In Game Name:

ScibbyG​

Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:

No​

Which of ECC's services are you banned on:

main server​

Reason of Ban:

Trolling/ Racism in shouts​

Rule Violated:

Clause 2 - Trolling
Trolling is not allowed on the server, especially any trolling that is directed towards another user. This includes, but is not limited to:
Flame baiting
Harassment (See Section 2 Clause 3.)
Cyber-bullying
Attempts to start any form of chaos and discord within the server.​

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:

One is not aloud to disturb other people on the server and annoy them. One must be respectful to every other person on the server and cannot cause any harm to other people.​

Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:

I was banned for trolling and shouting racist comments. I am not the one that shouted these racist comments. I was afk and my friend did it on my account. Now, i know this sounds very hard to believe and like i am making this up just to get unbanned, but i have been a player on eco city craft or 3 and a half years and I know the rules so well that I know what I can and cannot do. I would really like to get unbanned so i can continue to play on this amazing server. I will be very careful not to be afk on eco city when I leave the room while other people are there because I know that i need to be more careful. I am truly sorry for what i have done and promise that it will never happen again.
Sincerely, ScibbyG​

 

Clause 2 - Trolling

• Trolling is not allowed on the server, especially any trolling that is directed towards another user. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Flame baiting
  • Harassment (See Section 2 Clause 3.)
  • Cyber-bullying
  • Attempts to start any form of chaos and discord within the server.

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 2 - Vulgarity

• Inappropriate and vulgar language is not allowed. This includes anything put on signs, said in chat, written in books, renamed to on items (see Section 3 Clause 2.1), spelt out in blocks (see Section 2, Clause 2.1), or any other way of communicating.
  • Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (eg. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user.
• Repeated or excessive swearing, and especially vulgar language directed at anyone, is not tolerated under any circumstance.
• Racist language or prejudicial language of any sort falls under the vulgarity rule, and is considered a very serious offence which may result in a ban with no warnings given.

Clause 3 - Inappropriate/Touchy Subjects and Discussions

• EcoCityCraft is a server community consisting of many age groups, religious groups, and political backgrounds. As such, there are many touchy subjects that we do not allow in our public channels in order to keep the peace and prevent arguments and flame wars from occurring.
• All chat must be kept appropriate and clean at all times. There is to be no discussion of anything deemed inappropriate for a workplace, including, but not limited to, sexuality, excessive violence, alcohol/drugs and inappropriate or dark humor.
• This rule extends into subjects about illegal substances or actions, including drugs.
• Politics, religion and suicide are common “touchy subjects”, however they are not the only ones. Should a staff member ask you to change a subject they feel is touchy and/or is causing the direction of chat to deviate towards an argument or flame war, you must drop the subject immediately.
• Discussing a banned user's ban reason and why they were banned is not allowed, however simply mentioning a banned player's username is allowed.
• Accusing other players of breaking any of the Server Rules is not allowed. Use the proper means to address these concerns such as speaking to a staff member or filing a complaint.
• These subjects are allowed in VIP chat, except for any harassment or discussion of illegal topics.

Clause 1.3 - Shouts and Lottery
For Shouts:

• No advertisement, touchy subject/discussions, special characters not used in their correct context, and languages other than English.
• Only numbers, letters, basic symbols found on a standard keyboard may be used.
• Shouts with the intent of causing other users to spam or spam another user in any way, such as requesting others to private message them, are not allowed.
• Shouts disguised to look like server messages, private messages, balance payments, etc. are not allowed.
• All types of chat formatting are available for shouts. CAPS, in-game advertisements, colors, and font styles (Italics, bold, underline, strikes) are completely allowed.

For both Shouts and Lottery:

• Spamming either shouts or lottery is allowed to an extent. Excessive use of either command which results in chat being hard to read may result in a warning or a kick from the Staff.
