have played a few servers. I played one for 5-6 months but it eventually fizzled out long with the rest of the servers. The reason I'm appealing now is because none of the communities I've played in have quite matched the enrgy that the roleplay.co.uk community has. Playing on these other servers has broadened my roleplay and opened new storylines I would want to try if I was given the chance to return to the server. To own up to my mistakes I will say my quality of roleplay did drop towards the last few months on the server and I adopted more of a frag mentality. I do regret this as I probably wouldn't be banned right now because I'd of went down a different path with my roleplay.
If I had known what the guys in seaside were doing before or after the fact of joining I would've broke contact with them and reported it to staff. I know this doesn't or can't change what has happened but I hope it can show that I wanted to do the right thing. Another thing I'd like to mention is I had nothing to do with any of the videos seaside made after being blanket banned. I didn't even know they existed and only found out about them long after my ban. I know that sounds like I'm making excuses but I feel as though it had to be mentioned.
Thank you to whatever staff member takes the time to read this, I apologise if I've repeated things I've said in my previous appeal.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes
