Why were you punished?: "Cheating"
Why should this appeal be considered?: I'm reaching out because I've been banned for "cheating" after an incident in which I successfully defended my property against eight police officers during a raid. The officers assumed—incorrectly—that my property had already been hit. Yes, I had some weed in my back room, and naturally, I didn't want them entering. I had raided and killed someone shortly before, and would’ve been done for murder. My friend opted to stay out of it, but I chose to defend myself. This was the only real PvP event I’ve had in the last hour, and now I’m banned?
Here's what happened: While I was jailed for 10 minutes, the admin requested a demo, but I was AFK at the time. When I returned and was ready to comply, I was banned within 10 seconds, without even having a chance to respond. I understand the effort to keep the server cheater-free, but it feels like the process was rushed and unfair in this case.
For full transparency, I've uploaded the exact recording of the demo to Streamable so all admins can review how the event unfolded: https://streamable.com/yluxqv. It would have been more reasonable to allow me the opportunity to comply with the request before jumping to a ban. I’ve invested in this server, including buying premium, and it’s disappointing to be banned under these circumstances.
I ask that the ban be reconsidered after reviewing the recording. I respect the need to maintain integrity in the community, but I hope you’ll take a closer look before penalizing players who aren't actually cheating.
Edit: upon looking further on the rules I will admit that me and my friend were in a discord call, and that he did call the positions out of who was pushing me, we are new players and have only really just got to grips of playing on the server, I wasn’t aware that it wasn’t allowed and will take it into consideration next time.
