Your Character Name: Joe Mossey
Ban Length: 4 days
Banning Staff Member (@AdminName to mention the staff member): @Tango
Ban Reason: Meta gaming - private discord
Time of Occurrence: Not sure, I got off at 4 am
Relevant Evidence: (idk if this means anything, but here is a picture of my discord and the ban)
Additional members involved/witnessing: I literally don't even know the people I was "meta gaming" with. Let me explain below.
So last night at like 2:30-3:45 (when i got off) am, there was absolute chaos going on, vdm multiple times by ups drivers and tow trucks. Entire city was on fire and pretty much just nothing was going how it normally should. For instance, some guy just randomly shot me while farming and I'm still not sure who it was. I made a ticket about the vdm after It happened to me and I watched it multiple times when i realized @Tango was online, but my ticket was never even responded to. Anyways, at like 2 am with 60 players online and nothing but chaos, I decided I was done trying to mug, and do fun shit so I went to the supermarket to grow melons..... I met some ups guy who's truck had got stolen by a random guy on my way there. So we talked and decided to farm some. Yea we talked in discord, but I really didn't think it was a problem, we weren't even doing anything that affected anyone else just farming legal crops. Only thing that would incite rp, would be if police told us to stop. But anyways, I just didn't know I wasn't allowed to be on discord. I knew i wasn't allowed to meta game on discord, but since we didn't really do anything, I didn't think it was a problem. There was one time when we held a cop at gun point, but that was before we where even in discord. So yea, basically got banned for meta gaming for being in a discord even though I wasn't doing anything that involved anyone else, or gave me any type of advantage. Honestly just didn't know it was against the rules, I just wont do it again I'm sorry. However I do have an issue being that I paid money to be premium for a month, and now I have been banned for longer than I have even been playing the server. I think that is a bit crazy, I understand I broke the rule, and do apologize, but I didn't know it was a rule at the time. I've only been playing for a few days and someone told me discord was a no no, but only if I was using it to raid and communicate without others knowing thus giving us an advantage. And I didn't feel like that was happening at all. Im sorry, but could my ban please be appealed? I really had good things to say about the server and thats why I bough premium so quickly. But now I am being banned for a rule I didn't really understand. For longer than I have even been playing. Oh only other thing I did besides farm behind market while being on discord. Was at almost 4 am we rode to the drug dealer so i could sell some weed I had in my bank. Then we planted crops in front of city hall to see how the cops would respond.. Then we got offline. Just realized I was banned after I got off, when i tried to get on this morning. Thanks for reading. Sorry for the confusion, but I hope you understand where I'm coming from.. I'm a new player, and I guess I was just misinformed thinking discord was fine as long as I wasn't using it to have an advantage over others.
