      My username is Hillrop and I have been playing on this server since September of 2016 and I was recently banned from Dinklebergs TTT permanently. I want to clear things up, I want to to explain why I should be unbanned/ban reduced, and why I was banned in the first place.

Lets start out with the timeline. So a couple of weeks back I made a deal with Foxka that I would stop saying gamer if foxka could get my map, TTT_gamerpark into rotation (fig 1). The deal was that if I said gamer I would get week/month/perma banned but I would get a warning before a ban happened (this will be important later). So for a week or so I did well i didnt say gamer at all on the server. Then in a report i responded to it with Thanks Gamer (Fig2). The mod on at the time, EveryJuan saw the report response I made and screencapped and talked to an admin to get approval on the ban. The admin (i believe was Dakota, don't quote me on that tho)approved the ban (Fig3). I didn't realize I was banned till the following day after which I made a ban appeal (link). Back and forth ensued between me and Everyjuan over whether or not I should have gotten a warning at all. Everyjuan stated that he was not told hillrop should get a warning. I claimed because I got no warning the ban was illegitimate. After this back and forth continues I get a message from Dinkleberg asking if I was still banned. I responded yes to this question and he promised to unban me . Ultimately the unbans weren't working out ((fig4 still unsure as to why). I hopped on an alt since Dink had tried to unban me and it hadn't worked so I assumed it was fine to hop on an alt. I was unbanned by Foxka today and then quickly permabanned for what I have already stated above.
Before I try and defend myself in this part I just want to say that I am not blaming the staff for anything that happened as they were just doing their jobs. The way I treated them was terrible and I was an asshole. Just because I am frustrated does not give me the right to harass members of this community. I am sorry. For the next part let's talk about the reasons why I was banned and why some are justified and others aren't. First off is Ban evasion which is justified in a sense as I was ban evading. Let me just explain why I hopped on my alt. I got on my alt because dinkleberg had already tried to unban me from the server. So I saw that as if my ban was over (Dinkleberg himself said the ban was ridiculous) so I hopped on another account because my main wasn’t able to join due to unbanning bug. Im not trying to saying I wasn't ban evading I am just trying to explain my thought process. The next one is Trolling which I see why I was banned for that. My entire schtick is being a troll though like nopleez but its still confusing why it was added. The next one is Lying to staff which is to my understanding isnt true. To clear up my confusion I spoke with one of the admins who told me it was because I lied to staff as I didn't provide screenshots of the conversations with dinkleberg when asked. Even though I sent a screenshot of the convo to Everyjuan this morning (fig5). I didn't send the screenshots in chat because I had already sent them to Everyjuan and didn't think it was necessary for #general to see them.  Although i did eventually post them in the chat. The next point Insulting the Staff in my eyes is completely justified.
Now for why I should be unbanned. I know I can be really annoying sometimes but a lot of people on the server really like me as evidenced by the people upset with my ban. I love this server a helluva of a lot to an unhealthy degree. I made an entire map for it. I enjoy playing on the server and playing with the people on the server. If we take a step back we will realize this all started because I said gamer which is absurd. I'm not asking for a full unban here because that's unreasonable based on how i've acted. But the ban could be reduced from a perma back to its original ban that would be amazing. Again I apologize and thanks for reading all of this.

Other: Im sorry
Edit: I forgot to say that I handled this is as a joke when I first made a ban appeal.
Edit2: I do NOT support any of the people who come on the discord and attack the staff. I have not told of any of these people to do this and they are acting on their own volition.
