Name: Bonzai Steam ID: 76561198803094420 Ban Reason: Doxxing Date of Ban: 02/21/2024 Length of Ban: Perma Staff Member(s) Involved: Xaze Reason(s) why we should accept your appeal: After talking with some friends who still play, I’ve decided to appeal my ban once again. I’m not here to say “I didn’t mean to” or downplay what happened — I messed up. I shared a DM that was sent to me with multiple people, and that was a stupid, thoughtless decision. To the person that DM was about, I’m genuinely sorry. I made the excuse that I thought it wasn't a real Doxx when that's not the point. If you ever need anything, my DMs are open. I’m not going to make excuses. I made a bad choice, and I’ve learned the hard way what the consequences are. All I ask for is a chance to show that I’ve changed, to make things right with those who remember me, and to start off on the right foot with those I haven’t met yet.g Evidence to support your claims:

Name: Bonzai Steam ID: 76561198803094420 Ban Reason: Community ban (Doxxing) Date of Ban: 02/21/2024 Length of Ban: Perma Staff Member(s) Involved: Management? (Xaze for sure) Reason(s) why we should accept your appeal: As this was a while ago I think I should explain the situation before saying anything. One day me and Poker (Dylan) were sitting in a discord when he sent me what I thought was a fake doxx of a community member, I forwarded it to 2-3 people and later that day I was playing Osu while AFK in game and someone joined my TS call to say I was community banned, when I tabbed back in it was true. Xaze then pulled me into his channel and explained that he “Didn’t want this to become a happy birthday thing and have people actually try to Doxx people”. I later found out that Poker had, in the past, had legit doxxes. I want to make it clear that had I known this I would have cut contact with him as I do not want to be any part of anything like that. What I had thought I had shared was a fake Doxx that was purely meant to have a shock value and I never meant to hurt or scare anyone (I’m still under the assumption that it was fake but with this new info I can’t be 100% sure). I genuinely miss the community and want to get back into sinking countless hours into making trainings and simulations for everyone to enjoy. I hope you all as a community can forgive me for my transgressions and remember the good things I did/had a hand in creating on the server. Due to being in high level Esports I’ve had PR training and immature slips such as this are a thing of the past (for proof purposes here’s my Liquipedia: https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Goose). I’d like to especially apologize to the community member that was affected (You know who you are) because fake or not I’m sure hearing that there’s a Doxx about you is not the most exciting news and I hate to think that I caused someone to be put in a situation like that. Unrelated to my ban I’d like to apologize to Kaiser. I know about a month before my ban our relationship had gotten better but I treated you like shit before that and acted in a very poor way towards you and while I’m laying all my cards on the table I wanted to air this out, I know you were just trying to do your job and I would get in your way and be disrespectful. I just hope the entire community can see that I'm serious about coming back and doing good on the server, I've been a community member since 2017 so I hope you can all see that this was just a stupid mistake that I paid the price for. If any community members had any questions before they make their vote feel free to ask and I will respond as quickly as I can. Evidence to support your claims: All messages that were sent were forwarded to the proper people and will not be shared here.

+1 CT ARC when tho?

I'll give you my +1 but I also gotta do this.... @Dennis

+1 I like that episode :)

Kaiser made a good point but I want my RT so +1

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but this was originally a 4th arrest ban then after I said what I said I had it extended it to 5 days. What you're saying here is just false. Here this may help a quote from Kaiser from in the clip itself "it is still a ban for a day for four plus arrests, it's only 24 hours"

yes, im just asking for a reduction forgot to mention that my bad

I didn't mass RDM.... it was a 4th arrest ban. This was also the day after that incident

Name: Bonzai Steam ID: 76561198803094420 Ban Reason: Banned for derogatory laungage and disrespect (originally Hate Speech) Date of Ban: idk original ban was on 5th Length of Ban: originally 5 days and now as of this date (11th) 10 days Staff Member(s) Involved: Kaiser, Gohn Reason(s) why we should accept your appeal: I see no reason why my ban was extended to 14/15 days. none of this is in the ban guidelines (guidelines state that what I did is a 7 day ban) so I decided to contact the HA involved and was told its because of my PO, I've played on the server since 2017 and was told "you contribute no good to the server". I admit I let my emotions get the best of me but this seems to be a situation that was blown out of proportion, it started as a 5 day ban then was extended to over double the proper ban length per the guidelines. it feels as if Kaiser has it out for me as he was attempting to get me perma banned as the name of the clip is "Bonzai Perma Request". I simply want to return to the server and play with my friends this weekend. Supporting evidence: Here is the clip from Kaisers POV *Disclaimer Slurs are in this Video about 4 mins in* I also have the video downloaded if it is deleted but notice the name of the clip "Bonzai Perma Request" https://medal.tv/games/garrys-mod/clips/1CihYjOk6dm_cl/d1337LBh3mtT?invite=cr-MSxGdGIsMTg0NDIyNTY2LA Ban Guidelines for those who dont know Discord message which includes the quote above and My PO's (Small glimpse as its all i got) keep in mind my Tons are spanning back YEARS

+1 I don't understand why this decision was ever made in the first place.

yes, because "Don't make fun of me I'm autistic" was my copy and paste you fuckin moron

-1... don't think I need to elaborate

-1, I definitely see where you're coming from but the descriptions are like a mark of pride for some people. It's kinda like a gift that high staff can give. You may say that I'm only saying this because I want to be one of the people with a description but mine ain't exactly the most flattering. Also you used the word cringe unironically in your post and that's yucky

I think you're the annoying one <3 love you hanz +1
