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

No​

Which of ECC's services are you banned/muted on:

Main Server​

Reason of Ban/Mute:

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:

Any in-game action which makes money must be performed by the player and not by any automated system.​

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

I'd like to start off by saying that I really don't deserve another chance. However, before I give my reason for appealing, I'd like to give the backstory as to why and how I started autofishing again. I'm the type of person who likes to attempt something when I'm told it isn't possible, just to say that I did it. I spend a day or two cranking out a method to bypass the new overfishing mechanic, and once I figured it out, I had this sense of accomplishment, though I shouldn't have been celebrating something which ruined my game experience again. Hunting for bugs and exploits is what makes gameplay thrilling for me, which is why I am on the staff team for virtually every other server I play on. I feel that I can contribute a great deal as a member of the ECC community by finding and reporting these exploits rather than using them to my own advantage. The reason why I feel I should be unbanned is to find these loopholes and patch them rather than go through them. For all I care, keep my balance at zero; I just want the thrill of the hunt back. I'd like to try and make ECC more watertight.​
