Unban Appeal - Unban___Max_Ghost - GTA RP

[Unban___Max_Ghost]

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Max Ghost
Steam ID: 76561198053040900
Ban ID (just the numbers): 0000
Ban Reason: (C1.6) Community Ban - The Staff Team may remove any member from the servers and community at any time if they are considered disruptive to the community or we have a valid reason to believe they are here to cause issues. - Permanent Ban
Why do you think you were banned: At first, I received a ban for C2.2 (Exploiting), I was abusing an exploit that allowed me to duplicate money/items. This ban then escalated further and resulted in me receiving a C1.6 (Community Ban). This came as a result of the actions I took after receiving the original C2.2 ban, I grew very childish and acted completely out of pocket throwing my toys out of the pram. I was not only very rude and provocative to staff members who simply put did not deserve that kind of behaviour at all, but I then took this many steps further when I started to threaten the server’s economy by saying that I can duplicate infinite amounts of money and ruin the economy. To this day the way I acted sickens me and honestly looking back at it I can not even explain why I would have acted out in such way. I can only apologise for my actions and learn from them.
Why should we unban you: Hello again, I believe this is now my 5th time on the forums writing an unban appeal, I can only hope that the staff team finds it in themselves to yet again give me another chance to explain myself and hear me out as they have in the past. And for that, I would like to start by saying Thank You.

In this appeal, I want to be 100% honest and to my best recollection provide all the information on my ban and what led up to it, what happened during the ban, and also finally why I believe I should be given another chance to be a part of this community once again. As I have recently spoken with Bowen and he advised I make an appeal and be completely open and honest.

Since my original ban back in May 2021 I understand that I have been further banned for ban evading on multiple occasions, and I deeply regret my actions. I take full responsibility for what I have done and I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience or frustration my actions may have caused.

I understand that the ban evading is against the rules of the server, and I should have honored my original ban. and I know since then I have not proved myself to be any more trustworthy I have proved the complete opposite and completely justified your decisions which I understand.

And whilst it means nothing during the ban evade I genuinely followed all the rules and acted out as a regular player (I know this sounds stupid and means nothing as in reality I was breaking a rule the whole time...) But during my time ban evading, it was never out of malicious intent in hopes of ruining others enjoyment and being a nuisance, it was the opposite of that, and due to my love for the server and the want of being a part of the community once again. However, at the time my judgment was clouded by that fact, And I was not thinking clearly and made a mistake. I have since realized the gravity of my actions and I am eager to make amends.

I have been an avid player on the server prior to my original ban, and I truly enjoy being a part of the community. I have made many friends and have had a lot of fun playing with everyone. And just wish that, despite my past actions, I can be given a second chance.

I understand how my past actions paint me out to be nothing but a nuisance and a problem for the server and its health, but all those things said and spewed by me at that time were nothing but a childish outbursts of empty threats after I got caught red-handed. Around this time I was going through something in my life and being honest with you, RPUK was my escape from those things where I could shut myself out from the real world and have fun with the friends I have met and communities within I was a part of. Looking back at things now I guess that when I was caught and banned for duping and that escape was taken away by no ones fault but my own I always blamed myself to the point where I was trying to find any little scapegoat I can cling on to instead of accepting the consequences of my actions and dealing with the situation at hand.

I can only imagine the opinions of the staff that had to deal with me during that period are the lowest that can be and can blame anyone for that but myself, I understand the time and effort you guys put into the server for free to try to make it a fun space for people like myself to get away from the real world and have their fun and now truly understand just how someone like me can be an absolute for lack of a better word "prick" for doing what I have done.

Im genuinely not a bad person and quite the opposite always find myself being a positive friendly guy that tends to get along with everyone and believe me to this day my actions over that period anger me as it portrays nothing of the character that I really am. It has been over 4 years since my last ban and I know since then I have ban evaded and continued to break the rules, giving you guys no reason to even consider a second chance. But I can only hope that my words in this ban appeal can maybe change that decision.

In all honesty, as much as I would have loved to be a part of the community for the past 4 years instead of being banned I must admit that the ban did have a lot of positive effects on my life, Instead of running away to the server from the issues at hand I had to face them, and it was all for the good, Only positivity came out from that as I was finally able to tackle them and resolve them taking a positive effect on me. During my ban I was able to focus more on myself and life in general, getting a new job taking on more responsibilities, and all in general maturing as a human and letting go of past childish behaviors and actions I would exhibit from time to time.

I want it known that I did take my ban and previous unban note seriously, I really have tried to be a part of other communities ranging from serious RP to less serious RP just to get a feel of the other types of communities out there and from what I’ve seen all other communities I have tried are not comparable to RPUK, of course, they have their own merits and perks. But the complexity and intricacy of RPUK is something that is both undeniably respectable and admirable. I seriously wish for nothing more than to be given another chance to join this community back. The relationships, the opportunities, and the storylines are something that simply cannot be replicated. I was foolish to act in the way I did and take for granted the access I had. If I was ever given the chance again to rejoin this community, I can promise on anything I would never jeopardize my access to this server. Admittedly it was only after the first time I truly lost it I appreciated it more than ever.

Throughout my time on RPUK, I often made it a mission to dedicate myself to helping the growth and development of new players who came into the city and crossed my storyline. Most notably being members of The Firm and The Titans as both these groups were formed and began to emerge during my time on the server, I often found myself going out of my way to be a fresh-faced investor and inspiration to people trying new things in the city regardless of how experienced they were or what they could offer me. I felt as though being an initial source of energy/promotion in their RP could motivate them to progress their own RP and continue things out. Seeing the current state of the server as it is I notice the Titans are no longer active however the Firm is now solidifying itself well within the “organizations” realm. I like to think that without people like myself believing in these little ideas they wouldn’t have been able to flesh out into these juggernauts they are today. I know that if I was given another chance to be in the community I would continue such work and promote/believe in these small ideas because, at the end of the day, we never know with RP where they could end up in terms of what they can do for the entire community.

Part 2 (Exceeded character limit):

When I am asked why I would come back to this community especially after being told to find somewhere else I often think back to my time giving money away on the server. I was somewhat of a gambling addict and often made a lot of my money through the casino. From the quick money I earned in the casino I often saw the glow of people seeing quick money and from giving people said quick money I saw the impact it had on people’s RP journeys despite it being quick and somewhat frivolous to myself I could evidently see how people would often change and adjust their storylines in accordance with the money I had given them. This sort of character adjustment in alignment with RP changes is something I simply cannot and have failed time and time again to see in different servers. I truly want nothing more than to be in a community whereby RP actions such as giving someone a helping hand impacts the RP in the long run so obviously. I honestly can’t count the number of stories I have heard in my time being in the community which originated from myself impacting their RP from robberies to formations of businesses and gangs even to spreading fortune the way I did and making other people’s experiences better by offering a helping hand to the lowly mechanic just trying to make ends meet by running cars to the impound for £800.

Another reason why I believe I should be unbanned is that after looking at the current state of affairs in the server I can see how staff members may be skeptical about unbanning people who could potentially fuel ongoing feuds and create hostile environments. This sort of RP is not something that I would ever involve myself in, whilst in the community, I am unaware if people still remember who I used to be or what I did. But gang RP after the Lotus Gang was something I steered far clear of I prioritized making friends from all different walks of life and maintained a solo role agenda never involving myself in large scales wars/feuds just being a known character and offering help/advice where I could, instead of being a “fragger” something I’m certain the community does not need more of. I really hope that in writing this appeal the staff members that generously donate their time to the community notice that I simply wish nothing more than to impact stories through RP and not be a nuisance to the community.

Earlier in my appeal, I briefly explained my experiences within other communities after being informed that I had burnt bridges with this community. I genuinely speaking unthinkably sorry for my actions I would wish for nothing more than to mend bridges and rectify any and every single mistake I ever made. I was a good member of the community until the incident arose, I beg for nothing more than to be given an opportunity to apologize for my actions, my words, and my thoughts at the time I want nothing more than to be ready to rejoin this community and be the community member I had always been up until that point. I acted out and it was wrong I can only hold both my hands up and apologize.

I quite honestly do not see a reason to find some sort of long ways excuse for my actions I spoke out against a respectable staff member and said things I shouldn’t have said I was offensive; I was childish and moreover, I am remorseful for every single word I said that day and every action I took during that time period. I respect the staff of RPUK far too much to even try and give some sort of stupid reasoning behind it, all I can only say is I was in the wrong and it is something that I can wholeheartedly see and say was wrong for doing. I was out of pocket.

The question that arises regarding how I can be certain this sort of situation would never happen again. Please I implore every single staff member and community member who reads this appeal to believe me when I say I have seen the absolutely clear-cut undeniable errors of my ways. The impact this ban and burnt bridges have had on me personally is something I can never easily forget and I would never forget the impact of not being able to be within the community. This is something so severe I would honestly never ever make the mistake of finding myself in the same situation ever again. I see RPUK for the remarkable server it is I have tried other servers as I was instructed to and I saw the chaos that is out there for UK/EU FiveM servers, I see the RPUK staff for the heroism they commit in the sake of the community, constantly keeping the server updated keeping the community happy integrating themselves within the community to facilitate the RP and helping the community in terms of its newer members who are new to RP. I beg to resolve the issues I had in the past so I can begin to enjoy life on FiveM again. I could go to lengths about ways in which RPUK the server and the staff alike are lightyears ahead of other communities but I am not predisposed to dragging other servers or community moderators through any sort of negativities in order to aid my chances. Everyone deserves a level of respect, something that when I got banned, I decided not to show I will truly never make this fatal error again.

If I was ever given the chance at being unbanned, I would love to position myself back within the car scene through some extensive RP I found myself being in possession and in connection with people with very exclusive and rare vehicles. Which it meant that we could schedule and host car meets/car shows. Being at such events you can see people showing off their hard work in the form of a vehicle but also the people that turn up with starter vehicles RPing and making plans for themselves to someday join a somewhat club of rare car collectors. When making this appeal I thought about how I could work to mend the bridges that I stupidly burnt in my actions and if I was ever unbanned these sorts of events would be the things, I prioritize not because of the sentimental value it had to me, but also because of the good I truly I believe I can do within the community by focusing on such events.

If I was lucky enough and fortunate enough to be granted a conversation in this unban appeal and further to that an unban from the community. I would 3000% invest myself back into this server I want nothing more than to be engrossed with the community take the opportunity to form new friends and become the helping hand I know I can be. Even from an OOC standing point being within other servers, I want to pitch ideas to the developer team such as Car Football and other sporting events, IC I want to pitch ideas that I have given thought to and never seen before such as a Bingo game to maybe take over the Raffle meta I have seen going on.

Even beyond the character I know would be good for the city I have given so much thought to other character ideas such as a character that can’t help making a classroom problem out of every situation he is in for the RP, to being a medic within the NHS or a Police Constable in the Police Force. Being away from the server for over 3 years and using ideas I have tried in other communities I have so many ideas and goals I really really wish to try in RPUK. I once again beg the staff members of RPUK can accept my apology so that I can potentially be unbanned from the community to bring joy and zero absolutely no issues to this server ever again. I hope more than anything this unban appeal shows my seriousness and level of remorse for my transgression again I sincerely apologize to not only the community and the staff members but also to Stavik himself please, please find it in your heart to accept my apology and can we begin to mend bridges I am willing to do whatever it takes to re-join this community.

I appreciate the fact that due to this Appeal being a majority repeat of my previous failed attempt it may look like a lack of effort on my part, however, it is completely the opposite. That unban appeal genuinely took days to write as I wanted to include every little detail of my time on rpuk and any case I have going forward on why I should be unbanned. Due to that nature, there really isnt much more I can add as far as the truth and honesty goes for my case of why I should be unbanned which is why I decided to also include it in this current appeal. I really hope that this doesnt affect or sway your decisions in a negative way as the intentions are pure.

I promise to be a more responsible and respectful player in the future. I would be grateful for the opportunity to rejoin the server and show that I am committed to playing fairly and within the rules. I understand that regaining trust takes time and effort, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to prove myself as a trustworthy member of the community. Thank you for taking your time once again to hear me out.

I can see you have made a lot of effort in the appeal, Most I've seen in a long while in all honesty. Now you have mentioned you have changed and want to return however we must go with facts over "I believe enough time has passed and I should come back because X Y and Z).

You did a lot of things from Transferring items, Evading bans, Other things and finally cheating. These are a lot of issues and I will be honest with you there is to much risk involved for the community as a whole for us to allow you a chance to return.

I do understand this was back in 2021 and you may have changed from back then, However the decision will remain and the door will remain closed to yourself.

I will wish you all the best moving forward!

Denied.
