In Game Name: BaseballIsGoldenHave you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name: My name use to be GoldenArmor12, but that was before this ban.Which of ECC's services are you banned on: Main ServerReason of Ban: I was banned for use of death threats/encouraging suicide.Rule Violated: Section 4 - Chat, Channels and Discussions Clause 3 - Inappropriate/Touchy Subjects and Discussions EcoCityCraft is a server community consisting of many age groups, religious groups, and political backgrounds. As such, there are many touchy subjects that we do not allow in our public channels in order to keep the peace and prevent arguments and flame wars from occurring. All chat must be kept appropriate and clean at all times. There is to be no discussion of anything deemed inappropriate for a workplace, including, but not limited to, sexuality, excessive violence, alcohol/drugs and inappropriate or dark humor. This rule extends into subjects about illegal substances or actions, including drugs. Politics, religion and suicide are common “touchy subjects”, however they are not the only ones. Should a staff member ask you to change a subject they feel is touchy and/or is causing the direction of chat to deviate towards an argument or flame war, you must drop the subject immediately. Discussing a banned user's ban reason and why they were banned is not allowed, however simply mentioning a banned player's username is allowed. Accusing other players of breaking any of the Server Rules is not allowed. Use the proper means to address these concerns such as speaking to a staff member or filing a complaint.Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: The rule stated in Section 4 Clause 3 means that no inappropriate or touchy subjects should be brought up or discussed on the server. This includes death threats and encouraging suicide, as these subjects are inappropriate should not be discussed in this environment.Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned: First off, I would like to sincerely apologize to anyone who was offended by this comment. Although it was not directed at anyone, this could still be offensive and was not called for whatsoever. Suicide is a very serious subject and should not be brought up no matter what. As stated in the complaint(https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-baseballisgolden.149084/), I lacked self-control in this situation. Self-control is a very important thing to have. I let my guard down and slipped up. There are no excuses for what I said. I made a huge mistake and truly regret it. I have been banned for around 24 hours now, and it has shown me how much this server means to me. If I am given a chance to return, I will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this. I hope to see you all again in-game soon Sincerely, BaseballIsGolden
Hello, @BaseballIsGolden, thank you for showing an interest in rejoining our community. As you have found out, we do not tolerate death threats and especially not encouraging suicide here on ECC as you've found out. As a 4 year member I expect better from you. I know you know the rules, making this even more disappointing. How would you feel if someone were to say this to yourself? Don't let this happen again. After reviewing your appeal, I can see you understood the severity of your actions. I'll be issuing you a 24 hour temporary ban - during this time, I want you to review our network rules, to ensure anything like this does not repeat itself. Otherwise, welcome back to the server. I hope to see you in-game soon. 24 hour temporary ban issued. Locked.
