US:Survival - Ban Appeal : Nine months Later

[Darktweets]

It's been approximately nine months since this event occured. 

Hoping I might be able to get this appealed. It was an unfortunate circumstance, I'd like a chance to return.

I feel as though I should say more on this topic. 

Several occured at the height of this - medication that stopped working, causing uncontrolled mania, and poor decision making processes,  the inability to take responsibility for my actions, paranoia and general anxiety that made me take every slight personally. It took about six months of rather serious mental health care and crafting to get back to a place where I could accept myself and my actions. to not be in an ever-changing repetative cycle of manic-normal-depressiveness. to find a medication formulae that actually worked. It took an additional three months of actively playing in other environments to ensure that I could interact with other people without causing distress to them, and be a fruitful, positive person. 

I have seen many who have bided their time, and requested to return after a month, or even three, unsuccessfully because their behavior pattern did not change. I did not wish to be one of them. I wished to be fully capable of interacting with others in positive lights. 

So I ask of this.

Thank you for your appeal. 

I want to start by saying that mental health is important and it's very brave of you to discuss and also address in general and I'm very glad you are feeling better. As a community we never try to ban anyone and want everyone to have a fair chance to have fun. You have been a part of this community for a long time and it's never easy to see someone gone. I do understand taking matters into your own hands was out of character for you.

That being said, we have decided to give you a second chance. Just one.
The ban will be lifted once 72 hours have passed, but it will remain on your record.  The ban will be lifted with zero tolerance for any additional poor choices or behavior regardless of the reason. Any additional issues will result in an immediate ban on the first offence with no chance of appeal. Let this be the final warning. 

Take a few minutes before rejoining and refresh yourself on the rules to avoid any chance of breaking them. If you are unclear on any of them, or aren't sure what is permitted, reach out to the staff and we'll be happy to clarify them for you.

● No raiding, griefing or looting of any kind.
● No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, politics, racism or harassment.
● No camping loot rooms, monuments or any highly concentrated areas.
● You may build in caves, but you must ensure safe passage for other players.
● No blocking water ways, building around monuments or large areas of unused land.

(Please read the splash page as well, as each server type has slight variations regarding specific features of those servers.)

Welcome back.

Thank you. I highly appreciate it. 

I completely understand the zero tolerance rule, I've seen it played out before. I appreciate the last chance.

looking at the time it was accepted and changed to have 72 hours on it by my rough calculation there is still about 12 hour's left till it lifts.
