Your in-game name: Cleetus
Your SteamID: STEAM_0:1:67351845
Your steam community link: https://steamcommunity.com/id/coopacarp/
Date of ban: Wed. Nov 16
What is your exact ban reason (shows when you try to connect): Macros [A]
Who banned you: Eric "Epicap" Cappington
Ban length?: 7 days
What server were you banned on?: (SCP-RP UK or SCP-RP USA): SCP-RP USA
Link a copy of the in-game rules here (the url): https://www.civilgamers.com/community/threads/scp-rp-rules.2244/
What will you do to stop this from happening again: I won't use my macro that spams "A and D", or any like it.
Prior to this, have you ever been warned/kicked/banned?: Never
Why should you be unbanned: I should be unbanned because if someone had taken the time to wait until I came back, I could've easily and very happily explained that I had been up for a very long time waiting in teamspeak for my staff interview and when I had 20 minutes left on a breach que for 035, I made the mistake of laying in my bed and I decided to put on a macro (not aware it's against the rules) that just shakes me side to side, I accidentally passed out and wake up an hour later to this ban message being on my screen which was super devastating especially since I was also informed I have a 3 month long staff blacklist, this is even more upsetting given that I have spent a lot of time trying to build a nice reputation for myself, studying the rules, etc and it all got thrown down the toilet because, in my opinion, I got banned for a rule that isn't even in the rules and was super minor, I can understand a warn for it but a 1 week ban because I made a bind that pushes A and D every now and then guys, come on, 1.22 was made for people that make actual game changing scripts, not my tiny afk macro. I did not intend to break any rules at all and I can guarantee you that I NEVER would use a macro if I knew it was against the rules. After I woke up and saw the message I went ahead and read the rules to make sure I was correct in saying it wasn't against the rules to use a simple bind to move side to side (bear in mind I didn't even need to use this bind because the player pop wasn't very close to full and I never would have been AFK kicked even if I didn't use it) and after reading the closest rule I could find was:
1.22 Bug/Script Abuse - Don’t hack, script, or abuse glitches. Don’t do anything that can be seen as giving you an unfair advantage over other players.
Now I already know you are probably going to say "scripting" is the same as what I did but it is so far from what I did and the macro I use gave me no unfair advantage over another player. This rule is made out to say basically "don't cheat" and if we are going to say that using a macro that moves me side to side when I get tired or have to pee, is an unfair advantage or is such a crime that it is punishable by a week long ban and a 3 month staff blacklist, I really wish you guys would put that absolutely NO macros are allowed, even if it doesn't give an unfair advantage over other players, because this ghost rule I got banned for has put a terrible stain on my record and cost me my potential ability to become staff. If you've seen me on the server or even slightly know me, you know I would never purposefully break any rule let alone one that is so severe it would cause this harsh of a punishment and cost me quite a bit on the server. I am hoping whoever reviews this takes into consideration everything I have said here and acts like a human with some compassion, sees I clearly meant no harm, and sees I just made a non-harmful, stupid mistake and was not aware that what I did would fall under scripting in the rules and I hope you try to see this from my point of view, that is all I ask of you. Thanks for your time.
P.S. If this ban does get lifted I would greatly appreciate if I received a message letting me know whether or not the staff blacklist is also lifted in turn. Thanks again
How can you ensure that you won't break any other rule?: If you guys decide to be compassionate and give me a 2nd chance, I will never use anything that even remotely resembles a script on the server again and if I even think about it I will 100% run it by staff first. Obviously even if you keep the ban I will never use anything close to a script on the server again.
Why do you want to rejoin this server?:[/b] Because I have enjoyed the community so much and I feel that the punishments given to me for a macro that was so minor and not game changing and that isn't even clearly stated in the rules is honestly shameful and I feel it is absolutely unfair to do that to someone who tries to follow every rule by the book and tries to make sure everyone else does the same. Handing me a warn so I knew the rule would have been more than enough to deter me from ever using a macro again, this is just way too much for this infraction.
