Unban Appeal - Soarific - GTA RP

[Soarific]

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Elton Prawn
Steam ID: 76561198059269221
Ban ID (just the numbers): rpuk12106
Ban Reason: C2.3 + G1.6
Why do you think you were banned: It has been over a year since I was banned so my recollection of events may be a bit vague but to my knowledge I was banned for combat logging and being out of character. I was abducted by a gang and driven across the city, from there I was left to die, the gang then returned and put me back in a car and from this point I disconnected from the server, only to rejoin at a later time.
Why should we unban you: I appealed last month and was denied by Phoenix, he told me to go away for a month and gain some RP experience on other servers. I am here a month later to reappeal and hope I can be given another chance. I have played on a few servers over the course of the month, mainly Vanity Network and United Gaming which tend to focus more on the serious RP side of things. I'm not too sure what Phoenix would like me to explain but on Vanity Network I roleplayed as character who wanted to escape to the city from his previous life, I got a job at a local fast food chain where I became entangled with a criminal group, I became a drug runner on the side whilst trying to stay out of sight from the law and work my fast food job.

I did not break any rules and enjoyed my time on the server but ultimately I keep coming back to Roleplay UK as that is the best one as I have mentioned before. Please can you give me another chance to prove I can play seriously? If there is any specific things you require from me please let me know.

****I was on holiday and returned to a timed out appeal, and it said the post was moved to another forum which I couldn't see, I'm not sure what the timed out means and if I'm ok to appeal again here?***

To answer Danoo's questions on the previous appeal:

What's your purpose on RPUK?
- To join the best roleplaying community there is to offer, have fun along the way and engage with others in a positive way.

You were downed within roleplay, dumped within roleplay, then broke character saying "you're all shit roleplayers" and disconnected.
I think by this we have figured who isn't actually here for roleplay.

By how you acted, and logged out, did you disconnect out of anger at the time?
- I have answered this point on every appeal I have submitted and it keeps being mentioned again, yes there was part anger and also the issue with my puppy at the time, so it was a mix of both. I am here to roleplay, that was in the past and that is why I have been appealing, to hopefully be given another chance and prove that I have changed.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

Hello @Soarific ,

Can you please explain why you think we have these rules in place?

Can you tell us your understanding of the rules you have been banned for?

Hello @OneShot,

I believe the rules are in place for the benefit of the roleplaying community and server as a whole, to make the roleplay as authentic as possible, and obviously as I broke these rules the other members who were interacting with me didn't achieve the fullest roleplay experience due to my combat logging and being in character. Rules are in place for a reason and I am sorry I broke them, I have mentioned many times in previous appeals I know it was wrong but it has been over a year and wholeheartedly I'd just like to be given one last chance to show I am worthy of being a member of the Roleplay UK community.

I understand combat logging is seen as cheating and exploiting and again I am very sorry for what I have done. I did do as the previous staff member told me which was to go away for a month and get some experience on other servers which I did, I did have fun and didn't break any of their rules but ultimately they are not as fun as Roleplay UK and don't have a great community like Roleplay UK does.

Hello @Soarific ,

This isn't your first ban, you had a previous ban which was also a permanent ban,

You have broken this rule shortly after being unbanned,

Why do you think you deserve another chance after already been given that second chance?

Hi @OneShot,

You make a very valid point, why do I deserve yet another chance, how can you trust me to not break the rules and receive another perma ban. I can only ask for forgiveness and given the period of time that has passed since trying to make an appeal (I waited over a year to appeal again) I want to demonstrate that it will not happen again. I've learned to realise that gaming is only that, a game, and nothing should allow me to get worked up to such an extent where I curse, make racist remarks or rage quit from roleplay simply because I dislike what is happening. I can confidently say I would give Roleplay UK my 100% and be a valuable member in the community.

I honestly don't know what else to say to you to prove that I deserve another chance, I can only say with absolute confidence it would never happen again even though I was granted another chance a year ago, people can and do change and this is the last time you would ever see such an appeal from me. If I were to be unbanned you would not hear a peep from me or see my name cross the ban forum, I won't get banned, I won't break the rules and I trust myself to follow through with what I say. The choice is ultimately yours but all I can say is let me show you one final time I have changed.

Thanks

What have you been doing in the time you have been banned, did you take a step back from RP or did you try other servers?

Hello @OneShot,

For maybe half of the year or more I was absent from Roleplay UK and online games in general, I did play on some other servers and again the last month or so I did play on other RP servers as this was asked of me by another staff member who instructed me to go away for a month and get other RP experience which I done.

Hello @Soarific ,

Can you tell me a bit about your characters and storyline you had on these other servers?

Would you have any footage of any of these RP servers?

Hi @OneShot,

I have played on a few servers over the course of the month, mainly Vanity Network and United Gaming which tend to focus more on the serious RP side of things. I'm not too sure in what detail you would like me to explain but on Vanity Network I roleplayed as character who wanted to escape to the city from his previous life, I got a job at a local fast food chain where I became entangled with a criminal group, I became a drug runner on the side whilst trying to stay out of sight from the law and work my fast food job.

On one of them I was working long hours as a taxi driver to fuel my gambling addiction in the casino! I didn't break any of the server rules and did have fun but they are not on the same level as Roleplay UK, RPUK is more professional and has a lot more going on.

And no I do not record my gameplay so don't have any footage, sorry.
