[Ban Appeal] isaul007

In Game Name:

isaul007​

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:

The main server.​

Reason of Ban:

AFK Autofishing​

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:

The clause states that ECD should only be made when work on the part of the player is involved. This means that any type of automatic script or other method involving monetary value is not allowed.​

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

I have played on ECC for several years, although my Forum account is newer than that. As always, I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I realize that ignorance does not make you exempt from any rules. I used an autofishing macro, which violates the Server rules. I understand that my entire balance may be cleared at the staff's discretion. I broke the rule out of laziness, as I was becoming tired of the repetitive and underpayed task of fishing on ECC. I guess you could say I was annoyed at the administration's complacence with the currently broken fishing system on ECC, and wanted to prove a point. I am completely fine with all of my balance being removed, as I did not do it for the money, rather to prove a point that fishing is not viable on ECC currently without automation. I am, as of now, unaware of the evidence against me, and would frankly appreciate to see that evidence, but I plead guilty nonetheless. Thanks for your consideration, I feel that this appeal answers the questions necessary. However, if not, please ask away and/or have me file a new appeal, and I will be glad to do so. Thanks again,

I should clarify this, my wording was not easily understandable. I made the foolish mistake of autofishing because I wanted attention to be given to that matter. "Point" may not have been the most accurate word, rather, it was more of a way to try and seek attention from the staff. Thank you for responding so quickly.
