Unban Appeal for Scrabbles 

In-game Name: Rhys Nelk

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561199134813648

Ban ID: !!rpuk10916!!

Reason given for your ban: c2.3

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: was banned for combat logging however my game crashed and internet was playing up. (C2.3) Combat logging - Logging out at any point during RP is exploiting. Some examples of this include: logging out during a firefight, being chased by the police, arrested by the police, while dead awaiting a medic, logging out in order to save gear, rage-quitting, logging out whilst restrained/detained. Punishment is a permanent ban. Staff can make an informed decision depending on if you’ve made an attempt to resolve the issue. We do suggest you attempt to rejoin the server and continue the roleplay (try messaging them with the mobile system first).

Why should we unban you ?: I believe i should be unbanned due to the fact that i did not intentionally log off to save my in-game items, in reality my game crashed at an unfortunate time and my internet began to play up and i could not reconnect back onto the server. At this time 2 friends of mine jumped into a discord call with the people involved in the situation and told them what had happened and that is was unknown to when i may be back to which i believe my situation was acknowledged by the other party. After 30 minutes of attempting to reconnect and fix my internet i finally had to give up and sort out some IRL matters, a few hours later i got back home and as i logged into the server i instantly attempted to reach out in ooc and ask whether KC would be available to speak in discord about what had happened. previously this lead to no answer, So i took the iniative to message him on discord directly to attempt to resolve the situation and possibly continue the RP. I let him know that the decision on how he would like to resolve the matter was entirely up to him, as i understand that the entire scenario had affected his RP and possible ability to gain items off of me. He asked me to make a ticket for a staff members opinion on the matter to which i was then told to attempt to resolve the issue with the person who had initially reported me, I attempted to contact the reporter however i was unable to find his discord and was ignored when asking KC how i would be able to get a hold of him. I was still dead when i reached out to KC and got a response from him however this information was misunderstood in the Report, I understand that combat log is a perm ban with a 1-month appeal cooldown though i thought i could try my luck as the entire matter is a series of unfortunate events that could have been rectified without being brought to the forums. I love the RPUK community and quality RP within it and would hate to not be able to play for a long amount of time due this unfortunate incident. With the evidence i have attached you can see in the first screenshot that my game had crashed and that I had no internet: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987898477629554738/1049075121035423817/game_crash_no_internet.PNG In the second screenshot shows the attempt of resolving the issue with KC the same night after being unable to get in contact through the OOC chat feature ingame https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987898477629554738/1049075459096330280/KC.PNG After being dead on the floor for an estimated 15 minutes i was put into an RP situation of being taken to pillbox and saved from on the side of the road, This is when i edited my original message of telling KC that i hadn't been saved to informing him i had been. Due to KC wanting me to make a ticket regarding on how he wanted a staff members opinion on the subject, I was then told by a staff member to get into contact with the person who created the report on me this is where you can see in screenshot number 3 that i attempted to get a hold of Ted through KC however i was left with no response from him, https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/987898477629554738/1049080262149034004/TEDF.PNG you can also see from the comment on the report that i wanted to talk to Ted directly, I believe that due to me not being able to talk to Ted directly he may have been misled and not have known the full story to why i could not carry out the situation. Through this evidence i have provided i hope you can see that this was not a combat log and i did try to get in contact with those who was involved in the matter. In the report i can see the staff member mentioned that i had made no attempt to contact staff nor the other party however this is false as i had 2 friends who went into a discord call with KC and Ted straight after the original game crashing occurred who were then told about the situation and not left in the dark, this lead me to make no further action or ticket to staff at that moment as i believe it could be resolved once i was back and everything was working again.

Good evening @Scrabbles

So there is a lot to this from reading over, Now I will say with combat logging bans these do come with a one month cooldown period however this won't be the case for yourself due to everything that has come to light. There are somethings I have questions over though so these will need to be answered. 

I can see you did make a ticket three days after this happened, Why was this the case and why didn't you reach out to a member of staff via a ticket when this happened? 

 
Hi Stuart thanks for responding so soon, To answer your questions i did make a ticket the same night as the incident, as seen in the image provided along with one made 3 days later. The one that was the same night entailed me asking an admin on how the situation could be resolved to which i was told to speak to the reporter. The ticket made 3 days later was created after I was informed that I was banned, this was done in a desperate attempt to show my side of the story as I failed to do so when being reported. I could not speak to a member of staff moments after my game crashing due to my internet being a hinderance however due to being told that my friends have spoken to the people involved in the situation I was put to ease and after still trying to reconnect finally left it until hours later due to IRL matters.

I do remember seeing that ticket, However this was put in over an hour after returning to the server. Now you did try and reach out to Jack in OOC as soon as you came back however why didn't you try and reach out to Ted over Jack ? 

In relation to the report, How come you didn't show the full side within your report ? 

 
I didn't show the full side of my story in the report mostly due to the fact that i didn't believe at that time that it was necessary, however i now see that it was very important to do so. In relation to reaching out to Jack more than Ted i made the assumption that due to jack being more involved than Ted during the RP and the fact that Jack was easy to locate through discord I didn't think at the time it was necessary to have to speak to both, This was until i was told by a staff member to speak to the reporter directly, this is when i attempted to find Ted however was unsuccessful as Jack didn't seem to be able to reply to my inquiry.

 
Whilst at the time it might not seem like a "Big deal" to provide your side of the story it could of avoided all of this, Don't you agree? 

There is a lot that lead to the ban and knowing the full story from the start will only help us get to a conclusion that fits. Now, In the report it's mentioned about the weapon you had. What happened to this after you we're saved? 

Now you we're saved from this situation, How did this happen. Talk us through this. 

 
I Was saved by a randomer passing by and taking me to hospital once out of hospital i went to PD and logged off sometime after I proceeded to go to my house and store my items this included my weapon. 

 
I've had a look and the weapon isn't in the house, So what happened to this? As it's clear from the situation you would of lost it however due to the issues the arose you saved the weapon. 

 
I genuinely don't know, it should be maybe the house has been raided?

Does anyone else have access to your home since the weapon from looking over the situation would need to be removed from yourself, Since this isn't in your home is what lead me to the question to where it was and if that was what happened or if you give it to someone else. 

 
No i am the only person with keys and it was deifnetely in there when before i got banned which leads me to believe it has rather been raided or bugged out 

 
All good, I've done more digging and found out what happened to it overall so no problem there now. 

So lets say this kind of thing happens again where your internet goes down and you come back into the server down the line, How would you deal with this moving forth? 

 
If this situation was to happen again i would make sure to first of all contact the people involved and contact staff via a ticket ensuring everybody would then be up to date on the situation. If the situation is prolonged for hours i would make sure not to log back onto the server and create a time and date suitable for all to be able to continue the RP at hand.

 
Very well, We aren't here simply to punish people however we are also here to help to the best of our ability for all players. You are correct it's best contacting the person involved to attempt to resolve the situation over what you did do to save the weapon, This is the reason the combat logging ban was provided. Now looking into the report, appeal and further evidence brought forward to us I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as it does indeed look more to the side of unfortunate events that took place that lead you here to start with. 

You will indeed be allowed to return however keep in mind what has been said here and should something like this happen down the line don't use that to your advantage in an attempt to save gear (Something you did try and do) however I'm happy that this hasn't been saved after digging. I do hope that you don't return to this section moving forth and hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
