Unban Appeal for Lincoln 

In-game Name: Lincoln Burrows

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198073516987

Ban ID: RPUK#2192

Reason given for your ban: Exploiting

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: Firstly I'd like to apologise for my previous appeal, it was a while ago the ban was issued so bare with me on the full detail.

Okay so back in November 2020 I was temporarily banned by Stealthee to speak with him in discord, I went to discord and spoke with him about my ban. At first he thought (I believe) he was talking to me about a whole different issues, which is when previewing air vehicles at the air shop, there was a bug where it caused numerous explosions, so after about 15 minutes of looking at the planes and helicopters I was issued that first ban. Stealthee looked at this and saw it was a bug and unbanned me straight away, this part was not related to the main issues though. During that discussion he did ask how I obtained a large amount of money and I explained to him that I won the majority of it through blackjack at the casino, I was embarrassed at first so I did lie to him and did not reveal the truth. I think it was about two days later is when the 2nd temp ban was issued to once again talk to him in discord, which I went and spoke with him a second time. He again asked me how I obtained the money, as there was no actual log of how the money was on my character profile, just a discrepancy with my blackjack winnings/bettings etc, I felt bad at this point again and explained how I truly obtained the money. It was an exploit with the housing storage system at the time where I duplicated blackjack chips and then traded them in at the casino for cash. I fully explained how this was done so he could fix the issue as I believe other people at the time also figured this out.

Stealthee then explained how my ban will remain, which of course I fully agreed with as I cheated and I deserved the ban, he did say that I was able to appeal straight away if I wanted to as he asked a staff lead if I could or not, I can't remember who he asked though, it may have been Fluqi but I can not be 100% sure if that is right.

I decided not to appeal straight away as I was embarrassed by my actions and I felt at least a 6 month time away was deserved so I waited until now to appeal.

Why should we unban you ?: I have been a member of this community for such a long time and in all honesty, greed got the better of me on the occasion and I deeply regret doing so at all, let alone on a community that I do support and love being part of. I am not going to say it was a mistake because it was not, what I did was intentional and my actions were obviously not acceptable. I wish to return as I miss the roleplay aspect and just having a laugh with people in game.

Stealthee did say at the time of my ban that I could appeal straight away if I wanted to, but I deemed it myself that I deserved the time away for what I did and I feel I am ready to come back and offer high quality roleplay. I hope for a second chance within the community in some aspect, I would honestly do anything to return at this point as I sincerely regret what I have done.

For the staff/dev team who did put a lot of time into my actions during that time I truly am sorry for lying and not being honest the first time and I hope I can appeal for your forgiveness as I do believe I betrayed the trust of a good few people, I can't truly explained how bad I feel about doing what I did.

If I do get granted a second chance I promise to give the highest quality roleplay and nothing else. I have learned my lesson and I will never break any rules ever again, I do truly mean this.

To Stealthee; I am especially sorry to you as I lied to you directly about this situation and I honestly felt ashamed of myself for doing so, I should have been honest with you fully the first time you questioned me and I promise to never make any wrong judgements going forward.

Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

 
Exploiting is one of the most serious rule breaks you can commit on our server. 

Lying to the face of the man who has led the way in creating the server we have today even though you fully knew what you were doing and was banking on him / others investigating it 'giving up' or 'looking the other way' or even just not catching on. 

Unfortunately for you, most of us have been doing this for a very long time. We don't give up that easy. if something feels off, it usually is. 

This goes without saying but I'll state it anyway.

In the event you get unbanned, which hasn't been decided yet, your account has already been wiped. Your character deleted. 

----------------------

Now explain to me... What was going through your mind when you decided to cheat in such a way? Why did you do it?

I would fully expect a wipe of course, I would not want to continue where I left off of course. 

In all honesty, the first time it happened was purely accidental, I was transferring blackjack chips from myself to my house storage and it must have been desync of something as it duplicated the chips. When that happened I tested the theory and it happened again. The first element was curiosity and that curiosity turned to greed, which is highly unlike me. It's not my usual self. When Stealthee questioned me, as I mentioned before I was just very embarrassed and ashamed of my actions I tried to lie my way around it, which of course should not have done. 

If on the very rare chance I am given a second chance, I can promise you I would not do any such things ever again, I have lost a lot of respect from my friends and the staff team and I do honestly highly regret my actions. I want to be able to try and regain that respect in which ever way possible.  

 
This is not the first warning you have had for some sort of exploit though is it?

You also was someone who would exploit through prison gates and was warned for that? 

You also have been banned for combat logging to avoid roleplay.

How can we trust that allowing you back now would be beneficial for us? You have essentially spat in the face of the people that have took the time to make this server what it is today.

In relation to this, I believe there is two parts of it so I am unsure to which it is.

Part 1, some doors still opened regardless if they said "locked" or "unlocked" I remember speaking to staff in TS at the time for clarification as to go by what the door actually said or if the doors opened or not. This was a mixed outcome, some staff said that if the doors open for you, then of course go by that, some said go by what the doors said. I tended to go with what the doors did rather than said as within real life, you would just test the door and see if it opens etc. So if this is just miscommunication to what should be done in those circumstances, I am sorry again and would request clarification on that, however I would assume that issue may have been fixed now, I am unsure.

Part 2, There was a time I did do the glitch at the prison to get into the outer courtyard as the prison at the time was bugged for some people, causing them to never be released automatically. I obviously shouldn't have done it and an admin did pop up 30 seconds later which I explained to him what the situation was. HE gave me a verbal warning and then I believe shortly after I was manually released due to that bug. So I do apologies about that, I wasn't trying to cause anyone grief or anything I was just stuck well beyond my time and I was struggling to get assistance within RP and out of RP at the time. 

You also have been banned for combat logging to avoid roleplay.
To this I have looked at the forums for a jog of memory as I do not recall combat logging, but I do recall a situation where I was taken to a alley way, killed/injured then left there. Shortly after I temporarily disconnected and rejoined within a couple of minutes. I believe a ban was issued but I came to TS and spoke to the staff member and the ban was lifted. I can't honestly remember the conversation, just key aspects of the situation itself. I couldn't find a forum thread with my appeal on it. I would never intentionally combat log to cause negative roleplay or reflect an RP situation, most people know I do heavily enjoy roleplay and always like to see the outcome from all situations. 

How can we trust that allowing you back now would be beneficial for us? You have essentially spat in the face of the people that have took the time to make this server what it is today.
I would feel confident in saying that I do provide high quality and interesting roleplay situations for myself and others. I have broken the trust of the staff and development team and I can only hope to regain that trust over time and prove to you all that I am genuinely sorry for my actions and only wish to contribute to the enjoyment of everyone in the community. 

I would even go to the length of potentially live streaming my time while playing fully to ensure everything is recorded and logged, if that is something that could help reassure the staff team. I know I have said this already but I do hope for a second chance and I promise you that if I do get unbanned, I will do everything and go above and beyond to simply create positive experiences for others within roleplay and of course regain the communities trust for me.

 
Ill be honest with you Lincoln I am very doubtful regarding you in this case, what's to stop you from doing something similar again there is no guarantee you can give us.

You have caused us a lot of troubles trying to track down all the duped money and a lot of people have spent a lot of time to fix the issues in the economy your exploiting has caused.

Not to mention countless other people "that I'm assuming you"*Edit told how to do the exploit, which we also had to track down afterwards and clean their mess, I am not convinced that letting you back is a good idea whatsoever.

I can fully understand you doubt me and I can only apologise and say how deeply I regret what I did and can promise fully I would never do any such thing again. There is no way for me to prove that apart from simply trying to regain the trust I once had. As I mentioned in my previous post, I deemed so I would even live stream my time online if requested of me.

To the last part of your post, I have never told a single person how the dupe was done apart from Stealthee to fix it. I do know there was a group of 3 or 4 guys that were banned within the same time frame of myself for duping but my only interaction with them was when I bought a couple of guns from them within RP. This is new news to me as I was never blamed or accused for sharing that kind of info and I promise you that sharing info like this is something I'd never ever do. 

I am not trying to appeal this ban just to get banned again, I am appealing because I am truly sorry for my actions and I hope to return and create fun RP with everyone. 

I would be willing to do anything to return, whether that be on a trial basis, live stream everything, etc I just want to return and be a genuine honest member of the community again. I fully appreciate the time you are all giving me within this appeal and I will respect whatever decision is made, I can only hope I am given a slither of a second chance to prove myself going forward. 

 
Right @Lincoln

I am going to make the decision based on your time in this community that i will give you another chance. Now, as already mentioned your character has already been deleted so you will be starting again. I want to make this very very clear to you from now. Even the slightest hint of anything dodgy from you again you will never be back and this will be your only chance. I am taking a risk i feel unbanning you but know that we will be watching very closely.

I want to see this "new" version of you. If your name seems to crop up in the wrong areas again such as "report a player" sections of the forums and such i will revoke my decision straight away. Like nuclear has said you have wasted a lot of time and also dev resources tracking down the pile of shit you caused from your own selfishness. 

So like i said, best behavior and LAST chance. 

You will be unbanned as of now.
