Punishment Type: Ban
Punishment Subtype: Server Ban
Appeal Type: Dispute[Evidence]
Which staff member issued the punishment?: @Headline
How long were you banned/blacklisted for?: 1 Month
Your Steam Name: MalekIsWeird
Your Roleplay Name: Muhammed Sumbul
Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:137872891
Why were you punished?: 1.4, 1.6, 2.5, 3.4 - Constantly harassing random players with the intent of escalating situations and generally getting a reason to KOS people, this situation has also been described across public ARs where the user was told off about this and kept on repeating this types of actions across multiple instances. When the report was made, the user purposefully witheld information regarding the context of the report and kept on ranting about how it didnt matter instead of truthfully answering any questions made by myself on the context of the situation. The user also broke 3.4 in this specific situation where the player being instigated had gunpointed him to leave to which he decided to come back and continue antagonizing the situation without any real purpose, which eventually escalated to a shootout that could've well been avoided.
Why should this appeal be considered?:
Pre-face: I want to urge anyone seeing this, including Staff, to kindly consider that Muhammed Sumbul is a CHARACTER. You might hate my character for his evil and bully mentality but that personality does not represent me, It is ONLY intended as genuine roleplay from my end. Regardless if I learn from this that my character and the style of roleplay I do is allowed or not, I want everyone to know I am open to whatever outcome happens to build upon to further my understanding how to be in-cooperation with the expectations upheld by server rules.
Headline has shown a pattern with me where almost every interaction with him in F6 comes with a certain kind of attitude. To the best of my recollection, Any report I made (regardless if it is a situation like this or else), He will dig for anything he can use to make it seem as if I did wrong and relentlessly hound me with questions to abuse his power as staff to inquire about anything other than the claims or evidence presented to purposefully avoid settling the case I present against the defendants but focus on the aforementioned objective of finding any wrong on my behalf. This time, he used that power in combination with a strong pejorative attitude to treat me like a hassle after I carefully prepared the evidence for him in organized fashion. When given the option to De-escalate and hand over the case to a different moderator from the start, he refused and instead kept on interrogating me on a speculation / conspiracy. Eventually, I never got to make my explanation Or have my evidence against Ignis reviewed. Instead I was banned for coming to seek staff help. I can only assume Ignis got away Scot-free here while Headline instead used conspiracy tactics to derail the F6 then stacked every rule he can to intimidate me into submitting to his power-trip, then decided to ban me for a whole month when I did not falter.
Moving on to the disputing each rule break:
1.4) I am not causing problems by roleplaying against official (or unofficial) rivals of my organization. In this case, I was interacting in a hostile manner with a rival gang leader of a opposing organization. This is not profound or unique behavior, Others do this and many more will do this in the form of crowbarring a car specifically to bait shootouts for KOS or to farm org XP. Furthermore, you can observe that I clearly did not square up first; push first or punch first.
1.6) As shown in the evidence, I did not refuse to answer his question but instead I asked him to hand it over to Husky Dog because I did not want to deal with his unprofessional pejorative attitude. I was fully willing to provide any further answers to any inquiries so long as I am not treated with disrespect by staff. Furthermore, I led the F6 creation with all relevant demo recordings and other forms of evidence necessary to prove my claims beyond reasonable doubt about the wrongdoing of the defendant giving forth only exactly what I believed was necessary. I did not withhold information relevant to the rule breaks I
alleged. Nevertheless; In theme with almost every past F6 I had him claim from me, Instead of being helpful or acknowledging my claim or evidence, he instead choses to de-rail the F6. The staff member Headline went on a tangent about what he speculates I did wrong based on a lack of context to a point irrelevant to the enduring issue or any involved parties. To me, I am worried and concerned that this is a form retaliation to me calling him out on his rude unprofessional OOC behavior in the F6 then asking for a replacement to de-escalate the situation while trying my best to get to the bottom of everything.
2.5) Anthony, The new player in blue, is a friend of mine. Anthony who caught the player in white shirt crowbarring his Dodge Challenger was reasonably angered. I walked in on this situation seeing him already pressing the white shirt. Acknowledging it is a new player in white, despite my good acquaintance with Anthony before this situation, I let Anthony decide what level of retaliation is taken. Me and Anthony proceeded to press the new player for attempting to steal Anthony's car but no more than that. I went with Anthony to give him a Glock 18C because we were becoming friends after already having been past good acquaintances when Charles Mullen (Ignis) decided to immediately freak out at me, break NLR along with break character and start disrespecting me. HE initiated the insulting, berating and threatening going OOC over me trying to help my new player friend who happened to be in his org. In the end, I only returned fire as you can see when he tried to murder me so I don't understand how that is excessive.
3.4) When Charles Mullen decided to begin attacking me verbally for hanging out with Anthony, me and him were engaged in a mutual trash talk. When he pulled a weapon to threaten me, I stepped out of his store when he was visibly armed and posing a threat to my life as fast as I can. However, I wanted reasonable retaliation, Therefore I carefully made sure he was not aiming or visibly armed when I engaged in more trash talk because then there would actually be a risk to my life. You can also obviously see that I was outside the store on public grounds still engaged in the mutual trash talk in the moment I was almost rdmed.
