ACCEPTED
I'm going to revoke the ban on a technicality, you were being spectated due to accusations of you cheating, but most of the video was lost due to a glitch on Buster's end. This is not a declaration that you are innocent, because the proof I did see was just shy of the mark to keep you banned..However due to the fact that it did not quite meet that mark, I'll allow you to return to the server. We'll be monitoring you for further issues of this kind, so I would take this as your instruction to not cheat on our server, else next time there will be no appeal.-

DENIED
Unfortunately, your appeal will be denied due to the fact that did you did not properly fill out the required format which was provided to you by Danny The Dog in the above comment. You may re-attempt
this appeal whenever you choose, however, please be sure that you follow the format in the next attempt.Thank you!

It seems you left out some crucial details in your appeal.. Naturally, I'm not going to handle this appeal as it may be seen as bias, so I'll assign this to @Chawhead and @busterbignut to work collectively to ensure a fair trial on your part. Now, let's get the whole story out here on the table so we're all on the same page here. You claim to have been banned for simply being in a discord server with menaces to the community, (as you listed, hama,torq;) But if that were an offense, I would have banned half of the VIP playerbase (at the time,) as they were all in at least one toxic third party discord server.
Let's get back to the beginning, back in November 2022, you were Community Banned for your involvement with some players exploiting, the same group then went on to display toxic behaviors towards Garnet and Proggy, which extended the simple exploiting ban into a Permanent Community Ban. Fast forward a bit to 2023, you ban evade on the server with an alias called "Sythe," and played consistently for 2-4 months, making it well known to your friends that it was you, but nobody came forward so you didn't get banned. Shortly thereafter, due to some...questionable decisions made by Cyber Sword, you and some other previously permabanned players were given a second chance, on the grounds that you supply the server with population via the use of alt accounts and afking. This decision was one I did not agree with at any point, but I had no say in the matter at the time, so your ban was revoked and you went on to play the server on your main account once again. Now Cyber DID warn you that when you came back, you'd be on thin ice, and any form of toxicity or malicious intent that you displayed could have your ban re-instated, this warning was given to you and to all other players forgiven by Cyber.
Once you returned to the server on your main account, you caught my eye a few times, being toxic, harassing others, and even going as far as getting caught exploiting with Hoal. I wanted to permaban you on the spot, but cyber saved you once again. About two months after that, someone came forward from inside your "Island Boys" Group chat, and provided us with proof of you and your friends being malicious and conspiring to cause chaos on our server, he provided us with instances of you being directly involved in a call with the conspirators as they were carrying out their attacks, watching them cheat, hearing them talking openly about ban evading and mass rdming over and over again. Personally, you were given a second chance, then another chance, but you repeatedly made the decision to hang around bad company instead of just "vibing out" on the server as you say you wanted to.
It may seem harsh, but after time and time again, if you are given another chance, I don't foresee it going any better than the last few times...But I'll leave that up to the operators staff to decide.-

Previous attempts at charity raffles on the server resulted in players charging back if they didn't win... Unfortunately, we can't have nice things on the internet.
Thank you. -
Accepted
This concept has been placed on the back burner of our development board for possible addition....at some point, maybe?
It's a stretch okay. :^(-

Instead we've added an interaction cooldown to printers, since players insisted upon using autoclickers/e-spam scripts to automate the printer farming process. :^(

______________________________I feel as though, while the cinema owner and its capabilities could be explored a bit more..
adding an assistant would not benefit the role very much, for reasons stated above.
Perhaps we can look into expanding the cinema job a bit in other ways though!______________________________

______________________________The overwhelming community pushback speaks for itself..
allowing the higher/elite players to respawn after a user finally takes them down is a terrifying thought to me for some reason. :^(______________________________

______________________________We're working on making the rules a new popup which would show up for new players and be something staff could force upon players who are having trouble accessing the page and/or simply don't want to be bothered to. :^)

______________________________The bank robber is a practically redundant class, yes, and as such perhaps he should be removed? or perhaps a change can be made to give him an edge over other classes attempting to rob the bank. This will be added to a list to be discussed for potential addition in a future update.

______________________________I feel as though the big white text on the center of your screen should sufficiently serve as notification that a warrant has been issued. Making it necessary for police to advert their raids would simply make it easier for players to only monitor chat to ensure their base is not at risk of being raided while they farm, such automation is not within our plan for the server.

Woohoo, forgot to mark this as ACCEPTED
We have integrated the PM system from SWRP. -

______________________________Hobos, by definition, are not intended to be on an equal playing field to normal civilians, hence the weapon restriction being added in the first place. A hobo is not intended to be a standard member of society, which means they should not have access to higher-end weapons; You could even go as far as saying that hobo is just a troll/fun job, whose purpose is to give the server a bit of lighthearted fun amidst the other roleplay classes we have. Giving hobos access to other weapons essentially violates the rolepaly logic of them being at the bottom of the food chain. I don't feel as though this is an issue that we should address at this moment in time.

______________________________After much debate, we finally decided to accept this and have it added to our rulebook, gone are the days of being locked in a tight hallway and blasted to pieces by a point & click defender inside the base.

______________________________I think this idea is terrific, except the fact that adding additional bank robber(s) would be worsening the fight against single-purpose classes, due to the fact that they literally would serve no purpose than to rob a bank which, lets be honest, does not fill up often enough to warrant having specific teams that have permission to rob it. I feel as though the bank robber class could stand to be removed as well, but that's a discussion I'll have with Garnet.

Adding/"Revamping" this rule is moot since a large part of this suggestion is assuming bias is more likely to occur to people who you share a nameclan with, which is not the case. Most staff will always have preconscious bias for their friends (clanmates or otherwise), MANY of them are able to put this aside and look objectively. Very few cannot, so on the very few cases - If you feel the sit was handled incorrectly or with bias, report it on the forums. The sit resolution message prompts you to do so.
Explained perfectly by Conway here, if you see something, say something.

______________________________When considering vehicles, in any capacity, we must face certain questions and inevitable discussion which comes with the territory; For example, how would these collide, how could you fight a player who is currently mounted to one of these, how would this be used to fly through the world/props, how could this be abused to crash the server, and the list goes on. Additionally, I feel as though this may disrupt our vanilla environment, (yep, this argument again,) and take away from our population who just wants barebones DarkRP with a consistent playerbase. Overall, while it's creative and seems like a good thing, I feel it is just not something that would fit in with our current direction.

______________________________Unfortunately, as cool as this may be for a heavy-modded darkrp, soldier/pirate classes might be a bit of a stretch to our vanilla environment, and have little functionality considering the current roleplay capabilities of our playerbase.
Perhaps if/when we get our sailor class addded, it may appease your desire for a water-bound job-role, and could be explored further from there.. Until then, this will be denied.

______________________________I do not feel as though this should be classified as scamming, as currently, our rules state that scamming is an event in which a promised exchange is not carried out. Stealing money unrightfully is already considered as failrp, (whether it be as part of an invalid raid or just taking cash without an /advert steal..Most staff members will allow the victim to reduce/drop the charges in exchange for their precious roleplay cash, but we do not heighten the punishment on someone for not returning the cash they've stolen. I feel like a rule like this would be difficult to enforce, and even harder to determine if the victim doesn't know the exact amount of cash taken. At the end of the day, this seems like a complicated endeavor for our staff when handling such situations, and should probably be avoided.

______________________________Due to the immense pushback here on your post, and my personal hesitation to allow players to spawn anything which can allow another player to attach to it...your suggestion will be denied. Seems like a fun little addition on paper, but in practice, we both know what would happen. :^)

Due to this post being dead for some time, I will take this issue into my hands and keep this my list of bugs to monitor.
Accepted, as we will check back on this next time we are able to reproduce it, and fix it accordingly. -

______________________________Numbering the rules seems to be a good idea on paper, even I supported it at first, but a point was brought up to me that, if we number the rules, more than likely, staff will refer to the rules by their numbers and expect players (new and old,) to go look that rule up. While it would be easier to find, I feel as though referencing rules by their number rather than their content will only cause additional confusion, due to staff not fully explaining the rule in its proper context.

______________________________A hobo's whole existence revolves around annoying people and getting in the way, I would hardly expect them not to irritate the mob boss into placing hits on hobos to get them out of the way. Maybe they know too much? Bottom line is, I don't see this as a necessary change and the community feedback here seems to concur with this idea.
