Minecraft Username: FierceSoccer 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: Destroying blocks of which is not yours on purpose of an unprotected town. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: First of all, this was about more than 3-5 months ago. I was in someone elses town in my house. And I swear and promise that I did not commit the action. My cousins were over and since I did not want to play mincraft, I let my younger cousin play. He destroyed some blocks of others houses and stole a horse. To be honest, This was not major and I personally don't think it should be a lifetime ban. But yes, I do take responsibility of letting him play but I don't think I deserve a lifetime ban. I quit Minecraft because of this and currently my friend convinced me to play. I honestly want to play on this server with him because I think it's the greatest server I have ever played on and is absolutely perfect. I will not be able to enjoy anything on my Minecraft if I am not able to get back to this server. It does not mind me if I start out with nothing again as that should be an added punishment. But again, I am truly sorry for what happened and it will never happen again. Thank you for listening and I hope you get back to me.
Hi Fierce, Thank your for appealing. Regardless whether your cousin was in control of your account or not, we still have rules set in place. If you wish to engage in our ever so growing community, we expect you to abide them. Your account is your property, ultimately being your responsibility. As for your grief, it seems you've learned that grief is not tolerated at all. Please take this as your one reminder that any sort of grief in protected regions will and most likely always be punishable. In the event if this happens again, I can assure you the punishment will not be this lenient. Since this is your first offense, I will be reducing your ban to a 2 hour temp. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you in game. Locked -- User issued 2 hour temp Have any questions on how I handled this appeal? Feel free to forum message me for discussion.
