Admin Required SCP-RP (USA) - Ban Appeal - Kuma

[TheNorseman]

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

Your in-game name: Kuma

Your SteamID: STEAM_0:0:65862762

Ban Reason: MRDM

Date of ban: 03/30/2026

Who banned you: Mitchel B \'Duck\' James(STEAM_0:0:155466171)

Ban length: 1 week 21 hours 38 minutes

What will you do to stop this from happening again: I am honestly unaware of what I have been banned for. I never committed any RDM let alone MRDM—as far as I am aware. I remember playing and this guy was near me and said he was going to snitch that I had a gun or something, and D-Class are criminals, so I killed him. I know there was a couple other tussles I got into if I remember correctly, but I wasn't even on when I was banned. I was not spoken to by any admins while I was active. My recollection is hazy, so I'm also looking to see what exactly happened because I genuinely was just RP-ing so—I'm confused.

Why should you be unbanned: I'm not malicious, I was just RP-ing in a manner that seemed appropriate for a death row inmate—taking out "rats" especially when they audibly say it to you, getting into a seemingly mutually-agreed skirmish, and so on. I mean rules are rules so it is what it is at the end of the day, but could I at least be informed on the context?

Hello @TheNorseman, I am Mitchel or the staff member that issued this ban. This was issued March 30th - after receiving notice of a couple of individuals who had done some MRDM the day before. Upon loading in I reviewed a few logs that we had, and noted down a couple of individuals who initiated combat first, I then counted out the number of times combat was initiated on fellow team members.

After doing the above I noted down those who had hit 4 or more initiated combats, those that had an excess amount received 2 week bans for the above (MRDM), while I do apologize that it was issued offline, all penalties got issued a day after the incident occurred.

With the above stated, I will no longer be commenting or adding anything else to your appeal, and I wish you the best of luck with this appeal.

Well what could the conditions for "initiating combat" be?

If someone is shooting at me and missing their shots, and I manage to get the first hit, is the context of me getting shot at going to be considered, or in the logs?

Issuing 2 week long bans without regard to the context of any of the initiations of combat seems a bit excessive. But you're the boss.
