Hello Argonath, Salmonella here once again,

http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=109829.msg1739157#msg1739157

More than five months have passed since my previous unban request was, sadly, rejected. By posting the URL to that unban request, I would like to once again highlight all the mistakes I've made, but also all the apologies. Both still stand, but I firmly believe time heals all wounds. That is why I'm trying again, hoping these five months have been on my side and that more of you will be able to forgive me.

I took a good look at the previous unban request and I found that I don't have a lot more to add about it. I feel like it is better to quote the honest and meant apologies than to start repeating myself. I don't have any better words and still mean everything I said. However, time has passed and other things have changed.

In these past five months I've stayed out of trouble. I've been trying to stay in the loop a bit, and have for a week or two actually played in the Minecraft server with friends that I introduced to the server. I did however get banned after I turned myself in to the Minecraft server leader. I did this to help one of my friends (the one that's posting this, actually) because he was being harassed and got threatened by another player. Some of it was much in the same way I would have done years ago.

I decided that I wanted to act upon that, so I took screenshots and collected more proof of the threats and bullying this player was doing to my friend (threatened to DDoS/hack him, started invading his and his friends personal life through Facebook, tried to blackmail him if we reported him and -his- friends, etc.).

With this I went to the server leader Leon and told him everything that was up, that I'd been playing on the server, and that I felt like I couldn't just keep playing while this was happening. This player was banned from the server, but it also ended my account's access to the server.

Apart from playing a bit on Minecraft, I've been going on the way I've been going since and before I wrote the previous unban request: staying out of the servers until I get unbanned.

I really hoped I'd be granted another chance when I wrote my previous unban request, that sadly wasn't the case. In there, I've also been accused of using hacks and even Gandalf himself was very firm on that I had in fact done this. I however still stick to my point that I have never used any kind of hacks on SA:MP, on Argonath, or against any Argonath servers or players. Hacking isn't my thing. I did something with aimbots when I was 10 years old in a game called Wolfenstein ET, but other than that, never.

I will admit that time is starting to take its toll on my hope, but like Gandalf himself said: 'You only fail if you give up on your goals before reaching them'.



I'm posting this in behalf of Salmonella due to his forum ban. I basically got the chance to meet him through skype around 5 months ago, and a little bit of gaming through the minecraft server for a week or two. I trust my instincts about him, and I hope that you do as well. I haven't seen anything less than a great guy, that's fun to play and chat with, and with who I'd love to play more with. I too vouch for him like Kris did and I give my word(if it is worth anything) that he can be a proper member of the community. If he is unbanned and returns and somehow breaks the rules again and gets banned for it, I am willing to take the same punishment for vouching for him.

He can make his own unban when he has access to a forum account.
