    Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:
    Nope, have never changed it.
    Which of ECC's services are you banned on:
    Main Server
    Reason of Ban:
    Abuse of automation (autoclickers) while afk for economic gain ($100 MCMMO Coupon)
    Rule Violated:
    Clause 4 - Automation
    The use of any means to earn money without doing any work is prohibited.
    This includes, but is not limited to, macromod scripts, autofisher mods, fully automated farms, and physical means to hold a button down while away from your computer.
    Usage of automated means is allowed for MCMMO grinding, providing you are not generating money and are not afk (e.g. an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a player is allowed, an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a mob spawner is not).
    If you are found to have used any kind of illegal automation, your relevant statistics/balance will be reduced and/or cleared entirely at the discretion of administration.
    Be warned that we take this very seriously.
    Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:
    This rule means that you are not allowed to set something up so that you automatically print money into the economy without doing any work (W=F*d*cosθ).
    Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:
    A) I was never AFK while training
    B) I don't use auto-clickers [I used to have a macro for this (since it is legal) but 2 days ago I lost all my macros, which if you checked logs you would see that I was raging]
    C) Feel free to message me any time I'm training because I never go AFK


    Also, I'm 95% sure that staff are just out to ban me for random reasons. I wasn't even online at the time of the ban and staff must have just thought "oh let's just ban this guy because why not?" I literally highlighted a direct quote from the rule, which says that what I used to do is allowed. Near the time of the ban I didn't even have the macro. Staff team, could you please get your act together... I'm at a point where it's barely worth appealing if I'm just going to get banned for doing nothing again...

    It was for training swords, I assume.
    Also, everything I've done related to MCMMO is 100% legit.

    I've deleted some irrelevant posts. There are to be no further irrelevant comments on this ban appeal. Only comment if this directly pertains to you.

    Any further irrelevant comments will be warned for.

    You were banned because you were caught farming McMMO with itz. As you two are in a party, this shares the exp between you two. You as well, were going for/assisting itz in achieving the coupon for level 2000.

    @ClarinetPhoenix will be dealing with this I believe.

    @a18greek18
    I looked into this heavily myself.
    I've decided that I'm overturning this ban. I found there wasn't enough proof that you were actually AFK during any MCMMO training.
    I will strongly urge that you make sure your MCMMO training is completely legit. The rules state you may use auto-clickers provided you are not generating money or are AFK.
    We apologize for this fiasco. I hope you believe me when I say this was not intended.

    Unbanned
