Server: Community Banned
Ban Reason: G1.2 C1.10 C1.6
Why do you think you were banned: Hello, I'd like to begin this appeal by mentioning that this is going off the best recollection and memory I have of the events leading up to my ban. With that being said, the first reason for my initial ban was G1.2. My actions that led to this punishment occurred after I failed to correctly escalate a situation with the police force in a fun and dynamic way. In the moment, I jumped to developing the scene in an unthoughtful manner that involved the use of gun crime without sufficient roleplay being provided beforehand. Due to my lack of roleplay in this scenario, a successful report against myself was submitted by Adam Busy. Overall, my actions leading up to this altercation were sudden, unjustified, and the level of roleplay I provided was abysmal.
The second reason for my punishment is C1.10. This was given to me following an immature altercation that took place between myself, other Hustlers, and the leader of the organised crime group, "Grove Street". Whilst dressed in my old Grove Street outfit and in possession of an MP5, other Hustlers used inappropriate language toward myself whilst stealing my vehicle. I incapacitated the driver of the vehicle, as well as all other Hustlers who made an attempt to shoot myself in retaliation. Looking back, whilst I saw this as a harmless joke and assumed all parties involved would too, it clearly wasn't.
Finally, my C1.6 Community Ban was issued after I followed through with disrespectful, inhumane actions which violated the privacy of another member within the community.
Why should we unban you: My next course of action for this appeal is to explain my side, not justify, and speak about why I believe you should grant me with a second chance.
Following my return from the 6-month cooldown I had received in February 2023, in all honesty, the love and passion for playing the server I had prior to my punishment had dropped significantly and, although I wish I had, I can't say I enjoyed the server near as much as I used to. Why? A high number of my friends in and out of Hustlers had left the community, and for me, this was a definitive demotivating factor. However, as well as this, I had moved on. I held this community close to me for the best part of two or three years, and I suppose I followed new roles and responsibilities I had took on which trumped roleplay.
Following my ban for G1.2, I thought this was it, and I knew that for me it was the end of the road. I never intended to get community banned, and I am deeply ashamed that I did. Personally, I believe I was a well-respected player and had paved the path for many - but I needed a break. My only view of how to get this long needed break was to get community banned. Unfortunately, during this time, a certain individual was receiving a lot of backlash and was seen as a 'target' as such for many others. I hopped on the bandwagon of targeting this person for zero gain to myself and, again, I am remorseful of my actions. I am not the kind of person to target an individual for no particular reason, and in all honesty, I have no idea why I did. It may have been pressure, or the fear of being judged by others, but in the end I did, and I regret what I said to this individual.
I always valued my position on the server and played it loads, I see it as some of the most fun I have had with the friends I made in the community, and I will value the many memories I made here at Roleplay.co.uk.
I hope this appeal finds you well, and I hope whomever reads this can see it in me to allow my return.
