Ban Reason: Toxicity
Why do you think you were banned: I was banned 10 years ago due to my childish ways and my 'beef' with Wilco.
Back in 2014, I used to be a member of the Altis Life community. I was somewhat a toxic player... and didn't react well to direct confontation.
The whole 'ban incident' was for some reason a public matter and eventually a community vote.
After that first initial ban, I was unbanned by Wilco himself (if memory serves me right) and I stayed away from RPUK. Life moved on as did I to GrandTheftArma.co.uk.
I made some comment on a thread on the GrandTheftArma.co.uk forums, saying it was 'stupid' how much RPUK paid for this domain.
Wilco banned me and that was the end of it.
Why should we unban you: I do not contest my first ban whatsoever, it was well deserved... I was a stupid kid who deserved to be threated like that.
I do believe my 'second' ban was unjustified. Yes I did make an unecessary comment, but I don't think it was a reason to community ban me again. However, the comments made by me, dickriding my then friends in order to act cool or to get their approval was the reason that got me banned...
Over the last years, I've grown a lot. It sounds crazy justifying some of my old actions on my age, but I truly do believe most of them actions were because of it... I work (IRL) with a lot of people who need help and rely on me to further develop their carrers, I'm responsible for training and recruiting around 60 stores at a national level.
In a 'gaming' sense, I've had the chance to be in a lot of communities since ALUK and reached high ranking in police forces (Revolution Gaming (the first FiveM RP community with menus), , RivalryRP, NoPixel and some others) and overall I truly do believe I can be a great adition to the RPUK community. I had quit RP for a while, but I have a lot of friends from a lot of communities that work here, some of them are even staff now.
I hope in no way the 'shortness' of the appeal is problem. I just don't really know what else to type as when I look back on what initially got me banned I do feel somewhat an unmeasurable amount of 'shame'.
I tried to find my old username but cannot find it, it was either just Dante or PhantoM (https://www.roleplay.co.uk/members/dante.154397/, that might be the one).
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes
