● Reasons as to why you feel you deserve an unban:

I've just received a temporary ban from an admin that I believe was being unreasonable. I understand the rule with owning up that this is my account and it doesn't matter that my friend was playing. I'm completely fine with this rule. Once I noticed the admin in the chat I immediately told my friend to stop so I could reply. He's playing in VR so it's not exactly easy for me to notice the chat when he's playing.

At the beginning it was fine. I asked what happened and he told me the problem and I told my friend what he did. I use a wheel rig and my friend doesn't know all my bindings so he wasn't able to start his car and move in time to move for a chase that was happening. He's not tech savvy and he's got a VR headset on playing a racing sim. Again that's on me and I let my friend know what he did so won't do it again. But please cut him some slack. Nothing about what he did was malicious. Just ignorance.

My main issue with this admin was that after the admin told me everything and I told him that I got it and I told him that I let my friend know what he did wrong. Everything was done as far as I knew but then the admin decided to have what I felt was a power trip by publicly tagging my name and saying "Understand?" about 30 seconds later to me like I was a child. I told him to chill and that I already told him I understood and that my friend knew and that I was done with the conversation. This resulted in an immediate ban.

I'm not exactly a veteran to this server but I'm definitely not new to it either. When I was learning and first joined this server I never encountered somebody acting like this. They'd let me know the issue and we'd move on if I ever did anything. I'd then never have that issue again. But as I stated I definitely feel like whoever banned me was 100% unreasonable about this situation.

The literal reason for me being banned was "Learn to respect the admins" and they literally JUST added two more days to my ban as I was typing this. I wasn't being disrespectful to this person. I was just asking them to have a little respect for somebody who is new like everybody else has been in the past. This wasn't even a case of him not knowing the rules. I taught him to stay on the left and to stay out of the way of chases and sirens. He just killed his car and didn't know how to restart the car.

If the ban stands I understand there is nothing I can do but I'm just asking to please be reasonable. I've shown nothing but respect to everybody on this server from day one.

Also just to play it safe from now on my friend isn't allowed to play on this server again. I'll let him play in single player if he wants but this server is off limits and that's a promise on my part.
