Unban Appeal - Naes - GTA RP

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Sean Meechie
Steam ID: 76561198944896195
Ban ID (just the numbers): 18527
Ban Reason: C2.2 - Exploiting
Why do you think you were banned: I was, rightfully, banned for breaking rule C2.2, ruining others' roleplay experience, and breaking a fundamental server rule.
Why should we unban you: Good evening, I hope this message finds you well.

I know this isn’t the first time I’ve reached out in the hope of returning to the city, and I wholeheartedly understand why previous appeals have been denied. That being said, I’m writing today with full honesty, awareness, and a genuine desire to express how much I've grown and how ready I am to come back. Not just to play for my own benefit, but to contribute positively to the city in RPUK.

As established previously, breaking any rule is unacceptable. However, breaking rule C2.2, especially in this context, was highly irresponsible and devoid of any thought. I ruined other peoples’ fun, and broke the whole premise of the city: to have fun, engaging roleplay, which what I did, was the opposite of.

Over the time I’ve taken to re-evaluate my approach, I’ve come to appreciate the standards that the server upholds, as I mentioned in my previous appeal. At the time of say, my first appeal, I had not fully grasped the impact of my actions or the expectations of the community, but I’ve, since my last appeal and to this day, fully realize the expectations set for members of the community. The server is more than a place to have fun, it’s a community of actual people, all trying to share a good time, through consistent high-effort roleplay.

I’m not trying to make any excuses, as I mentioned previously, I’m fully aware that what I did was wrong. I do want to highlight that I miss the good time I shared in the city, and genuinely do wish to return and be better. I’m certain that I now possess the right maturity, responsibility and dedication to return and be a positive influence, whilst having a lot of fun, too, within the server rules.

In my last appeal, I understand that the staff didn’t regard my time away from the city as sufficient, and I respect that. With that in mind, I would like to try again now, given that it has been a good few months since my last appeal, and almost a year since my first.

Regardless of if this appeal is accepted or denied, I appreciate the consistent effort that has been put forth into replying to me multiple times, and the effort put into reviewing my case. I would really appreciate a chance to redeem myself.

I hope you have a great day. Any required follow-ups to this will be resolved on my half ASAP, but I can’t promise immediate responses.

Thank you for your time

Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

Well, I'm pleased to see more effort in this appeal than your previous attempts. I'm also glad that you have given yourself enough time away to actually have an outside view of your actions.

You mention that you've come to appreciate the standards our server upholds. In your opinion, how are you going to ensure, you can match those standards, if allowed back?

Hello C_Date, I hope you’re doing well.

Thanks for reaching out and giving me the chance to respond. Of course, if I am allowed back on the server, I’ll be putting every effort into being a positive influence. As mentioned previously, I’ve had the time away to re-evaluate.

My focus moving forward, will be to engage in high-quality roleplay that preserves the integrity of BOTH server and players. I do, genuinely, want to contribute positively to the community and create enjoyable, immersive interactions for everyone involved. I’m aware of how important it is to take accountability for my actions both in-character out out of it, and I’m ready to do so, and improve from previous incidents, given my new approach, understanding of rules, and awareness of others' experience.

Most importantly, I want to strive towards the shared, group experience of RP, and I want to prove that I can be someone who can be engaged and committed to the shared experience.

Thank you for your time and effort.

This is something we hear an awful lot in unban appeals.

Give me some examples of ideas of the stories you'd like to weave on the server. I'm not looking for "id like to sell drugs and explore my criminal behaviour". Thats bland, I want some creativity

Good evening, I hope this message finds you well.

It saddens me that I was incapable of creating a unique and/or satisfactory response, I'll try to do better with that in future responses.

You mention, "criminal behaviour and selling drugs" to be bland, which sort of sounds like what my plan is, but mine, I hope, is a lot more complex. I actually have a roadmap of my plans for the server, starting with creating an armour business, planning on becoming a crucial part in the server economy. I've put a lot of deep-thought and general planning into this, which I hope, is a testament to my dedication to being serious about RP, and just how committed I am to it.

With this business, I will ensure that customers, partners and enemies alike, all receive the highest quality of Roleplay from any associates and I, without any issues. I do plan on climbing the ladder in this, and taking it far.

I've been planning this for some time now, but I'm keeping my RP avenues open in-case a Plan B is necessary. I'd be very interested in reforming a gang/forming a new one, as I have done this before, and am familiar with how the RP works out. All that to say, this is not my only option, essentially. I do have other plans.

Even whilst I've been outside of the city, as the plan suggests, I've been thinking about a hypothetical return a lot, if given the chance, and how I can improve from last time. I do hope that the insight on my plan provides some in-depth or interesting perception of my potential return, and how I would go about it. I am taking this seriously, and I hope I have conveyed that a little better, unlike my last response.

Thank you for the time and effort put into replying thus far!

I'm offering you a one time Golden opportunity. Because of the effort you've put into this appeal, and the fact that I feel you've actually had a think about your future on this server.

I will unban the account, but with the stipulation of, if you are caught acting in a ridiculous manner, such as when you were banned, again. A new ban will be placed, and it will be unappealable.

This is atop the standard 6 month probationary period of the FBS, where if you catch a ban you are placed back on to a permanent ban.

Don't throw away this chance.
