Ban Reason: G1.5 / G2.12
Why do you think you were banned: Hello
To begin I would like to express my gratitude to whichever members of staff use their spare time to process this appeal. I believe I have been banned for displaying continuous low effort roleplay, and operating in grey areas taking advantage of certain game mechanics and other factors to benefit myself while avoiding roleplay with others. My current ban is a consequence of the continued behaviour displayed after receiving several warnings and a previous ban for low quality roleplay. Essentially I would log on at early morning hours, and continue to drill (at times) every safehouse on the server and look for gang safes that had been left open looking for some free loot and a bit of a thrill.
Why should we unban you: There is no doubt that my current ban is justified, and I have been given plenty of warnings and several chances to change the way I conduct myself on the server.
To give some context, I have been working a lot of night shifts lately and find myself with less spare time to dedicate to the community. However after finishing work usually around 4-5 AM I found myself needing to kill some time, and evidently found an activity I came to enjoy and indulge in frequently with the gang safe’s. My intentions behind this was never to target certain people, or to cause grief for other community members. Something I obviously ended up doing with my consistent terrorising of safehouses / open safe’s.
I have been banned for a few weeks now, and I have very much thought about my time within the community and how I decided to conduct myself in recent times, and it is blatant that my roleplay standard and effort to the server decreased at some point. This can be clearly seen as I racked up a lot of warnings / bans in a fairly short amount of time after playing without incident for many months.
I have come to realise in my own mind, there was no doubt I was suffering from some sort of burn out and I needed to take a break from the server and focus on other things. At the time I found myself unable to set these limitations for myself and instead went down a continued path of rulebreaks and poor quality roleplay instead as a way of dealing with it.
At the time I didn't give much thought or consideration to how other community members would experience my actions, but I can only imagine it was less than pleasant. The way I conducted myself was not done to create roleplay or good experiences for others which are some of the very key fundamentals to a good roleplay community.
I actually got banned on the very first day of my summer holiday, leaving me with more spare time over the last few weeks to do some self reflecting and to take some steps to ensure that if i was allowed to return i would do so with a new approach. Putting other community members' experience first, and to always ensure I display a high level of roleplay. I have also made an agreement with myself of sorts, that rather than allowing similar actions to occur in the future I need to show a higher level of self restraint and take some time away from the community when needed so I can return with a clear head, and function appropriately.
To end this appeal I would like to offer a sincere apology to whoever was affected by my actions and poor level of roleplay.
And a sign of gratitude to the staff team, which on several occasions attempted to guide and work with me to avoid ending up in this category of the forums.
