Sheep's TTT Appeal

[Sheep]

Server: TTT

SteamID: STEAM_0:0:56835942

Reason for ban: Harrasment through spray + Doxxing

Issuing staff member: Aeyon

Ban length: Permanent

 

Appeal:

Hi all,

Firstly I would like to acknowledge that is appeal is in no way defending my actions, as part of the reason for my ban was literally due to the fact that I committed a crime on the server, I am not asking to be unbanned as I would not want Flux Servers to be seen as a platform that adds incentive to acts similar to what I did on the 10th of September at 6pm Sydney time.

Most of you will know for a fact that I enjoy making sprays that often poke fun at others for the sake of getting a laugh out of everyone, these sprays typically were aimed at Aeyon and I can say for a fact that I was one of the people that started this trend that caused Aeyon noticeable distress, with others going further than I did which resulted in them too, receiving permanent bans from Flux Servers.

I am in no way a “model” player as my actions and ways of communicating within the community often represent that of a troll or keyboard warrior, I’ll RDM for the sake of a joke without taking into account that I may of ruined someone else's round when in fact they may not have as much time to play games as me due to their own IRL circumstances.

With all this being said, it’s time to address the reason for my ban, I must ask that members of the community do not try to reach out to the victim of this ban reason as I feel I have already done enough damage with this specific incident.

Previously a member of the community had posted (albeit accidentally) the link to their OnlyFans account in TTT text chat, where they mentioned that it only contained softcore pornography and nothing too graphic, during the days following this, other players and I joked around with the victim about subscribing to their OnlyFans so we would have and I quote “more content for funny sprays”, to which the victim just laughed off, this response was not consent yet I still acted upon it assuming they wouldn't mind, this was my first mistake. 

 

After spending , I found some pictures from their OnlyFans after passing the PayWall, I used one of the pictures to make a spray that featured a Wookie player model covering up the lewd body parts and stating “[VICTIM NAME]’s Only Fans is temporary, Wookies are for life”. After making this spray and uploading it to my game files, I had still yet to ask the soon to be victim about their opinion on it, as despite the fact they knew I had subscribed, were still unaware of my intent to use the spray. At this time we were all in discord and on the server together, with about 5 of us present in discord and about 18 players in the game.

I then hopped back on to the server and used the spray, a few people found it funny but the victim then proceeded to leave the server and the discord, then got in contact with Aeyon letting him know of the situation, Aeyon then asked me to not use the spray which I agreed to, then proceeded to carry out the permanent ban on my account.

 

It’s worth mentioning here that by using my credit card and IRL info for the OnlyFan’s purchase, the victim had every opportunity to leak my information and doxx me, all of the information related to my career and work for a number of companies in New Zealand could have been leaked out in the event the victim had decided to do so, however, they instead refunded my purchase and did not disclose any information to others, this is another part of the reason as to why I feel so guilty about the entire situation.

As mentioned at the start, I am not expecting any outcome from this post, I just feel that it is only right that my actions shouldn't be hidden as they hurt others. I in no way, shape or form expect my ban to be reduced from its current state as I feel it was justified.

I am very sorry to the victim and those affected by the spray.

If anyone has serious questions related to the post, I will happily answer them, however, any silly or troll-like comments left by the normal forum dwellers will unfortunately be ignored, sorry.

Your first sentence legit contradicts your whole appeal. appealing in general is trying to defend yourself.  

It is still considered doxxing as its through a paywall.

you're not sorry you even made a spray about me lol.

While I don't really want to out myself, I feel like most people on the server already know. People often do or say dumb shit simply thinking "Hey this'll probably get a few good laughs", Sheep is no exemption to that. I don't think he fully realised what he was doing when he made the spray, just thinking people would laugh. While, yes, it made me very uncomfortable, as a female that plays games I'm more than aware that I am going to be at the receiving end of degrading jokes and insults. But Sheep had no prior history of being unkind to me whatsoever, I believe that he did not make the spray out of malicious intent. I disconnected from the server after it was sprayed more to avoid the harassment of people on the server that DO go out of their way to be incredibly rude as I knew it would be used as ammunition, which it was. While I hold no hard feelings, I do believe you should have some kind of punishment more so you will know not to do it again,  but I think you've learned your lesson.

should have learnt his lesson the first time he got in trouble about sprays

I see this as a prime example of the literal "Sheep" mentality that has plagued our server for weeks now.
There has been a collective effort from you and multiple others (who have been banned for the same issue) to ruin the victim's time on the server.
Although what you did is extremely wrong and illegal, I genuinely believe you did it for a laugh amongst you and the small group of others who have been targeting this player, I just think you took the joke to another level which is just wrong.
You are a long time flux member and my opinion would be very different if you were otherwise. You also have taken the time to be remorseful and transparent in your appeal and that really shows. I think you need to understand like actions such as these can really impact a person's mental health, this constant barraging you and other's have been doing to this victim is just absurd and it was only a matter of time until you were all perma-banned, pretty mmuch all of this group is now banned.
I believe you deserve some form of punishment . 
I'm neutral on this.

I would also like to add that I have never witnessed you acting out like this on any previous occasions, I think you just wanted to fit in with a small group of players and your actions in this incident reflect that.
