Your in-game name: David Moffett

Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:82361262

Your steam community link: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198124988252/

Date of ban: Jul 23 2023

What is your exact ban reason (shows when you try to connect): Severe Tox Stacked Bans

Who banned you: "Wintekowa" STEAM_0:1:164211367

Ban length?: 1 week 6 days 19 hours 39 minutes (time left)

What server were you banned on?: (SCP-RP UK or SCP-RP USA): SCP-RP UK

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 will put more thought into what I say and not get bothered by unnecessary comments

Prior to this, have you ever been warned/kicked/banned?: I have been banned, kicked and warned many times prior to this appeal

Why should you be unbanned: Because finally I look back at what I said in shame. I haven't taken any active steps to better my behaviour until recently. For some time now, I have been very sensitive to what other people say (hence the plethora of warnings) and when someone throws a snag comment poking fun at my background, I fight fire with fire.

I'm not trying to deflect any blame, because at the end of the day I was also the one saying racist shit. But for those of you weighing the decision on whether or not I get to play on the server again, understand that what I said wasn't totally unprovoked. I'm not gonna talk about the situation in great detail because both me and the other guy who was involved, said some pretty crude things that would be unnecessary to repeat here.

I just want to make it known that I feel that what I said doesn't represent me at all. If I could wind back the clock, I would've made sure to not even amass the amount of warns I have now. Since the day I was banned, I have been pondering on the possibility that maybe I've just always been a jerk to people in the server.

At times where I suffered from severe anxiety due to the heavy course load at school, I would seek comfort in a lot of things, one of them being CN. Having come to this realization, I couldn't possibly imagine conciously ruining others' fun on the server.

On the whole, I just feel like my conduct on the server has been discourteous and churlish at best. In a way, I'm glad I got banned, because it ushered me into a period of self-reflection where I finally looked inward. Most of the shit that I dwelled on these last few weeks, is water under the bridge, but I feel like I'm finally starting to change. I feel like I have a much more positive outlook on life. I think school definitely amplified my already existing anger problems, and when you have a platform to spread your negativity without facing any repercussions, well, you can imagine what happens.

How can you ensure that you won't break any other rule?: If I ever get bored of playing on the server, I'll make sure to take some time off the game and go to the gym, read a book or do something else worth my time.

Why do you want to rejoin this server?: Primarily for the fun and the community; I've felt like more conventional games* have gotten a bit boring due to the lack of interaction with other people. And since you guys have helped foster such an amazing community, I've really been longing after playing here again. I also want to reach out to the guy who was involved in the kerfuffle and try to apologize for what I said (he was also banned for severe tox, so maybe if you remember who he was, you could give me his username, Wintekowa)

Irregardless of whether or not I get unbanned, I promise to dedicate all of my time on the server towards cultivating an environment where EVERYONE can have fun and, most importantly, feel safe.

Hello David.

I do not frankly remember the circumstances or the specific words that caused me to ban you, This ban was so long ago that I don’t even remember what I did that day other than staff work, Forgive me for my bad memory because as of now I cannot provide you a response with the details of your ban from my side.
Hey, Archangel!

I didn't expect for you to remember the ins and outs of the whole ordeal, but I assure you, had there been anything else worth knowing about the situation, I'm sure you would've mentioned it in my ban.

I do remember writing "don't be a nazi" in OOC chat briefly before receiving the ban; maybe this jogs your memory? If not, thanks for at least taking the time to write back to me :)

Warm regards,

Appeal Denied

Hi @David Moffett

Thanks for taking the time to make an appeal. At CG we have a zero tolerance for severe toxicity given that you have owned up to the mistake and without the proper context behind it. It is truly appreciated but the ban will be justified and the punishment will remain due to the nature of the rule break.
Kind regards

Hey, Scotsman!

So is part of the issue here that I didn't provide the context of the ban?
(it's not nearly as severe as you'd think, I msged you, I think Archangel can attest to what I wrote you)

Warm regards,
