Ban Reason: C1.1
Why do you think you were banned: I was banned due to putting an image on the in-game tv screen which contained a photo of someone face.
Why should we unban you: I'd like to start by apologizing for my actions that led to the ban. I never intended to bully or target anyone personally. I understand how the image I posted could be interpreted the wrong way, especially without context, but I want to clarify that my intent was never to mock or embarrass anyone. The image (Which wasn't created by me) but if I remember it was from around 3years ago when 2 gangs where at war and multiple images containing people was posted.
That said, I fully accept responsibility for posting it. Whether it was meant as a joke or part of a nostalgic moment, it was poor judgment on my part, and I should have known better, especially given how long I’ve been part of this community. I recognize that even if something seems harmless to me, it can be received differently by others, and I regret not thinking that through more carefully. I can understand how posting this in a garage with 5 people could look, only 2 would have known who said person was, I know this doesn't make it right but these people would have been around when the exchange of images was posted and all the drama that went on with not only the image I posted but others too. I was merely just showing pictures from back in the days and honestly didn't mean any harm to said people in the image.
I'm genuinely embarrassed by how I handled the situation. I wouldn't appreciate my own image being used in that way, and I now realize how that might have made others feel. That moment doesn’t reflect who I am or how I usually conduct myself in this community. Most people who know me know I do my best to avoid drama or issues, in-game or ooc. I’ve always cared a lot about this server, and I’ve tried to be a positive presence. Like anyone, I’ve had the occasional hiccup in judgment or dumb moment, but I’ve never acted with bad intentions.
I’ve been hesitant to appeal this, knowing the type of ban it is and the track record of similar cases. But I’m asking for a second chance because I do truly care about this community and would like to make things right. I understand the seriousness of the situation and would take extra care moving forward to avoid anything similar happening again. I honestly do try and double think everything I do and I really do hope that this doesn't paint me as a bad person over all the good things I have done in the community over the years.
I'd also like to add about another image I posted, this was of some messages in Discord, I know I wasn't banned for it but just for my own sake as I feel like it could have also contributed towards my actual ban. I know any images OOC posted in-game is border lining the rules to an extent, I guess you could say Discord messages is maybe a little bit more over the edge in-terms of metagaming, again I'm not sure if this was an issue but if given a second chance I would avoid posting Discord messages in-game especially of which have nothing to do with anything in-game.
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes
