[Approved] gamefreak171's ban appeal - june 26, 2011 10:06 PM

[ursus]

I'm going to do this again. It's a bit late. This probably sounds stupid.

Some of you may say it wasn't long enough, but it felt right to me.

I'm not going to demand anything, I won't argue with anyone, and for the sake of my sanity, I'll try to not reply to the thread until a decision is reached.

There's only a couple of things I want to ask:

Please don't turn this into a shitstorm. If you want to -1 this because you can, or because you think I don't deserve it, I won't stop you. But don't shit post, please.

The other thing I'm asking is to be unbanned, but that takes a paragraph or two.

Forgive me if I over-explain or over-exaggerate points, because I have the feeling that I will.



For those of you who don't know, let me tell you a story.

I received a free scriptenforcer bypass from a friend, and for whatever reason decided to use it. Minic had mercy on my soul, and gave me a 3 day ban.

On the day before the ban was over, I was on an alternate account, and joined the servers with the bypass active. In another bout of stupidity, I decided to bypass the ban. Someone complained, Ruben saw the matching IP's, and I received a permaban. The end.

I'm not going to go into detail, because that makes everyone more likely to question details.

Even though it's self-evident, let me say some things:

I do not believe that my actions were justified.

I think the permaban was justified, but that's why this is called an appeal.

Unless you post something unbelievably false, I'm not going to attempt to defend my position any more than is necessary.

I'm not asking for a clean slate, I'm not asking to be forgiven completely, I'm only asking for a second chance to prove that I've changed in the last few months. To be able to play with everyone in TTT is all I want right now. I don't feel like a complete part of the community when I can't be a part of what it revolves around.

I previously thought that I would just leave RND, but I have too many memories rooted in the community (inb4 "nigga you gay").

My steam ID is STEAM_0:1:18619921.

If you manage to think of something that I left out here, PM me and I'll add it.

I changed my mind, I'm not going to write much.

I'm sorry for everything.

Honestly, it was a mistake. Thats it. We all make them.

I trust Gamefreak immensely, so much so that I have given full access to my servers. I know he won't go around and fuck shit up, I know he'll tell me if he does something.

As he said, his actions weren't justified, which tells me he obviously won't do it again.

  to appeal.

[Supertoaster]

  he's learned his lesson, Deserves to be unbanned!

[Sabb]

 
I don't want to get into a huge discussion over it, but yea.
I think he'll be fine unbanned.

hmm... I think you gave up your chance after u tried to cheat twice

could see it different but snivy says it was a mistake... i wanna say its not because if it was a mistake you wouldnt have done it twice

By mistake, I mean he shouldn't have done it anyways, and he knows he shouldn't have. Theres nothing he can really do now, since he can't change the past.

He just wants a second chance. During his ban, Gamefreaks been active on the forums the entire time, and never showed signs that he was "mad". He kept his cool, and waited it out.

But I can't change your opinion of him, that's your decision to make.

[Moo]

but u say second chance, he got his second chance :/

[Deacon]

After what i have experienced,
I'm inclined to say no.

But after watching xexxar come back...
fair is fair.

he knows damn well what he did wrong.
And we will be watching.
And he knows that.

That being said, bring him back.
Worst case scenario, its just another ban

What Deacon said, and also, he HAS been active on the forum and has shown no sign of being mad or anything like that. I never even realized he was banned (or thought about it) untill someone has posted something about him being banned. Although I have heard about him doing some bad things, he WILL be watched, if he does something again, no more chances. 

+1 I guess

[Prox]

Why do people think that there can be only two chances?
Oh please, we all make much more mistakes in life and at some cases, we need much more then one chance to redeem ourselves.
We don't get kicked out of school when we make a same mistake twice do we? Like cheating on a test, not doing your homework
or making grammar and calculation mistakes.
After all, gamefreak is not adult and I'm sure he'll make more mistakes later, but this is normal because he
is still young, I mean even adults makes mistakes. And some of those mistakes are much worse.

But lets focus on your appeal, gamefreak.
Since I what I have said, I'm not going to -1 because I would contradict myself.
 
 

[Dale Feles]

Honestly, a +/- 0 from me

Gamefreak, you are a wonderful person, and even though I haven't played that much with you, I think you are nice, funny, and overall a nice person.

But, I don't like the fact you decided to bypass the ban. You could of waited another day, and all of this would of been avoided. You were very lucky Minic banned you for simply 3 days. It could of been way worse. Like I stated before, it's simply 3 days. I just can't really have full trust in you anymore.

[Ἆxule]

Support. Everyone's basically summed it up.
But I can understand where Gamefreak is coming from.
I was in a situation almost exactly like this with Deacon

Good Luck Gamefreak, I really hope you get this appeal approved.

[Don]

Definitely  - gamefreak is/was/would be very active and has always been a great friend to me.
I do believe he fully learnt his lesson from his long ban and I am very sure that he won't do shit like this again.

[Peetah]

Yes, have mercy on this nigga.
Hes apart of the brotherhood.
