Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?: No, I have not changed my name

Which of ECC's services are you banned on? [Main Server]

Reason of Ban: Continuous vulgar language/harassment of other players/Staff disrespect

Rule violated:

Spoiler: Section 4-Chat, Channels and Discussions

• Clause 2 - Vulgarity
  
  
  • Inappropriate and vulgar language is not allowed. This includes anything put on signs, said in chat, written in books, renamed to on items (see Section 3 Clause 2.1), spelt out in blocks (see Section 2, Clause 2.1), or any other way of communicating.
    • Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (eg. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user.
  • Repeated or excessive swearing, and especially vulgar language directed at anyone, is not tolerated under any circumstance.
  • Racist language or prejudicial language of any sort falls under the vulgarity rule, and is considered a very serious offence, punishment of which may not warrant a warning before being given a ban,

Spoiler: Section 2-Griefing, Trolling and Harassment

• Clause 2 - Trolling
  
  
  • Trolling is not allowed on the server, especially any trolling that is directed towards another user. This includes, but is not limited to:
    • Flame baiting
    • Harassment (See Section 2 Clause 3.)
    • Cyber-bullying
    • Attempts to start any form of chaos and discord within the server.

• Clause 3 - Harassment
  
  
  • Harassment constitutes as any form of action (chat or game play wise) that makes another player feel threatened or otherwise ruins their game play.
    • Griefing in the wild does not constitute harassment. Harassment in the wild is strictly chat/command based.
  • This includes, but is not limited to; blackmail, bullying or any other form of harassment that occurs through our chat system.
  • Attempting to kill other players in any non-PvP zone also constitutes as harassment, and succeeding in killing other players in non-PvP areas is a very severe offence that will result in a ban.
  • Harassment is absolutely inexcusable on EcoCityCraft. If you are engaging in this behavior expect to be removed from the server with little to no warning.
  • Disrespecting staff falls under this rule - They are players too.

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: The three above rules mean that while using any service of ecocitycraft, especially in-game, you shouldn't swear and you should have enough respect for other players to not troll and disrespect them. As well, you should not cross the line while speaking to anyone in chat.

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned:
I feel like I should be unbanned because this is one of the few times I have messed up on ECC. The other two times were for a powertool mishap spamming chat, and the other being moderate trolling. Even though I have only messed up a few times during my three years on ECC, I have let my emotions get the better of me recently. This is not acceptable. There is absolutely no excuse for what I did during the past 2 weeks, and honestly even since January when I got my first ban for trolling. In 2015 I have harassed, trolled, disrespected and been blatantly rude to so many users. The worst of all being the moderators I have abused. I am incredibly sorry for how I have treated you all and I would like to formally apologize to each and every one of you. From being a previous staff member on ECC I know how stressful and time consuming the job is. I know how much time and effort you all put into ECC every day. By knowing that, I realize that me being a troll has put a load of extra work on all of your shoulders. If I had continued being a "normal" player and carried on as I did in the past, I would not have caused any issues for you. Overall, me doing what I did this year has been a huge waste of your time, which could have been spent doing things you enjoy. I am very sorry for making you all have to deal with my behaviour and put up with me.

After not being able to appeal this ban for 24 hours, I have had some time to think about my actions. I have decided that I must become a good example for other players on ECC. Not just because it is the right thing to do, but because the community is a much better place when everyone is kind. ECC is built around positive actions and having fun as a community. This cannot happen if one or two users decide to troll and be idiots. I was told by a few players that ECC was much more fun for them before Christmas of this year, when I was not a troll. I took that to heart. For that very reason I will try my best to be a respectable member of our community.

In addition to everything said above, I would like formally apologize for everything I have said and done in the last four months. I am especially sorry for making all the fuss about "TeamRheas" and I sincerely apologize to Back, emongo and 7am as I have harassed them the most out of any user here. I also apologize to those who I swore at when they killed me in SG. There is no excuse for this and I am very sorry that you had to see it. If anyone would like a personal apology from me, I encourage you to contact me and I will be more than happy to apologize for my previous actions. As well, I must apologize to itz and bman for trolling with you. This is not who I am and I think we all got pulled into the idea of trolling by each other. Can we please stop this now because much like itz, I would like to become a better person and be respected again on ECC. Thanks!
