Ban Reason: https://imgur.com/7MJSxFe
Why I Should Be Unbanned: I believe my ban was the result of a BIG misunderstanding, and I’d like to explain the situation. The incident started with an officer, who is supposedly a supervisor. This officer was not clearing the intersection properly, which led to us accidentally t-boning his vehicle (more like a desync on my screen). We had lights and sirens on, and the light was green for us, as shown in the clip, so we had the right of way. At the time, I didn’t know he was a supervisor because all rank tabs and chevrons/insignias were open to everyone, and he sounded very young. During the incident, the officer was shouting something, but his voice was muffled. I informed him that I couldn’t hear him, and soon after, we left the scene. After switching vehicles and leaving the station with our lights on, we were on our way to assist a firefighter who was dealing with a GSW victim. The firefighter requested help because bystanders were interfering with his attempt to render aid. So we were responding code to the scene and then we got jailed, the admin said in-game that we were getting banned for “Running from the Police as Cops” (In RP, there is no Law in CA that requires Emergency Vehicles with activated lights and sirens to pull over for other LE Vehicles). Unfortunately, the admin did not properly review the evidence before issuing the ban. I feel like the decision was made hastily and without full consideration of the circumstances. While I have been banned before for minor reasons that could easily be sorted out with the Trust and Safety team but didn’t because they’re usually short bans of 1-2 days. However, this ban is more significant, as it could result in a permanent ban. That’s why I’m taking the time to appeal this decision now. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope this clarifies the situation.


(I’ve also had prior interactions with this officer and the same admin as a civilian, and their past decisions were questionable. For example, the office once arrested me for assault, even though I was the victim in that situation, and he had no evidence of me committing assault. When I reached out to staff (the same staff member who later banned me for this appeal incident), I was told the burden of proof was on me, not the officer, and was asked, “Do you have a clip of you NOT assaulting anyone?”)

Dear @maper ,

Thank you for your appeal regarding your recent ban from Mountain Interactive. After careful review, we are happy to inform you that your appeal has been accepted. The reason for this decision is as follows:

Reason: As you pointed out, you had the right of way and the other vehicle failed to clear their intersection. Afterwards there was no indication to you that you were being pulled over when you were jailed for fleeing.

We encourage you to reflect on our community guidelines to ensure a positive experience in the future. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,
The Volunteer Moderation Team
