DwayneIsSorry Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Ingame Name: Dwayne Why do you think you were banned?: Did some stupid stuff over a year ago in a one off thing. Why (in your personal opinion) should your ban be lifted?: Because short of what I did I've never shown any hatred or tried to abuse the community in any way. I always tried to communicate through the forums and give feedback on whatever I could. Which administrator banned you (ArmA 3 only)?: No idea When were you banned?: About October 2015? Extra bit from me - Yeah what I did was stupid and I sure as hell regret it but I can't change the past. I've apologized before and I apologize now. I played on your community for over 6 months after returning with no issues at all, in fact the majority of the community can vouch for me on that. I suggested adding some British gear and we had a great discussion on that, we also discussed arsenal changes with no issues at all. I strive for everything I do in this community to be constructive and not useless criticism. I still even watch your AhoyWorld streams on twitch and have chats with the streamer, and given that I'm 1 of only sometimes 2 or 3 viewers I'd say that's some strong ass dedication right there! P.S. You guys banned my buddy Alex Gambino because I'm guessing you thought it was me on a different account? He's never done anything malicious on your community so even if you don't want me here, at least consider him? But yeah to summarize - really sorry, can I come back? I'm open to any questions!

David Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Great ban appeal & thank you for filling it in (almost) correctly. I'll keep this short, tell the truth or we'll not even consider it, we appreciate honesty here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep this short, tell the truth or we'll not even consider it, we appreciate honesty here. Cheers for the response David. As far as I can recall this is the truth, I posted some pretty stupid-ass stuff on the forums and got a ban for it. Then I came back a few months later (without ban appealing) and played happily with you guys but I guess someone still wanted me banned. This time I'm trying to go down the legitimate route! If there's anything you feel I'm missing out let me know below or PM me I don't mind, I'll try and elaborate on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about everything, not just dancing around the subject. This is your one and only chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneIsSorry Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 How about everything, not just dancing around the subject. This is your one and only chance. Okay... I posted a pretty bad picture (not gonna link it because trust me you don't want to see it) in the general discussion and changed my username to King. My friend (can't recall his username) also created an alternate account as Raz (the community manager) and posted an image of a gay man claiming to be him. Then that (as you'd expect) got me banned from the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Would you also agree that you then made additional accounts and lied to us about who you were for several months? It was only when I became suspicious about your identity that I launched my own investigation which proved who you really were. You lied in the first, second and third instance you were banned/re-banned and in the fourth instance here only now coming partially clean after I pushed you for it. So far since you were banned in March you have this on your rap sheet. - Homophobic. - Racist. - Goading the administration staff. - Insulting on several occasions. - Ban evasion throughout. - Lying throughout. - Breaking numerous EU3 rules So tell me, after all this, as a community who values honesty above all else, why should we unban you now? laforte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest with you David, yes I did lie about who I was but only because I was trying to prolong the inevitable. I was really getting into the swing of EU#3 and making friends so I didn't want to abruptly get banned and bring all that to a halt. While it may not of been the wisest decision I'm sure you see my reasoning. I apologize for my comments and actions on the night and I apologize for evading a ban without going through the necessary procedures. Because I've come clean with you and I respect your decision to actually read my appeal and not dismiss it. If you do unban me I look forward to becoming an active member of the community again. Once again, I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 In this appeal you were given plenty of chances to come fully clean and yet each time you replied it was simply an agreement with what Dave told you. The purpose of a ban appeal is to confess what you have done willingly and fully because you want to be unbanned and start a fresh, as such it is pointless even posting if the staff member has to tell you what you have done for you to admit to it. Based on the extensive list of offences and the failure to openly admit what you did before being pressed to do so I am going to have to conclude that on this occasion the ban will remain. - Danny (Community Referee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
