[Ban Appeal] TheWizardofNoz

In Game Name:

TheWizardofNoz​

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:

Server​

Reason of Ban:

Trolling​

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:

I believe the one I broke specifically was the one about starting chaos. This means that you can't intentionally try to stir things up by saying inflammatory things or just encouraging people to spam or break other rules.​

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

Although the final reason for my ban was trolling, I feel as if much more happened over the course of about 45 minutes leading up to my ban, most of which warrants an apology, and all of which I regret. Firstly, I attempted to escalate a conflict that was already occurring on the server, and I did it again by trying to fabricate a rumor about the server being ddos'd. I continued after I was warned to stop multiple times, and continued to push the boundaries for about 10 more minutes. The statement that actually caused the ban was unacceptable, and violated the rules on multiple levels. I was caught up in the moment and wanted to see how far I could push the envelope, and I'm sorry for it. If I can be forgiven for this and return to the server, I promise I won't exhibit such behavior moving forward. It only serves to make trouble and create unnecessary commotion and unrest.​
