Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]:Danny the Dog Your in-game name: Tranquil Your SteamID (https://steamid.io/): Tranquil(STEAM_0:1:198511234) In-game name of reportee: Danny the Dog SteamID of reportee (https://steamid.io/): Danny The Dog(STEAM_0:0:64563538) Date & Time of incident: 2023-12-01 - 01:30:04 Timezone: Central Time What happened? (include any proof): Basically, as seen in the video, this YouTuber is abusing the "/me" in-game mechanic to convince people he is stealing their money. I am reporting Danny for his sheer incompetence in dealing with this situation. It resulted in more or less innocent two players being falsely banned. Not only was Danny present to witness this player abuse the mechanic to get one person banned, he watched the same situation happen two more times before saying anything. This is a very clear cut example of a greifing, trolling, harassment, loophole abuse, and even exploiting. The /me command is able to be used by anyone in the server, and this guy was clearly able to initiate role-play situations that convinced people they were being mugged which would allow people to kill this man. Instead of dealing with the situation logically by telling the troller to stop, he enables the greifing by banning people for being tricked which objectively isn't their fault. Furthermore since when do players being exploited against get punished? They are clear victims, and it should be obvious not to ban people for this. Not only that in the past, he's shown himself to be pretty incompetent. A quote from my rejected staff app " l admit then I was wrong because I was going off of what I was told a long time ago, but to be fair it was a 3 minute jail that was over with while you were arguing about it." which demonstrates his tendency to make illogical decisions. This is has been a repeat pattern of behavior, and I think a higher up should address this. On the topic of my recent ban appeal, while I am disappointed it wasn't accepted, this has nothing to do with it. Although it could to some extent indicate the idiocy and corruption. Danny has displayed. For instance, on forums knowing this situation happened he lies by omitting this information, and he states I was minging as if he wants to pretend this didn't happen. Not only that he used fallacious logic to justify my ban. Logical fallacies are flaws in reasoning that undermine the logic of an argument. He used the correlation- causation and lack of evidence is evidence fallacy to justify the ban "I find it hard to believe you arrested that many people for shooting each other or breaking into bases." I'm not required to record my gameplay, but he is. It is his responsibility to gather evidence according to staff rules not mine. I think his effort was subpar and a further indication of incompetence. If you check logs, I arrested 13 people, and only 3 made a report. And for some odd reason, he doesn't include ANY gunfire logs. Not only that but he says "3. You never mentioned anything about laws that the Mayor can put in place that allows you to arrest people" when he didn't even ask me why I arrested those other people. And no offense to dmoney, but I admitted to a single RDA for admin attention. NOT THIRTEEN COUNTS, so there is no obvious evidence. This especially when the logical is objectively flawed... Anyways I hope higher ups can speak with Danny.

(include any proof): I was banned for mass RDA by Danny. I was brought to the sit and I admitted that I rdaed that one person. According to staff rules, he has to have screenshots and video to justify the punishment. We didn't even discuss the topic of other RDAs during the sit. And he made no effort to verify if these were RDAs or not which is part of gathering evidence. Having to arrest multiple people in DarkRP is not a seldom occurrence especially when there is some sort of roleplay involving a violent acts. Given he likely cannot prove I RDAed, hopefully I am unbanned. And I will file a report if this is case. Not only do I find it rude he willingly ignored my perspective, it is against staff rules.

Yeah it sucks, but things like this happen. I'm sure if the dude keeps up what he's doing he'll get banned anyways.

+1 Bro ppl are just being petty keep your head up.

If you have a problem with this situation, why is your report on him and not the staff member? Staff decisions are final, so punishing him again here is literally against the rules unless you can prove he did something else. Your issue is with with how Steven handled the sit. This guy shouldn't be punished twice for the same offense. You also can't prove he was lying in the sit. The video is insufficient proof of him destroying your printers. It even looks like someone, Enzo, is trying to enter or shoot inside the room. He admits to the RDA and RDM, and he gets punished for it. According to the rules, that's final.

Since there has been no final judgement made, and I feel this post being really long makes everything hard to understand. Overall it hurts my case. TLDR: I feel I should be unbanned because mutually exclusive events were strung together to make my actions qualify as a "mass" rule infraction. This resulted in a much lengthier punishment. For example, if someone has killed 3 people with 20 minutes in between each kill and every kill has had it's own jail, warn, or ban would this be MRDM? No that's three cases of RDM. In a single sit, you don't get punished for every RDM you've ever done. That's because these events are mutually exclusive. My disconnect was unrelated, it shouldn't stack here. And it was found the props I was kicked for weren't mine( Hydra, Oyasumi I suggest not lying here). Also a punishment had already been dealt regardless, so punishing me for twice is double jeopardy The clip of my pyramid, I am allowed to build my hut in a 6x6x6 however I want. Rules allow it; not completing the build has no impact whatsoever. As for people trapped in my build, the staff rules indicate a single count of prop spam is only a jail or warn. I could only see it going up to x2 for reasons I will explain I was already given a punishment. While I wasn't even on the server, my ban was changed from 1 day( or hour I can't recall) to two weeks. I was punished twice for the same action. Pertaining to this situation, I was given no prior warns to indicate I was actually breaking written rules. The clips provided are inadequate. The clips show two roleplayers, and one staff on duty trapped. Moreover, only one person submitted a report indicating the other person likely didn't have a problem. Staff on duty are not roleplaying, and it is failrp to roleplay with them(he's technically not present). This is evident in the videos shown, Oyasumi is giving bans and taking sits. Either he is breaking staff rules( not my fault), or he is on duty. Therefore he can not be proplocked. One clip is unrelated to the ban entirely, and it doesn't even present an incidence where I was asked to delete props at all. The sit was unprofessional There is great confusion here as to whether Oyasumi was on duty or not. Not a single word was spoken to me while he was watching. I was in rp as far as I knew. Not only that because not a single word was spoken to me I had no idea there was actually a personal problem with what I was doing. I feel targeted I have never seen the same type of logic be used to ban anyone else. No where in the staff rules does it say anything of the nature "add past offenses, concluded offenses, to current offenses." In fact there is nothing that states factor past offenses into current offenses. Not only this, but it appears like charges were being progressively added to make a case for banning me. For example in Hydra's video, he claims I was prop-spamming when in reality I was building. And I wasn't spoken to at all about receiving any punishment pertaining to this prop spam, so it looks like staff here waited fully knowing they could attach the prefix "mass" to make it a longer ban. I essentially ghosted until the moment I had been banned. Not only that. I feel it is extremely unfair to ban me without speaking to me. All punishments should be dealt with in a sit, and I don't see how my sit counts at all. Furthermore, I get my initial MFRP ban. Fine, I get it. Then it gets changed to 2 weeks instead ":)" . That's not fair at all. I wasn't even in the server when this change was made. If admin decisions are final, why in only my case is this not true? There's nothing final about double jeopardy. Overall I understand being given a punishment, NITRP could have been justifiable. The single count prop spam also justified a ban. However, a two week ban for this situation unfair; it doesn't fit with punishment guidelines which is my MAIN POINT . Definitions( don't want anyone else complaining about big words): double jeopardy: a law term, being punished for an already convicted offense. ex. 1 murder = 1 murder sentence. Once a judge has ruled, there will be no changes made. mutually exclusive: here it means, events that occur separate, they are not interconnected. These events do not occur simultaneously or co-exist, one being true has no impact on the other. ex. a ball drops in Canada and another drops in the United States. These events are not related despite coincidence. Thank you for reading I hope you all have a wonderful day.

"Warn/Ban appeals are no place for apologies," so my post's purpose is only to form a case for why I believe a ban is excessive. If staff concur, I will be unbanned. I doubt you could provide a single example of "no set evidence, exclusively story telling" because clearly there's video and logs. And most of what I have said is necessary to establish context and explain my reasoning.

It's still not good lol. +1 | Third time is a charm. Friendly fire will not be tolerated. Yeah he fr should have written his app while he was banned. How do you feel now that you've given him an unrequited +1?

+1. Only positive interactions with this man. It seems like he actually wants to help people have fun which is most important. Otherwise, I want to call out everyone criticizing his paragraphs. NONE -1ing or neutral people understand English grammar. Gmod moderator isn't an English teaching position, so here are some wonderful quotes from you guys. Danny: "You're just over the 72 hours MINIMUM playtime so you're good there but I always suggest having more to people because there is still a lot to learn even after 72 hours I agree with WohMi as well and the paragraphs." | How tf do you breathe while reading this run-on sentence? tadtad: "monastic you know you love you like a brother but your paragraphs are lacking and while i have had only amazing interactions with you i wouldent personally want you on a staff team but i think in the future you would be an amazing mod/admin." | Absolutely no sense of sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation. How do you even communicate your thoughts to anyone clearly? You're literally the embodiment of the quote "the ability to speak doesn't make you intelligent." And your reasoning for why someone shouldn't be gmod staff makes being staff sound like running for political office. Gabbox: I'll take it easy on you. You can't spell "didn't." Gordita: Honestly astounded me with your inability to use capitalization. "i don’t give out false bans. you did what you did, unfortunately it’s her word against his since i have no sufficient proof. as i said prior..." | Run-ons... And you astounded me with your inability to use capitalization. Honorable Mention: Robert: Actually knows how to speak. While they have had some questionable phrases, I'll chalk it down to them being casual. Nice job.

In-game name: Tranquil_T22 or TranquilSteamID (https://steamid.io/): Tranquil(STEAM_0:1:198511234)Staff members in-game name: Oyasumi GermanStaff members SteamID (https://garnetgaming.net/darkrp/bans) (/id (name): Oyasumi German(STEAM_0:1:198456461 Date & Time of incident: 2023-10-20 - 21:54:43Timezone: Central Ban Reason: MPSHow long were you banned for? 2 weeksProof of Ban: " 2023-10-20 - 21:54:43 Tranquil(STEAM_0:1:198511234) Oyasumi German(STEAM_0:1:198456461) 15-00:00 | MPS | Oyasumi German | :3" What happened? (include any proof): ( Check my warns and jails ) Basically, I got double jeopardized here. I was already banned for MTRP(idk for sure its not listed on /bans) for a single day which I understand because I was messing around a lot, and it was deserved. As a hobo I was making builds with no real creative intent (given they were in a 6x6 area so technically allowed just annoying asf), so I understand being banned initially for NITRP( I think idk) since its not technically prop spam within a 6x6. Otherwise I don't see how anything was MPS. I must mention had been disconnected before for "proplock" although when discussed later with Hydra, it was seen through logs the props I was disconnected for weren't mine, and I was given a verbal to not build inside tunnels(I didn't do again. ) Afterwards I had only been asked a couple times to delete my weird builds although they were technically legal since hobos can build their huts in 6x6 areas to which I complied and was never warned or jailed. And these huts are pretty much limited to one's creative expression. I say this because many homeless in real life abuse drugs, and they don't have "livable huts;" they simply can't with cardboard and trash and drugs. Given we base the hobo job of real homeless people, a creative extension in gmod could be really anything. I understand staff word is final( although rules technically weren't broken), so I listened to staff and deleted what they asked me to delete. I say all the above to establish I had no real priors other than NITRP. Onto the moment I was banned, I essentially was messing around. I assumed this(wrongfully) because I noticed some staff using physguns in RP jobs, so I thought everything was casual. While messing and building my hut, I proclaimed I was an earthbender and trapped a staff member in the build. I was then promptly banned for 1 day( I think). After 1 day passes I try to rejoin only to realize I was banned for 2 weeks even though I hadn't been on the server since. I think MPS is a big stretch considering what I have said above. Propblock | (2-4 minutes) Propblock x2 | (4-6 minutes), Propminge | (4-6 minutes), Propspam | (6-8 minutes, no prior warns or jails while online with the exception of an unrelated verbal warn. And unrelated, how am I supposed to know when it is okay to mess around and deviate from normal rp when staff aren't even following the rules themselves. All the time I see staff breaking their own rules: "Do not use administrative commands unless in case of emergency or if you are on duty or in a sit. (I.E Physgun players off duty, TPing, checking logs.)", you must have a sit before warning a player (exception for violations in non-OOC: Diss In OOC, Racism In OOC, @ chat spam, etc.), Staff Noclipping rules, and RP on duty. For example, this situation here perfectly describes the staff rules broken. I was only in a sit one time when clarifying the disconnect incidence, a sit I made myself. I really don't see any emergency here to excuse this. Its not like spawn was being proplocked. I see staff use physguns all the time off duty. I'm pretty while I was banned a staff member was noclipping in an rp job. I don't say the above to call people out( I wouldn't lie here. Being caught doing anything this minor is not worth the consequences of being caught in a lie. This isn't a staff report. I don't want anyone punished.) I just think given the circumstances appearing so casual, it's unfair to punish only me when no one else is taking the rules seriously. Not only that I feel 2 weeks here MPS is a bit of a reach especially when a punishment had already been dealt for MTRP something more appropriate, and I don't even have a chance to speak to a staff member about this( no sit). I get I mess around a lot, and that will result in bans. However this to me feels unfair, and I'd be grateful for an unban.

Ghostieee, even though you banned me, you're a cool guy. Thanks

Obviously I'm saying I wasn't fairly judged. I say that considering no one responding to my appeal actually argued against the points I made. There was a whole genre of YouTube trolling centered around RP trolling, so knowing the rules doesn't matter. Especially when staff don't the rules. This is just for fun. If you're playing this game for another reason, you're doing it wrong. It's fine if you no longer want to talk. I'll respect that. Also realize forums are a place where people talk, so this kinda is the place luv. I love you graygray. I think you are a kind person, and I appreciate you complimenting me. Everything you said I did wrong was intentional. I made this thread for fun. On the off chance I get an interview, sure I might be staff, but otherwise, I don't care. This app took me five minutes to write because I am not illiterate, so I really don't have the attitude or motivation to be part of the staff team. You were right when you said I was trying to cast light on the flaws of the community. And I don't come from a place of compassion. Being a gmod server mod is soooo easy. And because of this post, the staff members that don't know what they're doing are probably feeling the necessary shame. And I wasn't passive aggressive at all. I knew what I was doing this whole time, and everything came as expected. Ahh the classic “when a debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the losers.”

Noooooooo

It's not against the rules to have fun. It doesn't matter that I'm banned. And I mean just because the appeal was denied doesn't exactly mean I broke the rules... There were no logs, and on both sides there was only 20 seconds of video provided which doesn't give meaningful context to the situation. And people break the rules all the time on purpose, so your point is illogical. Thank you for admitting you were wrong, but you're wrong again. I got jailed for 5 minutes, and you and Rosie implied I was stupid. She concurred with your jail and told me "there are no RP reasons to kill," while role-playing on duty. During that sit I got mic-spammed the whole time, mugged, and the sit improperly ended by Rosie continuing her RP and ignoring me when she should have formally dismissed it. And I shouldn't have had to argue with it all if you weren't going to conduct a sit correctly. Again, no hard feelings as this does show a trend of staff lacking patience. This is something I addressed in my app.

+1 Chevy is a g he definitely deserves a shot. Bruv you could at least give him the benefit of the doubt on the forums.

Awww nooo That wasn't a sentence my guy. If I put a period the sentence, it would literally say "Do not," an imperative sentence, so it's not appropriate for the context of correcting you. What I wrote is a colloquialism which should have been obvious. Not only that but its grammatically incorrect to put the period in the middle of sentence for example "don't. be a retard. " Love you g. "You may not ban, warn, or jail players without first gathering sufficient proof (screenshots, recordings) to justify the punishment(s)." I said no hard feelings, but then you have tell me I'm wrong luv... Not only does this say you are wrong, jails and warns are completely separate commands. Next time follow your rules luv. Also how did you not remember this? I read the rules 1x and remember where as you somehow made it past t. mod not knowing this. Embarrassing... A final word of advice: if responding will make you look like an idiot, don't respond.

You're so bothered it's hilarious. Maybe I should write more of these. Anyways, I forgot to mention I take daily showers.

Luv that's a 20 second clip where you can not even see behind Ghostieee. It's simply illogical to assume that every kill in the video is an RDM. That and what bother does it have to you? It seems I'm less bothered over being banned than you are which is pathetic on your part.

*don't That is an incomplete sentence, sentence fragment. I also said I MRDMed in the fourth line. Luv, I said that in the fourth line. What made you want to restate the obvious?

Hope my boi tadtad gets his staff. Homie on fire over here. Inspired me to write an app myself. Y'all already you he's doing the most out here to make this server lit.

In-game name: Tranquil Age: 20 SteamID (https://steamid.io/): Tranquil(STEAM_0:1:198511234) Warns: Banned currently 2 weeks MRDM and jailed once for having mic problems in a sit. Danny decided it would be best to jail me for not speaking, and he conveniently forgot to screenshot logs. No hard feelings. ( no actual warns) Timezone: CST Playtime?: 4 hours currently in server, approx 800 in game. I've definitely had more than 100 hours in this server years ago. Do you have access to TeamSpeak and a microphone?: YES Do you have the ability to record Garry's Mod videos?: YES Referral(s): [What administrator recommended you to apply?] None my boi tadtad31's app inspired me to apply. Past experiences as staff: I was an Admin/ moderator for a considerable amount of time on a few RP servers and sandboxes (I recall but am not sure if my staff extended to TTT servers since some were "global positions") several years ago. The most popular one was named Gl!tchedRP, it averaged 30 players a day on a 50 player server. Why should we choose you over other applicants? [minimum 2 paragraphs] I think I should be chosen over other applicants because I have real a desire to see DarkRP as a genre grow. Gmod2 is currently in development, and I would be delighted to contribute to DarkRP's continuance into that game. I believe I posses the experience and knowledge necessary to help make this push. Moreover, I enjoy helping new players learn how to play DarkRP as this genre allows for a plethora of creative expression unseen in other games. Furthermore, I feel as though I can contribute meaningfully as a staff member. For example I was banned because of my response to people harassing my group, and I was saddened feeling like no staff had taken the time to listen and comprehend my side of the story. For over 10 minutes no staff would respond to my reports, yet despite that a 20 second clip was used to justify banning me for 2 weeks when I intended to cause no trouble to the server. I can say with certainty as staff I can contribute the patience and reason necessary to deal with all types of situations for the betterment of this server. Not only do I have the sincere will to participate. I am a responsible and reliable person. And I feel my experience qualifies me for a role as staff. I already know how to use ULX, Blogs, and all the works. And I can speak and write in proper grammar. Moreover, I can read at a level that allows me to correctly interpret and recall the rules of the server. Not to be rude, but I've noticed some server staff struggle with interpreting the seemingly simple rules( ex. RP scenarios can give valid reasons to kill, screenshotting/ recording logs/ evidence). Have you ever been banned or punished on any server? If so, Include details: I've played Garry's Mod since I was 14 and likely have been banned many times. Most recently, I was banned on a server(very dead) a week or two ago when the owner asked me to give him a review of his server. I gave him a negative review because the server frankly is not good which resulted in a ban afterwards. Have you made any previous applications, If so when?: Never How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I can contribute over 20 hours a week of raw staff time. If you have any, what hobbies or activities are you involved in outside of Garry's Mod? I'm a college student, so I'm involved in a few clubs. I also train BJJ. Did you read the staff rules?: {Tranquil} Garnet luvs

I admit I was wrong for killing you and Glitch, but in the video those were the same people who kept stepping over the KOS, harrassing my party members, and proplocking my base(RDMx2). At the time I was really only focused on trying to kill those people, and not reduce casualties. One of them even had blatant fences preventing entry to our club. The NLR timer is 3 minutes, so based on that I would have still been able to kill these people even if they were running as kill on sight doesn't exactly mean let people run safely. Do you by any chance have any logs? This would be really helpful. I could also prove that some of these players dealt damage to my job associates/ party members. I didn't include that in this post since I had no proof. Thank you

I hope I don't sound rude by asking, so I apologize in advance if I do. I'm not sure how long the appeal process is supposed to last; as of now it's been nearly a day. If Ghostieee doesn't want to respond, is it necessary to have his response here? If for example my appeal is accepted, then my ban duration is entirely dependent on his response regardless of whether or not I did anything wrong, so is it possible to expedite the process based on what is given here in my posts?

+1 My boi's grammar is horrendous, and he admitted to RDMing for fun. That being said. Compared to most DarkRP admins this man right here is a prime candidate. It is once in a blue moon where we find someone with not only a drive help but also an intellect unrivaled by 90% of DarkRP staff which is self-evident. As for his RDMs, he has done much less than most people who play Gmod. People are misunderstanding this man here. He is publicly admitting to RDM for the sake of putting himself in a position for forgiveness. Most lack the humility this man is displaying here. We all know nobody is without pasts or flaws, so I see his honesty as worthy of praise.

There was a KOS sign that's what I meant when I said "the club was a KOS place unless a player paid $10,000 to enter." The KOS sign was in the white letters in the video, so I apologize if the letters were hard to see. Otherwise, this person was the only person I killed with the reason of proplock. How am I supposed to respond to someone doing things like this if staff haven't answered my report, and I want to continue my RP? Should I report this person and get them punished? It does seem a little confusing since both of us would both end up with warns if I did. Does it become a sort of even-stevens scenario? We both broke the rules against each other, so neither of us get punished for that incident or the opposite. Given that we both broke the rules, I feel it is unfair I am left with a ban while this player remains unwarned. And I am also confused about the rules since they do say "Do not harass, grief, or troll players of the community...Do not prop minge or prop surf. Aimlessly throwing props around, trapping other players, and or any other inappropriate use of a prop)." That and I have no way of knowing the props won't cause me damage by way of a glitch happening for example launching me into air a common occurance which will cause damage(also RDM rule 2 says "anything that would not result in damage being taken is not RP reasons" meaning my killing was allowed under that rule). Also if someone is not RPing, ban evading, harassing my group, how does this killing even apply to roleplay RDM especially when staff hasn't answered my report. Sorry for the long winded reply, I was somewhat confused about the situation. Thank you for your time.
