Ban Appeal 2 - nobody_new - 07-18-2022
Your Name: Tadao Hisoka (char in game) / RIPtide on Steam
Your SteamID : STEAM_0:0:9301635
Reason for ban: Revenge RDM, VDM
Length of ban: One day / 24 hours
Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Dispute
Why should you be unbanned? After I was RDM'd I made a staff ticket and went to retrieve my vehicle, a staff member spawned a rental car on top of my car in the vehicle spawn area. Then used their physgun to remove it from my car. I asked staff why they were playing around with cars when they should be taking tickets. The staff member in question is Infamy and the one who banned me. Infamy responded with some choice words, i.e. profanity, to my question. I tapped his car going roughly 5 miles an hour and we both exploded. Which is extremely odd since neither vehicle had sustained any damage, both had just been spawned at the dealer.
This leads me to believe that Infamy did something to cause the explosion, or that someone else did, and that there's no grounds in the act for the ban in question.
I did not kill Infamy, or his passenger if he had one. I had no intention of killing them. If Infamy or his passenger was the person that RDM'd me previously, I had no awareness of it being either of them. I had no intention of seeking "revenge" on the person who shot me previously, and honestly had no clue who they were.
I would like to see evidence of a "revenge rdm" and of "VDM" in this case. I was not taken into a Sit. I have never been warned on this behavior. I have no previouse bans on record (one that I appealed and won) and this ban in question is not justified in any manner.
In all honesty, this is blatant abuse by Infamy as a Moderator.

First and foremost, I just got on the server and your ticket wasn't on my screen. You decided to start punching me over a word so I shot you, you then came back and decided to chase me down through the tunnel screaming at me, telling me to take your ticket and when I was turning around you rammed into my car blowing me and another person up after we killed you.
Normally there's a staff member on but they are normally AFK. So I then decided to switch characters, none of the online staff were moving so I banned you. Just because I was active staff and didn't take an invisible ticket, doesn't put you in the right to go and VDM.

As a counterargument to this statement, "After I was RDM'd I made a staff ticket and went to retrieve my vehicle, a staff member spawned a rental car on top of my car in the vehicle spawn area. Then used their Phys gun to remove it from my car. I asked staff why they were playing around with cars when they should be taking tickets. " I was on my RP Char with no tickets on my screen, I moved the car so I can go ahead and drive it as stated before. Then you started confronting my friend for telling you to move your car because you parked your car in the middle of the spawn pad not allowing anyone to spawn and vehicles.
And as staff, we are allowed to have RP chars.
