    1. Server name (.net / .org ): .NET
    2. In-game name: Sabbath.
    3. Full exact Ban Message: irl trade Please appeal @ Skyblock Forums -Adrian
    4. Did you read the rules? Yes.
    5. Why do YOU think you were banned? Staff members and players have misunderstood me.
    6. Was this an incorrect ban? Yes.
    7. Were you ever banned before on SkyBlock? If so, what for? Rude behaviour mostly.
    8. Why do you think you should be unbanned? "Attempting to sell in game items/accounts (or currency for .org) for out of game currency (of any kind)"
      Quoted rules up there. First of all, I haven't traded with anyone yet. Secondly, I was trying to trade my rares for CS:GO skins or TF2 hats, which is not considered to be a currency, as far as I know. Those are other in-game items, you can get them without paying real money, thus is why it is legal.

    This means that anything out of game used to trade for stuff in game is illegal. You broke the rules....again...
    You have been permanently banned several times before. Why did you think it was acceptable to break the rules again?

    I have been told by different staff members that it is legal to trade items for CS:GO items, since it is not a currency. Pardon, but I have seen people trading diamonds for capes and TF2 items both on this network and on MV.

    I haven't broken any rules this time, I just don't understand this rule in particular. I get that trading items for real money or bitcoins is illegal, but I didn't attempt to do that.

    Here is definition of currency in Oxford dictionary:
    -A system of money in general use.

    Pretty sure that CS:GO skins is not a system of money.

    I'm not trying to act intelligent or anything here, I just want to know what I shouldn't buy using in-game items. If you can make a list of general groups of items that are illegal to trade for, that'd be great.

    Did you actually trade anything? If you didn't then this is a preemptive ban and has no ground for sticking. If you were banned for just saying that you were selling stuff, with zero warnings, then I am disgusted.

    It has been simple since the rule was implemented.
    In game currency/items can only be traded for skyblock/mineverse related items and ranks. Money/profit is not to be made by in game items.
    Capes, skins, gift cards and accounts, codes of any sort, steam items etc are not considered "skyblock related". Capes recently being illegal to trade for in game items, confirmed by Cyp.

    Out of game items means anything not in game. So decoding the rule: You are not allowed to trade in game items for anything outside of the game (skyblock).

    I haven't traded anything. If you don't believe me, check logs.
    Okay, thank you. There has been a lot of misunderstanding earlier, thus why I unintentionally "broke" this rule.

    You've broken the rules enough times to know them inside and out. Loopholes will not save you. Appeal denied
