Unban Appeal for Don Berna
In-game Name: Rhys Rodriguez
Server: GTA RP
Steam ID: 76561198837410876
Ban ID: !!RPUK12216!!
Reason given for your ban: C 2.2, G2.9
In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: My account was banned as a result of a rule C2.2 and rule G2.9 infraction. These rules have been put in place to guarantee that RPUK maintains the highest level of RP. One of the most significant rules that the developers and team have implemented is Rule G2.9, in my opinion. It prohibits the exchange of goods, money, or property between characters. This wouldn't be an RP server if this restriction wasn't in place. It would merely be handled like a typical game, which it isn't. In order to uphold justice and provide every individual in the city equal opportunity, Rule C 2.2 was also put into place.
Why should we unban you ?: I want to start off by saying I did knowingly break the rules, for my own benefit. I have been absent in the city for a couple of months due to outside issues, and so Rhys' house was repossessed. I had a lot of things in the lost house which enabled me to engage in specific RP scenarios I couldn't be in if I didn't have them. As I lost the items when the house was lost, I came back to the city 10 days late to save the house. I was extremely frustrated as I knew I wouldn't be able to engage in the same old RP scenarios as before, without some of my old items.
Instead of working with Rhys to replace those items like I should have, I took a shortcut. I knew I had some old items, similar to the ones I lost, on a different character. I transferred those items across characters. This undermines everything RPUK stands for - RP. There was no RP. It was a shortcut, cheating and wrong. I have never been reported or even had to speak with staff before in the year I've been a member of the community. The only reason, and there is no excuse, is that I have been out of the city for a while and came back wanting to get straight back to where my character was and I couldn't. That's the only reason I can give, and its a pathetic one.
Since joining the RPUK community a year ago, I haven't ever received a report or run into any problems with the staff. I've got four characters. My initial character was Sergio Sanchez. Rhys is the next character - Using this character, I have given enjoyable RP to several groups of individuals in the community. Miguel, my third character, is in the process of being hired as a police officer. He is anticipating an interview after passing the application stage. My most recent person, Sergio Rodriguez, is awaiting interview as a solicitor. The reason I'm giving these examples is because I do know what the rules are and why they're in place, but I did knowingly break them and I do apologise.
As for my previous appeal, it was a bunch of half - truths strung together to create a lie. As I have never done anything like this before, I was simply embarrassed. There is still no excuse as to why I lied, and I also apologise for wasting staff time, but also to thank staff member 'Liam' for allowing me to appeal again.
Going forward, whichever way you deem fit, I can say I will never do anything to break any rule ever again. I have been a good member of the community until 2 days ago, and I promise I will return to being that good community member if allowed. Also, I welcome the deletion of my character Sergio Sanchez, the character with the items that can be transferred. I want staff and the community to believe I am genuinely sorry and if the deletion of Sergio Sanchez helps me with that claim, then so be it.
I appreciate whoever has took time to read through my appeal, and thank you.
