Unban Appeal for Colin Forester
In-game Name: Colin Forester
Server: Altis Life
Steam ID: 76561198121614182
The date you got banned: 09/26/20
Member of the team that banned you: Admin Bowen
Reason given for your ban: 2.1 VDM
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned as I accidentally crashed my blue and white hummingbird into the side of a Blackfish which was landing at the laundry redzone.
I was flying my Hummingbird to Laundry to get in on the action and have some fun with PVP. While flying over to laundry where the incident occurred I was receiving a call on discord so I tabbed out of the game to accept the call. When I tabbed back into the game I had lost a fair amount of attitude and that a blackfish had appeared directly in front of me which wasn't there when I tabbed out.
I then tried to take evasive manoeuvres but I was travelling too fast and ended up ramming into the side of it exploding both my Heli and the blackfish. After the collision I immediately closed the game (rage quit) as due to the mistake I lost 600k worth in military gear and weapons as well as having no Heli until the next restart which I was pissed off about.
After taking a second to cool down I loaded back into arma where I changed my in game name to try and avoid the situation and carry on playing the game like normal. I know that was the wrong thing to do but I wasn't really thinking properly about it as if I recall this incident occurred around 01:00am GMT.
When I spawned back in and got picked up by an admin I talked with him about the situation and admitted that I was in the wrong and was willing to provide comp to anyone that may of lost gear. I didn't know who I killed during the incident as I rage quitted immediately.
I fully understand that the way I went about the aftermath of the incident was not handled correctly and that I should not have rage quitted out of impulse in the first place and for that I am truly sorry.
Why should we unban you ?: It has been 5 months since I was banned from the RPUK altis life servers. I was banned for rule 2.1VDM but have also had a ban history of teleporting, 1.2 language misuse, ARAC abuse and the VDM being the most recent and the "last straw".
From each of these events I learnt and developed as a player to not make the same mistakes again were an admin informs me on what im doing wrong to help learn. From my knowledge i was never banned for the same offence twice. I enjoy my time on RPUK servers were i was a member of an up and comming faction/gang at the time. We enjoyed interacting with the community and even managed to get a couple of our members in the mayors office. Time has passed since my Perma ban status which has allowed me to reflect on how i played and what i would do differently if i had the chance to play again. Ive been advertising the server to my friends who have shown an interest when arma next goes on steam sales and it would be fun to play with them. I believe that I have matured from the wrongdoing's of my past and spoken to admins on team speak to gain further understanding. I am asking for another chance to once again be a contributing member to the island community and rebuild our old group from the ground up with new players.
I apreciate your time.
Thank you
Colin Forester
