Unban Appeal for Paul Abdeen 

In-game Name: Johnny Dick

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198202258652

Ban ID: !!rpuk15220!!

Reason given for your ban: C2.2

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned for emoting on a roof whilst in a gunfight - C2.2 - Exploting

Why should we unban you ?: I understand what I was banned for (C2.2 - Exploting) and how to prevent this from happening again by not emoting whatsoever in any combat situation, I think I should be unbanned because I have taken the time to reflect back on my actions and can see why it is against the rules since it gives an unfair advantage to anyone that may abuse this. I've also gone back and re-read through the rules to keep up to date and to make sure I don't end up here again. I hope you appreciate that I didn't know at the time, I thought I was roleplaying hiding behind a wall. In my time away I've took it upon myself to look through different clips and scenarios for a better understanding of what is considered exploiting and to further educate myself on the rules.

Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

 
Good evening @Paul Abdeen, I hope all is well! 🙂

I hope you appreciate that I didn't know at the time, I thought I was roleplaying hiding behind a wall.

Was this announcement not enough to alert you that doing so would receive a ban? 

 
Hi Dano,
Thank you for the reply

I believe context matters and in my scenario I wasn't using it to dodge bullets per say but can see how this could be interpreted as something similar. I wasn't aware of the alert you've supplied at the time but appreciate it as it clarifies you can't use an emote in a combat situation to gain an advantage. I'm all about making it a fair playing field for all players and Roleplaying to the best of my ability so would like to incorporate this knowledge if I were to be unbanned. At the time laying behind a wall seemed like Roleplay but obviously now I fully understand that created an unfair advantage as it allowed my character to be much lower thus shielding from any potential attacks. Without a Rule like this in place I can see how things could get out of hand and the lines of RP could quickly get blurred. This incident has definitely cleared it up not only for myself but other players if ever faced with the same situation, so at least a little positive has come from it.

 
Good afternoon @Paul Abdeen! 🙂

I thought I was roleplaying hiding behind a wall.
You stated in your initial reasoning that you were roleplaying hiding behind a wall, in your most recent response you have mentioned you were not doing this to dodge bullets.
Why else would you be hiding behind a wall in the manner you were?

Hello Danoo, 
Thanks for the response.

I briefly stood up for a moment but then quickly changed my mind and decided to get back into the same position. At that very moment I was shot at from a right corner peak so naturally i had no clue that person was there until it was to late. When I stood up again after being shot i chose not to go prone again as i clearly knew i was under fire. When you say to "dodge bullets" I get the picture of "The Matrix" and I was definitely not doing such. Although I do understand now once combat as started you can't use an emote.

 
Good morning @Paul Abdeen! 🙂

Personally, I don't believe this wasn't intentional - Especially after the announcement going out yet we're still seeing people emoting during gunfights.
If I were to see this announcement, there's not a chance I'd even be prone behind a wall before one. 

Exploiting can come with a maximum 6 month cooldown, I am going to be declining this appeal today and giving you a 3 month cooldown before you may re-appeal.
To make it clear, 03/05/2024 will be your next possibility. 

Declined
