Why were you banned or warned?

Community Removal
"yea there was a staff vote made and it was decided that bc of all the drama youve been involved with and your continuing to cause problems despite being told not to and even banned - then banned again later on for more toxicity - that you would be community removed" -SuicideBlue

This roughly translates to drama and toxicity, at least that's what I believe. I'm not sure if "all the drama" is to be taken as a literal statement or if it was just for recent drama. Any of the staff still remaining from that time can let me know.

Why should you be unwarned/unbanned?

I want to start this appeal by saying I'm sorry to the people I've felt I went too far on, those who may have actually been hurt from what I've said or done. What I do on the server I do it with the mindset of "this is gonna be funny, maybe not to some but to me at least" if other people find it funny then that's a plus. I recognize that some of the things I've done to some people went farther then they should have. I've called some people some very bad things, things that I no longer believe to be true. For the sake of not causing any more drama, I feel its best not to name any names or talk about any specific situations, even if what happened is public info, it just seems for the best not to talk about it. I know who the people are who I've caused the most trouble for are, and I want to say I'm sorry for what I've said and done to you. I don't want to be this person who causes drama in the community, that's not what I want to be known for. I want to still be a little troll guy, but not in a way that's super toxic or gets personal.

I've done some changing as a person recently, I've taken a different mindset to how I approach situations and I am learning how to control myself. I want to prove to the new generation of players, staff, and the few old staff who stayed around that I have changed and I can be a good member of the community.

Some of the people I talked to when I said I was going to make this appeal asked me "Why would you want to play again?" Honestly, it's the people. I made most of my online friends on this server and we've been friends since. It's not even them, though, something about this server's playerbase manages to make fun out of anything, especially the new, 3 hours on Garry's Mod people who actually do roleplay shit. They always get a laugh out of me. I miss getting on at a random time and finding those rare gem moments, even if I'm not in them.

When I alted on an account named "jumbo josh" on the discord, initially it was just to lurk, but I just started typing like I usually would do, nothing toxic or drama creating, just chatting with anyone or saying what's on my mind. When it got found out, I got messaged by an old friend of mine, Jason. We talked for a bit, we caught up with each other, but then he asked me a really good question. Why alt now? After so long. Why not just forget about TitsRP. For me, it's just hard to forget about something you invested so much time in. 7 years of my life was spent with this server, with this community, it's hard to just move on from something you basically grew up with. I have a lot of good memories with this server and I see that I took it all for granted, I took all the chances I was given and threw them out the window, all for what? A laugh? To get the final hit? I don't even know anymore.

I did alt on the discord and on the server once, I understand these accounts will drastically lower my chances of getting an unban, but I just want to let the staff know I didn't make these accounts out of malice or intention to harm, I wanted to see how the server was since I left and I see it hasn't changed much.

If I do get unbanned, I want it to not be a regretful, I don't want it to be a mistake, I want to be able to provide value to this community, I want to show you all that I'm different, that I've changed. Even if it means I have to be watched over like a hawk. I really do mean everything I've said in this post, I truly am sorry to those I've personally affected and to the staff team for the grief I've caused you. I ask you give me this one last chance, I want to make it count.

Lol you alted literally this month and it got banned on the 4th. Bone it's been years since I saw you but you've lost my sympathy. -1 from me. 

[Mild Tsunami]

Based on what I have been told about the reasoning behind your community removal and the fact you alted recently I will have to -1.

Can you message me what they've told you the reasoning was?

What I was told was said in private and I cannot share as it would be considered leaking staff chat.

[Rubik]

What was the action that led to you being community removed? What changed between then and now that would prove to us that you aren’t into causing issues anymore? 
 

[Yahya]

Hey b0ne, hope you're doing great. 

I would first like to thank you for writing that appeal (33% human written which is basically human). 

I reviewed all the evidences and all the accusations that have led to your community removal.

And after further inspection I have taken the time to read your appeal. 

Honestly you do seem sincere and apologetic for your actions. It is good that you say you have changed and acknowledged your mistakes but I'd like you to tell us what you learned from them.

 

Now for the alt part, it is indeed kinda stupid and does not give a good look to your appeal, but you explained it yourself: you enjoyed the server so much that you had to alt 

 

 

 

On a serious note tho, I'm all for a second chance, we did not interact much only through League maybe and I don't recall you being that much of an asshole. And from what I can read about you, you were just being a silly goober, hope that you matured enough to have fun without being mingey now. 

 

I will be NEUTRAL for now until I see what other staff members say 

 

Best regards,

Yahya - Barbencher Slayer

a lot of -1, I wanna make sure I make the right decision

[AflictoGaming]

b3nz alted during her comm removal and we still let her back. Did he cause any problem when he alted or did he just hang out?

It would be great for the rest of us to know these reasons so we can excess this appeal better.

Until I know more for the removal since it seems there is more to it and until I see a response from b0ne to what Rubik and Yahya said I will remain NEUTRAL. 

 

After seeing what you have said said and what other staff have said i will say a +1. Please if you do get unbanned try to stay out of trouble and just hang out

I know I said I would avoid saying names and describing events to avoid more drama, but I guess it wouldn't be fair for any staff who don't have context about it. I'll say what I believe the reason for my removal was.

Before my removal, I posted a screenshot of two members of the server in a voice channel with a controversial ex-member, TSYulii, who was community removed a few months back for a situation with Pondering, who is also removed. In short, TSYulii sent explicit images to Pondering who I guess at the time told her he was 19, despite basically anyone who knew the guy he was 14 (Yulii is 23). There's most likely more to this story but this is all I can write from the top of my head and my past appeal about this same situation. I bring this up because I posted a screenshot of TSYulii with two other members captioned "friends with pedophile lol" in an attempt to vilify them. It was done without thinking twice or thinking at all, really. I wanted to get an own on someone and that was it. 

There was also this screenshot of a tweet of a member's personal twitter where they tweeted something I felt was just genuinely weird. Like the way it was worded was just strange and made what they were trying to say seem worse then what they meant. To that user, I'm sorry for showing that to everyone, and honestly I don't believe you deserved anything of what I did to you. You just wanted to buy my model and you got called things that weren't true.

Back then, around late 2022, I really don't know what happened to me. I just stopped caring about the consequences of my actions, I just did things regardless if they were against the rules or not. When I fucked around with people, I was a lot more toxic in how I approached things. Now, I feel I'm a lot less toxic. When I mess around on games like Tower Unite or Roblox, I play some sort of character and it manages to make at least one dude laugh. I've got a lot of things in my life to juggle through right now and the last thing I want to do is be in some dumb Garry's Mod drama. I just want to have fun the classic way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I may argue just a bit here, my bans list is completely fucked. I got a couple of duplicates in there, you can see it in your screenshot too. 

If you want to say appealed bans and votebans count, then sure, they count to my total. The main point is the number is way higher than it should be. There's a second number that is one shorter because one ban is technically the same reason but it was also an extension so it's just there in a world where it doesn't count. Warns aren't anything I'm going to argue, they're all valid warns AFAIK, just about half of them are old though. 

Are you trying to use my history as an argument, or are you just posting it to SAY I have a history. I'm really confused behind the intent of it.

[Rubik]

I posted your history to show that your ban was not an isolated incident and you had a long running history of bans and warns. Regardless, I think your response is genuine and you at least comprehend that the way you were acting was wrong.
 As with any other appeals, my vote carries the same weight as everyone else’s, however based on your response (assuming it’s not AI generated) & self-awareness, I’d be willing to support an unban with the understanding that if you continue to be toxic, you will be rebanned. 
 

Also, if you are unbanned reach out to me or an admin and we can clean up your ban history.
