Scythian

I greatly appreciate your input, Forest and while I agree with you that the actions I committed were both irresponsible and a fundamental betrayal of the responsibility I was given, I disagree with your statement about such an exception to the rules causing others to cite this case as a reason for their personal problems. I believe (both for my own personal sake and from an objective standpoint as possible) that decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis. XG is in the fortunate position of not legally (or even morally) being obligated to make permanent conditionals when it comes to member discipline. Furthermore, I believe that there are three circumstances wich differentiate my case from those of others:
 
1. I was 12/13 years old when I decided to make these poor decisions. I am now 17 and I believe that my level of maturity and judgment has improved significantly.
2. Similarly to 1, the event happened almost 5 years ago, meaning that there is potentially plenty of time for "rehabilitation" or a change of heart to occur within me (consider the example of a criminal sentenced for life who is able to receive parole)
3. My reputation before the incident was not one of uncaring or disrespect. Before leaving the clan I performed my duties well and often. It was not uncommon for me to be the only staff member on servers for periods of days.

Server Ban Information:

Hello everyone. I have once again succumbed to nostalgia and wish to return to the community. It has been nearly five years since my initial ban.

---The Facts---
I was an Admin for the CS:GO division of xG
I mostly played on the Jailbreak servers
I was banned on 11-25-12 at 7:09 p.m.
The reason for which was admin abuse.
I intended to leave the clan after this occurrence.
 
---My Opinion---
What I did was completely irresponsible and an abuse of the abilities I was entrusted with by the xG Staff and Community. I am heartily sorry not only to those directly affected by my misuse of power, but also to those whose trust I betrayed by performing such actions.
 
I was going through a rough period during my life where I was dealing with many transitions, including leaving my childhood home. To cope with these changes, I would often spend much of my time playing video games. An unhealthy amount of my time.
I eventually realized that I couldn't continue with my current course, and decided to "go out with a bang." This was incredibly stupid of me, and again, I am very sorry for my actions.
 
Prior to this occurrence, (IMO) I was a member who was well-respected throughout the clan (despite my young age).
 
---Conclusion---
I really can't express how dumb and embarrassed I feel for my prior actions, and I would understand if I were not the type of player that xG wants to foster, but I ask that you please consider my plea carefully, as I truly do miss both the outstanding quality of xG's servers, as well as it's incredibly kind and diverse community.
 
Thank you.
