Minecraft Username: Whammerist5 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/Teamspeak/Shoutbox - delete as appropriate]: Main Server Reason of Ban: Griefing Rule violated: Clause 1 - Griefing Grief is defined as breaking or destroying things that do not belong to you, including breaking and replacing things to get to places that otherwise you shouldn't be going (for example, breaking into someone's house.) This can also extend to building things in areas that do not belong to you. Grief is not allowed in protected towns, unless the town owner has decided otherwise. In the event a grief occurs in a non-grief town then a grief report can be filed here:Grief Report and Rollback Request If a town allows grief then all residents must be informed before joining the town. When a grief report is filed, grief is graded on a sliding scale of minor/moderate/major based on the amount and severity of damage done, and is determined based on staff guidelines by the staff member investigating the situation. It is also determined at that time whether the grief is bad enough to warrant a rollback. Grief in the wild is frowned upon, but allowed. Staff will not take any action in the case of wild grief. Please see Section 7 for rules regarding grief in the Aether, Nether and Mining World. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Do not destroy what is not yours. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: I did not grief. "Grief is defined as breaking or destroying things that do not belong to you, including breaking and replacing things to get to places that otherwise you shouldn't be going (for example, breaking into someone's house.) This can also extend to building things in areas that do not belong to you." I had bought a house in a town. When the town gave me an eviction notice, I started to take down the home. I had bought the house, so I do not think it qualifies a griefing. If I did grief, I formally apologize, as I did not know I was breaking the rule. Thank you.
I had spoken to you moments before you decided to grief. You acknowledged two things. That the house was a pre-built. And that griefing was not allowed in the town. The pre-built was not built by you and so the materials were not owned by you. The pre-built was rented out to you for your personal use as a home, not to be griefed and destroyed. I understand why you did what you did. You were upset over the situation - however that doesn't mean you should start griefing. Please take a break and try to think over your recent actions. Locked - Whammerist5 temp-banned for two hours
