Name: Galavick (Avatar Name)
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:55173708
Reason for ban: "Threats to Hack / Hacking / Exploitation of Files
Picture of ban:
Why you should be unbanned: Whew here comes a long post. Well though I may have been searching for any backdoor files, I wasn't intending of any reason to do anything terrible of the sorts, as I have assisted many servers in the past, finding backdoor scrips hidden in downloads, and usually letting an admin or higher know before it may get out of the hand. I worked with ForcedGaming, a StarWarsRP Server and I helped them from it as well, and they seemed to appreciate it. Usually with my roommate, also a script manager for the game community as RUST and having our own servers we manage called Knights Table. I find it usually more or less interesting on how scripts are processed and how secret can they be, usually just being in a backdoor for quite some time before anyone can really notice, but besides the point. It was around Midnight to 1AM Pacific Standard Time where I had a few beers, being slightly trolly, and checked around to see most of the job listings to see what I want to do to further progress in the server. I pushed F1 and noticed that there was already multiple commands with similar actions as does DarkRP, such as switching jobs to allow a single person to replace your job, and the obvious sleeping action and dropping money action, etc. With that I wanted to see if the Server had anything else for it, checking a few commands through console that (most downloads) would have a script file over. I wasn't trying to hack into anything and mostly was testing on if there was anything bad or not that I could have told at that time. Though this is your server, I am not going to bend on both knees and beg for my ban to be appealed, though you all seemed to be rather enjoyable to have around, and even before I left to Play PubG, I asked if anyone liked to join, and took some PT with a Spartan (The name I cannot remember at this time) and they all were good sports about it. To wrap it up. I wasn't trying to threaten the Server, Hack the Server, or exploit anything for my own wants and needs. If I had actually done something that did breach to Admin Commands, I could see why the ban, but I have not even gotten anything besides basic DarkRP commands that is still registered as acceptable. Anyways, at least an answer would be nice as well. Been already busy with Steam Support for the weekend to recover my account, and got VAC Banned from CS:GO, so already trying to appeal for that (Which I doubt there will be anything to help with since they do not appeal with VAC Bans, but I might as well try)
Cheers
-Galavick.

If I can remember, I was just checking for other actions and scripts that was around, One person said I could get banned, but I also told him that my reasons wasn't going to damage the server in any way. No one said much and after a minute or more, I decided that I wanted a small break and Play PubG. I just came back later to find out I was banned, so the entire reason was probably from a miss-understanding.

Hi, I don't play on HaloRP but taking note from it's high population spikes meaning staffing gets more complicated which could lead them to a lower tolerance and patience for users. I'm guessing a staff member under these circumstances and pressure must've misjudge what you stated by "Other actions or scripts.". Mistakes happen to all of us..I really do hope this situation gets resolved peacefully. I really also do hope that this ban hasn't negatively affected the way you think about the community or server. As I stated before mistakes do happen.

Pssssh, don't worry about it. I 100% get low tolerances and little to no patience from the most likely waves and waves of minges and trolls that flood into servers time to time. I always had a positive outlook on things and don't mind any mistakes that happened, since it's also somewhat my own fault for going so far. Obviously there was no intention from me to do anything bad, but usually it's better to be safe and ban and apologize for the mistake rather than the entire server taking a blunt of a DDOS or Hacking attack that might take the server days or even weeks to repair. Personally, dont go hard on the guy who made the decision, Hell I would have done it too if I was in that position myself. Guy who left who was snooping around scripts, files, and doing sketchy things. As I have learned, it's better to beg forgiveness rather than asking permission.

It's just my opinion that we should talk to the staff member who banned him and see his side of the story.

I said that about Adele, lets wait for her ex's side of the story.

Props, to whoever gets that reference..

Moving on we do need to hear the staff's side as well.

As a former staff member of halo, going into a servers files without permission is a direct attack to the server and looking around snooping is considered hacking, and now coming back asking to be let into the server you just attempted to hack in is not going to go well since you have broke the trust that was given to you when you joined the server. I would not recommend allowing him back but if he gets permission from BoD I would recommend reducing his time or by letting him back in but must call an admin and have one watch over him to make sure he doesn't do it again.

Last statement is that staff don't get overwhelmed with the amount of people at least during my time we didn't worry much about being overwhelmed but focused on how much the people enjoyed the server so when we get someone that minging or stuff like that we had their head officer bitch at them you know. 1 staff member should be able to handle at least 50 people or less, but ever since the golden ages and people left on the server the training for staff has gone down and stuff like that.

Well I know I did something wrong and that there may be little to no chance for me to get another chance, but I will let you know that if I do, I won't abuse the trust you are willing to give me. Also as my previous post, I have no hard feelings for you declining my Appeal for any reasons, as I am fully aware that even snooping around gives warrant for suspicion, and I sure well passed that line. I take full responsibility on what I did, and if you are willing to give me that chance, I won't disappoint. I will ask any other questions you may have as well by request as well if it comes up, other than that, I will wait for verdict on my Appeal.
