"Energy and Persistence conquer all things" - Benjamin Franklin Minecraft Username: knears2000 Reason of Ban: Trolling/Discussion of Drugs in Chat Rule violated: Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Do not troll in order to create chaos/discord on the server. Do not discuss drugs as they are illegal, and should not be discussed on the family friendly server of ECC. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: Well, before I get started with my appeal, I'd like to say this. If this takes a week to process, I don't understand that. Making me wait isn't really going to change the situation into either one of our's favor. It shows where we all stand in this land of limbo, and the problems that need to be addressed, but that's another thread I made. I'd like to mention that before we start. So first off, where things when downhill is the best place for us to start so that we can analyze where I "went rotten". It was May 30th, 2014, when I noticed a troll thread on the forums by the one and only Revanrose6. So things were normal than accusations flew and all. So, to suffice about what happened without "causing issues", past drama. So, I ignored the entire situation for a long time, then I started to think about it, and finally made up my mind. I didn't want to see ECC go down the bad path. The only major reform that had been made in my time that I remember was the switch of ownership to Phys. I like phys, I didn't have a problem with her. I thought it was a step in the right direction, until the staff team collapsed. And, I stooped down to trolling, in order to get a point across. I even made a thread about how to fix the justice system on ECC, and that was completely and utterly ignored. Not a single reform was made to my knowledge. So, as I put greatly in my last appeal, the one's that are unanswered become deviant. In that sense, "deviant" being having to be bad to get a point across. I cared, a lot surprisingly. I'm currently public enemy #1 by staff and the community alike. I don't understand that to be honest, and when someone comes on and comments, "-1" or "You trolled! You suck you jackass!" and the like, I don't get it. I was never the popular kid here, I never was. I was always kind of pushed to the side by everyone. People would talk to me sure, but never would they pay attention. And that's what made me snap I guess, and "past drama" as well. That was the dissection of the situation at hand, and gave us some food for thought on what was going on in my mind at the time. Let's move on now, shall we? I'm sorry I trolled because I cared. I know that's a tough idea to wrap your head around. And no one will believe me, ever. Why? Who the hell knows, and I honestly don't care. As stated above in the dissection of the situation, I actually care about ECC surprisingly, I know that comes as a shock to a lot of you. The last thing I want to see is this server die. I'm not here to piss everyone off. I don't know why people think that. I wanna have fun, and play with everyone. I actually like ECC, I don't hate it like everyone thinks I do. The mob mentality that the community posses against me is quite the opposite. I feel bad that I pissed people off. I meant to help change, spark a revolution if you will. Oxwood summed up what people think greatly. My 'crusade against staff'. That wasn't a crusade against staff. I have nothing against staff. Staff have something pinned against me, but I don't have anything pinned against them. It's the rules and procedures they're confined to that I dislike. I don't mean to hurt anyone, I mean to help. It's almost an oxymoron if you will. I'm trying to fix an issue by causing a bigger problem. My intention was to highlight the issue. I know the rules very well, and I tried to fix them by, whaddya know trolling. I can't express this enough, I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Honestly, I don't know who I hurt because I'm sure there was quite a few people. And to those people, actually scratch that, to everyone. I'm sorry. Two simple words really don't cut to most of you. For everyone, you all wish I would leave. But I'm not, because I love ECC too much. Yes, I said "love" because it's true. Will you take me back? Peace knears
@knears2000 I understand your want to come back to the server but here is where the issue lies. You tried to “solve” a problem with a problem. While I understand what you are saying you have not convinced me that you are going to correct your behavior. As you know we do not allow trolling. I am going to deny this appeal at this point. I would like you to re appeal in 24hours explainng how you are going to be different if we allow you back on ECC. Appeal Denied RE-appeal in 24 hours time
