Why were you banned or warned?

6 months- exploiting

Why should you be unwarned/unbanned?

i did not inject exploits into garrys mod, i was simply found within the RDM zone on my CC spawning props and ents in the vicinty of the rdm zone. 6 Months for entering RDM zone on a cc is unusual punishment. The great majority of props (the entire "base" that wasnt technically a base) including the keypad and fading doors weren't mine and yet the person that did have the great majority is entirely unpunished. The entitles were accessible and even "raided" by a Trial Moderator who adverted "RDM Zone Raid".

According to Rule 4.2 on exploiting, punishment is typically reserved for intentional use of game-breaking bugs or third-party tools. I do not believe I harmed the vital function of the game nor server.
I was in the RDM zone, but I was not using any external software or known exploits. I was spawning props and ents, yes, but not in a way intended to harm server stability or gain.
The player who built the entire setup is completely unpunished as of 11:06 am 6/6/2025 CST 
Rule 1.10 – Exploiting:
“Any intentional abuse of bugs, glitches, or unapproved scripts to gain an advantage or harm the server will result in a lengthy ban.”
I did not harm the servers performance, I did not use any program to inject scripts, I gained no advantage from this (my entities were accessible and even destroyed by another player who adverted "RDM zone raid".)
Proper Punishment Times and Reasons: Exploiting typically warrants a 6-month ban. It is established that this is generally reserved for actions that cause significant disruption or harm to the server. I did not make an attempt to crash nor cause significant harm or disruption. 
The fading doors and keypads and majority of props (the wall extending to the fading door) were NOT OWNED by me, putting me at as fair of an advantage as someone who entered the rdm zone from the portal in terms of accessibility.

Hello.
You exploited into RDM zone with printers with someone else who has shared your punishment.
You had printers in there, and had based in there with the intent to stay there, as well as having been there for a while.
A first time offense for an Exploit is 6 months, this wasn't just like a prop glitch into someones base, this was explotiing with Malicious Intent.

-1 for Unban

If Fellow staff require clips/logs/evidence I would LOVE To provide it.

Rule 1.10 – Exploiting: This rule pertains to the intentional abuse of bugs, glitches, or unapproved scripts to gain an advantage or harm the server. I did not engage in any of these activities.
My entities were accessible and even raided by a group of people including a trial mod who adverted "RDM zone raid"

 Yes. I had printers.  The TitsRP rules do not specifically define basing however, The fading doors and keypads were not owned by me aswell as the wall connecting to the fading door, the printers in the printer rack were not exclusive to only my printers, the only props I had down were the desk, computer and trash can. If you believe that a desk computer and trash can in an area that does not even have a formal district https://imgur.com/a/pMe6PTe is a established base then that means random props placed around the map by people on a cc for no intended purpose are an established base.  
 "this was explotiing with Malicious Intent." 
What was my malicious intent, my entities were fully accessible and destroyed and "raided" (not a technical raid) by somebody other then me who entered the rdm zone with raid tools. Simply accessing and existing in the rdm zone with fully accessible entities is not malicious.  
"You exploited into RDM zone with printers "
In our sit you said I had slogs of me spawning printers inside the RDM zone, now I got them in there by other means? 
the logs should show you I spawned the entities and props inside of the RDM zone and did not place down the fading door, keypad or connecting props to the fading door, nor was there a door that I could own/ co own that would make me "owner"
"this wasn't just like a prop glitch into someones base, this was explotiing with Malicious Intent."
So you're saying entering someone's base with a prop glitch and unfairly accessing their entities is worse then entering RDM zone and accessing menus to allow accessible entities within an area without an established district?

You-
Whether you put down a single prop or not is not why you got banned...

You were banned for exploiting into the RDM zone without portal/potion allowing you to spawn ents/use exterior weapons, not subjected to the RDM zone rules.
Secondly, you spawned entities in a place forbidden by entities, this would be like glitching into Sitland to base into there, it's forbidden.

You abused a command to allow yourself to gain wrongful entry into a restricted zone, spawned entities which is not allowed, and sat there and got money for abusing it as well, since rarely anyone gets in RDM zone in the early mornings.

What rules are you referencing? Spawning entities in a area that is 100% accessible through a potion or portal is not malicious exploiting.  
In your previous post: 
"this wasn't just like a prop glitch into someones base, this was explotiing with Malicious Intent."
So you're saying entering someone's base with a prop glitch and unfairly accessing their entities is worse then entering RDM zone and accessing menus to allow accessible entities within an area without an established district?

Here's the quoted rule.

• You may not have illegal / money-making entities inside a public base at any time. 

It cannot be a private base either, as there's no front door applicable+not in a raid district, which immediately breaks basing rules.
Secondly, you entered RDM zone through a method that allows you to spawn entites/props by exploiting into it.

DO NOT attempt to loophole any rules. Just because something isn’t written down, doesn’t make it okay. The staff has the final say in sits, if you disagree then you should appeal the decision on the forums, not in-game.                       This is literally a loophole I think the exploit ban is just.

-1 ( For punishment change)

6 months for this sort of exploit seems pretty extreme, even if they had ents i dont think its justified. Most 6 month exploiting bans are pretty serious exploits not people abusing unstuck to farm money printers in rdm zone. Arguably this is better than glitching into sitland and farming printers there. 

 

+1 to change the ban to a 1 month ban

You knew what you were doing when you performed the glitch.

Most 6 month bans for exploiting are typical really disruptive exploits that manipulate market or gameplay mechanics. This seems pretty tame in regards to exploits and exploiting bans are typically determined on how much of an advantage was gained. I just don't think basing in RDM zone for even an hour or more is that much gained.

 

+1 to reduce ban to a 1 month ban
