Your In Game Nickname: Dusk the legally gayish UmbreonYour Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:37320763Which Server: East2Why you should be unbanned: I am not looking to be unbanned, per-say; I merely believe that my assigned ban amount did not fit under the standard system. I will admit that I did mass rdm, however I was banned 3 days for it instead of 1 day.Evidence of Innocence: While I am new to the server, and don't have much exposure to the in's and out's of punishment here, I believe I was punished with an unfair length of time on my ban. According to the extended rules: "-Mass RDM does not stack under any circumstance; 3 rdms=1 day ban even with 10 offences (An Administrator may use discretion to punish differently.)" And my offense was "Mass RDM ( 7x ) without staff online - Rek" - which should = a 1 day ban, unless an Administrator decided on a different punishment for me, which I don't believe since no staff was on, and I was banned by CONSOLE. That, or when staff is not online, punishment rules are different. If a 3 day ban is reasonable however, please explain what criteria it falls under, so that I may understand. Thank you. I am not innocent of rdm, but perhaps the assigned punishment.
@Rek will reply at his nearest convenience. However, just to clarify. If you RDM over 4 times, it's RDM (4+) which is a 5 day ban. Also, to clarify the "CONSOLE" part. If you are karma banned, you will receive a ban from CONSOLE. However, if a staff member sees you were RDMing without staff, your ban will be changed from the 1 hour CONSOLE ban to an RDM without staff online ban.
Alright, thank you for explaining this to me. So what is the difference between mass rdm (3+) and rdm (4+) ? wouldn't mass rdm just be (3)? Sorry for the complications. ^~^ ...Actually, I came on here to look for justified punishment. If the actual punishment is 5 days, I figure I deserve that, right?
Mass RDM (3) occurs when the player RDMs 3 times, and is only punished with a one day ban. Mass RDM (4+) is when the player goes on an absolute rampage and RDMs four or more people, which results in the higher 5 day ban. You were banned by Rek for RDMing without staff online, and I believe he misinterpreted our protocol, as you should have been banned for 5 days, as our protocol states, and I'm sorry about the minor mistake. For reference, here's the protocol for RDM without Staff Online: -RDM with No Staff Online Ban- RDM x1: 8 hour ban RDM x2: 16 hour ban RDM x3: 24 hour ban RDM 4+: 5 day ban
Hello KMN and thanks for appealing! First of I want to say your appeal will be granted due to my negligence. I want to apologize and say I take FULL responsibility for this. When I was being trained and someone said "Each RDM without staff is 8 hours long" I took it as no matter how many offenses the player had, it would stack. So in your case 7 offenses * 8 hours = 56 hours. I have since talked to an administrator about this: and have learned from my stupidity. I sincerely apologize and hope that this has not tarnished this wonderful server I represent or my status in anyone's eyes. Have an amazing day and I hope to play with you in the future! GRANTED!
