Ban Appeal

[mightymelon]

Your Steam Name: MightyMelon
Your Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:86434106
Your Character Name: George Melon

Ban Length: 4 days
Banning Staff Member: @gm1003

Ban Reason: FailRP as Secret Service with priors.
Unban Reason: I don't think I did anything wrong... First, the mayor had a law stating any threats on the mayor's life will be met with immediate death, and it was made clear that the SS should kill anyone who threatened his life. Then, two cops had their guns out near him after he was just released from their custody and wouldn't put the guns away or leave him after being told many times. Then I shot them and was brought to a sit for it, and told that was FailRP, despite me just following a law, and after theyd' just arrested the mayor and also killed many SS (unpunished.)

Aside from that, I also was told that I was banned because of having prior incidents where I FailRP'd as a Secret Service, which is on video. I asked what they were and was told that @gm1003 wasn't allowed to tell me or something, so I said we could go somewhere private and he could tell me there. I didn't get any answer and was banned for 4 days.

Time of Occurrence: 6/5/2019 at about 8:10 PM EST.
Additional members involved/witnessing: N/A

Secret Service may not harm any other government officials - like the Police Department and Sheriff’s Department.

You broke the rule quoted above. Regardless of the server laws, the rules should be respected.

I'd still like to know what priors I even had as SS and why I couldn't be told.

We do not disclose your record or punishments we gave you in the past. This includes but is not limited to: notes, warning points, bans and blacklists.

It’s for these reasons that were mentioned above that you were banned. I don’t really see why I should reduce or remove your ban since I don’t have any assurance that you won’t do this again, which is why the ban was made in the first place.

 

[mightymelon]

The fact that such a case has never occurred while I've played and thus wasn't aware that I couldn't do what I did in the first place.

 

[itz_coffee]

While you haven’t had FailRP infractions for secret service particularly, you’ve had FailRP punishments in other aspects of gameplay which is why I am hesitant.

Most of the time I've gotten in trouble on the server it's been for accidental things like this, where I don't know that a certain thing is or isn't allowed, either due to being told otherwise or having overlooked something when reading the rules. For this, I thought what I did was allowed and justified as the mayor's law allowed it and police had just attacked us with no punishment, which would definitely further cement the idea that it's allowed (conflict between SS and police). Especially considering they were trying to arrest the mayor for not giving them budget when the mayor just wasn't being a pushover to the PD and chose not to give them more budget after they just had $60k budget.

It was a hectic situation I’ll give you that. Please try to not repeat something like this. You will be unbanned but blacklisted from secret service for a day since you were banned for a day.
