Ban Apology (Admin Meeting)

Punishment Type: Ban
Punishment Subtype: Server Ban
Appeal Type: Apology
Which staff member issued the punishment?: @Tilin
How long were you banned/blacklisted for?: Permanent

Your Steam Name: IrishGator49
Your Roleplay Name: Stanley Castle
Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:169903123

Why were you punished?: User called another player a discriminatory slur, when asked about it in the report, they said they don't care that it's against the rules. Additional evidence showed multiple instances of blatant disregard and the ban has been extended to permanent.

Why should this appeal be considered?: This happened the day after Christmas almost a full year ago. Since then, I've thought a lot about just how much I miss playing on the server. I didn't honestly think that what I said was a bad thing, but it took me a while to see that it was. I was in a dark spot (not an excuse just explaining) and I think that I deserve a second chance to come back a better person. I actually want to thank the admin who banned me for making me see what I said was wrong, If that didn't happen, I don't think I ever would have come to realize what I know about myself now.

Additional Information: If I am unbanned, I will use this as an opportunity to be better to not only others but a better version of myself. That's it, Hope you consider it.

As this is a permanent ban, it will be addressed by way of an Admin Meeting and I will amend the thread title accordingly.

In advance of that however, you may want to address the fact that you tried to alt yesterday:

To address this, This is the only time in my entire life I've ever tried to ban evade before because I'm relatively new to what Gmod is really all about. I really just wanted to see how the server had changed in a year. When I saw the error code that I wasn't allowed to join because I was being a dumbass, I gotta say I was impressed by the tech that you guys are able to know something like that. Either way, I'm not going to lie and say that I didn't do it, but I really didn't do it with any ill intent or anything like that. I guess there's no way to prove that but I just figured I would come clean because it looks like I'm caught red handed anyways lol.

I know that it probably makes everything that I said look like it's illegitimate, but I really do feel like I've changed a lot since then and I wanted to see how the server had changed as well. This is probably not getting me anywhere and you're probably just going to reject it anyways, but if for some reason you do decide to reverse the ban or at least reduce it that would be very cool because I miss playing on the server a lot. I didn't really do anything other than just play as a road crew and it was some of the most fun I've ever had on a game which is crazy to think about.

I hope when you have your meeting about this you look at the whole thing and the bigger picture of it all. If unbanned, I will simply just ride around as a road crew and walk around and mind my own business as before. If I do decide to talk, nothing like what happened will happen again. That's all I have to say, Thanks for reading.
