- Hello Dear TC

I recently received a 28-day ban from the platform without any explanation regarding the specific reasons behind this action. I genuinely believe I have not engaged in any behavior that would warrant such a penalty, especially one of this duration. I would kindly request the ban to be lifted, if possible, or at the very least, an explanation as to why such a decision was made and the rationale behind the 28-day duration.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and appreciate your time and assistance.

You were involved in another one of your classic "tank" chases in which both you and the cops were using a lot of force. I reminded everyone not to use excessive force and left it at that.

After that chase ended, I spectated you after you were upset in chat about a different fine. Checking the replay, it turns out you had been following and harassing another cop, then decided to drive the wrong way into pits (this is also against the rules) before paying the fine. You then immediately full throttle rammed them until they were out of your way.

You have been warned and banned multiple times recently about your conduct. I do not know how we can help you unless you change your behaviour. Think about the type of chases you get involved with and if they are a wise idea or exist only to create problems. This server should be fun, not make you angry.

Do you understand why you are banned now?

Firstly, I'd like to clarify that my intent on this server is purely to have fun and immerse myself in the roleplay environment. Unfortunately, some misunderstandings may have occurred, particularly regarding the recent tank chase. I felt that as the level of force used against me by the police increased, I had to respond in kind just to keep up. I acknowledge that my actions may have crossed the line, but it’s important to note that I was primarily reacting to the high level of force directed at me.

I believe that only I receiving a 28-day ban as a consequence of this incident is somewhat disproportionate, especially considering that I was on the receiving end of a significant amount of force. I acknowledge that driving the wrong way in the pit lane was against the rules, but I saw it as a minor, in-character infraction within the spirit of roleplay and had no intention to disrupt gameplay.

I understand that rules are essential for the enjoyment and harmony of the server, and I’m truly sorry for any issues my actions may have caused. Moving forward, I commit to staying well within the guidelines and avoiding escalations, regardless of the force directed towards me. My goal is to be a positive part of the community, ensuring the server remains a fun, stress-free environment for everyone.

Thank you for considering my perspective, and I kindly ask if my ban duration could be reconsidered. I would be very grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate a renewed commitment to following the rules and contributing positively to the server.

Best regards

Hello,

As you requested, I have taken time to consider your ban length.

I am aware that your tank chases can become messy for all parties, so I verbally warned everyone (both cops and suspects) to be careful with their use of force in chases, and I know you saw this as you reacted in chat. I felt this was the most fair way to initially deal with this.

Your tank chase was not why you were banned. Later, you then ram a cop after a different chase ended, against a cop who had not used any force against you. This was disproportionate from your side and it was why you were removed from the server.

You have been both warned and banned for your use of force as a suspect before. The fact you are still doing it tells me you have not learned.

Thank you for your honesty, you should still aim to avoid breaking these rules.

As I said before, this is a good time to consider the type of gameplay you wish to be involved with when you play here. Are your tank chases truly fun for you, or do they cause problems and stress that encourage you to break rules?

I will reduce your ban by 50% as you have committed to staying within the rules. Please do not disappoint me.
