With the year soon coming to an end, I usually do some sort of giveaway for games or in game stuff. This year im going to be doing an Olympus Unbanathon, however the appeals will not have any decision made until near mid December, as I want to give myself and the rest of my staff the chance to look over the persons ban and make a decision from there.
Gonna copy/paste @Grandma Gary's old post for this, and just update the details. Basically how this would work is people who had bans for duping or exploiting physical items, virtual items or money will have the opportunity to appeal their ban and have it removed and in place have some restrictions placed on their account. Any hacking/scripting bans including bans from spawning money are not eligible for removal.
Restrictions are as followed:
House limit of 3
Vehicle limit of 15
Cannot pickup money off the ground
Cannot give/take money to/from players
When robbed your money is 1/2'd
When robbing another player it is 1/2'd
Cannot do RnR invoices
Money will not drop when killed, it gets deleted.
Cannot give/take from gang bank
Cannot give/take wire transfers to/from players
Players lose 15% when selling virtual items to stores
Cannot play on a whitelisted faction (R&R / APD)
Does not receive Passive Perks
Account Wipe
May not be banned for the next 2 months at minimum
Given the infractions that landed people with their respective perms this not only gives them another chance to play on our servers but it also reduces opportunities for individuals to backslide onto their old nefarious ways.
While these restrictions may seem rather harsh the alternative is to be "permanently" banned. We also recognize that there may be some people who genuinely regret their actions and we are offering the opportunity for these restrictions to be removed after a minimum of 2 months. There is no guarantee that the restrictions will be removed however and they will be removed on a case by case basis.
If you have alternate accounts and you use them to get around these restrictions it will be considered ban evading and both accounts will be banned. If you are appealing and have alternate accounts please bring them to our attention beforehand to avoid issues in the future.
Also please note we will be looking over things on a case by case basis. Do not expect a guaranteed unban, and do not spam myself and the staff to look at the appeal is it will result in an automatic denial.
Good Luck with your appeals
