Unban Appeal for Matthew Labile
In-game Name: Matthew Labile
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561199154044240
Ban ID: rpuk#5203
Reason given for your ban: Forum Report G2.4/C2.2/G2.3
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I feel I was banned due to the fact that I did not value my life. In the situation, I attempted to save someone who I feel had been wrongfully shot. Knowing that, I should have stayed away from the scene as in the footage, I was clearly outnumbered. I should not have attempted to get the person with that many guns pointed at me. I also considered the fact that I did not expect to get shot for attempting to help someone injured as this was the police at the end of the day. Nevertheless, It was still no value of life from my end. (G2.4) I was also banned for the poor standard of RP I provided to the police in the situation. Also in the footage, I made some comments towards the police which could be considered poor RP. But, I feel this was a reflection of the RP provided by the police to me throughout the situation. So I made the poor choice of descending to that level and providing the same standard back. Which again, was wrong on my end. I should have attempted to make better of the situation despite the circumstances. (G2.3) Finally, I was also banned for Exploiting (C2.2). At the time, I did not think that doing what I was doing would be considered an exploit. Looking at the video provided in my report, I would consider my actions power gaming. This is because it looked as if I forced a situation where the police could not properly handcuff me. I would not have done this had I known this would be considered an exploit. At the time, I did not realise that this action would prevent the police from escorting me. With the rules considered, what I did was still wrong.
Why should we unban you ?: I will start by saying that I feel I should have received a 2 day or even a week ban for what I was doing. This is because, looking at the clip which Shepherd produced, it was not good at all on my part. I feel I unintentionally power gamed the fact that the body on my shoulder stopped the police from escorting me. Had I knew this was the case or had the police suggested that this was the case, I would have stopped. However, I did not. I don’t dispute the fact that this was wrong. I feel in future, I will not allow my emotions to get the better of me and provided some better RP for the police, despite what they had provided to me on the lead up to this situation. I will also in future, avoid situations where I am evidently outnumbered by the police presence there. However, I did not expect to get arrested for helping someone who is injured. This is taking into account the fact that I was not wearing any kind of gang-related clothing, Shepherd was not aware of the fact that I was an Azteca to my knowledge and I was clearly not a threat. I had even been stood next to Shepherd in cover for a significant amount of time while being completely ignored by the police. I was not able to defend myself as I messaged Shepherd over the forums when the report went up, and he said what can be viewed in the attached screenshot: https://gyazo.com/9c5a1f473a91f4fec786ffe6f52ca82f
I was taking some time to consider a response to the report, however, It was closed by a single response so unfortunately, I was unable. I am now fully aware of what I have done wrong after considering my action before this appeal. I have also had time to read the rules to make it clear to myself exactly what I have done wrong. In hindsight, I still feel I deserved to be banned for what I did but I feel a permanent ban is slightly excessive for the actions. Therefore, that is the part I am appealing. Had I known that this would drastically affect the polices ability to cuff me and deal with me, I would have complied and allowed them to do whatever it was they were planning to do with me. After this, I am fully aware of the issue. I would also like to address the comments made to the police. I made the comment because I felt all avenues of dealing with me hadn’t been explored and they jumped straight to an option that limited mine massively which I was a bit annoyed about so the comment was made. It was not meant in a malicious way, however, it could be considered a poor standard of RP considering what happened to me throughout the situation. Since Shepherd appears reluctant to talk to me anywhere about this, despite my attempt to reach out as you can see above, I’d like to use this as a medium to apologise for my actions and comments made towards him.
