Un-ban Appeal - Ellis Richardson (Awaiting Player)

[Ellis Richardson]

Dear Admins 

Ellis Richardson has opened an un-ban appeal

Your In-game name: Ellis Crumpet
Your Steam Profile ID: https://steamcommunity.com/id/Bluekiller678/
Your GUID or Steam ID: 76561198170420329
Date & Time you was banned:: 01/09/2015
Admin that banned you (Check ban message when you connect to the servers): No name is given when I try to join the server. This is what I got- http://prntscr.com/8bf80s
In your own words, Why do you think you was banned: Well basically what happened was I ran over to the garage in Athira and then saw that someone had posted in side chat asking are the houses half price. Now me not realising that it would be classed as advertising wrote in the side chat "no that's only in grand theft altis" then 10 seconds later it came up with the message saying that I had been banned. I was not aware of this rule in the first place and even if I was aware of it I wouldn't have thought that this would cause a ban ( I found out about this rule on teamspeak ).
Please copy and paste the rule you think you broke: 16A) Advertising your Altis Life server or Altis Life community on our servers/website/teamspeak or social media groups is bannable (Punishment is a permanent community ban without appeal)
Please give reasons why we should give you a final chance: I never break any of the rules and I never have planned to break any rules. I feel that maybe the system has gotten a bit muddled up as it believes that I was trying to advertise someone else's server. If you could unban me I would be grateful. Thanks
If your ban reason is "Forum Report - Date Here" then search the forums for your in-game name and that date and insert the URL below:

NOTE TO MEMBER, This unban appeal will be looked at in due course, Please note there are no timeframe's

@Ellis Richardson Brainless comment to make, especially about a server that goes out there way to copy then slate this one ?

Please explain why there was no common sense involved please ?

 

[Ellis Richardson]

I was using common sense, I was just helping someone out I didn't technically break any rules because I wasn't advertising

@jack1 We can read for ourselves, but it was a naming of another server, and said server is very hostile to us. We have a zero tollerence for them and advertising. 

You may have indirectly said the name of another community, but this in turn could cause them to go there. It's advertising none the less.... It's very well known here not to name other servers, not in PM's, forums, teamspeak, ingame, etc... It's also stated under rule 16A.

As I believe you play there (as you seem to know their promotions), why should we unban you?

 

[Ellis Richardson]

@Neo I have not broken a rule as I have not advertised. I would think that your admins would have some common sense of what advertising is

Link above can tell u what it is

 

[Neo]

By stating the name of another server, you are promoting it (with or without intent), as its referring to another server by name, that person could then go look it up for themselves.

Anyway, your reply has given me the common sense to say;

@Wilco @Neo what a dick

@Wilco @Neo what a dick

This just proves you don't deserve a place here.

You are spending more time trying to prove you are wrong, then actually apologizing.

Issuing ban on the forum account.
