Character Name: Dean Williams
Steam ID: 76561198006341646
Ban ID (just the numbers): RPUK21109
Ban Reason: C1.8/G1.7
Why do you think you were banned: I was banned for knowing that a banned community member was actively playing under a new alias/account on the server and not reporting it to staff and keeping it under wraps.
Why should we unban you: I would like to be upfront and honest, when I was first dragged into the ticket late last night I initially lied at the time. I knew I had made a mistake by allowing someone i knew was evading to continue playing, I was afraid of the consequences in being banned and tried to get out of it in a panic, once the lie started it kind of snowballed out of control to the point I just had to roll with the punches. I knew i was being banned from it, but seeing a small bit of light at the end of the tunnel I tried to just skirt around it and hide/delete the 5-6 messages from him regarding the ban evading. Its not an excuse or an attempt at justification - its the truth of what occurred.
I understand and fully take ownership of my actions that lead to my ban, allowing a member of the community ban evading to not only still play on the server but to also be in the same gang as me. I want to clarify that I was only made aware for a little over a week that he was ban evading, I was not aware of his previous character nor had any contact with him on that character. Even so, I do recognise and understand that once I was made aware of what he was doing, after a vague admission in a discord DM, that I should have taken it to staff and allowed them to deal with the situation - and distanced myself from it. However, in a lapse of judgement I did not and allowed it to slide until he was banned for other reasons.
Lying had only made things worse, and in hindsight I should of just owned up in the ticket.
I’ve been here for little over 10 years between arma and fivem and I do enjoy and care about the community, I’ve made some life long friends that have stemmed outside of the confines of Fivem and wish that I can be allowed to return to continue playing here as I do enjoy it, and dont want my time here to be cut short from a stupid mistake that I should of reported when I was made aware of it.
In future, any suspicions of any rule breaks of this nature, or any, will be reported through the correct channels and not be brushed aside - even if it is only a suspicion, I will still raise it and allow staff to deal with it
