No we've never played together and now that you've entertained the idea that RDM can be tempting, a portion of this community will always go out of their way to keep you out out of it. Unfortunately that's what gmod has become, sometimes unforgiving. People mostly aren't interested in how many more agains you will have.
But given how you're generally new, this appeal still speaks toward how you see there's more to TTT than just that (if you have integrity).  

I saw someone express, "I don’t think being unbanned will help you learn from this." and I just want to disagree in the respective order of a few things which you're free to disagree with as well, but from my experience. Permanent or indefinite bans more likely than not will take away an important element of change, which is opportunity. How we're given chances in real life and how we fail and then how we apply what we learn in incremental steps is the only way we can see growth. Although it's a respectable decision that you would allow them to grow elsewhere. Another thing is the possibility that strictness and severity may cause that person under fire to come back with an unjust vendetta, making alt accounts on a hidden IP for example, causing the trouble you were meant to avoid.
 
it seems like you put some effort in, it can be difficult hoping it's both enough and not too much at the same time. And from what I see you've made a lot of friends, notably more than you've made enemies. As a player who has been lucky enough to come back from a mass RDM worse than this one at some point, my only tip for you is that waiting for your T round only makes your kills that much more rewarding ;)
