Reason of Ban:
Harassment/Vulgar Language/Spamming/Major Grief in Suburbville

Rule violated:
Clause 1 - Griefing, Clause 3 - Harassment, and
Clause 2 - Vulgarity

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:
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.

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.

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,

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned:
I am very sorry what i have brought upon Suburbville. I am sorry for the harassment, the vulgar language, and the grief I had brought upon the people of Suburbville. My sorrowfulness can not be expressed with any sort of word or words. Next time I will try to control my temper and think twice because what it lead to was much more than I thought it would. I understand that I used inappropriate words and I wish I could take it back as much as I wish my wishes can not help at this moment. I also understand that I threatened, and I wish this had never happened, I never wanted to threaten the people of Suburbville but once again it happened. I understand that I should of thought twice before I commented so much hateful crimes, once again I am greatly sorry for what I've done yet I do not know what else to say but I am sorry for what I've done.
