Jerk

A Little Darkly
Name When Banned: ⁻ᴰᴳᴺ⁻ Jerk <3
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:48835833
Game: Team Fortress 2
Server: Toronto DARKLY Trade #2
Ban Reason: Exploit of Map/Game

State your case: Hello, as many of you know, I really love this server, so I'm just going to start off by stating that I would never by any means attempt to ruin or lower anyone's experience in darkly. This is my first offense, and is a very serious, matter: I was using commands that I should not have been able to use. Unfortunately for me, admins looking through the logs would not be able to see what I would say in between using these commands (as my usage was rare). I would use the !slay command only when someone was interfering with a spycrab or other similar event, and I would use the !sm_team command if they persisted. I thoroughly apologize for any of my misconduct and promise wholeheartedly to never use any commands again. I also would use the !swap command, which I was unaware was against the rules until very recently. Another point, is whenever I would use the slay command or sm_team command, I would warn the player extensively beforehand and ask them politely to stop interfering. I saw myself as something of a moderator, which I am not. In the future, I have very thoroughly learned that I need to contact an admin to deal with these issues, instead of trying to deal with them myself. Hopefully my appeal appeals to you admins, and hopefully I can return with my head held high in the future, I am not asking necessarily for a full revoking of my sentence, but rather: a shortened one. My ban from (my all time favorite tf2 server) is timed at 1 month. I wish to have it reduced to in-between a day and a week. Thank you for taking the time to read over my case.

@Tick Tock Man is the one who's looking through the logs and banning the appropriate parties. I've messaged him on Steam and asked him to come provide some clarity.

You know abusing the commands is not allowed - it would be one thing if you had stuck to using them on yourself, but slaying and resizing other players...what did you think was going to happen?

Any further comment made by me is no longer intended to reduce my ban duration, but rather to explain my misconduct and hopefully restore/improve my standing with the darkly community. The re-sizing commands used by me were used under the false understanding that the commands were part of the Premium capabilities. When I re-sized everyone in the server on server #5 I did so because I was asked to, and because I thought I was allowed to via premium membership. I know this is a hearsay argument that bears little to no support, but please be understanding and try to forgive my misconduct and believe that I will never break another rule on Darkly again. Again, I reiterate: I am stating this not to reduce or revoke my sentence, but to improve or replenish my standing within a great and friendly community.

To re-iterate from another post:

No command available in Premium or the Store before it allowed you to target other players....not a single one.
I'm not that worried about you resizing yourself (though you are supposed to use the menu, the size limitations built into the menu have a purpose) - it was when you started targeting other players that I have a problem with.

You are a smart guy Jerk, I find it difficult to accept that this dynamic did not occur to you.......if you were one of the masses of jibbering brain-dead 8 year olds, that story might hold a little more water - but you obviously have more going on upstairs than that.

Anyway, it seems you got the point - I trust there will be no further incidents in kind?


@Shotgun Jesus - Can this be moved to the appropriate TF2 section - thanks!

Yes, I have very clearly appreciated the consequences of my actions. I know that this is still a weak point and reflects badly on me, but I didn't know that the commands were not part of premium benefits because I did not read through the benefits or the rules of the server until recently. Thank you for being understanding and regarding this appeal so concisely and properly.
