Ban Appeal

[Arth]

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time and making an appeal.

Firstly, in this answer to your appeal, I will be basing my comments on the video you have provided when you made the RDM report, which you have not linked in your appeal.

I have placed you into a sit before banning you and explained to you why you were going to be punished. Once I had told you everything I directed you to the forums.
You have been previously warned for minging, which is what constitutes the PO implemented in your ban reason, which you haven't listed in your appeal. Your punishment was also advised by higher staff members.

Your notes related to Minging:
ARDM | NITRP | Ban next warn
NLR | Minging

Additionally, when the clip started the altercation was already visible, this indicated to me that other harassment had happened previously. This was then later confirmed as I finished watching the clip. In the clip, you approach your microphone and start yelling WOMEN WOMEN. Although this might be a normal attitude for an immature person, you were engaging in an out-of-character altercation. Like you said yourself "she is a bitch both OOC and IC". You and your friend repeatedly harassed this woman by calling her a woman and insulting her.

Once she magged dumped you right between the eyes you decided to make a ticket and report her for RDM. I truly believe it is evident that you were baiting a reaction out of this person she took the bait and ended your short life. Mic spamming and insulting someone over something so irrelevant to then get killed and make an RDM ticket could end up in the definition of  "RDM Bait". As well here are so rules that represent this situation:

2. Harassment: Whilst we advocate for Freedom of Speech and have very little limitation on what can and cannot be said, Repeated verbal or text abuse to a player of any kind after being made aware is causing them discomfort is considered harassment, know where to draw the line. (Global Rules, Pendred, 12-12-2021)

7. Do not bait someone to shoot/RDM/RDA you (Server Rules, General Rules, Diverge, 12-02-2021)

I have also been made aware that your friend, who has the same name format as you (xxxx 'O), had made a report on that person in similar situations where he said "I killed a Woman" (x2) (cringiest shit I've ever seen) to then report her for NLR when she called him a faggot at hospital. Note that he has been also banned in the same situation.

You also said that staff was biased towards the female. I am Muslim, so haram. You said that you got banned for RDM bait and used it as an argument that I was being biased against you, which is irrelevant as you should be defending why RDM Bait is an invalid punishment. Also, how could I not care about the fact you got RDMed when you made a ticket about RDM. The RDM was the first thing I looked into when you made your report. I also have no clue what you mean by "the dms of the girl and her pictures".

Like I said during the sit, as a staff, I evaluated the situation. If you would have called her a bitch and would have gotten killed then it would have been RDM. But in the clip provided we hear a very squeaky voice shouting "WOMEN" and "GET TIED WOMEN". Again it is evident that you were harassing that person and were waiting for a reaction to make an RDM sit. If the person was a guy and you would have harassed him I would have given the same punishment since rules are rules.

Now that I have finished answering your appeal. I would like to let you know that if you plan on "having fun" by interfering in an RP situation and harassing people for the most simple-minded reasons then you will be caught. And this is an example for people who think they can loop around rules to have things turned their way. Staff is not that stupid. Please, either move on to another server and come back when you have matured or play the server like everyone else.

Thank you very much.

If you read my appeal, you would understand my reasoning that you're being biased. The girl was pointing a gun at me IN FRONT OF A POLICE OFFICER, and the officer didn't do anything. You and fishman also banned both my friend and me for reporting an RDM. RDM Bait does not make any sense, on my behalf I would really like to play this game without being rdmed, and this girl shoots me for disrespecting her. Do you understand the FRP behind that? Do you think its allowed In Real Life to shoot somebody for harassment without punishment? She also left to avoid punishment since she killed me right in front of a police officer for no reason. I did not bait her to shoot me, and you're just saying another cover up reason to ban me. You guys didn't care and you didn't even listen to our side of the story. Fish Man banned my friend for RDM and Metagaming. Metagaming, which is false. If Fish Man actually listened to my friends side, he wouldn't of been banned. I lost my gun due to an rdmer so I got mad and got off my PC. I talked to my friend on phone over discord and my friend even said that, although Fish Man just didn't care and didn't even listen fully. My friend also got banned for RDM, although this is not true. My friend (one of my faction higher ups,) SAW ME GET KILLED BY THE GIRL, and the girl didn't change her clothes, didn't even change her position either. So as he is part of the faction that I am in, and witnessed me being killed by the girl, my friend is allowed to kill her. Keep in mind, Fish Man was AFK for about 10 minutes while my friend was talking, and when he came back he just decided to ban him.
