The ban is 3 days. I'm appealing it because the error was an accident, I'm still awaiting my training at an appropriate time from LOG - so no - nobody told me about slaying VIA tab or XGUI.
Well. This is not something I haven't said before. They should talk to you before banning you. If they had taken out 2 minutes to speak to you, it would've been clear you made a mistake. I've also mentioned that raising the price of paid mod is not an issue, the training is. This is a perfect example. Nothing you could've done to prevent it.

This isn't a drivers license, and isn't a close comparison to the server. There are different mistakes to be made, and when you consider that the ban is only temporary, and you look at the consistency of other bans (IE: 10 minute ban for a repeat offender) - the ban on me seems way too overlooked.
Bans are judged individually. To be fair, you should've asked an admin about the commands before performing them anyways. This was a risk you took by using the command without decent training. It works just the same as a drivers license in fact. It's something that is based on trust. It works with points. Thus more mistakes you make thus the more they are going to limit you in your future.

Neither actions were on purpose. I didn't spam trees, I left one tree, and that's in the past - it's been cleared up. My ban was NOT for the tree, it was for propclimbing. At the time I was new to GMOD, and really didn't know the definition.
They were for both. Either way, you've been punished before and Agent probably took this in consideration.

By no means can you deem any of the actions I've taken, aside from the retarded tree, as something done on purpose. If I were REALLY out to cause trouble on the server, I doubt I'd put in the amount of effort I do to help people and do my job.
If you were insecure/unaware of command use.. you should've asked an admin about it for instructions. Instead you carried on driving a vehicle you didn't know how to handle. That's a bit irresponsible isn't it? I'm sure you do good work, but Agent can only judge by your history.
I do think 3 days is too long, especially since he didn't know this background information. But you failed to be assertive.
