Reduction Request - Puggo - 09-13-2022
Your Name: Puggo
Your SteamID STEAM_0:0:156780497[url=https://steamid.io/][/url]
Reason for ban: Alt E abuse / Exploit
Length of ban: 3W
Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): Both
Why should you be unbanned? First off I'm not asking for a full unban, I'm asking for a reduction to possibly 1 or 2 weeks since I did break the rules and I did lie to staff in the sit.
What happened. I alt E glitched my way into an apartment to steal coke from someone's processor. I then got caught and was obviously and fairly banned.
I was fine with my ban until I saw someone else who had PO for Alt-E abuse got a 1-day ban simply just describing it as abuse. In my sit it was described as an exploit and severely raised the punishment as such, I personally don't think it's fair that I receive a harsher punishment than someone who has a PO for such an "exploit"
I'm not going to put a huge wall of text for no reason, it goes without saying that I'm sorry and it won't happen again.

Right away without even being familiar with the 1 day ban I can safely say it is very different form what you did.
In that context its when a user sits to avoid being arrested and refuses to standup as a way of avoiding rp/police. Obviously not allowed but the consequences are more immediate. What you did was definitely much more severe.

I'm not exactly familiar with the context of the other person's ban but I think the fact that for the exact same thing one was described as abuse and the other an exploit is kind of ridiculous.
I'm not oblivious to the fact I broke the rules, I, of course, should have known better and I accept that I received punishment I just personally believe 3 weeks is overkill even if what i did was (compared to the other users actions) more severe.

Hi Puggo
Thanks for taking the time to write this thread.
The sit was first called in for a PK because you raided the place and got killed in the process. After reviewing the footage and being shown a clip from the outside, it was clearly visible you have abused the Alt-E sit mechanic to glitch through the wall. You have stated you did it twice and with no malicious intent, you just wanted to "Fuck with them a bit". I have banned you for a week for this.
After I issued the ban I was informed that there was an open locker where cocaine bricks were missing. I have reviewed the logs and was able to make out that you actually raided the place and stole goods using the glitch. Afterwards I have updated the ban to 3 weeks because there obviously was malicious intent.
You are not new to the server, nor are you unfamiliar with the rules. You have, with full knowledge and intention, abused a game mechanic and a glitch to gain the upper hand and steal from others.
Considering that you knew fully well that you weren't allowed to do that and lied about it in the sit I have decided to update the 1 week ban to a 3 week ban.
Using other people's bans to try and justify/get your ban reduced is also not viable in my opinion. Every situation is different. You knew fully well what you were doing in that moment.
From my standpoint the 3 weeks are fully justified.
Nevertheless I wish you a great day.
Regards
Emp
