Denied OmarsCraft Ban Appeal

Punished account name: OmarsCraft
Platform or server punished on: Skyblock and Economy
Ban message if applicable: Malicious Vandalism
Have you read the rules? Yes
Do you think this punishment was incorrect? No
Why should you be unbanned? It has been a bit over a year since my ban on both skyblock servers, and in that time I truly believe I've fully reflected on the situation and why my punishment was given. I do believe the punishment given was correct, and the only thing I can really say is that I was severely in the wrong for putting myself in that situation and that I am sorry for doing so. While I am able to still interact and talk to my friends on the discord server, I really do miss being able to enjoy endless hours on the server like I used to do, and with some older and newer players returning to the server for the 1.19.2 update I really hope I will be able to join everyone in doing so.
Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: I believe I might've had a mute or 2 and a maybe a ban but I am unsure, and ban evasion that I regret which I addressed in my other appeal.
If you know, tag the staff member that banned you: Kerahna
Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct? Yes I do

 

Hi Omar. I will be handling this appeal over the weekend. Your patience during this time is appreciated.

 

Thank you for keeping me updated gans .

 

Hi Omar, first of all please accept my sincerest apologies for the lack of response on your appeal.
I should have replied to this a lot sooner.


There are a few things we would like to raise with you before I explain the verdict of this appeal.

• Inappropriate in-game chat on several occasions (in-game history)
• Inappropriate discord messages and pictures leading to discomfort
• The involvement in the boat item frame grief unpunished, undiscussed and unresolved
• Ban evading offence while permanently banned

A lot of the offences you have committed on Skyblock are of a large scale and some have gone unpunished.
Could you please explain each of these incidents to me, why they happened and why you thought it was suitable to partake in such activities?

Thank you, and sorry again for my delay.

 

No worries on the delay, I'm just glad I'm being given a chance to speak on this.

1. The Involvement in the boat item frame grief.

As for the boat item frame glitch, I admit I was one to blame for a number of islands being looted. I believe I was the one that spread the info on what the glitch was and how it worked before realizing what I did had just put a lot of people's islands and rares at risk. Not once did I partake in the looting of any of the islands, however, my involvement resulted in a large amount of chaos and stress across the server. My involvement included informing some people (if needed I can name who) on the glitch, who then went on to take it to a whole other level by actually looting islands that had rares item framed. Another thing I had done was publicly name islands that could be at risk, which again, was a poor decision on my part that resulted in these islands being looted. A lot of my involvement was just poor decision making with the information I had that I gave to the wrong people that ended up causing chaos for the entire server. However, I had no sort of benefit from this event, anything that was looted from those islands never crossed my hands and all I had was regret when even some of my friends (I never named these people to anyone that did the boat glitch) came back to Skyblock to find that their island had been looted. And when I saw that even my friends were looted, that was when I really realized how big of a mistake I made with the information I had on the glitch. As for whether or not I should've said something on who played the biggest role in the boat glitch, I'm sure you can understand the fear of not knowing if some of your friends will be back on the server if you told on them. After seeing the immediate bans of some players, I figured it was best to keep my mouth shut before I cause more harm than I had already done that week. Not only that, but information sometimes runs wild on the server, and I feared the fact I might be judged or closed out by my friends if they found out I was the reason for someones ban.


2. Inappropriate in-game chat on several occasions

I admit I tend to speak without a filter at times, which can result in arguments or discomfort. I don't think there really is an excuse for anything I've said in the past, except maybe that I felt that the staff team was more lax than what the rule book implied when it comes to in-game chat. Oftentimes, the staff team sort of looked past some conversations or words I said, which may have given me the impression that I possibly should look past it too? I'm in no way trying to put the blame or fault on anyone, if anything I put fault on my past self for being careless and reckless with my choice of words and topics in the past. I admit I took advantage of how lax some rules were enforced, but I confidently believe that's not the kind of person I am now. I know just saying these things is not as reassuring as I'd hope it to be, but I feel like I'm a lot more careful with what I say even if there are no staff present. I know it's hard to build trust with this kind of offense, but I confidently believe I've made the right changes with how I approach things and how I speak on things now.

3. Inappropriate discord messages and pictures leading to discomfort

I believe this is the same for what I replied above, I agree that I have had moments and probably several where I was out of line with what I was speaking on or just completely impolite with topics or pictures I may have sent or posted. Again, I took advantage of how lax some rules tend to be, and often time I admit I was completely out of line and ignored rules. There is no excuse for this, and I'd understand if the staff team didn't fully trust my word in this without seeing improvement. But again, I believe I've made the right changes and have without a doubt bettered myself and how I not just talk but how I approach situations and people.

4. Ban evading offense while permanently banned

I believe I addressed this in my past appeal, and brought it up somewhat recently on Discord. After being away from the server for what had been maybe 8 months at the time? Up till that point I had respected the decision of me being permanently banned, but like many of my other mistakes, I gave into something I would instantly regret soon after. I was given the opportunity to play on the server once again during the height of a drop party where many of my friends I haven't seen or talked to in months would be back on. But, even when I was reunited with my friends, I knew it felt wrong. Originally, the person who allowed me to come back to the server wanted me to help them with the drop party and stay hidden. But the entire situation felt off and wrong to me, so what I did was spread the word that I was on the server to a large majority of the server, which also included moderators. The honest reason why I did this was so that I can live out however much time I could on the account yourjustlikepapa, before the 4 moderators I told about my presence on the server reported my situation and ended my time on the server once again. I more than regret the situation, even though I enjoyed my time being able to see and talk to my friends, I never truly felt right about any of it. But, the main the behind me ban evading was just out of desperation to see and talk to those that I hadn't for months. It's a bad look and it showed how lacking I was when it came to respecting my ban and complying with the rules. However, since then I more than respect any decision the staff team has with my appeal, and I hope the staff members that read this can trust in my word that I have made a change and I'm more than willing to accept and respect whichever action that comes after this.

I truly believe I've been transparent in each of these responses, however, if more detail, information, or answers or required, I am more than willing to answer any questions or concerns. And I'd like to thank each and every staff member who's had a part in this appeal, all I've ever wanted was another chance and I can't thank you enough for letting me appeal and putting time and effort into reading and replying to what I have to say.

 

Hi Omar,

Thank you for taking the time to explain these things to us from your perspective. I appreciate your transparency however I am also aware that you were only candid about these things when prompted. Someone truly remorseful would have volunteered the information right away in the appeal.
I hope writing about this has made you realise the severity of your actions along with the repercussions of those.
Your long history of offences, rule breaks and unpleasantness is too vast to discuss an unban on this occasion.

To recap these offences include, but are not limited to:​

• Ban evasion
• Problematic chat offences
• Abuse of in-game glitches/systems

These incidents have caused the Staff Team several hours of investigating and wasted time just to resolve and straighten out. Unfortunately, on this occasion, we will not be accepting your appeal. This has been reviewed with the staff team and we have decided to sustain your permanent ban. We do not have confidence that you will not re-offend should you return.

Permanent bans are not meant to be appealed; on the very rare occasion will these be accepted. I appreciate that you miss being apart of the community so we welcome you to remain on our Discord server to establish your reputation and still have access to communicating with friends.

I hope you understand our reasoning for this and I wish you all the best.

 

Thank you for creating an appeal, but unfortunately your appeal has been denied.
