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

In-game ban was due to exploiting.
Community Ban i believe was generally due to causing a disruption within the community and overall disrespecting the admin team.

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

Play other random games with IRL friends. Studying Vet science, have a job with animals and look after/own my own border collie.

Why do you want to return ?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I left this server and didn't look back for a year. I swore i'd never appeal, and that was that. I even laughed at alot of members who did some real serious shit ( DDOSing, VPN, personal attacks.) and who then turned around and appealed 2 months later. RPUK has a distinct thing about it where every single member whose been banned here has want to return, the community players here are great, and despite the ruckus before, alot of rebels play here. I thought i was one for the whole Gunfight only rebel life, but im not. About 1 day into playing stuff like that i miss RP.
But I'll give it to RPUK, this server with stands some shit and comes out with more players everytime. I've witnessed the TI bomb hit the server and try to take it down, yet it stood through it. other gangs tried too. We ( the people i was associated with when banned ) even took a large amount of players, and an admin and left the server, some doing worse shit than others. Yet later on, 2 servers are packed again every night.
To start off my appeal, Im gonna list exactly what i did, i've heard perm appeals is a no bullshit zone, so i will give none.
1. Exploiting.
This was to be heavily disputed in my own opinion. I was seen third-personing through a wall during a HM. Do i know the third person glitch? Yes. Have i done it? Yes. This specific time i did it through a window of a DMT, as to " roleplay " i was looking through the window. ( The Small glass DMT window. ), this is because i knew for a fact our gang at the time was under heavy admin watch and was aware i was probably being spectated. None the less, if people see it as exploiting i understand.
2. Disruptive and here to cause trouble.
It started out with me disagreeing the way certain things were held within the community. I can't even remember much at the time, but alot of it was due to rebel life being slowly dwittled down. Both by members being banned, heavy rule enforcements and also lack of rebel updates/incentives. I began to try and change things myself and when told " no " by admins, i didn't listen. I pushed and pushed the Dev / Admin team to listen. Eventually after some time had passed i had gained the dislike of certain admins through the way i was doing it ( I'd say inpatient and with a disregard to the actual admin team themselves, Didn't care if they were working hard or if they were listening but taking things slow.). Which i understand, i acted shitty toward the admin team even though i was playing on their server for free. Not really sure why i got so mad if im honest. Its happened before and i generally don't understand myself.
In the end, after back and fourth disputes between me and certain admins, and arguements where i wouldn't listen, i looked to another place. I won't name it, The admin reading this will know the meme Community. I want to point out, that if you ain't already laughing at me putting in a dispute, i am already cringing at the fact we put in so much hate to go to another place which didn't even begin. Oh my days. I completely ridiculed RPUK in a chance to go play in a new place i thought was Arma 3 Heaven. Bet you all had a good laugh to be honest. I fucking would have. Ended up being a failure, and a laughing stock all in one.

And so i was banned for being a bit of a figurehead to the toxicity that ensued, and all the shit that happened. I caused a general disruption within the community overall, i understand that.
( My answers may be under the wrong titles of this unban, such as why do you want to return and why should we unban. apologies, its all a muddle. )

Why should we unban you ?

This is a tough one. I've been banned before, and so have already had a chance. I wanna make it clear though, after being unbanned and given a relatively good chance by Drew, i performed well. I want the admin reading this to understand i CAN Roleplay to a very high standard, and i CAN bring positive aspects to this community. Hell i was about to join Julie de cel's gang and was at the time one of the only applicants as i felt we always had very good roleplay together. ( Even during gunfight. A shocker to alot of arma players.) I feel like @Drew and @Julie Cel if they could, would of testified to me being able to roleplay very well. Maybe they dislike me for being an absolute moron last year, I don't know.

Secondly, i know i made a departure post during my ban. I cannot remember what i wrote. I cannot remember if it was hugely toxic, i personally don't believe it would have been as i rarely, if ever, have done that. Although this is like trying to heal a deep cut with a bandaid, i'd like to say this.
I DID not, at any point use a VPN, don't even know how to.
I have never bothered with joining the teamspeak, forums OR server since the ban. ( There may have been one exception to an account, i cannot remember. I vaguely remember trying to access the forum a while back to see the server activity. )
Alot of " Vladic stream " trolling happened during it. Never clipped it, spammed chat. watched it once, followed and left.
I am not a toxic person. Depending on what you decide to be toxic, i believe i am not. I have actually Defended Wilco against jokes and shit in bad taste on other teamspeaks way after this event and been called a " pussy " for it. Hahaha.

I have only talked shit against this community a few times. If you bring up the examples, ill already know what ones you'd show. Please don't. They aren't toxic, they aren't " offensive ", they're just me being fucking cringe.

What would i do if ever unbanned? Probably ask to join whatever gang Julie is in and come on once a while to have some roleplay memes. I do not talk to a single player from arma 3 anymore. I have one exception being Wade annibal with the odd steam message once in a blue moon. Going through my steamlist you will find some players who did real shit to this community, you'll also find i have nearly 200 friends. I am not the type of guy to clean friends lists. I ain't ever deleted anyone from steam. Still got 11 Pending sent requests, and 5 incoming. CBA.

This is an essay, as i write everything that comes to mind unfortunately, never been good at compressing posts. I would like to add i DID add some positive shit to the community SOMETIMES, with the RP and a few rebel suggestion posts that i made. Which devs even joined in during TS to help go through and fix. unfortunately what ensued was nothing but disrespect and trouble. I'm sorry for that, and if this is denied i will respect the decision and leave Arma 3 until a later date. maybe next year. If Approved i think you'll be very pleased with the new member you find unbanned and the RP brought forward.



Overall, to end this messy dispute. I was a cunt to specific people. I know that, I am very aware of how i treated some admins and shit on them through being a knobhead and a child. I literally disregarded opinions of admins and even argued back, on their own server. I don't know man. Its hard to even make a dispute without feeling guilty/laughable. Hope you can read this with seriousness, as i would like to generally play here again as a roleplayer. Im bringing no friends, not coming back to play with friends either. Ill be speaking to whoevers on it, new people. EDIT; Just found out Julie quit. RIP her i guess.

So what happened to "the boys" ... Why are you returning by yourself and not to play with anyone ? did you all have a tiff ?

Before i spend time actually reading this and considering it i want a reason why you want to return, from what i read it sounds like a tail between your legs sort of post with a hint of still thinking you was massively important at some point to this community (more so than the average member)

 

[Mickymouse123]

I want to return because this server is the only server on arma 3 that has consistently kept up it's RP. No other server Mixes RP / Combat well. As i said in the beginning, RPUK has the sort of "thing" about it, where it's RP/combat mix is original and no other server has managed to recreate. Which is why pretty much every single member whose left here has eventually returned or tried to.

I am not more important than any other member here. I am prepared to be denied in my appeal as what i did and said was just shitty to the admins/devs. In terms of me " feeling " more important, i was not. When i was banned i had a quick look at the forums. This server improved greatly without me and a tonne of updates to rebel life and the server itself were implemented. Without me, Which makes it pretty clear that i was not needed at all for it. I was just a member who spoke disrespectfully to certain admins/devs.

I don't know where " the boys " play anymore, or what they're plans are. If you wish to know what happened, we stayed hopeful for where we planned to go. It didn't happen, i laughed at it and left. Didn't play arma for a long time after that, bar with a few members who left here with me. ( 2 to be exact. ) Some were toxic, others branded me a *Snake* for disagreeing with how shitty they were being toward people of this community ( Like i said in the beginning, disagreed with alot of distasteful stuff ). Some removed me from friends lists. Only a handful i believe still have me added. Couldn't care much since im " snake " to them all, whatever that means. And no, i am not returning here because of that, i still have plenty of friends / places i could go to without them. They're just not as fun or enjoyable as RPUK.

Toward the tail between your legs comment.

It sort of is. I've seen multiple accounts here who left during our ban wave come back and make an appeal. Alot lie, others say they've " changed ", others talk about bullshit. I tried in my own way ( although it was lead very badly, was fueled by frustration and eventually became disrespectful/childish ) to help the rebel life, like all the other rebels. It ended up with a ban, and i deserved it. I didn't care because i hoped that the plan we all had would give me the same enjoyment as RPUK and it's community. It didn't, and within 2 weeks it all crumbled. I stopped playing Arma 3 because of being banned from RPUK and having no where fun to play. 

I believe the whole week of me causing problems was just due to frustration and anger and believing i meant a bit more than i was on RPUK. I can't not sound like i have a tail between my legs when it was just a really childish and stupid behavior. I'd like to say through admitting how much of an idiot i am, and coming back to make an appeal ( Despite being called a snake and laughed at by alot of people. ) that im doing the opposite. Honestly up to you to decide that, as all im bothered about is returning to play, rather than some peoples opinions.

After this appeal is resolved either way there is a specific someone within the staff team that i will also personally apologize to. We both became very heated at eachother from what i can remember and it was just not needed. I'll do it after its closed to ensure it isn't seen as affecting this appeal.

Once you've fully read everything i hope you can see where my POV is coming from. I Won't make excuses, there isn't any. Toward the last two days of the shitfest, Kieran Rhead also told me i would not be getting unbanned for the third person dispute because the server wanted me gone anyway. During those two days i lost hope of it and so just acted disrespectul and shitty toward the staff and community. Over the last few years i've cared about gaming a little tooo much, and became very quickly hot headed on games like arma 3. All i can do is apologize and answer any more questions you have.

The ban you have is a permanent ban without appeal but now and again in these forums I will entertain an appeal to see if we can successfully unban people and allow them to rejoin the community.

I think your being genuine here however I have the feeling that an unban will not be in the interest of the community nor of the staff team, Too much as happened and you displayed before what you can be like, I also believe while you did not spam the forum with disgusting things you didn't sit there all innocently like you make out, Maybe near the end but certainly not at the start while you was riding your created wave of drama that had no effect on us (they never do)

Actions do have consequences and you only have yourself to blame but hopefully its a less in life not how to act online and offline.
