Minecraft Username: TomKellyCreeper Reason of Ban: Attempted use of automine macro Rule violated: Section 6 - Hacking, Exploits and Unfair Play Clause 4 - Third Party Programs, Auto-Clicking, Auto-Farming, etc. The use of third party programs that create any form of advantage that does not require you to do work while playing Minecraft is strictly prohibited, and can result in a ban. EcoCityCraft staff have measures in place to test for users auto-clicking and using third party programs. Users caught auto-clicking, auto-fishing, using an aimbot, or any other distinct advantage to exploit game play will be punished appropriately. Any form of auto money generation, including, but not limited to, auto-farming and auto-fishing, is completely prohibited by any means. If you are caught using macros or clients to generate money without having to do any work, you will be punished, up to and including the extent of being permanently banned and having everything you own wiped off the server. Be warned that we take this very seriously, and processes that result in auto money generation are a serious risk to our economy's stability. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Using programs to automatically generate money is not alllowed. It is both unfair and a risk to economic stability. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: I've recently started using macromod, soley for the onscreen labels etc, using tutorials to help me. I wasn't really thinking and just trying out all the tutorials I found on the forums. I apologise for attempting to use an automine macro (for some reason I thought it was ok as long as I wasn't afk...not sure where I got that assumption) and reassure the staff team that I will not even attempt to use macros from now on. I appreciate that this is a fairly serious offense, but I hope that this is viewed as an honest mistake, largely due to my lack of experience with any mods in general. Thanks. EDIT: To my knowledge, this part of macromod is blocked in any event...
Hello, @TomKellyCreeper. Thank you for appealing, to start off, I'd like to quote this: You were not banned for actually using the macro. Exactly as your ban reason states, you were banned for attempted use of the automine macro. Now, on the actual appeal. Hacking is not tolerated on ECC. Although some of the parts of MacroMod are legal, you should avoid the parts that are against the rules, which you should be well aware of. You, as a two-year member and an Ecoleader, should know better than anyone else. As this is your first and hopefully last offense when it comes to hacking, I will be issuing you a 3-day TempBan. In the meantime, I suggest you go over the rules found here. If you have any questions, feel free to forum PM me. Locked - User TempBanned for 3 days.
