First, I would like to make it clear that this is NOT an appeal. It is me just voicing my opinion and apology on the situation that got me banned.
So in basic terms, I was banned for positing the
"Address" of a player on the server, Before I get into the bulk of the apology, I would like to give you a list of the issues of the ban.
-
- First, I was defending my friend. Which I am sure anyone would do.
- The person who's address it was, threatened to DDoS my friend and attack another. Which are both illegal things to do.
- I didn't post his address, I posted a link to his Facebook, and got his home town from there, which is what I put on the server, not his address like suggested. Meaning that it was not illegal to post like I was told as it was publicly accessible
.
Even though what I did was not illegal, I still understand that it was wrong. I dove into his personal information, which even though it was public and accessible, still doesn't give me the right to do. I know that I did a really bad thing and that I cannot go back, but what I did was a spur of the moment issue. I was extremely annoyed that a person on the server would threaten my friend in such a way so I made my move to get back at him, not thinking about the blow back. I am sure anyone here would do what they thought would be the thing do to protect a friend, in real life or online, so I thought by threatening to tell he police of his home town. So theoretically, I did not post his address, I only used his home tome which I got off his Facebook that I got sent the link to. Which is why I said it would be illegal. As I said, even though it was not illegal, which I would like to stress, I fully understand that what I did was the wrong thing to do and that I should have told an admin or mod. So, as I end this, I would fully like to apologise to CodComedyTj for what I did, however you must understand, even though it was a threat, DDoSing is a serious issue and nothing to joke about, and to owners of the server for the event I had caused.
P.S. if any admin or mod needs the proof of this threat, I am sure my friend Colonel Gadaffi (Yes, that is his name) has is.
