Unban Appeal - Oli Sheard - GTA RP

[Oli Sheard]

Unban Appeal for Oli Sheard 

In-game Name: Oli Sheard

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561199001026830

The date you got banned: 04/10/21

Member of the team that banned you: Ciaran

Reason given for your ban: Exploit

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I believe I was banned for a misunderstanding of exploitation in the casino.

Why should we unban you ?: I was told by a someone in the casino that you can buy free blackjack tokens from the person at the desk (they didn't tell me that it was an exploit) and I believed that there were just letting you get free tokens. With the token that I had I gambled them and turned them into more, I wasn't just turning token I had been given straight into money (as I understood that would be wrong in terms of game breaking exploit). I have been in the server a while now, earning my cash from trucking and other jobs in the city, I wouldn't dream of trying to exploit the system and completely go against the hard work that me and others do to get money. I didn't understand what I was doing was wrong in the situation however now I've stood back and thought about it, I understand how it could be perceived to you and I should of thought more before I decided to go ahead and do it. I wouldn't ever try to exploit the rules and ruin the experience of other players and myself by gaining an advantage through a exploit. Thanks Oli Sheard

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

You were told by someone that you can buy free blackjack tokens? from the person at the desk? - Who told you this?

You wasn't changing tokens straight back into money because you understood it would be wrong? - In what way would this be wrong?

You have been apart of our community now for a decent amount of time... Surely you knew this was abnormal yet you persisted and tried to gain the maximum amount of profit and didn't bother, at all, contacting a member of staff to see whether this was intentional or not? - Why not?

Hello,

Oli cannot reply to your comment due to him commenting on another thread defending himself which he was unaware this was the wrong line of communication to go through when trying to argue his innocence. He has asked me if I would post his reply for him with him not wanting to waste the admins time by having to check if he's replied, closing the appeal when it times out etc... I apologise in advance if this is not allowed just trying to get this issue resolved without it causing more hassle for either parties involved.

You were told by someone that you can buy free blackjack tokens? from the person at the desk? - Who told you this?

"I didn't know the person who told me about the casino chips (I don't know his name and i have never seen him before)"

You wasn't changing tokens straight back into money because you understood it would be wrong? - In what way would this be wrong?

"I understand that it would be wrong to change the chips straight back into money as that is obviously just duplicating money and is obviously the wrong thing to do. Therefore, i was just using the chips to gamble with (at the time i didn't even think about changing them straight back into money)."

You have been apart of our community now for a decent amount of time... Surely you knew this was abnormal yet you persisted and tried to gain the maximum amount of profit and didn't bother, at all, contacting a member of staff to see whether this was intentional or not? - Why not?

"At the time, I didn't really understand that it was unusual until I had finished gambling where i lost some of the chips, so i tried to cash them in and the tokens was just disappearing. At this moment i realised that what had been happening was probably a glitch and wasn't supposed to be happening. Therefore i just stuck around in the casino to see if anybody came along who was experiencing the same issue with the chips, then Farther Augustus came in and he started talking about how the chips was glitching. I would of ran and tried to hide outside of the casino if i believed what i was doing  was wrong. If i was in this situation again, I would contact admins straight away using /OOC chat or directly through the Discord if I had and concerns of a glitch in the server."

These are all Oli's words and not mine

EDIT: After further review I am aware that this is against:

(C5.4) Commenting on a ban appeal or report a player thread that is not involving you

However, as it is direct qoutes straight from Oli himself I was hoping that this would be allowed due to the fact it is trying to cause less hassle for admins having to look at an appeal already created due to a timeout.

I wouldn't ever try to exploit the rules and ruin the experience of other players and myself by gaining an advantage through a exploit.

Yet that is exactly what you and your mates did.

Denied. Appeal in 6 months.
