Your appeal:
I’m aware of the 3 month time for perma bans. However, I was notified by mr. nessie that I’d be getting a 1 week ban considering my prior admin notes. That was fine with me, but after a week (Ban issued March 7th iirc) I checked back and got the message “Banned by host: Reason: Quality Control Ban Expires: PERMANENT”.
Had I known this, I would have immediately made a staff report for seemingly escalating a ban from 1 week to permanent. I have no qualms with the mr. nessie, however I feel like I got cheated and lied to, especially considering the (admittedly) rather unsubstantial offense.
I take full blame for breaking the all-important rule of not being a d*ck. Since I got back into CM this month (iirc), I’ve been doing nothing but having fun and making friends. I seriously doubt I have gained any irreconcilable hostilities with anyone but the victim of my griefing leading to this ban.
I admit I acted inane during my chat with mr. nessie, but in my defense I just came off of a nice round of CM where I chased down and killed a defender during hijack as ERT. I was “in-character” or something like that and feeling silly. I completely own up to the fact I just screwed over some guy for no raisin. I honestly don’t know why I kept going with the “bit”. I’m 21 years old, i know where my responsibilities lie, and obviously disregarded them as I continued being a prick.
So, assuming my appeal hasn’t been handwaived immediately, I hope this 1-week-ban-turned-permanent is a filing error or something along those lines, and my appeal has enough merit to warrant an “off-the-books” handling. I just feel sad that a minor offense, all things considered, led to a permanent ban like that. Not to downplay the situation of the victim, of course.
And again, I hold no malice towards mr. nessie, just a sense of indignancy at the apparant miscommunication or what-have-you. Thanks for your time.
