Ban Appeal Review DecisionAppealing User: mindpaced (Roblox ID: 3220915670) Discord ID: 1203536098609864728 Ban Type: Permanent Ban Ban Reason: V-TOS (Violation of Terms of Service) Staff Member: cruz8792 Ban Date: April 20, 2025 Case ID: 10348 Summary of Appeal:The user admits to making an inappropriate joke in-game, stating they are 13 years old and didn’t intend harm. They express regret for their “immature” behavior, acknowledging the comment came across as “gross.” The appeal emphasizes that the intent was humor, not malice, and asks for leniency as a younger player who made a mistake. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Violation ConfirmedAfter reviewing the case and moderation context: The V-TOS violation involved inappropriate and offensive language that breached the community’s core standards for respectful behavior. Regardless of age or intent, Mountain Interactive maintains a zero-tolerance policy for comments that violate Section 1.1 – Respectful Content Only, which prohibits sexual, explicit, or grossly inappropriate remarks. Admitting the joke was “gross” and that it “went too far” confirms awareness that the behavior was not acceptable. Purchasing game passes or using Robux does not justify or excuse behavior that makes the environment unsafe for others. Outcome:The permanent ban will remain in place. No further appeals will be reviewed unless significant time has passed and proof of behavior change is provided. We encourage all players to review our rules at mountaininteractive.com/rules before participating in the community again in the future. — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team [email protected]

Final Decision: ✅ No Action Needed – Warning Not FoundAfter reviewing the moderation records, there is no active warning for LTAP on your account as of April 17, 2025.

They express a willingness to accept responsibility if the action did occur, stating they want to improve and maintain a clean record. Final Decision: ❌ Warning Upheld – Evidence Confirms ViolationUpon full review: The video is still active and viewable via YouTube and was included in the original moderation log. The clip clearly shows the user engaging in behavior that meets the criteria for FailRP, including unrealistic actions within a public RP environment that disrupt standard gameplay. The user has a long pattern of rule violations, including: 3 bans (1 of which included FRP and NITRP as recently as March) This warning occurred right between two FRP-related bans Multiple FRP-linked actions across January to March, some of which were appealed and reduced, indicating leniency already provided Violated Rule(s):[2.5] Fail Roleplay (FRP) “Engaging in actions that are unrealistic or outside the boundaries of reasonable RP... includes but is not limited to unrealistic driving, combat behavior, or character conduct.” Outcome:The warning will remain on the user’s record Continued trend of FRP-related incidents indicates this warning was part of a broader behavioral concern Any future issues of the same type may result in stricter disciplinary action The user is encouraged to focus on long-term improvement and utilize the Mountain Interactive Rules as a guide to avoid further sanctions. — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team [email protected]

They also claim that Scene Interference (SI) does not apply because they were a party member rejoining a related but geographically separate encounter. Final Decision: ❌ Warning Upheld – Improper Re-entry into Active Scene After full review of the videos and appeal: In the footage, the user is confirmed to have died in a shootout and re-engaged in the same scenario shortly after through proximity and continued involvement with their group. While they may not have returned to the exact GPS coordinates of their death, the new entry into the evolving same pursuit is still considered part of the original scene, violating NLR guidelines: Furthermore, their re-entry mid-pursuit without visible re-initiation RP or valid justification aligns with: The rules also explicitly restrict re-involvement via alternate positioning when the scene is still active, even with VC or team communication. Scene continuity and realism are expected to be respected even across map zones. Outcome: ⚠️ Warning for NLR and SI will remain on the user’s record Due to repeated infractions, continued disregard for RP boundaries may result in elevated future actions User is advised to avoid all related scenes after death, regardless of location, and allow a full reset period before rejoining ongoing events — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

They state there was no video or report message ever sent to them, and they have no memory of being spoken to about the violation. The user emphasizes that they’ve grown since the time it was issued and have followed the rules consistently since then. Final Decision: ✅ Warning Removed – No Record or Evidence on File After reviewing available records: There is no attached video, mod note, or summary supporting the original FRP warning. Additionally, the issuing staff member is no longer on the moderation team, and we have no context to evaluate the action. Given that this warning is over a year old, was never acknowledged through direct message or review, and the user has maintained a clean record since, we consider this warning expired and improperly documented.

The evidence they originally provided was misapplied to them instead of the offending party, and they now request the warning be removed from their record. Final Decision: ✅ Warning Removed – Incorrect Application Confirmed After reviewing the video and appeal details: It’s clear that the user was the victim of RDM, not the offender. The video shows no roleplay initiation or hostile intent from the appealing user, confirming that the warning was mistakenly issued. This has now been corrected. Outcome: RDM warning has been fully cleared from the user’s record No additional action needed Staff will internally review this type of issue to prevent mislabeling reports in the future — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Updated Final Decision: ❌ Warning Upheld – Use of Lethal Force Without Clear JustificationWhile the appeal showed a genuine misunderstanding of the situation, and the player may not have intended to RDM, the clip clearly shows the user opening fire on a player who was not posing an active threat, violating: [Section 2.2] – PvP Guidelines [Section 2.1] – Roleplay Integrity (Lethal force must be reactive or properly escalated) There is no indication the other player fired or aimed at the officer, and the area was not clearly marked as an active threat zone. Officers must verify threats and use non-lethal options or voice warnings before engaging civilians or armed individuals who are not attacking.

Evidence Reviewed: Ban ID 65053 – Alt account usage Linked alt account: BUG6Tennis User was under One Strike Policy at the time of violation Moderation History: No prior warnings or kicks Placed under One Strike Policy on January 12, 2025 Permanently banned on January 31, 2025 for ban evasion via alternate account No appeals submitted prior to this request Summary of Appeal: The user acknowledges being banned for alt accounting and additional rule violations such as fail driving and ignoring combat timers. They state that after taking time away from Roblox, they now better understand the rules and would like a second chance to return and follow them properly. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – One Strike Policy Violation The user was placed under an active One Strike Policy before this incident. Despite that, they attempted to bypass enforcement by accessing the game using an alternate account, directly violating: [Section 5.2] – Ban Evasion and Account Circumvention [Section 2.1] – General RP Guidelines (FailRP) [Section 1.5] – Common Sense & Community Trust The One Strike Policy is clearly outlined and non-negotiable once a final enforcement occurs. This ban was the result of a confirmed violation after that policy was applied, and the appeal does not directly acknowledge or take accountability for that agreement. Outcome: Permanent ban will remain in effect User may reapply for appeal no earlier than 60 days from today, and only with a full acknowledgment of the One Strike Policy terms Any further attempts to rejoin using other accounts will result in full platform-level removal from the community — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

They assert a case of mistaken identity and request to be unbanned, apologizing generally for any harm caused while also denying the specific behavior they were banned for. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – V-TOS Violation Confirmed After reviewing the evidence and moderator notes: The V-TOS ban was issued based on direct moderation review of chat logs, where the user made comments containing filtered and inappropriate terms in public or proximity chat. This violates: [Section 1.1] – Respectful Content Only [Section 1.5] – Common Sense & Community Trust [Section 5.0] – Platform Integrity & Staff Compliance While the user disputes making the specific statement that resulted in the ban, the reviewing moderator verified the log prior to enforcement. In cases of V-TOS or inappropriate content, staff actions are not taken lightly and must be supported by clear evidence. The user's prior ban for RDM and LTAA also establishes a minor but relevant pattern of disruptive behavior, further reducing the benefit of the doubt in this case. Outcome: Permanent ban will remain in place No further appeals will be accepted unless new, clear evidence emerges showing this ban was issued in error Users are reminded that filtered, disrespectful, or inappropriate language — even if said jokingly — is subject to permanent removal under community standards — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Ban Appeal Review DecisionAppealing User: 3xFyQRN (Roblox ID: 1770409289) Discord ID: 888678471688155196 Ban Type: Permanent Ban Ban Reason: Exploiting (EXP), followed by alternate account usage Staff Member: RylanBLP Evidence Reviewed: Ban ID not listed in system, but logged in moderation archives Initial admission of exploiting User’s own statement confirming alt usage following ban Moderation History: Confirmed use of exploits to track and locate another player Admitted alt usage to bypass permanent ban No prior warnings or bans before the exploiting incident, but the nature of the offense bypasses standard escalation Summary of Appeal: The user admits to using exploits during a heated moment after being killed and robbed in-game. Instead of reporting through proper channels, they used unfair methods to track the player. After being banned, the user also admits they created and played on an alternate account. They now express remorse for both offenses, stating they’ve stopped exploiting, played fairly on the alt, and made new friends in the community. The appeal requests forgiveness and reinstatement based on time passed and growth since the incident. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Exploitation and Ban Evasion After reviewing the appeal and the user's full acknowledgment of behavior: The use of exploits to gain an advantage in a PvP or economy-based roleplay scenario is a severe breach of trust and directly violates: [Section 2.6] – Use of Exploits, Scripts, or External Tools [Section 5.0] – Platform Integrity & Staff Compliance [Section 1.5] – Common Sense & Community Trust This situation was further escalated by the user’s deliberate choice to evade the permanent ban by creating and using an alternate account, which violates: [Section 5.2] – Ban Evasion and Account Circumvention While the appeal is well-written and sincere, and the user demonstrates an understanding of the impact their behavior caused, the combination of confirmed exploiting followed by ban evasion removes the opportunity for reconsideration at this time. Outcome: Appeal denied. The permanent ban remains in effect Any attempts to rejoin under a different account will result in additional enforcement If a future appeal is submitted, it must be at least 6 months from the date of this decision and include proof of continued commitment to fair play and community trust Mountain Interactive does not tolerate exploiters or players who knowingly bypass enforcement decisions. — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

In response to what they describe as fear of losing in-game assets, they preemptively shot the officer before any interaction was initiated. They acknowledge being scared but state they don’t believe a permanent ban is necessary. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Repeated RDM Behavior After reviewing the clip and appeal: The video shows the user exiting the apartment and immediately opening fire on the officer without any direct threat or provocation. This was a clear instance of random deathmatch, violating the following rules: [Section 2.2] – Player vs. Player (PvP) Rules [Section 2.1] – Not in the Roleplay / Poor RP Initiation [Section 1.5] – Common Sense & Community Trust This marks the fourth separate RDM-related action on the user’s record, following multiple prior bans and a warning. Despite progressive discipline, the user has failed to adjust their behavior. The explanation offered (“I was scared of being arrested”) does not justify or excuse a lethal preemptive attack without roleplay initiation.

They originally typed “11” but then corrected themselves in the same conversation, stating they were 17. They now claim the ban was a misunderstanding and are requesting to be unbanned due to the false interpretation of their message. Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Correction Valid After reviewing the screenshots and appeal: The original ban was enforced under [Section 5.0] – Platform Integrity & Staff Compliance, which includes the enforcement of Roblox's Terms of Use. At the time, staff interpreted the user’s message as a self-admission of being underage, which triggered an immediate permanent ban to ensure compliance. However, the user corrected the age within the same exchange. No additional violations or platform safety concerns have followed since then. The correction appears genuine and consistent with the user’s current age and account behavior. Outcome: Ban lifted The user is expected to avoid all age-related discussion moving forward Any future behavior involving age misrepresentation, unsafe conduct, or violation of platform integrity will result in immediate and permanent removal without appeal. — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Ban Appeal Review DecisionAppealing User: WhereRose (Roblox ID: 650512290) Discord ID: 736073421225721906 Ban Type: Temporary Ban (3 Days) Ban Reason: FRP, NITRP, SI, LTAA Staff Member: q_Sxmply Evidence Reviewed: Ban ID 70212 – Evidence Clip Summary of Appeal: The user claims they were simply driving while in first-person and were unexpectedly shot at by law enforcement. In response, they state they panicked and attempted to flee, circled back without the intent to harm, and eventually left the game due to IRL reasons. The user disputes each charge individually and argues that some rule categories are outdated or not applicable to their case. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Violations Substantiated After thoroughly reviewing the video and context: 1. [Section 2.2] – FailRP / Unrealistic BehaviorThe user repeatedly circles back into an active, armed officer-involved shooting scene while driving erratically and nearly colliding with units. While first-person driving is not inherently FRP, using it as justification for reckless and immersion-breaking driving behavior—especially after gunfire had already been exchanged—does not excuse or override the realism standards expected. 2. [Section 5.1] – Scene Interference (SI)The claim that the user “became” part of the scene due to being shot at is not supported by the footage. The user is seen intentionally returning to the area twice, while police are clearly still engaging in active RP. Entering or re-entering an armed scene without a valid RP reason is explicitly prohibited, and this behavior meets the standard for Scene Interference. 3. [Section 2.1] – Not In The Roleplay (NITRP)While recent moderation messaging has suggested softening the use of "NITRP" as a standalone label, the actions here reflect behavior defined by the core of the term: non-serious, disruptive behavior with no meaningful contribution to the RP scene. Driving into an active shootout with no valid RP lead-up, then leaving mid-scene without notifying staff, supports the application of NITRP under the general expectation of meaningful RP contribution. 4. [Section 2.5] – LTAA (Leave to Avoid Arrest)The user disconnects immediately after fleeing from officers and making a final stop in the middle of the road. Whether the officer had lights activated at that exact second is irrelevant; the entire context—including being pursued in a prior gunfire situation—makes it clear that this was not a clean or safe point to exit the game. Disconnecting while law enforcement is preparing to initiate detainment falls within the scope of LTAA. Outcome: The 3-day ban is valid and will remain in place The user is expected to re-review the following rules before returning: Section 2.1 – NITRP [Section 2.2 – FailRP / PvP Behavior] [Section 2.5 – LTAA] [Section 5.1 – Scene Interference] The staff team appreciates the thoughtfulness of the appeal, but the video evidence and behavior pattern do not support a reversal of this action. — Reviewed and posted by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

No further explanation is provided, and there is no acknowledgment of the prior LTAA or the related FRP warning issued just before the ban. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Behavior Pattern Confirmed After reviewing the evidence: The clip clearly shows the user resetting during the arrest booking process in an active RP situation, violating: [Section 2.5] – Resetting/Leaving to Avoid Arrest [Section 1.5] – Common Sense & Community Trust This comes less than 24 hours after a separate LTAA ban for leaving during a previous arrest scenario. A recent FRP warning was also issued immediately prior to both incidents, establishing a consistent pattern of disrupting RP and avoiding consequences. The explanation of “my brother was on my PC” offers no verifiable proof and is a commonly used excuse in ban evasion and appeal scenarios. It does not override the repeated nature of the behavior captured in logs and video. Outcome: Ban will remain in place and expire automatically after 24 hours User is advised to review community rules carefully, particularly regarding arrest scenarios Any further attempts to avoid RP consequences through resets, disconnects, or excuses may result in longer suspensions or escalation to permanent action The staff team expects full participation in scenes and respect for both players and the roleplay environment. — Reviewed by the Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Reinstated with Conditions After reviewing the full history and context: The “V-TOS | Attempting to Bypass” ban stemmed from behavior determined to be in violation of Mountain Interactive’s communication and integrity standards — including filtered terms or inappropriate phrasing used in ways that attempted to intentionally circumvent rules or moderation systems.

The appeal admits that they bypassed proper channels and took the matter into private messages where inappropriate language and personal attacks occurred. The user acknowledges their actions created a hostile environment and accepts full responsibility for the outcome. In a later clarification, they also distanced themselves from the individual whose firing initially triggered their reaction, explicitly denouncing his later actions. Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Reinstated with Formal Warning After reviewing the full appeal and context: The user acknowledges their wrongdoing, takes full responsibility, and expresses remorse without deflecting blame. They do not minimize the impact of their behavior, instead offering detailed reflection and insight into why it was wrong. The clarification provided shows a deliberate step away from any association with related disruptive actors and confirms they are not part of ongoing drama or off-platform misconduct. This is the user's first and only disciplinary action on record, with no prior warnings or bans. The ban was justified at the time due to the tone, approach, and environment created — but the reflection and growth since then merit reinstatement.

They followed through with submitting a formal appeal when requested, and provided consistent communication through Discord. Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Reinstated with Monitoring After reviewing the full context: The original reason for the ban was not due to in-game exploitation or severe roleplay violation, but rather due to repeated disrespectful appeal behavior and DM spam, which was emotional and impulsive, not malicious. Since then, the user has been cooperative, shown maturity in tone, and acknowledged past actions without shifting blame. This appears to be a case of someone who acted out of frustration but is now seeking a genuine return.

The user requests a second chance, citing long-time community involvement and prior purchases in Mountain Interactive titles. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Exploitation Confirmed This appeal confirms: Direct admission to using a known exploit tool (Infinite Yield), which is a severe breach of Mountain Interactive’s Section 2.6 – Exploiting and External Tool Use The user states they were aware it was not allowed, yet chose to do it anyway. Attempted deception following the ban further compounds the issue. The anti-cheat system correctly detected and enforced the ban, and external review from a known exploitation group (Xeno) supports the claim. Additionally: A donation or prior purchase does not exempt any user from community enforcement or rule compliance. The user’s prior moderation history includes: RDM, Tool Abuse, RSI, SI, and a prior ban for V-PT — showing a pattern of disruptive behavior even before the exploitation event.

These new rules are here to reset expectations and prevent abuse moving forward. 💡 Why We Did This: We want Mountain Interactive to stay fun, fair, and collaborative.

Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – Repeated Rule Violations Confirmed After reviewing the evidence and moderation history: The video shows the user engaging in combat without clear RP initiation, followed by disregard for staff instructions during an active moderation situation. This behavior confirms RDM and SI, consistent with the ban reason. The user's record includes 5 prior bans in less than four months, all involving major RP breaches: RDM (x2), LTAA, FRP, and prior Team Abuse Multiple warnings and video-confirmed notes show no signs of improvement or behavior correction. This pattern demonstrates no regard for roleplay standards, staff direction, or community rules. Outcome: Permanent ban will remain in place No future appeals will be considered unless a significant amount of time has passed with a written acknowledgment of all previous violations and a detailed plan for reform Mountain Interactive cannot make exceptions for users with extensive rule breaking records who have been given multiple chances and failed to correct their behavior. — Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Ban Appeal Review DecisionAppealing User: Mathiasersej234 (Roblox ID: 1554148254) Discord ID: 1340762868580225107 Ban Type: Previously Banned – Reinstatement Request Ban Reason: RDM, NITRP Staff Member: Unknown Evidence Reviewed: Clip 1 – https://medal.tv/games/roblox/clips/im0a3dQtlBfo2smKd/d1337ZmZaycC Clip 2 – https://medal.tv/games/roblox/clips/im0gIvOrJ5NhKhfj7/d1337XrGNltE Moderation History: 3 Kicks (V-PT, V-TOS, IWS) 1 Warning (PD) 1 Note referencing permanent ban and linked clips Summary of Appeal: The user says the incident occurred more than six months ago and that they no longer recall the specifics. They admit to poor conduct at the time and ask for a second chance, stating they’ve matured and no longer play for “kills” but for the roleplay experience. They express interest in returning and acknowledge past mistakes. Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Reinstated with Warning Although the current record displays 0 active bans, the linked evidence and user statement confirm that a permanent ban was issued for RDM and NITRP, both of which are serious violations. The user has not attempted to hide or deny the incident. Enough time has passed (6+ months) to justify reconsideration. The appeal is honest, acknowledges wrongdoing, and shows intent to improve. Outcome: Reinstated A formal warning is placed for record-keeping Future RDM, trolling, or non-roleplay behavior will result in immediate escalation Welcome back — you’ve been given a second chance. Please review all community rules before participating again. — Mountain Interactive Moderation Team [email protected]

Ban Appeal Review Decision Appealing User: amproboatsailer (Roblox ID: 2679317236) Discord ID: Not provided Ban Type: Temporary Ban (1 Day) Ban Reason: LTAA (Leave to Avoid Arrest) Staff Member: PokiWeston Evidence Reviewed: Streamable Clip – https://streamable.com/6dwrxi Moderation History: [56731] – RSI, FRP, RDM (1 Day Ban – Sep 15, 2024) [14009] – LTAA Warning (Aug 23, 2024) [15600] – (F)RP Warning (Oct 8, 2024) [70025] – LTAA (This Ban – Apr 16, 2025) Summary of Appeal: The user claims they were not trying to avoid arrest but rather experienced a crash or disconnect. They do not deny being in an arrest situation at the time but argue it was not intentional and want the incident reversed from their record. Final Decision: ❌ Appeal Denied – LTAA Confirmed After reviewing the provided video: The user is visibly under arrest, standing in close proximity to law enforcement officers during an active detainment. Within seconds of officers issuing commands, the user disconnects mid-scene without any visible technical stutter or delay. There is no follow-up reconnection, message, or log indicating a legitimate crash. The behavior fits the standard for Section 2.5 – Leave to Avoid Roleplay (LTAR / LTAA), where a player exits the server during or immediately before arrest or detainment. Additionally: The user has a prior LTAA warning, making this a repeat offense. The previous ban also included FRP and RDM, further reinforcing a history of RP interruptions and scene avoidance. Outcome: The ban will remain valid on record No changes or removals will be made to this enforcement Any further LTAA behavior will result in a longer suspension or escalation to permanent removal if repeated again We encourage players to always remain in the server until scenes are fully resolved. If a disconnect is legitimate, it is expected that players contact staff as soon as possible or reconnect to continue the roleplay. — Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]

Ban Appeal Review DecisionAppealing User: JALDIDY (Roblox ID: 474472571) Discord ID: 520335239311130636 Ban Type: Permanent Ban Ban Reason: V-TOS Violation – Use of Racial Slur Staff Member: Not listed Evidence Reviewed: Evidence Clip – https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1054099159810060289/1350916167660998656/IHFOTJgFGymCeql7w6hDQ.mp4 Summary of Appeal: The user admits to using a racial slur in a joking manner during an interaction with a law enforcement player at the dealership. They state the intent was not malicious, but acknowledge it was inappropriate and against community standards. The appeal expresses remorse, emphasizes that the rules have since been reviewed, and asks for a second chance to return to roleplay respectfully. Final Decision: ✅ Appeal Accepted – Reinstated With Warning After reviewing the video and considering the appeal: The slur was clearly used and is not permitted under any circumstance, regardless of context or tone. The user takes full accountability for the incident and does not attempt to justify or minimize the impact. This is the user’s first major violation, and their response shows genuine understanding of the issue. While the ban reason remains justified, we believe this appeal warrants a second chance with a formal warning on record. Outcome: Ban lifted A formal warning has been placed in the user’s history for V-TOS violation Any future slur usage or V-TOS breaches will result in immediate permanent removal from the community We appreciate the honesty in this appeal. Mountain Interactive does not tolerate the use of slurs under any circumstances. All players are expected to uphold respectful standards at all times. — Mountain Interactive Moderation Team https://mountaininteractive.com/rules [email protected]
