In Game Name:

Epicwin4​

Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:

No​

Which of ECC's services are you banned on:

Main Server​

Reason of Ban:

Major Block Grief​

Rule Violated:

Section 2, Clause 1 - Griefing
• Grief is defined as breaking or destroying things that do not belong to you, including breaking and replacing things to get to places that otherwise you shouldn't be going (for example, breaking into someone's house.) This can also extend to building things in areas that do not belong to you.
• Grief is not allowed in protected towns, unless the town owner has decided otherwise.
• If a town allows grief then all residents must be informed before joining the town.
• When a grief report is filed, grief is graded on a sliding scale of minor/moderate/major based on the amount and severity of damage done, and is determined based on staff guidelines by the staff member investigating the situation. It is also determined at that time whether the grief is bad enough to warrant a rollback.
• Grief in the wild is frowned upon, but allowed. Staff will not take any action in the case of wild grief.
​

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:

This rule clearly states that destruction/looting of blocks that are not under one's ownership is intolerable in protected towns, unless the town owner specifies otherwise.​

Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:

First, I must apologize for the irrational decision I enacted in griefing Mooncreek. I was close to becoming a mayor and very eager to get enough money, so I did not stop to think about the consequences of my actions and how they affected Lanrooks, the owner of Mooncreek.

After admitting my wrongdoing, I feel I should be un-banned for two reasons. First, I can pay back out-of-pocket in compensation for what I stole, as the grief report lists the exact amount. I must do this, regardless of its necessity, as I sympathize for Lanrooks and owe it to this individual. Second, I feel with ownership of a town plot, I am now able to "give back" to the EcoCityCraft community by creating a place for citizens to live, create, and enterprise for their own benefit and the benefit of the entire server. I acknowledge my fault for tearing down Mooncreek, I am very regretful for this action. However, I feel I deserve a second chance to right my wrongs and start anew, using my skills to bring positive contributions to the users of EcoCityCraft.​
