<2022-09-06T17:40:14.000Z> johnbudd1350: Is there an appeals process to vetting? I made a mistake years ago and would like a second chance, but I think my email has been categorically ignored. I understand if it's a "decision has been made, it's over" but I would still like to try for a second vetting on appeal to explain myself and apologize, which I never got the chance to do. 
<2022-09-06T18:17:18.000Z> svenpai: How recently did you write back in? 
<2022-09-06T18:17:42.000Z> svenpai: Presumably a years' old rejection can be revisited
<2022-09-06T18:25:19.000Z> johnbudd1350: It's been several years since the incident (TRSlemania in Chicago) but I don't know the exact date of rejection because it was just radiosilence. 
<2022-09-06T18:25:48.000Z> johnbudd1350: Again I was previously vetted, this was a second vetting required after moving 
<2022-09-06T18:26:10.000Z> johnbudd1350: I think it's been at least a year since I wrote in. Possibly a year and a half 
<2022-09-06T18:45:20.000Z> svenpai: What happened at Chicago Mania and by what name were you known? 
<2022-09-06T20:14:29.000Z> johnbudd1350: I went by George and then later Joel, can't remember when I switched tbh. Anyways I was a volunteer for the event, but had only committed to one night. When I saw the need for both nights while working, I decided to pitch in for the full weekend instead. This was very draining at the time especially given my physical disability (I was the guy with the leg brace, Spectre will remember me as the bartender), and I so I kept half the tips coming in from night 2 instead of the surprise announcement from Mike that they'd be going to RAM as a donation. 
<2022-09-06T20:15:07.000Z> johnbudd1350: To say I regret this decision is an understatement, and am ashamed of the breach of trust. 
<2022-09-06T20:16:12.000Z> johnbudd1350: At the time my family and I were financially struggling to make ends meet in Chicago, living with two kids in the city. Doesn't justify it, but that was the mindset at the time. Obviously that was wrong and I wish I hadn't done it. 
<2022-09-07T18:47:00.000Z> johnbudd1350: Is this something I can talk out with you or Andrezj? I'd prefer speaking over text, unless this is a no go? 
<2022-09-12T23:43:48.000Z> johnbudd1350: I'd like to make up for this any way I can, if it's possible
