Minecraft Username: ihazpiez87 Reason of Ban: Scamming @Aaron_Mifsud and @iTzXtremeGaming Rule violated: Clause 2 - Scamming A general definition of a scam in the context of EcoCityCraft is a transaction in which a user pays for goods or services from another user, and does not receive those goods/services in the agreed upon timeframe. Failing to uphold your end of the deal is scamming, and is punishable by a ban. Your continuance on the server may rely on you following through with your end of the deal, or refunding what you scammed, solely at the staff’s discretion. Clause 2.1 - Renaming items Users cannot rename items for the purpose of making them misleading (for example, taking a cookie and renaming it “Diamond Sword”, and then attempting to auction or trade it without specifying that the item is a cookie is against the rules) If you are auctioning or trading an item that has been renamed, you MUST specify what the item was before it was renamed. All renamed items must follow the language and content rules for chat on the server. If it would not be appropriate in global, it is not an appropriate item name. Making or distributing items that are inappropriately named are both punishable to the same extent. If you find or receive an item that has been inappropriately named, please inform a staff member immediately, so that they may investigate and act appropriately. Clause 2.2 - Attempted Scamming Users cannot attempt to scam other users. If enough evidence is provided and the staff believe a scam was intended, this will result in a temporary ban against the offending user. Attempted scamming includes misleading sales or auctions. For example an auction for 'a melon,sword'. Clause 2.3 - Player Run Lotteries Any player run lottery is disallowed and will be treated as attempted scams or actual scamming depending on the situation. This includes any type of raffle or lottery that requires a buy in. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: Taking something of someone else's that you originally promised to give back, but never did. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: First off, I would like to start out by saying I will try to do this appeal with a better attitude. My last appeal was written in a very bad way, but trying to explain it will most likely make it worse. I hope that this appeal will be better I do admit to scamming both @Aaron_Mifsud and @iTzXtremeGaming . I would like to pay back 375k to @Aaron_Mifsud and 175k to @iTzXtremeGaming . I owe them more than they payed me, so I believe that is a fair amount to pay. These people are both nice and have done nothing bad to me or the server, so I was just being a jerk for doing what I did. If I do get back on the server I would like to try to be a nicer person, and still remain friends with the ones I had before I got into this situation. I hope that this appeal is more truthful to what happened. I do not mean to make anyone angry and am not attempting to lie in this appeal. I did lots of bad things in my past on this server that I can hopefully make up. Thank you for reading this, and please only reply if you are related to the post.
Hello @ihazpiez87 I can see that you owe 150k to @iTzXtremeGaming and 320k to @Aaron_Mifsud. This is your first offense for scamming, and I certainly hope it is your last. Given the time you've been banned and that your appeal has been up I will be unbanning you. I will give you two weeks to repay @iTzXtremeGaming, meaning you must pay him by 3/19/2015. @Aaron_Mifsud is currently inactive, so I will not immediately require payment for this, however should he return he may file a complaint to be repaid so I would strongly suggest you make the money owed to him and keep it on hand. Since you've been banned so long, I'd highly recommend a read through of the rules. Welcome back.
