(US)Pure Ban - Harveypup

[Scotty]

Offender:  Harveypup   Battle Metrics    Steam Profile
Server:    (US)Pure
Time: 11:43 AM   Eastern.
Length: Permanent
Reason: Stealing/Raiding/Griefing. 
More Info (Optional):

4/29/2026 -  Initially Harveypup was warned after it was discovered he stole an attack heli and twigged onto several bases to steal from them. 

 

These were the evidence images taken at the time. In the days that followed when players reported thefts or griefing (twig on their bases) the investigation showed Harveypup's name on everything. As all these transgressions had taken place before my first warning they were all considered to fall under that warning so no additional warnings were given, but the true extent of this players harm to the community revealed itself to be serious and extensive.

05/03/2026 - Another attack heli was reported stolen and the logs show it was Harveypup. 

Normally I'd give three chances to a player unless a threat to the community appears to be too great. In this case I had to consider two factors.

1. How widespread the previous infractions were forces me to evaluate the potential scale of the threat to the community and the harm which could be done.

2. This second infraction was another stolen attack heli which tells me the first warning for the exact same thing was either unread or ignored, which in of itself indicates the threat of repeat activity.

Based on this I could not in good conscience allow what I can only judge to be a potentially serious and even imminent threat to the community to remain so a permanent ban was issued.

I admit that I took one attack heli earlier and understand that it broke the rules. The warning I received for that was fair.

For the second incident, I want to clarify that I did not take that heli. My teammate had stolen it, and I only opened the fuel storage. I didn’t take any items or move anything from it.

I understand that after already being warned, even interacting with a stolen heli was a bad decision and I should have stayed completely away from it.

I’m not denying that it looks like repeat behaviour, but I didn’t commit a second theft. If possible, could you check the logs to confirm whether I flew it, not just accessed the heli.

I fully understand if a punishment is still necessary, but I’d be grateful if a permanent ban could be reconsidered to a temporary one.

Adding on:

One of the screenshots shown isn’t actually me “twigging” onto a base. I was able to place the twig freely, which suggests it wasn’t blocked building or attached to someone else’s base. It wasn’t used to bypass or grief - i also didnt take a thing

Thank you for participating in the appeals process Harveypup. I believe in redemption and giving people the chance to change. As this was still your second warning I'll give you one more chance. Please bear in mind, this is a one-time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Hopefully this post should encourage you to change your playstyle to align with the spirit of a PvE environment. And remember, if you don't own it, don't touch it, unless you have permission. 

The ban will be lifted within 24 hrs of the time of this post.
