Minecraft Username: matrix__Rep Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?: yes ndm56dcraft was my old name Which of ECC's services are you banned on? [Main Server/Teamspeak/Shoutbox - delete as appropriate]: main server Reason of Ban: impersonation of another user Rule violated: Clause 10: Nickname(+) There is to be no abuse of our Nickname or Nickname+ feature. This includes, but is not limited to, having a nickname which: Uses vulgar language, Impersonates another player, Note: Having the permission of the player who your nickname is impersonating does not allow you to use the nickname. Amounts to harassment of another playe,r Is blatantly spammy, Is over 16 characters in length; or Anything else which the Staff team deem to be inappropriate. Refusing to change your nickname when requested to do so by a member of Staff may result in further action being taken. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: this rule simply means that you can try to impersonate another user as it may hurt their reputation etc. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: i have been offline 1 month because of this... and i am honestly embarrased as to why i got banned. I thought i would be stupid and try to outsmart the mods with a name close to a friends. I quickly realized after i got banned that jokes like that are taken very seriously. I have taken time to think about my actions and i will try to stay away from name changes or nicknames close to a anyone else's. I truly hope i am allowed back on the server as i miss seeing my friends on it. -best regards matrix__rep
Hi Matrix, I'm glad to see you've decided to appeal. Seeing as you've changed your name back once again to your original name, and are remorseful of your actions I will be removing your ban. Please know that any time of impersonation is taken very seriously. We won't ever act lightly upon users who try to confuse the staff either in game or on the forums. Anyway, I hope you can take this as a learning lesson and move on from it. I will be unbanning you but I'd furthermore like you to check out the rules regarding this matter. You can find the rules here. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you in game soon. Welcome back. Locked -- User unbanned Have any questions regarding how I handled this appeal? Feel free to forum message me for discussion.
