Minecraft UsernameCrazySwagMaster1 Reason of Ban"Abuse of Pyro/Ext Creations to Troll/Kill in the Mining World." I found a skeleton spawner with a pair of lift signs. I broke the top lift sign (lift signs not mentioned in the rules below, not that it is an excuse for trolling, I'm simply stating that is the reason nothing is highlighted in the rule outlining Extended Creations). and replaced it above ground, surrounding it in lava, with attempts to intimidate the user out from the skeleton spawner, stupidly ignoring the fact it was against the rules, which was wrong of me. Rule(s) ViolatedI had highlighted the parts of quoted rules that pertain specifically to my ban, with the exception of lift signs, with the reason stated above. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:These rules are meant to make server donors use their features with only positive intentions towards others. Harassment and 'Trolling' is not to be tolerated and will be punished at the highest degree possible. The donors need to be a positive influence to those who have not yet, to set a better example for the server. When applied to my situation, I completely understand why I was banned. I was trolling users in the Mining World with my features I kindly received in return for donating to EcoCityCraft. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned:I'm beginning to think that I shouldn't be. I've been more times than the average user. I have always done stupid things, not thinking of potential punishments that may arise from situations. On the other side (the one that answers the question), I've been working on thinking through situations through and have made some progress (as shown in the decrease of ban frequency throughout my career on ECC). I'm not asking for respect, as I know I probably lost it and no longer deserve to have it. What I am asking for, however, is a chance to slowly earn it back from the community. I am known as a 'troll' to almost whomever one may ask, and I have grown depressed because of this. I don't like being looked at as if I am trash. If I were to re-join the server I would immediately try to reshape my image in whatever way possible, even understanding that this is a huge feat, and could be impossible to change how some users view me. I will have to put even more effort into thinking before I act than I ever had, and I am willing to go through that effort just for a chance to rejoin the server. I would hate to have come so far on this server, helping so many people, just to lose it all because of an ignorant mistake that was not thought through. I completely understand if I am given no mercy. Though I am not the one who chooses my fate, I don't believe anything less than a week's ban would suffice with my situation. If I were to get anything less than that I would be requesting a ban appeal. I need to have a more solid punishment, as I would want someone else in my situation to have a stricter one as well.
I will handle this appeal after I have a chance to speak with Andrew regarding the abuse of donation features and whether or not you get to keep them.
Hello CrazySwagMaster1, Thank you for choosing to appeal. I witnessed a good portion of your actions during this event. I am quite sad to see someone who has been with the server for almost 2 years act the way you did. You know far better than to be this type of player. After discussing the donation abuse with andrew, he has stated that you will be allowed to keep your features this time, but if you ever abuse another feature, you will permanently lose it. Considering all the rules you broke during this, I will be tempbanning you for 1 week. During this time, I want you to fully refresh yourself on our rules. Tempbanned for 1 week.
