I know I have amassed many notes over time from me playing. Many of these mistakes were when I was rather new to Space Station, and since being new, I went for security before I was ready. However, I believe my gathered knowledge, admitted mistakes, and apology for these mistakes are reason for me being unbanned.
Over the time since I have been banned, I have played Space Station 13 more. I have made sure to play non-security roles, as I have seen these got me in trouble in the past. I have played more and more, taking in knowledge from around places I have played, and learned from these places. Reading guides online, and by simple trial and error, I have garnished experience from around the community. I now believe I know how to conduct myself on Space Station 13 without bringing myself to trouble and admin messages.
I have also taken myself as to looking into why I have been banned. Observing these mistakes, one does see I shot people, a lot. However, I chock this up to my inexperience, and my trigger happiness around weapons. However, I agree that ignorance and being new has not, isn't, and will not be an excuse. Some of my other mistakes, such as with being security, are also due to inexperience, and my yearning for all the cool toys they get, without being prepared for the responsibilities it brings.
Even though I have made mistakes, I think one of the largest reason for my unbanning is my willingness to admit to these mistakes. Yes, I have been so called "shitcurity". Yes, I have been trigger happy and shot people before. But I have taken in those mistakes, and used them as a learning opportunity to better myself as a player. I have reviewed my conduct as of late, and used it in it's entirety to improve my conduct as a player on the server. I know that what I have done in the past is bad, and I will not try to cover it up, as I have done it. Instead of trying to deny them or cover them up behind some façade, I admit to my mistakes, and apologize deeply for them.
We have all made mistakes one time or another while playing. However, I use these mistakes as a new place to learn and improve. I also do not try to hide or deny them, as they are fact. I instead apologize for those mistakes, as the only way to improve oneself is to admit to the mistakes being made, and working to improve them. These reason, combined with manifold others, are reasons as to why I think I should be unbanned.
