(include any proof): I was banned for supposedly doxing or requesting to have doxed, former staff member "ZachDLC". Something that I didn't do.Why should your ban be removed?: Before I get into my points, I would like to mention this appeal is made purely for Garnet or proggy to speak on, as they are the only people who were involved or know anything about what happened. Now if we're looking at this from the stand point that I doxed ZachDLC, there was never any proof that did. I'm not a hacker, neither do I know how to get someones personal information on the level in which Zach's was gathered, so unless there is some secret proof that exposed me, this reason for my ban is ruled out. But if my ban is under the pretense that I requested someone to dox ZachDLC, then there's more explaining to do. I'm going to be referring to a PM conversation with proggy and Garnet I was instructed to make to appeal my ban. I'm going to list my points in a list, according to our conversation. I'm going to be using these screenshots (https://imgur.com/a/7lIaXMh) to make my points.
Now in these screenshots, it's very easy to summarize the point that the reason I was assumed of requesting the doxing of ZachDLC is because I invited him to a now deleted discord server called "methhouse". But before I deconstruct his argument, I want to apologize for what Zach had to go through, regardless of it not being my fault. No one deserves to be in his position, especially over some petty gmod drama bullshit, and I feel sorry you, Zach. But anyways, on to my very simple points.
1. Zach wasn't even in the discord I invited the guy to.
2. Zach's dox had already but publicized before the person who doxed him was in that discord server, and there was absolutely nothing a discord server invite would have changed.
3. How could a guy in a discord lead to a full blown dox, on someone who's not even in the discord? Inviting someone to methhouse, where private information was not shared, never lead to a dox
4. There's absolutely no proof I requested to have anyone doxed, and there's not a single bit of sufficient evidence exists proving that I am affiliated with or worked with the person who doxed Zach whatsoever.
5. Why would the word of a doxxer, someone who is quite literally a criminal, who doxed Zach, and who wasn't connected to GG servers, be taken over the word of a long time player who hasn't had malicious intent towards the server nor its members?
