In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.

I was banned for being very homophobic and immature in chat for no reason other than I was being a fanboy of another community and at the time, for no reason at all decided I hated this community without even trying it. ((1.6) The Staff Team may ban 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. )

What have you been upto in the last 6 months+ ?

The past 6 months, I have been trying out different games and widening the genres I play. I haven't played much Arma as recently I haven't been enjoying it as there aren't many communities that are still big and growing. Also, most communities now have a very toxic player base (hypocrite for saying this) but I just don't like the player base on many servers currently. From what my friend told me this server has quite a clean player base. I have been preparing for my GCSE's coming in a few months. I haven't really been doing much to be quite honest.

Why do you want to return ?

I want to return as I feel like this is one of the only if not the only server that has a good player base that isn't just completely toxic. I have a friend that has started to play this server again and I was talking to him about it and he said that the server is actually really good and fun. It made me want to start playing Arma again as I've already spent 3345 hours on the game and have been looking for a different community to play in. Most of the other communities as i've already said are quite toxic as over the years new players come along and ruin different servers which is quite prominent in a server I used to play almost every day. I want a server where there is RolePlay but at the same time PvP and there is constant wars in the forum about whether there is too much of one or the other as that is what can ruin a community. I also want to meet new people and new friends on this server as well as actually giving it a try instead of being an immature child spamming the chat with homophobic slurs. I deeply apologize for what I did back in 2016 and hope you will accept this apology.

Why should we unban you ?

I believe I should be unbanned because I have changed and matured since the time I was banned back in October of 2016. Since then I have played other communities and games and have become less toxic and am against toxicity as there is just no need for it. I don't know why I did it in the first place because it's not like me to say things like that and I completely regret doing it. I can't change what happened but I can guarantee it won't happen again and I won't break rules on this server if I were to get unbanned. There isn't a solid reason I can give you to unban me because what I did was very wrong and I would understand if you don't forgive me and decide not to unban me. I'm just hoping to have a second chance and I hope you can forgive me for what I said back then.

My apologies, Matthew

@MatthewMaverick

The reason this one isn't toxic is because its an actual Roleplay server that created its own vision and theme from scratch, not one trying to be another game and having no rule over its players.

You are however going to need to explain your "fanboy" excuse a little further, Why would anyone join a server just to type silly stuff in chat because there a fanboy of a server elsewhere... seems a little strange if you ask me.

Yea I understand where you are coming from on that. I was 13 at the time and I thought the community I was part of was the best and the only good one out there. Obviously as ive became more mature and played more servers I figured that wasn't the case. At the time I did what I did, a few of my friends had been banned from here I believe at the time this server was named "ALUK" and the community I was part of already didn't like this one. I wasn't sure why but didn't care. I came on the server with a friend, he didnt do or force me to do anything, and I was toxic. I believe I did it mainly for the laughs I was getting off of my friend because at the time we thought it was funny but as a matter of fact it was just stupid and immature. I don't use being a fanboy of the other community as an excuse as what I did really has no excuse to it. I chose to say what I said but I thought it would be "cool" to come on to this server and be toxic as the community I was part of didn't like this server for some reason and would try to get some sly digs off at this server sometimes in admin chat. This wouldn't happen now and I wouldn't be so easily influenced by a few comments. I make sure to give things a chance and try it out before I say anything negative and if I am to say something negative it is constructive criticism rather than toxicity which others would use. 

Maybe fanboy wasn't the right word to use but it is what I was, that community back then was everything to me. I met some of the greatest people from it and in my opinion now looking back at it I believe i got myself banned to fit in with people in my gang at the time but the things the community said and the memes that they made to try and be funny and make this server look bad did have quite a large impression on how I thought of this server and its player base. Some of the memes showed screenshots of messages and some were taking the mick out of the admin which at the time and still to this day didn't necessarily find funny but more of a reason to have a negative attitude towards this server. I now and have for a while understand this server isn't what my old community painted it as and completely regret what I said. 

I'm not saying i'm not to blame and its only others who are. I am the one who typed it, chose what to say and did it. What I am trying to say is when you are around the ages 11-13/14 you are very impressionable by people who are older and more successful than you. In this case it was the admins/staff of the community I was part of and some of the people I surrounded myself with. In my opinion this had a huge impact on what I thought and believed as now i'm "older" and more mature I wouldn't think like that so easily or take in any information like that without anything from the opposing side. As I said earlier, I wouldn't be toxic in chat now anyways due to the fact that I've changed since then.

I don't just blame what I heard and saw on why I did it, obviously I typed it and no one made me or told me to and I thought of what to say and put it. I took my own time to go out of my way and type that in this server's side chat. This was something that I never had done before or thought of doing, it was out of the blue but ultimately came down to me. I understand if you wouldn't want to unban me for what I did but I hope you take into consideration what I have mentioned above. 

If you have anything else you would like to ask me feel free and once again my sincerest apologies. 

 
Even if that was the case (which it wasn't, the one you are referring to was created by banned members of this community who copied everything from our theme to our features) why would someone go and be an idiot elsewhere ?

This is a roleplay community unlike the one you are coming from, Hopefully youll treat this as a life lesson that actions have consequences, you decided back then to void any chance you had of experiencing real roleplay and being part of Roleplay.co.uk

You wasted our time and you wont get the chance to waste our time again with Arma or any other platform we move to in the future.
