Thread: I think it's time to try again... Caution: History inside

#1. Why do you think you got banned?
I know exactly why I was banned. A long time ago, there was a place called TTP. Many people then, as I'm sure now too, stumbled upon this utopia of unity and brotherhood, where people actually made calls and followed them in game, and where you weren't demeaned or bashed for trying to work together to complete an objective. When I found it, the community was small. There were 2 games that were hosted and we were constantly full. Any right minded person would try and call this place home, and that is exactly what I did. I called myself many names back then, but the one that ended up sticking was just Grey.

I felt like TTP was my family. We had meetups, both official and unoffical, we made real life friends with people, and we brought families together and made lasting bonds with people that still continue to this day, in spite of the asshole I was back then.

All that family I made over the course of a few years was pushed away in an instant with one click of my mouse.

By the time I was banned and excommunicated, I had made the rank of high admin. I had become very close with all the high admins and then, in a youthful fit of anger I lashed back out at a community that I felt at the time had wronged me. I made a drama inciting post in the high admin forums about how one of the high admins in CS:S wasn't taking our no camping rule seriously, when in reality, I was getting butthurt over the fact that he was an amazing sniper and we played together enough to where he knew my routines and could constantly pwn the ever living shit out of me. I didn't agree with the answer that was agreed upon in the high admins forums, and I did something stupid.

TL;DR here: I deleted the content in the CS:S server. I went in to the FTP and tried to originally just remove all the things that I had added, content wise, but I eventually just ended up deleting it all. The music, scripts, logos, EVERYTHING.

I'm an idiot, I know.


#2. What server were you on? What admin do you believe banned you? What admins were there playing?

I wasn't playing on a server, as stated above. I would like to also state that at this point, I am unsure if I am still banned in CS:S, but I am more asking to be unbanned from the forums and be allowed to play on any TPG servers.

#3. Why should you be unbanned?

I can't remember how long its been since I've been able to play with some of the people I learned how to play computer games with. I know that I have tried a few times in the past, and clearly I was voted against, but I still feel like I have to give it a try every once in a while. What I did was stupid, and if I had a chance to go back in time and do it over again, I would tell the younger me to chill the fuck out, and that I'm not always right. I'm older, not a punk kid anymore, and I would just like to finally be able to come back and play with some friends.

#4. A written statement that you will refrain from doing anything that will get you banned again.

I doubt I would ever be trusted to hold any adminship in the future, but I can promise that I will not cause any problems on any server or the forums. I just want to be able to play with people who know what teamwork is again.

#5. Failure to address all of the above questions clearly will result in your post being locked and/or your unban request to go unprocessed. If you don't care, we don't care.

Understood.

#6. If your ban is sustained (upheld by the voting admins), you will have to wait at least 30 days before any additional request to be "unbanned" can be accepted.

Understood.


Again, I want to say sorry to not only the owners and admins of the site and servers, but also to the people who I let down by my actions. I wish I could take back everything.

That's completely understandable. It's been years, waiting a few days doesn't hurt.
