Minecraft Username: GiveMeCookie Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?: I have not changed it since I was banned Which of ECC's services are you banned on? Main Server/Teamspeak Reason of Ban: Vulgar language/Trolling/Disrespect towards staff members Rule violated: Section 2 - Griefing, Trolling and Harassment Clause 2 - Trolling Trolling is not allowed on the server, especially any trolling that is directed towards another user. This includes, but is not limited to: Flame baiting Harassment (See Section 2 Clause 3.) Cyber-bullying Attempts to start any form of chaos and discord within the server. Clause 3 - Harassment Harassment constitutes as any form of action (chat or game play wise) that makes another player feel threatened or otherwise ruins their game play. Griefing in the wild does not constitute harassment. Harassment in the wild is strictly chat/command based. This includes, but is not limited to; blackmail, bullying or any other form of harassment that occurs through our chat system. Attempting to kill other players in any non-PvP zone also constitutes as harassment, and succeeding in killing other players in non-PvP areas is a very severe offence that will result in a ban. Harassment is absolutely inexcusable on EcoCityCraft. If you are engaging in this behavior expect to be removed from the server with little to no warning. Disrespecting staff falls under this rule - They are players too. Section 4 - Chat, Channels and Discussions Clause 2 - Vulgarity Inappropriate and vulgar language is not allowed. This includes anything put on signs, said in chat, written in books, renamed to on items (see Section 3 Clause 2.1), spelt out in blocks (see Section 2, Clause 2.1), or any other way of communicating. Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (eg. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user. Repeated or excessive swearing, and especially vulgar language directed at anyone, is not tolerated under any circumstance. Racist language or prejudicial language of any sort falls under the vulgarity rule, and is considered a very serious offence, punishment of which may not warrant a warning before being given a ban, Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Trolling is usually when a player is annoying, hurting, griefing, etc. intending to cause problems or ruin another player's game play. Harassment is when a player is disrespecting or trolling a player intending to hurt them or ruin there game play. Vulgarity is when a player is cursing, using sexual references or any kind of inappropriate language no suitable for younger members of the community. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: I believe I should be unbanned because I realize the wrong I've done. Also the last couple of weeks have been kind of hard with some incidents in my real life that I probably should talk about here because it is very touchy and can be inappropriate for the younger members of the community, this has caused some emotional toll on me such as stress and anger. I just have wanted to take some of this anger out where ever and one of those things/places has been the ECC community. I'm very sorry for how rude and annoying I have been to other players even though I've been very angery I realize that this is no excuse to behave like this. I know I have a bad past with ECC with previous bans, but I know I can change even though I said in game, "I'm a troll and I'll always be a troll" but I know I can change my behavior and I wish to do so and rejoin this wonderful community.
