As mentioned in my previous appeal, the reason for my ban was due to trolling and being a toxic general nuisance to certain members of the community and a couple of the staff members. I portrayed myself in a way that is unacceptable and handed myself a rightful one-way ticket out of the community.
Why should we unban you: I would like to start this off by apologising once again to Robbie and Stavik for my time wasting, toxic and disgusting behaviour. Although I cannot undo what I did I would just like to offer my sincere apology once again.
This all happened 2 years ago in the summer of ‘22. As you know there was a ‘MASS’ ban of Vagos members following inappropriate racist comments being made by certain people in the private discord and evidently got seen by staff and the rightful action was taken against them. Like I mentioned in my previous appeal I wasn’t amongst those banned due to this reason and that is something I would never engage in. My ban came as a result of my own silly and stupid actions.
Over the 2 years I had been on the server leading upto this point I had pretty much always been involved with Vagos. Initially, the fiirst 4 months was my first time on FiveM, messing about with friends outside of the community and then interacting with people in the community for the first time, creating funny memories and crafting up interesting and exciting RP scenarios such as the memorable L1 straps getting bullied left, right and centre (mainly by aztecas), having issues with the Callaghans, creating an NHS character who went rouge and stabbed his boss etc etc. All of the memories and experiences laid the foundation for my enjoyment within the community, and I wanted to progress into something a bit more serious. This is when I started hanging about Vagos. Since then, I have stuck with Vagos and the majority of the members stayed the same throughout. I grew closer to everyone in the gang playing games and chatting outside of the server, which led to the development of a decent group of friends, which is what the community is all about. By the end, the group was a fairly tightknit group of people and was a fun and sociable group. When the bans started rolling in, I had a very narrow-minded approach of thinking and naively believed that as all these people are getting banned, the server won’t be the same, I won’t enjoy it anymore. Consequently, I made the decision to go and get myself banned but have what I thought was a ‘bit of fun with it.’
From what I can recall I messaged Robbie on discord and started trolling him. A lot of the messages were more ‘playful’ and had no malicious intent however I mixed that in with language that crossed the line and is unacceptable, nor should be tolerated within the community. Once again, I can only apologise. I also had a similar approach with stavik which I can only hold my hands up and apologise for. Looking back on it I haven’t got a clue what I was thinking. I created this perception of myself that is so alien to what I am actually like as a person. Why I acted in that way? I can’t really come to terms with it and it’s something, to this day, I am not proud of.
After my ban I remember trying out other FiveM servers for the next couple of months, yet none could rival the unique experience RPUK had to offer. This made me realise how stupid I have been and what I have let go.
Since then, I have barely touched my PC let alone FiveM. I took a huge break away from everything due to IRL commitments. I distanced myself with pretty much everyone within the community apart from the occasional message to the odd person here or there. To be honest I don’t even remember everyone who was apart of Vagos when the bans rolled in, what they are doing now, if they are still on the server or not.
The 2 years separating now, and the ban has definitely seen me progress and develop as an individual, having huge IRL commitments which i have had to develop and adapt to. I can assure you I am no longer the toxic person you once took me to be. You may be thinking why try and appeal now? Although I will still be busy IRL I will have soon have some more free time on my hands, and this is something that I could fill that time with. A place to chill and have a bit of fun, creating long lasting memories. These 2 years away from the server and FiveM has given me time to grow as a person, become more mature and now I feel ready to come back.
Everything I did in the past I cannot undo I can only apologise for my actions and to anyone who I offended. I would be extremely grateful if I could be presented with a path back into the community and the opportunity to display that I am not that toxic, childish person you once saw and someone who can go back to providing fun and interesting RP scenarios and making other people’s time on the server one to remember.
Thank you to whoever is taking time out of their day to read this appeal. I look forward to awaiting your response.
