In Game Name: ZCSolsticeHave you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name: I have not.Which of ECC's services are you banned on: Main ServerReason of Ban: AFK AutofishingRule Violated: Section 6 Clause 4 - Automation The use of any means to earn money without doing any work is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, macromod scripts, autofisher mods, fully automated farms, and physical means to hold a button down while away from your computer. Usage of automated means is allowed for MCMMO grinding, providing you are not generating money and are not afk (e.g. an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a player is allowed, an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a mob spawner is not). If you are found to have used any kind of illegal automation, your relevant statistics/balance will be reduced and/or cleared entirely at the discretion of administration. Be warned that we take this very seriously.Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Don't automate any actions that make you money as it is unfair to other who play the game legitimate.Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned: I did not autofish. Yes, I was ON for 14 hours, but I fished on/off throughout most of the day while watching old Star Wars movies and, when I got banned, the Golden Knights game. Because I was just focusing on the sound of the bite, I didn't look at the screen much and developed a habit of reeling the fish in, waiting a second, and casting it back out, which likely made me miss any messages that were sent to me. I can show you any files you want in a forum pm (not sure what files you want to see). I really like playing this server and I was just starting to finish most of my goals. I was going to use this winter break to attempt to get a head start on other goals such as the McMMO Red Medal. If you would like me to not fish when I return or change the way I fish back to normal, I will. I just really want to play on this server again.
Thank you for taking the time to file this appeal @ZCSolstice. Please be patient while @Server Admin handles this appeal.
Oh so the day before you were banned when I tp'd to you and pm'd you, and took your rod out of your hand at which you stopped casting was...... what? I watched you for a good 15-20 minutes..... unless you have a good response for this then I'm going to deny this.
For the past month at nighttime I've been doing the exact method with my brightness down until I fell asleep and just stayed there. The night before I was too lazy to to put the rod back in the chest so I just fell asleep. Was I actually collecting fish when you tp'd to me? Because there is no way I fell asleep right when you tp'd to me...
Sorry, I really don't understand your initial post that much. Could you please clarify/elaborate on what you're trying to say?
I found you fishing the day before you were banned, you were unresponsive to my pm's or having your rod removed from your hand. Additionally, earlier you were found doing nothing but the commands /repair all and an advertisement, at the end (eight hours later) you sold a full inventory of fish after being unresponsive to any pm's towards you (in regards to the advertisement you were putting out). Again, please explain.
Like I said, I was semi-AFK fishing (Looking for the sound of the catch and then reeling in), not paying attention to chat and watching star wars. Exactly the reason why you found me just doing repairs and posting trade ads and unresponsive to PMs. I wasn't chatting and instead just had my macros on. You also say that only after 8 hours did I sell my inventory, this was 8 hours after being semi-afk that I sold my fish after looking and seeing my inventory full. But if I was actually autofishing, wouldn't I have set a macro to sell fish more frequently than 8 hours, as I'm AFK and have no idea when the inventory will be full (and 8 hours is a long time, running the risk of me losing the fish)?
So you're saying that with your sound all the way up, you failed to realize you died before we banned you?
Or how about when I played the fish catch sound beside you and nothing happened on your player until the next fish was actually caught.
The EcoCityCraft administration team recently banned me for suspicions of being ‘AFK’ whilst fishing. The acronym AFK; according to urban dictionary’s top definition, stands for away from keyboard. Whom is to say I was even using a keyboard at the time of my ban? I don’t even own a keyboard. In fact I use motion sensors hooked up to my eyes to simulate a keyboard. 1 blink for A, 2 blinks for B 3 blinks for C and so on. I have over 9 years of faction server experience and have trained my muscles over the years to react to certain sounds even in my sleep. My muscles react and press the mouse button 2 times weather I’m unconscious or awake looking at my screen. Sure, I was unconscious and could not reply moments before my ban but there are reasons behind not messaging back either. My parents do not allow me to use the chat feature online as I could run into malicious strangers on the internet with the exception of trade chat. As such, I could not reply to said PMs. When you stole my star rod, I was not allowed by my parents to ask for it back (as that would involve chatting) and had to go anyways as it was past my bedtime hence why I remained still. I can assure you there are no mods on my client. Oh and what's so hard about following the EULA? Maybe if we didn't waste time bypassing it and making Squid, Skyblock would've already came out.
