Unban for TheyCallMeArab

[TheyCallMeArab 1]

Ban Reason: Teleporter Trapping

Date of Ban: June 23 or 24.  11:00 p.m - 12:00 a.m

Ban Length: 6 months

Steam ID: U:1:145429025

Server: Dustbowl #2 Chicago


Admins:
I wanted to type you an appeal to get unbanned and to apologize. What I did was horribly inappropriate, disrespectful, and wildly destructive. While I can't truly know how this feels to you, I can certainly understand that what I did was one of the worst things I could possibly have done to you. This is an especially terrible thing for me to have done to you after I joined your servers. I would try and offer an explanation for what I did, but there are no excuses. My intentions, though good, don't matter here: only my poor choices. I absolutely take responsibility for my selfish actions and how much I wasted your time. I can’t expect your forgiveness, though I certainly hope for it. All I can say is that I truly want things to be okay between us. I want you to feel okay and eventually even happy when you let me back on your servers. I want to earn back the right to play on your servers and to have fun. Hopefully, in the future, we can find a way to move past this. Mistakes were made on that night, and I promise I will change.

I sincerely thank you for reading my appeal

Ohai. 

I'll send the banning admin this way for input, and we're going to see what we'll do, then.

Alrighty then. I'll just chill. If you mind me asking, who's the banning admin?

I'm the banning admin.  According to the other players on the server, these guys carried on this behavior over the course of several rounds.  I watched them (on my partner's computer) literally do nothing but build tele-traps for at least one full 20+ minute round before I joined the server myself.  They ignored their teammates' requests to stop.  They ignored my request to stop.  Because I feel that tele-trapping, like hacking and spamming, is an act of immaturity, I believe that anyone immature enough to feel compelled to do it will feel compelled to do it or similar acts again in the near future.  Immaturity can only be cured with time.  Therefore, I will NOT support lifting these bans any earlier than the original 6 months.  Hopefully that's enough time that they will have grown up enough by then to be able to actually play M-rated games with other grownups instead of using glitches to peacock at everyone like children.

 

@OP: Apologies are usually appreciated, but you're going so overboard with them that it comes off as insincere, so I'm not buying it.  It's up to staff to decide if they want to be more forgiving than me.

I don't remember you telling us to stop in chat, or that you're an admin and you'll ban us. But still, I respect your decision and I shall serve my 6 months. In the meantime, I'll just wait for a response. If you mind, can you please attach  a snapshot of you telling us to stop in chat? Thanks.

I'll see through the demos and then decide on how to proceed further.

Meanwhile, i'm going to lock this.

After the last PM i got, i am even more convinced to not change anything on that ban.

Unban request denied.
