Unban Appeal - Amara Reum - GTA RP

[Amara Reum]

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Amara Reum
Steam ID: 76561198181100914
Ban ID (just the numbers): 19193
Ban Reason: C2.3
Why do you think you were banned: I believe I was banned because I disconnected shortly after going down. From the staff’s point of view, I understand it looked like I intentionally combat logged. I didn’t make anyone aware or try to explain the situation, and I see now why that came across as rule breaking.
Why should we unban you: I know the rules are there to keep roleplay fair and I should have respected that. Leaving in frustration was the wrong choice, and I take full responsibility for it. I should’ve stayed put or reached out to staff through ooc instead of logging out. I’ve had time to think about it and I don’t want to be the kind of player who gives up and leaves when things don’t go my way. I enjoy roleplaying here and I want to be part of this community long term. If I’m given another chance, I’ll make sure to handle these situations properly and show that I can respect the rules and the roleplay experience for everyone.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

If you enjoy playing here, why did you make the conscious decision to break a core rule?

I honestly don’t have a good excuse. I got frustrated after being run over and with no one around me, I just logged out. At the time I told myself it wasn’t a big deal because there wasn’t any RP going on, but I know now that was the wrong way to think. The truth is I messed up. I didn’t respect the rules and I shouldn’t have done it. I really enjoy playing here and I don’t want to lose that over one stupid decision I made in frustration. I’m sorry for breaking a core rule, and I just want another chance to show I can follow the rules and not let something like this happen again.

Hello @Amara Reum,

If you would find yourself frustrated about situations in the future how can we trust you to deal with the situations properly?

You claim you didn't respect the rules and should not have done this, but why is this exactly...
Can you explain what you did wrong in your own words and what effect it had on other players?

If I get frustrated again in the future, I’ll take a step back instead of just logging off. I’ll use ooc or reach out to staff if I feel stuck, or even just walk away from the game for a few minutes to cool down instead of breaking rules. I know now that logging out isn’t the answer and only makes things worse for everyone. What I did wrong was leaving the server after going down. That’s combat logging, plain and simple. Even though nobody was around me at the time, it still broke the flow of rp because I basically took away the chance for someone to find me, help me, or even interact with me at all. I understand now that even if it looks like nothing’s going on, there’s always the chance someone could’ve come across me. By logging out, I ruined that possibility. I let my frustration get in the way of respecting the server and the players, and that was selfish. I shouldn’t have done it, and I regret it.

Good morning @Amara Reum,

That sounds like a good plan of action for future situations.
Do you get frustrated more often when situations don't go your way?

Can you quote the rule(s) you have broken and explain them in your own words?

@Amara Reum Please respond timely or this appeal will time out.

1st question: No, not usually. I don’t get frustrated often and this was just one of those moments where I let it get the better of me. Normally I can handle things fine, but this time I made a bad call and logged out when I shouldn’t have. I know that can’t happen again, and I’ll make sure I deal with situations properly in the future.

2ndquestion: The rule I broke was the one against combat logging. Combat logging means leaving the server to avoid the outcome of a situation like being injured, arrested, or anything else in RP. In my own words, it’s basically cutting off roleplay by leaving instead of letting it play out. What I did was exactly that I went down after being run over and then I logged off instead of sticking around. Even though I thought nobody was nearby but it still broke the RP because it stopped anyone from having the chance to find me or interact with me. That’s why it’s such an important rule and why I know I was in the wrong.

Hello @Amara Reum,

Reading back on this I believe you know what you have done wrong and you've learned from this.
That being said I hope to believe it's a one-off for you and don't want to see you back on this section of the forums.

However due to this having been a permanent ban, any further rulebreaks be it big or small within 6 months will land you back here.

So do read up on the rules before you head out online here again!
