Ban Details

How long was the ban for: Permanent community ban

Which staff member banned you: Carnifex

What date did the ban occur: The initial ban was on - 18/04/2019 then updated on - 23/12/2019

What was the reason for the ban: The original community ban was for threatening to DDOS another player then I tried to log in on my 2nd account 8 months later.

Explain the situation in detail which led to you being banned: This is an extract of my previous ban appeal from 2019, see below...

"It was an early Saturday morning, I got on gmod logged into the server. Later on, I went AFK in a computer room/server room which was above my clearance level. I got back and walked out of the room and Ashton from ISB seen me come out, he then came up and cuffed me then escorted me to the brig. On the way there I said that he can't arrest me because there was around 7 people on and then I said I will DDOS him. As a young 15 year old that gets angry easily I was completely unaware that I could get perma banned for saying that, also I don't even know how to DDOS. So when I arrived at the brig Ashton requested for an admin and Galle came to the sit, Galle then explained to me that threatening to DDOS is a perma ban, I tried to apologize but it was too late... I was banned by Carnifex."

Why do you believe you deserve to be unbanned / given a second chance: As my passion for Star Wars still rages on 3 years later, I have always missed the server, community and the great roleplay environment that you can't find anywhere else. IG was my very first server and still remember the memories that I really want to re-experience. Back in 2019 I was a young adolescent 15 year old that lacked maturity and sensibleness that was strongly preferred on the server. As an age old member of the server since early 2018 it would be awesome to get back to where I left off, I honestly miss the server so much and really regret what I said.

Now it's 2-3 years later, I am now 18, living by myself and have a great career working for the government, which shows that I am mature and professional which is good for the IG community. A second chance would be greatly appreciated as Star Wars is still my after work hobby and this is the perfect place to keep that hobby going. I'm sure many people will still -1 this appeal as my reason for the ban is serious but I do understand & respect that the IG staff uphold strict rules to protect the community and to keep it healthy. I have been apart of the wider star wars RP community for years and hold M A N Y hours on the SWRP servers. Even when I was 15 I still loved to RP and I done pretty well at it by spending time in multiple regiments, but that one incident made me slip up all because of my age and maturity. Personally, I believe an incident from that long ago shouldn't have a major effect of me getting into the server now because my behaviour has changed drastically, I'm not some 15 year old living with my parents anymore.

To add, my ban did get updated as I tried to get back into the server with another account 8 months later back in 2019.

I assure you that my approach to the server will be way better than when I was 15 and I am sorry for what I have done many years ago.

Thanks guys, appreciate your time

thx kumo for the 2nd appeal chance xx

Your post is constructed well, and ill recommend a +1. But should you be allowed back you should be subjected to a close watch. I will also recommend to those higher ups that you pass certain tests to test your RP Abilities and what you would do in certain situations, and to answer them honestly and truthfully.

So heres my +1 to you.
