Character Name: TJ Goodson
Steam ID: 76561199116512133
Ban ID (just the numbers): 16739
Ban Reason: UNK (Fragging Mentality) & c1.6 Ban (Discord)
Why do you think you were banned: Hey there to whichever staff member/s is handling this appeal, hope you're doing well!
I received two bans, and the first one was labelled "UNK" It was actually for having a Frag Mentality and a noticeable drop in my roleplay standards. Basically, I was just logging in to fight and had a combat-focused mindset, whether it was during wars or daily fights with the police without adequate roleplay behind it. I totally understand why I got banned; looking back, my roleplay wasn't up to par and definitely didn't meet the expectations of the server and the community.
I then got hit with a second ban on Discord ban, not long after the original "UNK" ban. As far as I know, it was because I kept posting and spamming the Alliance video in the main RPUK Discord until I got kicked and banned from the server. Honestly, it was just me acting out of anger and being immature. At that time, I was confused about why I got the UNK ban and initially thought it was totally unfair, so I acted out of spite. Looking back now, I can see why the original ban happened, especially considering the mindset of me and the other F6 members back then.
Why should we unban you: I've been banned for almost 10 months now, and honestly, the main reason I want back in is that I really miss the server and the community. I want to reignite my passion for roleplay and explore new RP opportunities that I didn’t get to before. I've been part of this community for two years, since the start of 2023, playing consistently, but I think I just got burnt out and was going through a tough time. When I left Vagos at the start of 2024 to join Alliance, I thought it was a solid move for my RP journey and that it would lead to better experiences. At that time, Vagos was pretty inactive, with only a few members around, so I was looking for a new group to feel connected to again. A few months into being with Alliance, I noticed that not just me, but the whole group was shifting towards a fight-only mindset. I won’t lie, our RP was great at first, and we got a lot of praise from the community, but we ended up in too many conflicts with gangs like "Grove," "Cutlass," "Vagos," and "Aztecas." Plus, we often found ourselves in constant clashes with the police, leaning more towards a "shoot first, ask questions later" approach instead of trying to roleplay through situations, even simple ones like traffic stops.
I spent nearly a year with the Occult playing my original character "Barty Bigglebottom," and honestly, that was when my roleplay really hit its peak. I think it was all thanks to "Whiskey" and the entire Occult's passion at that time for roleplay, which really pushed my own ability to new heights. Being part of the Occult also meant getting a ton of recognition from both the staff team and the community, and I’d love to reach that level and standard of roleplay again if I was to be let back.
I think I should be unbanned regarding the c1.6 Discord because my actions were impulsive and petty, fuelled by my anger over the initial" UNK" ban. Looking back, I see that my behaviour was immature and not a true reflection of who I am. Normally, I keep my emotions in check, but in that moment, I let them take over, which got me banned. I truly get that this kind of behaviour isn’t acceptable in the RPUK community, and I genuinely apologize for what I did. Going forward, I’m committed to handling my emotions better so I can avoid any situations that might lead to another ban.
If I get the opportunity to come back, my top priority will be to elevate my roleplay back to the highest level. I want to make sure that every RP scenario I’m part of is fun for everyone and that I’m pushing my own roleplay skills as far as they can go. I’m also looking to dive back into the civilian and faction aspects of roleplay, whether that means re-joining the police or creating a new character for the NHS/G6 to explore those RP avenues again.
Over the past almost 10 months away from the server, as I mentioned in my other appeals, I've come to see this time as "A blessing in disguise." It has provided me with an opportunity to reflect on my past actions and recognize the extent of their impact during my time in the server. Additionally, this period has allowed me to address some personal challenges that I was unable to deal with while actively participating/playing in the server. I haven't really delved into any other RP servers as none really take my fancy as much as "RPUK" did mostly due to the community that this server has built over the many years whether that be from Arma or FiveM.
I really hope my efforts in this first part of the appeal doesn't go un-noticed. I'm here to answer any questions or concerns that whoever looks into this has for me regarding this ban and my situation. I’m looking forward to reaching a final decision about this ban, and I hope to hear back from a member of the staff team soon. Thanks for taking the time to read this and for your help!
All the best, TJ.
