Mistakes were made, but sometimes sorry doesn't cut it. Anyway overall people make mistakes, make decisions that they look at in the future, and regret it, or just say to them self, "wow I can't believe I did that." Overall people should get another chance, depending on the situation, and that's why I am +1 this. Don't make me regret this, anyway good luck with your ban appeal.
-1 They don't have to join a battalion if they don't want to. Seems like you're enforcing them to join one. It's completely their choice if they want to or not. It's up to them, if they want to RP as a 101st, then let them. Overall some people in CT, or 101st are minges, but actually there are some players who love being a CT, also try to be a regular trooper as if they were in an actual battalion such as Socks, and Mike. In my opinion CTs should have ranks, because they are equal as us!
I mean come on dude you should know posting porn on a server is bad. I don't know if common sense is with you there with you all the way but in my opinion just wait and serve your time.
