Reason:
Attempted killing in a non PVP area/Staff disrespect
Counter-Reason:
First of all, I didn't "attempt to kill someone in a non PVP area." As I explained to @nicit6 , I simply broke a block, outside of a protected area, wondering if it would break. The water then came down to where other players were. I didn't know there were players directly beneath the water, but according to @nicit6 , there were. So I went down, and I didn't see any players below the water; but I did see the water flowing in the opposite direction as expected. So, I flew down to see where it was going. It was going into a water hole right next to where it was flowing down. I then flew back up to fix it so the water wouldn't flow anymore. But to fix it, I would have needed 2 blocks of dirt. I only had one (I didn't have any other blocks with me). I then flew out to the ocean, that was unprotected, and gathered 9 blocks of dirt from the bottom (I was only trying to get 1 but my shovel broke faster than expected). I then flew back. I replaced the block to stop the water from flowing. I then broke the block I placed to get the second block in the correct spot to place the other. This proves I did not "attempt to kill someone in a non PVP area."
Second of all, I did not "show staff disrespect." I did not know that was a problem to hate a staff member. I'm sorry but I didn't know that was a rule. All I said was, "Finally, a staff member that knows what they are doing" when @WeirdBuilder showed up. I said this because I believed @nicit6 was showing nepotism towards @Mr_Doom_Bringer , in which was trolling @lexi731rocs at the time. @nicit6 chose to ignore what @Mr_Doom_Bringer was doing and focus on me, because she obviously didn't like me as much as she liked @Mr_Doom_Bringer . I thought maybe @WeirdBuilder would know how to solve this issue because @nicit6 obviously did not want to get @Mr_Doom_Bringer in trouble. Overall, I did not "disrespect a staff member" and if I did, I apologize for doing so.
Evidence:
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.

Section 10 - General Forum Rules
Usage of the EcoCityCraft forums at ecocitycraft.com constitutes an agreement to these rules.

• There is to be no flaming, raging, insulting, or disrespecting of other members. This includes attempting to prod a user into starting an argument with you or others, as well as just plainly attacking them.
  • Threads made for the sole purpose of raging/flaming another user or at the server in general are against the rules. The punishment for this is the thread immediately being deleted and a forum warning applied to your forum account.
• There is to be no trolling, harassing, or attempts at annoying / prodding another user into breaking the rules or to a point where they feel uncomfortable/necessary to get staff involved. Should staff deem your post trolling or harassment, you will immediately receive a forum warning and possibly a forum tempban.
• There is to be no abusing of any forum features
• There is to be no threads created solely to ask for ratings. ('Give me ratings for x' or 'Rate me to enter this contest') Any threads created for that purpose will be deleted.
• There is to be absolutely no posting of personally identifiable information (Name, Address, Email, Phone Number, etc.)
• There is to be no re-creation of locked threads.
• There is to be no posting of any sort of phishing, inappropriate websites.
• There is to be no spam. This includes posting threads in all CAPS.
• There is to be no account sharing. Multiple accounts are not allowed. If you would like to change your username to match your minecraft username, contact a gameadmin+.
• There is to be no sharing of private messages without the expressed permissions of the sender. (Unless it is exposed to staff due to an inappropriate private message.)
• There is to be no posting of pornography, gross stuff, or anything else which is not safe for work.
• There is to be no discussion of Piracy, Warez, Leaked content, Cracked minecraft accounts, etc. Keep it legal.
• There is to be no discussion of hacked clients, hacks, or other programs that are illegal in game (Nodus, autofarming, etc.).
• There is to be no soliciting, auctioning, selling, advertising, referrals. (Unless related to EcoCityCraft in our advertising section).
• There is to be no racism, discrimination, drugs, alcohol, religious, political and other topics which are highly prone to flaming/debatable and most of all highly arguable discussions.
• There is to be no threads/posts made which focus purely on "raging".
• There is to be no back-seat moderating, or “minimodding". Let moderators do their jobs.
• We do not deal with goodbye threads. If you are going to leave please don't tell the world in public, and if you do, don't expect the conversation to be dragged on. We hope to see you soon and we enjoyed playing with you! =)
• We do not deal with "Why did <username> receive <punishment>. Use the search function. If you can’t find why a user was tempbanned/banned for example, then that’s that. Do not make threads about it. It causes unnecessary arguments.
• There is to be no [youtube] BBCode within signatures. Doing so will earn you a temp forum ban.
• There is to be no spamming with @ tags in posts. Only tag/mention someone using the @ tag if they are seriously needed in the thread.
• There is to be no "necroing" of threads, which includes the following criteria:
  • Bumping a thread that has not been posted on in over 2 weeks, unless the content of the thread has become relevant to be opened for discussion again.
  • Bumping a thread that has not been posted on in over a week in order to flame, troll, or cause a problem.

P.S. I request a staff member other than @nicit6 or @oreo1227 to deal with this appeal.
