Rejected Ban for GR 1.3 | yashwanth Trigger

[Marco_saifi]

Dear Admin Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I'm writing to sincerely request a fair and thorough review of the ban I received on July 15, 2025, under rule G1.3 (scamming). I understand the seriousness of this rule, but I believe the situation was misrepresented, and I’d like the opportunity to explain everything clearly and transparently.

My Story (Full Context)​

I recently returned to Grand RP after a few months away and wasn’t fully familiar with the current economy and item values. Not long after I came back, I was contacted by someone I had known from before — he previously went by the name “Shadif-190116” In game (his Discord/mail name at the time). Because of our past friendly history, I trusted him.

He offered to sell me a Volex Type 2 watch for $4 million, assuring me I could easily resell it for $5 million. Based on that trust, I bought it — only to later find out the actual value was around $2 million. I calmly confronted him, returned the watch, and even offered him a commission if he could resell it instead. I was trying to handle the situation peacefully and respectfully.

Later, I asked him for help pricing some older battle pass items I had — including summer crates. He offered to guide me, and during a screen-share call, he instructed me step-by-step on how to list them:

• One crate for $150,000
• The other two for $6 million and $7 million

He told me they were “rare” and even said that if someone bought them by mistake, it would be “my luck.” He claimed he’d done the same before. I followed his instructions, assuming he knew what he was doing and that it was within the rules.

He even told me to sit at the beach and stay logged in so my shop wouldn’t close. At no point did I think I was doing anything wrong — I thought I was being helped by someone I trusted.

How I Was Set Up​

To my shock, I was later reported for scamming — by the same person who guided me through the entire process.

When I asked him to tell the truth to the admins, he refused. He said things like:

“Type what you want me to say, and I’ll copy-paste it.”
This made it seem like I was trying to pressure him, when all I wanted was for him to acknowledge the truth.

Later, he changed his story, claiming:

“You put the price and left mails.”
However, I have full screen recordings that clearly show otherwise:

• He gave me the exact prices to list.
• He was in a live screen-share, guiding me in real-time.
• His voice can be heard in VC during the setup.
• His Discord/mail name is visible in the recordings.
• On July 17, he changed his name from “Shadif” to “Spider Man,” possibly to hide his identity — but the voice in the recordings matches both names and is clearly the same person.

It became clear that he was trying to cover his tracks after realizing the situation might reflect badly on him.

Proof & Evidence Summary​

1. Confession – Pricing Guidance
Confession_1_Price_Guidance (LINK) & (LINK)
He admits giving me exact prices and guiding me through the process.

2. Confession – Watch Deal
Confession_2_Watch_Scam (LINK)
Shows I was misled on the watch price, and his role in that situation.

3. In-Game POV – Beach Market Setup with VC
BeachMarket_Setup_POV.mp4 (LINK)
Shows him beside me in-game and guiding me over VC while I ask if the pricing is okay — and he confirms it is.

4. Avoiding Confession When Confronted
Avoiding_Confession_Chat (LINK)
(Although the file is partly corrupted, his voice is still identifiable.) He refuses to talk, saying:

“There are some rules, I can’t talk about this here.”
Clearly showing hesitation once he realized I might be recording.

​

Why I Believe This Ban Is Unfair​

• I was misled and guided by someone I trusted.
• I had no intent to scam or break any rules.
• I have a clean record with no prior bans or warnings.
• I cooperated fully and even returned items voluntarily.
• I submitted clear, direct evidence showing what really happened.
• The person who reported me played a major role in what occurred and then changed his story.

What I’m Asking For​

• A fair and full review of all evidence — especially the Discord/mails recordings and game POV.
• Consideration of my clean record, honest intentions, and willingness to cooperate.
• A review of the other player’s involvement and behavior.
• If my good faith and lack of malicious intent are clear, I respectfully request that my ban be lifted.

Thank you very much for your time and for reading my appeal. I understand the importance of upholding rules and trust in the community, and I would never knowingly jeopardize that. I truly hope this situation can be looked at again with full context.
