Unban Appeal for TheScottishDuck 

In-game Name: Sam Jacobs

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198303403652

Ban ID: !!RPUK12406!!

Reason given for your ban: G3.1

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.: I was banned because I used OOC information to influence my characters roleplay.

Why should we unban you ?: I have been banned for the last month and since my last appeal have had a lot of time to think over the actions that lead myself to a permanent ban, now whilst this was my first ban I can appreciate the severity of my actions and understand the reason that a month cool down was given.

In the last month that I have been banned I have had time to reflect on my actions and my time on the server in general, over the year and a half that I have been in the community it has been extremely fun, I have made new friends and enjoyed my time roleplaying as a whole, now it is actions like the ones I took at the time that affect peoples experiences negatively and ruin their chance to have fun and share the same experience that I have, and for that I can only apologise deeply, I regret the decision that I took however hold my hands up and take full accountablity for my actions and understand completely the reasoning for my ban.

During the time that I have played on RPUK I have never recieved a ban, this one being my first and I want to state that if I were to be unbanned the type of behaviour you would see from me would be remaining completely with in the rules at all times, as I do not want to end up here again, not only for the reason of not being able to play RPUK but because of the guilt I would feel ruining another persons roleplaying experience. My aim over the time that I have played the server is to always provide high quality roleplay, to ensure that I and the other people around me are having fun, this is something that I want to return to and can ensure that it will be my priority.

I want to return to the person that I was before this ban the person that was remaining at a high standard of roleplay, across my characters. I understand that there was a serious lack of trust when I lied about my actions, and a overall decline in the standards that I was providing, something which I feel disappointed in and want to redeem myself, As I have let people around me down, including staff and my gang members.

Being part of a whitelisted faction is something that not many people get the chance to do, and is something that should not be taken lightly at all, I really enjoy my time in 229 and want to continue my criminals roleplay adventure and enjoy the interactions that I get along the way and make sure that the other people I am roleplaying with are having a good time aswell, as that is what the community is all about. This is something that I am very confident I can do as before this ban I have not received another, the month that I have been away from the server has given me my "mojo" back so to speak and I would be so grateful for an opportunity to right my wrongs and prove to staff and other members in the community that I can provide high level RP and that I will not let my standards slip again.

I feel what siren said on the last report had some truth to it, that I had let my standards of roleplay slip, and the month break from the server has allowed me to see how this was unfair on the others that I was roleplaying with, and has allowed me to take a step back and reflect on my actions, which again the warning for poor roleplay and the permanent ban were entirely my fault, I can assure you that If I were to be unbanned that my standards of roleplay and actions will return to the high quality that they were before and you will see no more of this type of behaviour from myself. I regret letting my standards slip entirely and this should have not happened, but with in the month that I have been banned, I have been playing other games however the most fun that I have had whilst playing games is on RPUK and I do not want to jeopardise my position in the community again.

Now moving onto when I was pulled by staff, again I can only apologise for attempting to lie about this situation and feel that it was because of the enjoyment I get from playing RPUK that I attempted to avoid being banned. Now the reason I have fun is because of the high level of roleplay and because everyone is accountable for their actions making the community a more fun environment, for me to try and go against this was stupid and I believe that anyone who breaks a rule like myself deserve some sort of punishment, Now I have taken time and reflected on this situation I want to say sorry for my actions, along with the disrespect of trying to cover up what I had done. This was not fair at all on the other people that I could have affected their roleplay, and it was not fair for myself to waste a staff members time that was giving me a chance, like stated previously the reason that people are able to have fun on the server is because of the strict rules that we have in place, and what I did could have potentially ruined someone elses roleplay, if actions like this were left unattended to the server would turn to ruin, and constant rulebreaks such as this would lead to a decline in the overall standard of the server, and reduce the amount of enjoyment people get from playing RPUK. This is a community that I want to add to not take away, and again I want to apologise for the actions that I took when I was banned.

Overall in the month that I have been away from the server I have regained my motivation to provide high quality levels of roleplay, and will up my standards and not let them slip to the point where I am receiving permanent bans again, I understand that I will be very hard for myself to regain trust but can assure you that this type of action/behaviour won't be seen from me again, I really do want to add to the community as its given me a great deal of enjoyment and feel that it's only right to allow other members of the community to experience the same thing. I regret my actions and wish for a chance to redeem myself entirely.

I was asked in my last unban appeal to quote the rule that I had broken and I want to go into more detail around this, as I want to show that I can and will learn from mistakes and this will not happen again.
(G3.1) OOC Information - Using out of character information to influence the course of roleplay is considered metagaming and punishable by a ban. This includes but is not limited to: Twitch Streams, forum information and Steam messages.

In regards to the reason that I was banned, I was watching a live stream and let this affect my characters roleplay, as my character would have never pulled into the location of the person streaming as my character knows nothing about this situation, clearly taking outside information in game, whilst this did not affect anyones roleplay at the time, there was a chance for this to happen, and regardless was still a rulebreak. Something that I hold my hands up for and apologise, I regret this decision massively and would love a shot at redeeming myself for this.

Thank you for taking the time to read, it's massively appreciated.

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

 
Hello @TheScottishDuck
It is good to see an honest appeal, i can tell that you've given your situation some real thought!
You're making a lot of promises but let's speak in actions, what are you doing to stop this type of behavior moving forward other than an revived intention to provide high-quality RP?

You also mention that you were watching a live stream, is this common for you? what do you think would be appropriate to do if while watching a stream you see your gang mates being attacked?

 
Firstly thanks for the quick response L1L

I know I made a mistake and to prevent myself doing anything stupid in the future I won't join streams while in the server and continue to focus on my rp instead of whats happening in discord.

Over the past month i have seen a few streams since i haven't been able to log on the server other than that i tend not to watch streams. Also if i was to be watching a stream and saw one of my gang members get shot i wouldn't react in anyway and let that rp scenario play out as i wouldn't know anything as my character. This includes that if i saw 229 getting attacked through ooc means i will either log on to a different character or not log on at all.

Very good! Now, another question, How much of your appeal, or wich parts where written or assisted by AI? @TheScottishDuck
Once you answered that question I would like you to write a fresh reply to the question ''Why should we unban you?''

 
I am confused, I have not used AI to write any part of my appeal.

I have had over a month of time to think and reflect on the actions that I took and have spent a large part of the last 2 weeks writing my appeal, adding more and more that I think of each time.

Now I understand that I have lied about this in the past and I am not going to go down the same path, I have learnt from the mistakes that I have made previously, and I have apologised for lying to Stuart when he spoke to me. Everything I have said in this appeal has been wrote by myself, I can assure you of that.

Whilst I have made mistakes in the past and have recieved a one month ban for I am not imprudent enough to make a rash decision and be dishonest for the second chance that I have been given. Similarly to last time this lead me to recieve a ban that was a month long, something I am not going to risk happening again.
 

Now I sincerely hope you can believe the fact that I have wrote this, spent a long amount of time writing this as the community does mean a lot to myself, and I am not going to risk my position in the community. I have had a great deal of time to reflect on the actions that I did and want nothing more to redeem myself.

However I did not use AI to write this appeal, I stated previously I have spent a long amount of time writing this appeal adding new paragraphs and sentences and this is nothing but genuine. Regrettably I lied in the first instance with Stuart and now I have to face the consequences of my actions and the mistrust that I have now caused for myself. Which is that the validity of this appeal I have wrote myself has been questioned and I am now asking for the trust I broke to be restored in myself.

But I can swear that this was not written nor were any parts edited or looked over by AI, this is simply myself writing an appeal for the community that I love being a part of and want to remain a part of, which is why there is so much detail and effort gone into the appeal.

I really hope that whilst I have caused a severe lack of trust in the past, that you can believe me here, I really do want to return and do not want to jeopardise a position that I appreciate and value.

Like it has been stated before Honesty is the best policy, and I am being completely and utterly truthful in everything that I have said. This is the way that I type when I apply myself to something important, which in this case my unban appeal is important to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal and reply.

 
Well thank you for the question.

Firstly I'd like to start of by returning to my Sam Jacobs character, this is my most promient character on the server and is known for being a member of the whitelisted gang 229, I think there is much more roleplay that this character can do, making new relationships and continuing his powerful and successful life. This is something that I will not be taking for granted and ensuring that all scenarios that I might enter with this character remain at High Qaulity levels of roleplay throughout. I will not be returning to the distasteful and improper roleplay that was being performed just before my ban.

Some ideas that I have for the character are:

- To make money through illcit means and creating large scale roleplay scenarios, such as weapon deals.

- Ensure that I have a cover story and attempt to find a job in the city of Los Santos providing Sam with a potential story in case the police start questioning his newly found riches.

- I will also be providing roleplay on this character, with other gangs/police/nhs. Roleplay is going to be my priority and ensuring that whilst I am playing the server whatever character that I choose to be/create will have the same attitude.

I recently decided to venture into the world of RPUK policing and have a character in the police force, I will be using this character to take a break from the criminal side of things and allow myself to appreciate all aspects that RPUK has to offer.

This will also allow me to feel refreshed and not be experiencing the same situations all the time, It will also give me a chance to come up with fresh new ideas, to keep the roleplay that I provide entertaining and unique.

I really do appreciate your response again, thank you for taking the time to read.

 
I appreciate the honesty in your appeal @TheScottishDuckyou admit to your wrongdoings whilst giving detailed and collected responses.
You're not known as a trouble maker and you have a history of great roleplay on the server, given these reasons, I'm happy to give you another chance!

Keep in mind that you will be under scrutiny for the next 6 months under FBS, it would be a shame to see you back in this part of the forum.
