Appealing for: Ban
Appeal type: Apology
Which staff member banned you: Bolli
How long were you banned for: Permanent
Your Steam Name: b00lin – PIPERHOOK.XYZ
Your In-game Name: Nathan Bradberry
Your Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:204962684
Why were you banned/blacklisted: Cheating
Why should this appeal be considered: It’s been about a month (now near 3 months meaning that I have had even more time to reflect as I still edit this appeal) since my ban for cheating and in that time I have thought about my actions near enough every day. The time that I have reflected may seem like a controversial amount of time in comparison to how much others may spend, but I can guarantee that something like this would never happen again. I have spent that time reflecting on my mistake which was entirely my fault, no one else’s.
I put this appeal up now because I enjoyed joining Perp every now and then to talk and meet some great people. It was wrong of me to cheat and as I should have known better as I have been in this community for long enough (since 2015, had a new main account). Upon reflecting, I realised that I never actually needed to cheat and to be honest I am not quite sure as to why I cheated because all I ever did was stand around Bazaar watching people get slaughtered in shootouts (not justifying cheating what so ever, at this point I’m against it, I understand that it is the principle of cheating which is bad enough, not what I do with the cheats). Again, I know that a month may not seem like a long time however, I believe that a lot can happen in a month. Being on the other side of cheating which I mention later on has been one of the things I have experienced in this time (mentioned in more depth later on). But this experience has shown me how toxic cheating can be.
Another reason why I think this appeal should be considered is that prior to this I haven’t had too many issues with staff and haven’t really been in too much trouble until now. I once again apologise for bringing cheats into the community and if I am granted with another chance it shall not happen again. If being allowed back into the community, I would happily agree to any circumstances/conditions if I were to be unbanned or have my time reduced, anything would mean a lot. If I were to be forgiven and unbanned, I can assure you that I would not let you down. I would also be more than happy to receive a permanent community ban if I were to mess up in any way as I trust my ability to follow the rules for the second time, this is how confident I am that I have reformed and have changed my outlook on cheating.
Another reason why I think this appeal should be considered and I should be given some kind of leniency is because I never raided, mugged or killed any players with these cheats. I guess I just had them on because I could. Again, don't want to justify cheating, as I have said before I am completely against any kind of cheating and prefer playing legit nowadays. But nonetheless, it would mean a lot if I was given some leniency. IF I were to be unbanned then I would be more than happy to provide demos if requested however I am sure that this wouldn't be necessary and the staff team would be able to dedicate their time to adding to the server.
Despite having these cheats, I never used them to raid other players or take anything from other players (don’t even think I have shot another player with a gun before). However, going back to my point I know that this doesn’t justify my actions which I truly apologise for as it is the principle of cheating, apologies if it comes across that way, that is not my intention. I couldn’t even tell you why I cheated but I can assure it wouldn’t happen again.
I want to apologise to the community as I would always have an advantage in most situations which isn’t fair and hope that you can forgive me. I understand that those who cheat against you ruin your experience and hard work playing legit which I now totally understand. I also want to apologise to the staff team (Bolli in particular as he has probably has to deal with this on a stupidly large scale). You guys have to deal with a bunch of issues a day and cheating in the community shouldn’t have to be one of them. As TinySlayer as said in the past, dealing with cheaters takes a lot of time and effort. Me being part of that problem still affects you guys as content would take a bit longer as efforts has to be put into stopping cheaters, for that I express my regret for my actions.
Recently I have been occasionally playing FiveM since I am unable to play on Perpheads and in this time I have encountered cheaters. Possibly one of the most frustrating things to have to deal with, as well as giving them an unfair advantage which made me further disagree with cheating. Kind of a taste of your own medicine thing. Experiencing this makes me regret cheating even more as it can ruin a players experience. Even something as simple as having a crosshair would just destroy the experience as it would put that player at a huge advantage as they can aim with ease compared to those that don't cheat and have a crosshair. This is just one example but I could do a whole section as to why I can't stand cheating, but it would probably be a poorly constructed ramble. I would mention my experience with GMOD too but most of the servers are terrible, basically stopped playing Garry's Mod as soon as I was banned, rest of the servers are near enough pointless as they don't offer the same level of quality that Perpheads does.
Overall, I cannot stress how much I apologise for my actions which I can assure would never happen again, it was a bad choice and stupid decision. I would like to think that I deserve a second chance and be welcome back into the community. Even a decreased ban would mean a lot but hopefully you would consider allowing me to join my friends again once reading my appeal. I would be more than happy to be unbanned under strict conditions as I know that I have learnt my lesson and I hope that you see that too by giving me another chance.I would also like the opportunity to speak to Bolli in the Teamspeak if possible, pushing my luck I guess but nonetheless, would still like to talk and to apologise to Bolli personally as I feel it's what he deserves. (I am b00lin in Teamspeak). Spoken to Bolli, I did leave a private message which was a bit more co-ordinated, apologises that my thought trail was a bit all over the place but I still mean my apology. I am always free on Teamspeak if you do have any questions and hopefully I can string a sentence out to answer them.
Additional Comment(s): Just want to mention that my website is simply a meme website and just something which allows me to further develop web development (domain will be dead soon anyway). At no point will cheats actually be an option for the website. That will always be the case. I also written this appeal throughout the month as I will/have reflected on my ban frequently and have probably spent over 24 Hours going over and changing this appeal, adding onto it each day etc. This is also partially the reason why I put this appeal up as doing genuine reflection as to what I did and why it was wrong seems a lot longer than a month.
Thought I would also point out at no point do I want to justify why I cheated, if it comes across that way I apologise once again. At this point I am against cheating, ruins the experience, not just for everyone but myself too. As mentioned before, playing FiveM and dealing with cheaters is possibly one of the most jarring things possible, I don’t want to bring this issue to any communities as it is a huge pain to deal with, constantly having to come up with different solutions and putting in those man hours to ban cheaters whereas that time could be used to further improve the user experience.
I'd be more than happy to have staff watch my game whenever I am on the server as at this point I want to be able to join my friends on the server (and some of the cool guys I have met in Teamspeak during my ban). I understand that the time is significantly shorter in comparison to most cheating offences however in this time I really have reflected on my actions in the time I have been banned. At the time I basically had a casino and that was all I did but if I were to come back into the community I would try my best to offer something more to the roleplay experience.
During this time of being banned, I have got to know the community possibly more than I ever would have if I wasn't banned. I normally used to lurk at bazaar every now and then but being in Teamspeak and shoutbox allowed me to be get to know the community and has given me a different outlook on the way I would play if I were to have my ban appeal accepted.
I have also noticed that this community has grown significantly (in terms of content with many more iterations ahead) and would love to be apart of this but this time round be legit as at this point. Once again, I hope the community can forgive me and welcome me back into the community.
I would be more than happy to talk to staff if they had any questions because I am confident I have changed my ways and would love to be allowed to be allowed back into the server. As I said before, I feel a lot has changed in the short time I have been banned as I believe that everyone is different.
Another note, I have found a demo from when I used to play, they would reinforce the things mentioned above. These demos would show that I generally used to just stand around Bazaar, not taking things players had earned with an aimbot or walls. Even when given the opportunity I would not take drugs, again don't want to justify having cheats on but just want to show how stupid/pointless it was for me to have cheats in the first place (as I never needed them). After speaking to other members of the community and getting to know them, they also agree that it was a rather stupid thing for me to do but can see past it (for reasons I have stated earlier in my appeal).
Thank you for reading Bolli and any other staff members that read this (as well as the community of Perpheads. I hope you can see that I have changed my ways and give me a second chance to join my friends and new people I have met in the community. Sorry that this appeal is a bit all over the place as I still add onto it each day as I do believe I have reflected thoroughly and reformed) so apologies if it is super difficult to read and follow, again I am more than happy to clear up anything that doesn't make sense as there is a lot I have written. (Seriously please consider it, I just tried playing other GMOD Servers and they are dreadful, spare me).
