In Game Name: JoeSchembreHave you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name: NoWhich of ECC's services are you banned on: Main serverReason of Ban: Apparent 'Death threats' that were a joke, which was said to a player (don't even remember who'), also was banned without a warning or kickRule Violated: Section 2.3 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. Clause 3.1 - Trespassing Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: The harassment rule means that, no form of action eg) chat, either pm or global, or gameplay, which makes the player, which it is intended at, feel threatened or might ruin their gameplay on the server is completely wrong and should never happen in this server and morally should not happen in any other server, its just wrong. The Harassment rule also means that things like Griefing, blackmail, bullying and or any other form of harassment, is absolutely inexcusable and should not happen on this server.Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned: First things first, I did not even get a warning, either verbal or kick from the server, which did sort of confuse me. Secondly, I clearly didn't mean it, the way I said it after someone said they hated Pokemon Go showed that it was a joke and somehow was taken the wrong way.
Hello @joeshembre thank you for filing this van appeal. After reviewing it i decided i won't be unbanning you. First of all it's not up to you what kind of punishment you get for breaking the rules, it's up to us, if we feel like a straight out ban is deserved we'll staight out ban people. Second, you didn't really put any effort in this appeal, you show no remorse for what you've done and generally give me no good reason why i should be let back into our server. And little note: if you joke about something that is against the rules the punishment is the same as if you wasn't joking so this isn't really a valid excuse. Locked, denied.
