Unban Appeal - Tirus Johnson - GTA RP

[Tirus Johnson]

Server: GTA RP
Character Name: Tirus Johnson
Steam ID: 76561198984007498
Ban ID (just the numbers): 15174
Ban Reason: C1.3 OOC Abuse,C1.2 Discrimination, G1.2 Random Death Match (RDM), G2.3 Roleplay everything,G4.5 New Life Rule (Roleplay Injuries)
Why do you think you were banned: I was banned due to being highly toxic, using derogatory language, failing to comply with the RP all injuries after I was injured, and talking OOC in game.
Why should we unban you: Good day/night to whomever (hoping to get forwarded to Drex and officer Simon Macmillian and fellow officers) is reading and taking their time out of their day/night to read this apology. I understand there is 100% more efficient or more beneficial things you could be doing with your time. Instead of reading this apology and correcting my behavior from an in-game and out-of-game situation that I have triggered, I see your time being more precious than even my own, and I hope all is well both mentally and physically in game and IRL before I even fathom to begin an appeal I would like to firstly like to formally apologize to Drex and Simon MacMillian (and fellow officers) for my toxic behavior in discord and as well as wasting other staffs time from writing an RP appeal (talkin like my character in an appeal) genuinely speaking if present me could go back and undo all the wrong things I've done in life I wouldn't understand or begin to even think of how to come up with an apology for my wrongdoings. In person, I'm genuinely the nicest dude you could ever meet, and I'm here to prove to you, I have reformed my memory is slightly dodgy of the events that occurred, but I will try to address all of them and will try to hyper-fixate on any information that needs to be addressed if questioned but just a priority first would genuinely apologize to Drex, Simon MacMillian (and fellow officers), the RPUK staff team and the fellow officers who were negatively effected by my RP and out of game conversation I would genuinely rather say I am truly apologetic, and embarrassed for what I have said in game and out of game rather than to even appeal I genuinely would rather apologize to the individuals that were effected then to get an accepting appeal.

I am honestly not a toxic person at all during this time i was financially unstable and under a lot of stress and should have never even of logged in the day of banning let alone even weeks prior and now with a more rounded outlook on life I am here to firstly apologize to all of those I have effected with my poor decision-making during this time and would rather have a genuine apology over an appeal. I am human. I make mistakes but learning from these mistakes makes the individual (myself) a better man. I held off on appealing just for the simple reason my IRL life was quite busy and didn't have access to the internet for a few months, as well as a fear of getting doxxed by an individual in a group I was in at that time and was removed and needed to align things out to even properly conduct an appeal, let alone this apology, rather than rushing back with an unprepared mentality and mistyping and not giving a thorough apology. I also thought i would never even be able to appeal/apologize again due to IRL circumstances, but god is good to even bless me to be able to type this apology. I currently do not have an appeal or anything else to actually say I could go into the appeal, but I'm not typing this for the appeal. I could link all 4 other of my appeals type the rules I have broken to explain why I should be un-banned, but at this point I'd rather be straight up and be remorseful for what I have done because, me as a person, I'm too nice. I would rather apologize, apologize and get forgiven before I even fathom an appeal, because I did say some disrespectful things to Drex that were super immature and uncalled for, as well as wasting the RPUKs staff time as well as ruining officer Drex, Simon MacMillians, and fellow officers' immersion just because mine was and that just wasn't fair. So, before I even fathomed writing an appeal, I'd rather give this apology to all of those that I have affected and the time I have consumed before even engaging into an appeal process.

Edit: my apologies about the confusion as well from a usa standpoint I was thinkin this was a 9/11/2025 as September but forgot this is EU and you go by Day/Month/Year
Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

Good afternoon @Tirus Johnson

I hope all has been well?

You have caught my interest so I won't close this down and give you the chance to explain your actions.

Can you explain the reason behind some of these comments?
"Keep abusing powers"
"Fuck your qe"
"All you do is abuse powers"
"No wonder people ae quitting this shitty server"
"I hope you get pussy on your dick"

These are some of the comments that was made by yourself.

Good night/morning/evening @Jessie Bennett being on the opposite side of the world def makes it a bit confusing, so I apologize lol.

All has been good and I hope you have been doing even better!

I first wanted to apologize for replying so late. I just got off work, and I appreciate you allowing me to explain my actions with no cooldown. I really did get confused by the dd/mm/year format of our version of mm/dd/year, and I appreciate your time reviewing this post with your free time!

Yes, I did type these things, splashing out straight-up nonsense and legit was rage-baiting for no reason what so ever whenever staff had nothing to do with the situation that I was in at the time. There are rules for a reason, so things are not being spewed out of pure nonsense like I was doing during this time and I completely understand why I was on such a long cooldown. I am genuinely embarrassed by these phrases I was stating, and I will say I apologize to not only Simon Macmillian and Drex, but the whole RPUK staff team. What you all do for the community and the events you conduct for the squad is absolutely amazing. I have, in my cooldown tried a few different servers when I got my Internet back up and nothing slaps like RPUK though so I did reframe from RPing for my duration to have a clear mind of what true RP is. I will admit that I did say these things just to rage bait during the time rather than taking appropriate actions and speaking like an adult, that would have cleared my name and, honestly, some of the comments mentioned above could have been better to have been said in the RP scenario rather than trying to rage bait staff members and I do wholeheartedly apologize to all for my immature behavior and is never worth repeating. Not one staff member I ever encountered during RP ever abused their powers and people definitely are not leaving the amazing community you have built and are not quitting such a thriving server, but I could have definitely said in game to some officers in RP to get some before I took a bullet to the cranium lol. I do sincerely apologize to the RPUK staff team, Drex, Simon Macmillian, and fellow officers that were on scene.

Good afternoon @Tirus Johnson

Firstly I would like to express how sorry I am at the time it has taken for me to get back to you, I will be completely honest in what has happened and in return I hope you will be honest with me for the rest of the appeal. I saw your response at a late time and thought "I will reply when I get some sleep" That then turned in to "I will get to it tomorrow" I blinked and sudden this much time has done by. Again I am very sorry and I will not hold it against you if you take a few days to think of your next reply.

Yes, I did type these things, splashing out straight-up nonsense and legit was rage-baiting for no reason

I appreciate your honesty.

I will admit that I did say these things just to rage bait during the time rather than taking appropriate actions and speaking like an adult

Why did this happen?

If you believe a staff member is abusing their powers/ position do you know the route to go down?

Good afternoon to you as well @Jessie Bennett !

You're 100% good. There is no need to apologize. We all deserve some downtime as well in our free time and I completely understand, especially after working 110+ hours these past 2 weeks lol I'm cooked luckily enough today is my day off, it definitely feels nice to get some rest and kick your feet up for a lil bit, so thank you again for your time! I hope you're having a great weekend and some good rest!

You're very welcome. I'd rather be honest then to dig a hole deeper than it already is!

If my memory serves me correctly, I felt as if I was RDM'd and had no time to RP the scene I was initiated with, so I ended up rage-baiting and being super immature and speaking OOC just to get out of the situation completely on the next scene I was dealt with at the hospital where I was banned if i recall correctly, rather than going with the flow. Having a hiatus from the server definitely gave me clarity on if you can't do the time don't do the crime. Everybody deserves Grade A RP and I failed that during this time and now I understand how to take appropriate actions to not only cover ones self but the whole community.

Yes, Ma'am, I believe this would be under C6.9 & C6.5, I would assume we should report or open a ticket or both depending on the nature of the situation. Even in a more sensitive case, would a ticket be more appropriate? In all honesty, though I will say that I have never seen an admin abuse powers/position in my time RPing on the server and will say the right actions were justified in this situation, I was being super immature and the instigator at the time and this was part of the rage-baiting that I was instigating. I really do apologize for the immaturity and the time invested on the staff team that has been consumed in your free time over a situation I initiated.

Hello again @Tirus Johnson

especially after working 110+ hours these past 2 weeks

HOW?!

If you were given another chance on the server would would do differently?

How can we trust this won't happen again?

I would like to touch on something that happened after your ban, can you explain your attitude after your ban? If you need help remembering you made a revenge reporting stating that if you are getting banned then you will report others, creating drama in groups and even dming staff after being being timed out.

Hello @Jessie Bennett, hope you are having a good day and staying warm out here! One man's call off is another man's O.T lol. We were/are all sorts of short-staffed. On top of that, I too was pulling doubles b2b non-stop I'm trying to beat my one co-worker's record at 167 hrs, but idk he built different for real lmao.

If I was given another chance on the server, I would definitely learn to go with the flow, win, lose or draw and not be toxic towards others that had nothing to do with a prior situation, always ask for a liaison and see what a more experienced RP'er would be doing in that type of situation. I barely have time and would only RP with a fresh, clear mindset. We are here to have fun and I did the total opposite of this during this altercation and I do apologize from the PD to staff and to the people that I was riding with. It was just uncalled-for and immature. Looking back at it, I completely understand and can reflect on why I was banned. Nobody wants to be apart of that type of toxic rage-baiting behavior.

Yes, Ma'am, and also in previous appeals. If I recall correctly, I did state no. These were not revenge reports, but with the time away, I will admit it was, and growing up, I was always told to do unto others, as others would to you, and in this case, I was just instigating and not even raising any type of awareness. Instead, I was being immature and selfish as well as taken, in game circumstances, into discord which has nothing to do with the given situation besides rage-baiting and digging myself an even deeper hole than I was already in. Even deep diving even further now, with that being said, if a patron is being disorderly and too inebriated, they get an 8-hour ban and come back starting problems. They're going to get a month -long or even permanent ban and even calling PD irl depending on the severity, which is exactly what I did, coming back for seconds rather than holding my L, and instead I was trying to get the last word in rather than facing my consequences, which led me to apologize for my selfish, immature behavior and making these appeals. I once again want to apologize to everyone for my immature behavior and do not condone any of the past version of myself action in any way.

Thank you again for taking time out of your day in your free time to read my apology and appeal and hope you have a great rest of your day/week and an even better weekend!
