Unban Appeal for SteveMartin
In-game Name: Steve Martin
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198321310245
Ban ID: !!rpuk5865!!
Reason given for your ban: C2.3
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned for C2.3 Combat logging, this is an exploit within a game where you log off or close the app in order to avoid RP.
Two months ago , I was in a shootout between two gangs. The Vagos… and the hustlers. The shootout lasted around 10 mins. After this , I collected two members of the at the time enemy gang and put them in one of there cars to be dumped in the ocean. I drove to the pier , where I took their photos for tweedle. I then decided to save time individually taking both people out of the car , to drive their car into the water with them inside , to rest at the ocean floor forever. I proceeded to drive the car into the water. At this point of course, the car began to sink , there was no door on my side (driver door) and when I attempted to exit the vehicle , it would not let me. So I closed my game on return I was out of the car in the water , I swam to the surface to catch my breath then my made my way back to the shootout.
As expected , I was reported for this , when asked for my comment I provided a screenshot of a crash message for earlier that day and tried to pass it off saying my game had crashed on that occasion while in the water at that exact time. As I type this I don’t know why I thought I would get away with it or why I thought anyone would believe me. Anyway this resulted in me receiving a permanent ban from RPUK.
The same day I posted an appeal on the forums , again I tried to use that gyazo of an old crash message from earlier that day. This again…. Did not work. Again , I don’t know why I thought this would work , I had read through some other appeals and knew at the time of my appeal the staff on RPUK are not born yesterday , so why I continued to try to pass this off , im not sure. That first appeal on the 4th of October as I see it , was my only chance to get back in within a few weeks. Due to my own immaturity, negligence and failure to own up for my own actions on my report AND appeal , my actions resulted in my appeal being denied and being told to try again in two months.
Why did I attempt to lie on my report and appeal? Im not sure at this stage , at the time I was hoping to get back on and play asap , I was hoping that the old crash message would be enough to get me back on. As mentioned previously , I now have no idea why I thought this would of worked. I also now realise that if I had taken responsibility for my actions and been truthful from the start then my ban may not have been permeant and my appeal may have been accepted , even though RPUK is just a game , its taught me a valuable lesson about life in general , a lesson that will stick with me forever. Always be truthful , lying only digs you a deeper hole and makes what could have been a quick and simple solution , a messy and difficult one.
Why should we unban you ?: In June/July of 2021 , I bought a new gaming pc as my last one would not of been capable of running FiveM to the specs I was looking for. I got my new PC and instantly downloaded FiveM. I opened FiveM for the first time and started looking for a good UK server to play on. I was looking for one with plenty jobs , custom cars , drugs and gangs. I came across RPUK , this was the first roleplay server I had played on in FiveM. I knew all the basic rules as a few years before I had played serious RP on Arma then Garrys Mod up until I started with FiveM. So learning how to play a serious RP server or learning a bunch of new rules was not an issue because. This allowed me to get straight into the fun. From when I joined the community in June/July of this year I had some great fun, I had a police character and a criminal one, so I got to experience pretty much everything from getting in shootouts as a criminal , so trying to fight crime as police , both of which I enjoyed very much. Fast forward to October and I find my self banned at no fault of anyone apart from myself. Ill be honest , after I got banned and my appeal declined ,I accepted what I had done and I accepted that maybe , it was time for me to move on. My thinking was all good things come to an end at some point and it was my time to go. So after my appeal was denied , I started playing a few other servers , none of them I enjoyed as much as RPUK , I became more and more frustrated as I continued to fail to find a server that suited me. As RPUK was all I knew on FiveM I was comparing every server I went into to RPUK , I enjoy the way RPUK works and and no other server I played gave me the same drive to want to play.
The last two months has gave me time to reflect on myself as a person and to think about wither I wanted to re-appeal my ban. After this time , I would like to ask for the chance to be allowed back onto the server.
I realise the impact rule breaking can have in general. Rules like RDM ect speak for them self in terms of the damaging effects that they have to the community. But I have truly realised over the time I have been away how destructive and annoying the rule I broke (C2.3 Combat logging) can be. Across multiple of the other servers I have played while away , I have encountered a huge amount of combat logging wither this has been during robberies or hostage sits ect… I have realised how much this effects gameplay.
I take full accountability for my actions back in October. I realise what my actions can cause, this time away has gave me time to look over the rules and really understand each rule for what they are.
Thank you for taking the time to read over my Unban appeal today.
