    Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:
    Nope
    Which of ECC's services are you banned on:
    Main Server
    Reason of Ban:
    "Abuse of Multi-Accounts for economic gain (McMMo Coupon $100)"
    Rule Violated:
    Clause 2 - Multiple Accounts
    • Multiple accounts used by different people on the same internet connection/IP are allowed. (Contact staff to inform them first to avoid any problems)
    • An individual person playing on multiple accounts is allowed as long as no financial benefits arise from doing so, and no account belonging to that player are banned.
    • There must be absolutely no financial interaction between multiple accounts that you own if they are for the sole purpose of funding an "alt" account.
      • Your "main" account is the account that has been used on EcoCityCraft for the longest period of time, and that you are mostly known for. If you do not understand this part of the rule, it's best to simply avoid any interactions between accounts. This rule is enforced completely at staff's discretion.
      • Direct or indirect transactions (via /pay, trade signs, etc) are not allowed if they are financially benefiting your alt account.
      • If you have another account you wish to play on, and make money with, it cannot be used to fund other accounts.
        • Minor things such as paying an alt account for a rank upgrade through your main account is allowed.
        • Paying for absolutely anything on your main account with money from an alt account however is NOT allowed.
    • If any account owned by a player is banned, all the other accounts owned by that player will not be able to appeal until the account banned first has successfully appealed.
      • Exceptions may be made to this in certain scenarios such as inappropriate username bans.
    • If there are multiple accounts on the same internet connection/IP, either used by you or others, you must contact a member of staff immediately to inform them to avoid issues.
    • Users may be questioned for being on the same internet connection, or, in cases of suspicious activity and bans, immediately banned regardless of the reason for the same connection, to be appealed with an explanation.

    Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:
    Not to abuse other accounts for economic gain, the rule is quite self-explanitory.
    Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:
    I don't even know where to start with this....

    I think this is a false ban and shouldn't have happened. KieranXGaming is my brothers account, which I have stated numerous times and he is not my account, therefore it is not multi-accounting.

    I was training my McMMo and needed a dummy, my brother openly told me that instead of paying people to do it, he said that if I set him up so that he just clicks the sign, he'll happily sit there and watch while on YouTube so that he is not AFK, which makes it legal.

    I think my ban should be removed as this shouldn't have happened and I don't think I should be banned for it, and I am really frustrated that this has ruined my clean record since i've been back, and delays me from applying for staff for another 3 months.

    Jamie was the one that banned me, and he could clearly see none of us were AFK as such, and I personally did not see any rules being broken. If you could enlighten me as to what I did wrong and un-ban me, that would be great as I really need to start making money back for my debt, and going for that $100 coupon would of got me money to pay off my debt.

    I'd say a $100 coupon is money. But thats just one way of interpreting the use of automated means to get a coupon. (not your ban reason, I know. Just putting this out there)

    It is money, but it isn't generating money, as the rule states

    I've gone and deleted some irrelevant posts and handed out forum warnings, as Dccciz said there are to be no irrelevant posts on this appeal. Only post here if you are the appropriate staff member or have evidence. Please forum PM staff any information that you want to add if you don't have evidence.

    Frankly, based on what has been done, I'm not sure where to even start. Just because you're using your brother's account, doesn't mean it's alright. You had intentions to sell the coupon you'd be receiving, therefore making yourself money. You even explained that to one of your debtors.

    In my honest opinion, the time it'd take to get the coupon compared to what it would take to make the money from selling the coupon? It'd be wiser to earn your money honestly through regular means.

    As this appears to be an honest mistake, I will be giving you a 3 day temporary ban. However let this be a note for everyone that anyone who repeats these actions will not be treated in this way as it's now common knowledge.

    On your return, please make your money through regular SG, mining, farming, whatever it takes.

    If you're wanting to get the coupon, that's fine, but I wouldn't recommend doing it the way you did; especially using someone in your house's account. There's no way for us to determine whether or not you got on their account to do this yourself.

    Anyway, 3 day temp ban. Be more careful next time.
