DDoS Warn: I sadly don't have footage to back it up from when I was on (another staff member might), but by memory the joke was similar in wording to "Help I'm being DDoS'd". Technically, per the wording of Da Rules, DDoS jokes targeting yourself kinda walk a grey area if not completely put you in the clear. I think this really should have been a verbal at most, versus a warn.

Hackusations: I've reviewed quite a bit of the footage myself, and personally I haven't found anything that screams definitive hacking. Quite a bit of it is definitely cause for suspicion, but nothing blatant in my opinion. I don't think your prior admission to cheats, as well as your long ban history help your case here. However, since there is no (again, in my opinion) definitive proof in our case, I don't think it's fair to keep the ban on.

Mass RDM: Yeah, you definitely deserved this one. You at the very least apologized, as in you at least said the words " I want to apologize for lashing out". I don't agree with what you said after the fact, but whatever. I still don't believe this should go completely unpunished though.

One more thing, I don't really appreciate you accusing Damien of "targeting you". It's standard practice after a chat/vc related warn to gag/mute the warned player. The warn was regarding a VC message, so it's common practice to gag. I don't agree with the warn, but still everything Damien did as far as handling the warn was completely within guidelines. You claim "he wanted a reaction" out of you, but it was completely your choice and yours alone to mass. Quit blaming others for your own mistakes.

Basically, my final opinions are to nix the DDoS warn and the hack ban, but maybe downgrade the mass perma to a 1-2 week ban. I think that might be a bit generous given the overall lack of humility you've shown, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt given the misconceptions/bad warn.

TLDR: +1 Hack Ban Removal, +1 DDoS Joke Warn Removal, Downgrade Mass RDM Perma to a 1-2 Week ban.

I heard another user named Love4Puppys literally say the words she was going to "doxx herself" (I personally had no problems with this statement and neither did staff) But when I started lagging that night I simply said the words "I'm being ddosed" and I am suddenly warned and gagged by Damien for multiple rounds I could not tell you why he has this personal problem with me from the moment he met me but hey thats just who he is I guess, he wanted a reaction out of me and I gave it, I should of known better

Why do you keep saying I targeted you at all? I gagged and warned you for breaking a rule (Ddos jokes) and asked "Why do you hack in an 18 year old game" after we collected the evidence of you hacking and getting banned for mass rdm. That's it, that's basically all of our interactions.

Warned solely because he was verbally warned for previous edgy behavior, server wasn't getting ddosed and it came out of nowhere. So yeah It can get removed, idk why this is the focus lmao.

the rules for ddos jokes are written in a way that allows for too much wiggle room, we don't allow self doxxing jokes so I figured that was okay to warn for. Again, this shouldn't be the focus of the appeal because the dude massed and (imo) hacked.
