[Ban Appeal]

Minecraft Username:
Glimpseseer

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

Which of ECC's services are you banned on? [Main Server/Teamspeak/Shoutbox - delete as appropriate]:
Main Server

Reason of Ban:
AFK Auto Fishing Mobs

Rule violated:
Section 6- Unfair Play:

Clause 4 - Automation

• The use of any means to earn money without doing any work is prohibited.
• This includes, but is not limited to, macromod scripts, autofisher mods, fully automated farms, and physical means to hold a button down while away from your computer.
• Usage of automated means is allowed for MCMMO grinding, providing you are not generating money and are not afk (e.g. an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a player is allowed, an autoclicker to train the swords skill on a mob spawner is not).
• If you are found to have used any kind of illegal automation, your relevant statistics/balance will be reduced and/or cleared entirely at the discretion of administration.
• Be warned that we take this very seriously.

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:
To me this rule states that no user is allowed to generate income through the use automated means.

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned:
I was called out to work and had to leave immediately so I turned my mouse off to save battery life unknowing it would continue to try and fish.

So I guess the reason why I think I should be unbanned is that I was unaware of the Automation that was taking place. Would I have known that turning my mouse off would cause an automation I would have left the area or simply disconnected which in hindsight, I should have done. I apologize for this ignorance.

 

So my girlfriend thought it would be funny to taunt me with having access to the server and played a bit the other day around my towns, and she has now been banned too as her playing has bypassed my ban due to being on the same IP. Does she also need to file a ban appeal?
