Why should they be returned?: Smokey seems to be inexperienced in admin work as he seemingly took my flags without looking into things any further than what he felt should have been done. It's as if he acted with some sort of lack of cognative skills. Regardless I would like my flags back as I would have hated to have wasted thirty dollars to just have what I paid for taken away by a rookie, especially for something that I did not do. And on a further note, I find it interesting that certain admins like to pretend or turn a blind eye to obvious issues happening in front of them, and instead choose to gun after me, such as today when I was unfairly tased by a cop in front of an admin, who did nothing to stop the cop but instead did a cheer emote while screaming "he's got a gun". In a way it shows a perfect picture of the current state of the server. I hope I will be accepted for this appeal, as it is honestly a shame to have gone through this. Smokey should either be thoroughly talked to about this situation, as something like this should never slide as it paints a negative picture for the rest of the admins in the community. And with that, have a nice day

Although Smokey took your flags on the basis that you spawned in a hot air balloon (when you did not as i was there), there were many things that you did that would have warranted their removal. To preface all of this you had been warned by String the same day (1-2 hours prior to Smokey removing your flags) for flipping cars with your flags. And even before that I brought you to a sit regarding PET flag abuse and gave you a verbal warning. If I had gone through with a traditional warn your flags would have been stripped at the sit with String. So although Smokey may have stripped them for the wrong reason, I believe your flags should be stripped for some time and given back at a later date. Just my input.
