Cavity's Ban Appeal - 76561198050149679

[Cavity]

Steam Name: Cavity
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:44941975

Name of the Admin you were banned by: Robert
How long is the ban for?: 90 days
The reason you were banned?:
I have zero clue. There was a massive ban wave going in the server, and I was caught up in it




Why do you wish to be unbanned?:
If I was banned for "Mass/Excessive Chip Looping" I want to see the log proof that I ever was doing such a thing. I have never exploited or cheated on this server or any other server I have played on in my ENTIRE time playing Garrys Mod or HL2RP. I don't even know how to dupe chips or loop them, whatever that even means. Everything I have sold to the dealer was crafted by me over the course of time and was sold to them.

Show me the proof that validates this ban! This is absurd.

Do you have any picture or video evidence to support your reason?:
No, because I haven't done anything.

Were there any witnesses who can help in this appeal?: (List the steam and/or character names of them or tag them)
No, because I haven't done anything.

For clarification on this, it seems that anyone who 'abused' the blood bag 'exploit' by buying the resources needed for it on the cheap and then selling it for a decent profit margin is being banned for exploiting, due to it causing complications in the rebel economy scene. Some players are also being banned for sharing the profits they made with other players.

My opinion on this doesn't matter as I'm not WN main staff, but just wanted to provide you with context on your ban given you seem confused about it.

 

[Cavity]

I have never even crafted blood bags! I got, I think, 12 blood bags from the boat crate spawn at the docks and sold them to the NPC dealer, that is all I have ever done.

So I am being banned for 90 days based on a "what-if" scenario that I exploited?!?!?! Which I never even did? I have zero clue on how to even exploit it! If this is an economic issue, it is a developer problem, not the player's fault, I have no clue what I was even doing or have even done!

(EDIT)
Going back to what was said up top, if this was an ISSUE caused by developers, then why the hell is this the players' fault? Why the hell are they even being banned anyways? Either way, I'm innocent in all of this I don't even know how to craft bloodbags or the purpose of them.

For reference:
Never sold disinfected bandages (as far as the logs go back) until last week. On the 15th (yesterday) suddenly starts buying loads of cloth and selling loads of disinfected bandages (182 sales total of chip-loop items in the past week, 95% of them being on the 15th).

Yeah, I bought a few hundred crafting items, you're lying about the fact that I exploited anything. I didn't even know it was an exploit, and I still don't know what the hell a chip loop even is. This is fucking ridiculous. I'm being treated like a criminal and as a rule breaker when I didn't do ANYTHING wrong except craft and sell items from a system YOU GUYS put into place.

Just wanna hop in and try to encourage you to please approach this with a level head. Being irate will only result in this likely being met with a denial, regardless of the circumstances.

Your frustration is entirely understandable and something I relate with to a extent, but it does no good to anyone involved, and doesn't give reviewing staff any incentive to approach this without bias towards either sides of the ban.

Ban reduced down to 1 month, review and conversations are still in progress.

Thank you. I’d still like a full appeal for this ban, especially since Rad-X apparently said I was on of the “lowest on the list” but I’ll wait for the final review.

After further review and a general look through the logs regarding the exploitable items, we have decided to lift the ban entirely. Also went through this lightly with Rad. While not everyone will be unbanned given punishments do need to be provided to where they are a given for the recent situation, we can remove some of our more minor offences.

Warnings will replace the bans as per the policy with other unbans ongoing for record keeping. This warning cannot be removed/appealed, and is indeed permeant.

Unban will be done shortly.
