    Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?:No

    Reason of Ban: Abuse of Pyro Donation

    Rule violated:

    Clause 7: Investigator



      • The staff/admins will never act upon any user's investigation. This is for your own personal needs as town owners; etc.
      • Submitting any of your own investigative information into any complaint/grief report will cause it to immediately be locked/ignored.
      • Any user caught trolling in any way using the investigator feature will have it removed from them immediately and may face a serious ban from the server. Staff can see vanished users and will act upon any trolling.

    Clause 2: Water and Pyro



      • Supporters who have the water and pyro features are not allowed to grief with those items in protected zones, including any and all spawn areas.
      • This includes attempts to kill people with these perks in non-PvP areas.
      • If caught you will immediately have those features removed from you and will face punishment on our server. This can include a rollback of your actions and a possible ban.

    Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:
    I believe this means as it states, not to grief others things and not to kill people with these perks. It also means that trolling with then is not allowed what-so-ever

    Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: I believe I should be unbanned, because I was in no way attempting to kill the user that ended up catching on fire. And, the only other reason I would have been banned for abusing this feature, is if I were grieving, but the town I was in using the pyro feature, is my personal town. On the same note, what I did wasn't necessarily right, and I should receive a warning/kick/ban for trolling, but not for a donation abuse. (As Oreo was the one who banned me, I can only assume he also noticed I was placing the fire in the same spot that a user was placing a block to put the fire out on proving well enough I was not intending to kill, only to mess with the user I was talking with on TeamSpeak).

    On a Side-note, that likely won't change anything, is that with the Investigator, I wasn't aware it was no trolling with it, I was under the impression that it was no grieving with it.

    On another side note: This was in my town, and I don't see any issue with me using /v while placing things in my own town, regardless or who is in it or what they are doing at the time of me placing dirt.

    Side-Side Note: I also don't see this as a serious enough offence to remove $130 worth of donations.

    Alright @LotBot
    First of all, your ban reason is incorrect. It was modified after the original one, so I suggest checking that again. Secondly, I hope you realize that Donation feature abuse, no matter what the intent was is completely unacceptable. I'm just going to point out a few points that you made in your appeal to illustrate exactly why you were banned.

    This may of been your town, and you may of been an owner on it but that does not give you the right to troll another user of the town, yes its your town, but you still have to treat everyone in your town with the respect and courtesy that the server rules require. This user Pm'd me cause he was panicking about grief in the town, and then he even made a shoutout to global calling to staff to resolve the issue, this was in no way okay and whether it was in your town or not is still considered trolling. Vanishing and then breaking blocks because its funny? Not cool, really not cool.

    If you knew it was wrong why did you do it, and you're questioning the action taken based on the fact you felt it was not against the rules, sounds a little.. well like an oxymoron, you admit that it was wrong, yet you feel that the action taken was unfair. Let me quote the rule that you outed yourself. Maybe you can see for yourself where you went wrong.

    You abused it, I watched you, you were vanished and placed fire around the user, in such proximity that he could not avoid it, and even if you did not /intend/ to kill him, he took damage from your fire placement and that is considered attempted killing. It is also pure pure trolling on your part, especially since he could not see you at all. How is this okay? Oh wait, its not okay.

    Again, you abused this as well, when I was pm'd about this situation I came to investigate and found you and a couple other users in the area, I saw you "investigating" some grief in the town, and listened to you claim you didn't have Vanish. Then I watched you proceed to vanish and break some placed gold ore nearby in the town in front of the user, at which this point this user made the shout-out to global for staff because he honestly felt that the town was being griefed.

    I wouldn't classify this as "messing around" as this user was cleared distressed and confused and not in on the joke, that is trolling, and you only made it worse by using donation features to do so.

    I suggest appealing next time by perhaps showing regret for what what you did and perhaps you can tell us why what you did was wrong. I would also like to see how you plan on improving yourself for the future, cause this is completely unacceptable..
