Couch Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Steam Name: Couch Ingame Name: Steven Universe SteamID: STEAM_0:0:49726154 Ban Length: Permanent Admin that Banned you: gamikzone Reason for Ban: DDos threat Dispute: Let me preface this appeal by saying that I did not and never intend to DDos the server or any Gaminglight affiliated servers. I have never been kicked or banned before and have never said anything of this nature before, this was simply an isolated instance of my own idiocy because I felt like cornballing in OOC. From what I remember, I was making my own fun as a D-Class by making jokes with the others around me and pestering guards. I was sporadically putting goofs in OOC chat that would contain more vulgarities as the security kept sending us down with partial lock-downs. I was probably on the server for about 45 minutes when some research trainee named "Noah" asked for training for what I presumed was the 10th time, considering he had been pleading for the entirety of my session. So, in the heat of the moment, I put in OOC something like "Aye train my homie Noah," followed by "if you don't train my homie Noah I'll DDos the server." I immediately realized the gravity of what I had just blurted and followed it by saying "JK pls don't ban me," after which I was given my ban. I write this appeal not to detest the reason of this ban, but rather to concede with it, apologize, and wish for my length to be reduced to something less permanent. I wholeheartedly acknowledge that DDos threats are very harmful whether or not they are genuine or not. I hope it is understood that I did not intend to cause trouble or shake up the staff with such a threat. I have invested more time into this server than any other server still alive and kicking, and I have engaged with a lot of the activities to be done on the server with the purest intentions; I have climbed the ranks of the security team up to Corporal, been involved in many events, and RPed as everything a level 29 could offer without breaking the server rules in any detrimental way. I find that one of the only reasons to boot up Garry's Mod anymore is to ball out on the server and I hope that you take my words and appeal into consideration. I will severely limit my OOC spazzing in the future should you accept my appeal. I am sorry. Edited February 11, 2020 by Couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakub Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 +/- support. I understand you didn't mean to do any harm and were only joking but these threats must be taken seriously and not go un punished although I do agree that a perma ban is a harsh punishment for what was a bad and unthough through joke. I believe that reducing your ban sentence would be an appropriate action taken by the SMT team. Ex E11 COL, Ex A1 MAJ, Ex AHOTS, Ex Security 2LT, Ex Admin. Current CI 2LT.

Crabbo Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I mean it really wasn't good timing for the "Joke" cause a bunch of high ranking staff were on plus igneous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillers Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 +/- Support, i understand that jokes can be jokes, but it still was a bad thing to do, i do however agree with Jakub that perhaps a Perma ban may be a tad much for a joke, and perhaps it can get reduced.

Rookieblue Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Accepted! Your ban length will be reduced to 1.5 months. DDOS threats are extremely detrimental to the community and nothing to joke about. If this conduct repeats itself the next ban will be permanent.
