Petski's ban reduction appeal

[Petski]

Steam Name: Petski
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:17461532

Name of the Admin you were banned by: Salvador
How long is the ban for?: 1 Week
The reason you were banned?: Metagame
Why do you wish to be unbanned?: I'm not requesting to be unbanned, but rather reduce the sentence (The duration of my ban). While i am very happy that the ban already has been reduced from 1 month to 1 week, i feel as though the sentence is still too harsh and i really want to play on the server.

In the picture linked below, it is shown that i was contacted by Kirin (also bond) asking me to get on the server to provide a sledgehammer i had in my storage. I obliged and went onto the server, went into my container, handed it to him and went off right after. It was my impression that this specific item was for an event of some sort and therefore rushed on to hand it over, as i didn't want to deny them said event. At the time I didn't realise i was metagaming by doing so, and thereby breaking a rule. Please believe me when i say i had no malicious intent to break a rule or any of the sort.

I agree that i am guilty of metagaming, even if it was not on purpose to gain an advantage of sorts, but i feel as though an entire week is too much. If i understand correctly, the minimum sentence for metagaming is 1 week, but i am hoping it can potentially be overturned and thereby reduced in duration as i have no previous metagaming records on my profile, as well as the reasons stated above.

Do you have any picture or video evidence to support your reason?:

Were there any witnesses who can help in this appeal?: @salvador & all the CM's i suppose (CM's specifically as i think only they hold the authority to overturn a rule, of which is the 1 week minimum sentence)

@NEYO is Salvador.

 

[NEYO]

Yo,

My own opinion is that the 1 week minimum should remain.

@Community Manager tagging cms for a definitive answer.

 

[Petski]

Bump.

Just wait those 2 days. Just the fact that you've been originally banned for month should be good reason to just be grateful

 

[Petski]

As stated in the post, i am grateful for the original reduction. It doesn't matter much anymore, since it has taken quite a while for the thread to be concluded with a definite answer and there is now less than 3 days of my ban remaining. I suppose it's more of a principle thing at this point, but it's not a huge deal. It has been 4 days since CM's got tagged, so i would have hoped to get a reply at the very least.

Hiya Petski.

Considering that NEYO, the super administrator, took the course of action in regards to the metagame charge and since he made it clear he wished to keep the ban, we didn't want to intervene. Whether he wishes to unban you before the deadline is up is a choice he has the full capacity to make.

I bring apologies for a rather late response in this regard, considering we were tagged. Though our attentions have been attuned heavily elsewhere. Cheers.

It's quite alright, i think it's safe to assume you have quite the workload as community managers. I'm fine with waiting this one last day to get back onto the server, so we can archive this if staff wishes to do so - Thanks for the response nonetheless

 

[Petski]

I've have now rejoined the server and is having a blast with the crafting update - ya'll can move this into denied or delete it.

Closed.
