Who blacklisted you (if known): unsure?
To the best of your knowledge, why were you blacklisted: As far as my understanding and memory allows me to go, I was blacklisted for being a member of an alleged group of people who had 'doxxed' somebody within the server - this person was one of our own friends. I do not personally recall taking direct part in the doxxing, nor saying his name; but in either essence of the situation no more was said than a first name - if I recall correctly. There was never any mention of personal information, such as home address etc, nor other adjacent information; there is doubt as to whether the group of people even used his last name, to this I am unsure.
It must be considered that this all has happened a long while ago, and thus memory is relatively scattered.
It must also be mentioned that at the time of this incident, I was also not informed in the slightest of what had occurred, only learning that I had been blacklisted and the genuine gravity of the situation through the grapevine - I had also received an instant removal from the discord server; I was given no opportunity to provide my own perspective, upon which I am sure there would have been a greater understanding. In fact, the only reason this amnesty has not been made sooner was due to real life occupations, which have ultimately been the cause of this delay.
List any times you have used methods to change or hide your IP: This has occurred once before, upon which I was blacklisted - although this has since been rectified.
List any alt accounts: None that are related to GMOD.
Prior to this, have you ever been warned/kicked/banned/blacklisted: I have a mild record on the several, the specifics of which I am unsure due to the time since. As aforementioned, I have been blacklisted once for mistaken VPN issues.
What will you do to stop this from happening again: In order to prevent similar instances from happening again, I will not only choose my company on the server with more care and consideration to their interests, but I will also attempt to better integrate into the structures of the server to avoid partaking in such activity.
I must reiterate that I never held an intention to cause harm through my actions whatever they were truthfully, and thus it will not be difficult to take greater precautions when engaging in some downtime tomfoolery.
Why should you be unblacklisted: I believe that I should be unblacklisted as I have been a long standing member of civil networks, and as suggested from above, I hold no true malicious intent to cause harm to any member of the server. I have recently finished my obligations for the summer, and hold a free couple of months before life starts again - I would be overjoyed to recommit to a server which I once held so dear.
Moreover, I was blacklisted I believe well over a year ago - I have since spoke to the individual and we had made amends surrounding the situation - from what I recall it was a genuine misunderstanding upon the circumstances in which it was acceptable to use our first names; something which I do with all my close friends.
Again, I also apologise for any distress this may have caused the wider community, but I am eager to return and see how the community has progressed!
Thank you for your consideration.
