Denied [rey.jazzy#2356] Ban Appeal

[rey.jazzy]

Steam: FentYeen
SteamID32: STEAM_0:1:47854840
Discord: rey.jazzy

Banned by: Can't remember.
Duration: Permanent(?)
Reason: Stirring up drama in the Discord, among in-game things.

I feel enough time has passed since my departure from the community to warrant another shot. A lot's transpired in the past year of my life, largely resulting in many changes in how I carry myself and treat others. I lost a very close friend of mine back in February of 2024 who I couldn't be more grateful to have back in my life again, and losing him sparked changes in me that I honestly think shouldn't have taken as long as they did to happen.

That said, I'd like to extend another apology to all those involved when I was initially banned about a year(?) ago, particularly to someone whose exact username I forget and am unsure if they're still around, Scarlet. I won't go into too much detail because I don't know who reviews these appeals and wouldn't wanna overshare, but long story short I upset them a lot and was rather insensitive about it back then.

This, combined with another couple infractions on my record, ultimately led to me deciding I didn't wanna be part of this community anymore—so I disappeared. I used to be whitelisted for Civil Protection, Transhuman and Vortigaunt, but was dewhitelisted from Civil Protection and by extension Transhuman after I slipped up and inadvertently abused my mentorship. My whitelist for Vortigaunt however vanished just as I did because I wasn't around for the activity check.

I spent about a year staying away from HL2RP until I caught wind that Synapse was in open beta, so I decided to give it another shot and it's made me realize how much I missed this kinda thing. So whether I choose to actually play Willard again or not is still up in the air, I'd like to at least dip my toes in the water again, see where my heart is at. I don't know if my ban extends to the actual Willard game servers because I never checked, but if it does I'd ask for that to be lifted as well.

Evidence/reasoning: Not applicable.
Witnesses: Not applicable. I don't even know if Scarlet is still active in the Willard community, nor do I have leftover DMs from back then.

Hello Rey.Jazzy,

Can you please elaborate as much as possible. In these kinds of appeals all the small details matter the most.

It means I had developed a bit of a record in regards to ban history, I.E accidental misuse of mentorship privileges that got me demoted & banned for a couple days for metagame, thus leading to me being dewhitelisted from CP and OTA because the faction leaders (At the time, ClapTrap) didn't want a blemish like that on the faction's reputation, which in retrospect I don't blame them for as they handled it as respectfully as they could've. Also was insensitive towards a member of the community in the Discord, running my mouth about stuff I didn't know the full extent of, for which I apologized to those involved soon after.

I still decided to step away quietly instead of causing more trouble, stopped playing the server entirely even after my ban expired. This happened over a year ago so it's old news, you'd probably have to consult other staff. In any case I feel like it's been long enough for me to try putting my foot in the door

Hello Rey.Jazzy,

Your ban appeal has been Denied.

You were permanently banned for targeting and harassing another player, spreading inappropriate content at their expense, and engaging in behavior that was completely unacceptable. Additionally, your appeal downplays the severity of your actions, failing to take full responsibility for your actions. Stating that you "chose to leave the community" is incorrect, you were removed for a reason. Given the nature of your behavior, your ban will remain in place.
