Reason of Ban: Trolling/Discussion of Drugs

Rule violated:

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Do not troll in order to make others not feel good or to cause discord/chaos on the server. As for the discussion of drugs, one must not discuss drugs as they are illegal, and there are younger players on here who should not be exposed to what they are.

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: Well, interesting you ask this question. I think I should be unbanned because I've been here for two years. Yes, two whole years with $315 in donations. I've seen the server through its times of greatness, and times of darkness. I know what this place is. I know it like the back of my hand. I know the rules. And I broke them, intentionally. Some people do that for the sake of the 'thrill', others do it because they were not aware it was a rule, and others do it because they care. Well, why would someone break the rules because they 'care'? Well, it's hard to tell, and I'm one of those people. We do it because, well, we see problems. We see the issues on ECC, and want to help. However, nothing that we say is ever taken seriously. A prime example of this is the suggestions forum. Great suggestions get suggested every day, to never get a response from an SA+. We people are pushed to the side, while others get put on a pedestal for having a rank, or donating so much money. But in actuality, that means nothing. Why? Because they could care less what happens to ECC, when the people like me have to be deviant to get a point across. And you know what happens? We get pushed to the side again, and again, and again. You know, I've seen some people suggest some bad things, and they will get the best ratings, great responses, then get accepted, or at least in Clou's situation, locked, to be implemented shortly. I don't understand why that's done. The people that care the most are hated the most, myself included. While there are some who are complete idiots and fools and get banned, I got banned for caring. Yeah, I was a [Mod-Edit] probably. And if I was, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. It was impulsive for me to do that because I cared. I was trying to help, and got smacked with a ban in return. I feel as if I'm a number now. Like we all are. Just a number, waiting to break out. I'm different, and I -- I took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

Peace
