Temp Ban Ban Appeal: ThuggNutz45

[TNutz]

In-game Name ThuggNutz45

Have you cheated before? No

What's your side of the story as to why you were banned? I accidentally destroyed a teammates mortar and they reported it as griefing. In an effort to get repair ribbons, I was repairing allied vehicles, so I wanted to see if I could double tap the mortar with my pistol and repair it for points. It showed at 100% health, so I thought I missed, tried one more shot, and it blew up. I apologized to the guy (don't remember who it was) and Sandwich Zero spoke up on my behalf multiple times that I was just trying to get the repair ribbons and that it was clearly an accident. Had I known that I could just damage and repair my own EOD bot, I would've just done that.

Why should we lift your ban? While I'll admit that my response to being reported and told that I would be banned was a bit heated (whichever BZ player/admin it was, I called an "idiot" or said they were "being an idiot" - either way, pretty much the same issue on my part), it really did seem extremely arbitrary and poorly reasoned. I understand the "no-griefing" rule (makes all the sense in the world), but in an instance where it was an accidental destruction of a replaceable mortar AND I apologized for it multiple times, it seems weird that THIS is what gets followed up on. I see wildly homophobic and/or racist language on your servers fairly often that goes unpunished, yet that is supposed to be against the rules (I've seen people drop "hard R" N-bombs late at night and nobody did anything about it.

Yes, it rubbed me the wrong way how this was handled, but I enjoy playing on the server enough (and enjoy playing with regulars like Shrimp, Chief, Sandwich, Lanta, etc. enough) that I am willing to register on this site and actively appeal the ban so I can continue to play on those servers. Lately I've been on there everyday and so long as people aren't actively being a dick to me or somebody else out of nowhere, I just play the objectives and resupply/heal my squad/team.

I don't cheat, I don't harass people, and I don't intentionally mess with people's stuff. If this ban is lifted, that will continue to remain true and I won't try to retaliate or insult anyone over it (though if the person who did the banning is a dick about it, I'll call them out on their dickishness and leave it there - I'm not going to be somebody's punching bag).

Kick reason (from Battlelog) Alleged Griefing

So at best you were stat padding, which is also scummy. Why not help the team and ya know, actually repair vehicles instead of sitting in a corner doing whatever for ribbons? That's pretty dumb regardless.

It's a temp ban that expires in 6 more hours.

Follow the rules and be a team player in the future and stop griefing and/or stat padding on our servers.
