Conway - StarWarsRP Ban Appeal

[AlexConway 1,144]

In-game name: Conway/Fleet Admiral Huxly/CG Provost Marshal

SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:138807332

Staff members in-game name: Ziggy

Staff members SteamID (/id (name): STEAM_0:1:171244538

Date & Time of incident: February 26th, 2022

Timezone: EST

Ban Reason:  Original Reason: Tampering with Documents | Subsequent Ban: "You are the biggest stain on GG history since release"

How long were you banned for?: 2 weeks, then updated to a permanent ban.

Proof of Ban: https://prnt.sc/z8ModkNkowZz

What happened? (include any proof): As part of the 5 person team in-charge of "rebooting" this iteration of StarWarsRP, being largely known for phrasing, being good with google sheets, aesthetics, etc - I created a separate Google Account/Google Drive Account due to the shear number and widerange of docs needed. As opposed to other GarnetGaming related documents that were on my personal email, and are still available from early as 2016. This email was deleted/deactivated following my mutual departure (to clarify: I was offered to remain T. Admin, but declined as I felt the prospect of working together with the remaining management members would be too much of a possible conflict), this action subsequently deleted/archived/private any documents created. At the time, I was told by the then Superadmin that I would have a "right to do so"

Why should your ban be removed?: This question/prompt on ban appeals is always very difficult for a lot of players, and I'm not exempt from that. Simply put, I broke the written rules, rules I was entrusted to enforce, and probably wrote a fair few of them, despite what "permission" or "clearance" I thought I had - I was not thinking clearly, given a tough proverbial pill to swallow, and consequences of my actions were not something I was concerned with (even though they should have been). Though I myself have denied many appeals for "appeals are not for apologies" - I feel an apology is owed:

To start I'm sorry - to Garnet, to the then staff/gamemaster team(s), battalion leadership, and to the players impacting directly or indirectly, then current or future; I'm deeply sorry. I understand the severity of my actions and the negative impact they had on the community. Deleting community documents, especially without fully comprehending their significance, was a mistake, plain and simple - it was an impulsive decision that caused a great deal of inconvenience and distress to numerous teams/staff and the community. I acknowledge that these documents were crucial to the server's smooth functioning, and my actions had put a strain and impediment on the server/community. I want to make it clear that I am fully responsible for my actions, and I want to take this opportunity to again express my sincerest apologies for any harm or inconvenience that I have caused. I also understand that my actions have compromised my trust and integrity within the StarWarsRP community, and I wish to rejoin the server to prove and regain the "public"/servers trust and be a contributing member.

-1 you removed me from seals in 2019 and I still hold grudges (jk)

 

+1 I found Conway as a good admiral and with the whole situation that caused this I think a perma ban from SWRP was definitely unnecessary

I want to start by again, addressing the situation that happened in the community and express that I was incredibly disappointed in what has taken place at the time you had left. I have expressed to you that in your upcoming appeal I would be much happier if you had JUST included a simple apology, as opposed to pointing fingers at in an attempt to partially justify the actions you took. I mentioned this to you explicitly earlier in our chat. I understand that nothing that happened back then was all that positive, but lets move on and not hold grudges.

With all that being said, we have had a dozen recent private conversations, which have all proven to be helpful, and you have GENUINELY helped me to a HUGE degree as of the past month or two; far more than alot of the current staff - whether it comes to coding or mapping. I do appreciate your follow-up apology which goes a long way towards making things right. I acknowledge your significant contributions to the community over the years and in my own opinion you are the best admiral the server has had to date.

 

Being that in my opinion, your overall impact on the server has been net positive ESPECIALLY AS OF RECENT, I personally look forward to you joining back with all the knowledge you have gathered from the servers you have played while taking a step back from Garnet. 

+1 from me

+1 When Conway, got banned from messing with docs it was quite weird to me and didn’t sound like that would be some he would do. As you can see bishop mentioned he had the right of doing that. 

Conway set up the foundation of where the server went even if it was good or even bad. Even though we had some discrepancies in the past he was mostly professional about everything. I think he needs another shot with helping out the server but, obviously don’t allow him to own any important documents just incase.

+1

There's been issues in the past, but at the end of the day, with the server where it is, you could be a hugely beneficial addition. Even now, your period as Admiral is widely considered the best term of an Admiral on the server, and with your vast experience even beyond that, I feel it will be worthwhile to have you unbanned.

@Ziggy (doin this because no one else has)

 

I personally feel like this ban wasn't entirely proportional to the wrong he committed way back whenever it was (i'm not good with dates). Not to mention the extended history Conway has in regards to community contributions for MRP and SWRP, and how he could influence the current state of the communities would prove beneficial. I admit though, I don't know the story behind why he was banned but I 100% vouch for his potential future contributions. +1 o7 brother.

Alright you little worm, first of all, we both know what I meant by that is you literally had the capability to erase those documents. I then asked you not to. You’re using this piece of evidence here as a blanket of nuance to say, “Wellll…. he /did/ say I could do it technically.” Lame as fuck.

I’d also like to bring light to the fact that a consideration of your removal/ban was the constant attempts to go around me to get what you wanted done without consulting me or even special. 

We’ve done this song and dance a million times before so what’s more time? You’ll be unbanned, we’ll talk, pretend to be friends for a little bit, and eventually even while on different GG servers we’re gonna find a way to end up clashing it out down the line. 
 

Welcome back! +1
