Expired Nick Ban Appeal

Punished account name:
JAWD543

Platform or server punished on:
Economy

Ban message if applicable:
Nick abuse you have been previously warned

Have you read the rules?
Yes

Do you think this punishment was incorrect?
Yes.

Why should you be unbanned?
No where is the rules does it state that my Nick name was against them.

Here is the rule I "broke"

NICKNAME ABUSE
Nickname abuse, commonly known as nick abuse, is the action of setting your nickname to impersonate another player without their consent or setting your nickname to inappropriate or offensive words. Players who break this rule will be asked to change their nickname. If they choose to ignore the request, further punishments will be given. Staff impersonation falls under this rule. Do not change your nickname to match a Staff Member's name without their permission. Confusion will arise in chat and the Staff Member will have a much harder time assisting players.

My first nickname (demoteMeg) may have been offensive which I personally don't think it was rather I was just stating my opinion. But I should have known that those aren't allowed on this server and I apologized for my bad judgement (no harm in that statement just have found that opinion aren't tolerated anymore, no hate). I take full responsibility for the first name that one is on me. However my second nickname (megRespond asking meg to respond to convo) dosent seem to break any of these rules. It wasent inappropriate or offensive. It wasn't stealing / mimicking a staff members name it was simply a request for someone to respond. If you took offensive from that or form your view it was against these rules I apologized and politely ask you give me a breakdown of the rule I broke and how it fit that criteria. I meant no harm form the second name and ask you to reevaluate your decision on banning me.

Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock:

-dirt trade
-console ban

If you know, tag the staff member that banned you:

Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct?
Yes

 

Hello Cyk753, thank you for taking the time to respond to my appeal. You are correct in saying Novembree was clear about the consequences and was clear I was trying to draw the attention of Meggann. However there was zero intent to troll her. I was trying to get Meggann to respond to a conversation we have here on the formus. I don't understand how getting her attention is a form of trolling. Sure changing Nick to avoid a mute is reasonable but no where in the rules does it say I am not allowed to buy lottery tickets with a nickname. There was no intent of trolling, disrespect or provoking with the use of my second nick. It was just a way to remind Meggann to respond to our conversation we have on the formus. (In second thought I should have used mail and will use this next time) You say this is disrespectful which I apologize for being, however I don't see exactly how reminding a staff member of a conversation we have fits under this definition. If you could reevaluate your decision on this ban it would be appreciated. If not could you show me the nick lottery rule and go into more detail on how my second nickname was disrespectful, because I genuinely don't understand how it is.

The definition was merged with the disrespect definition your right I probably could have elaborated more on harassment. I also agree that appeals should be settle before they are closed however when the mods close the appeal and state that any concerns / question you can start a conversation with them, that's what I will do and have done. And you say that they have resolved them in good faith, however they still have not stated what I have done to warrent the mute on economy and anytime I ask them to provide info / proof they either don't respond or pass the problem on to another mod. Also I have been using the formus the way they are intented to be used. If a player says something rude then I should have the right to leave a rude rating on the comment even if they are a staff member. The poke feature is also a two sided feature. You can't poke someone who doesn't poke you back. Also I'm just giving light to some of the old post, it's the same thing as bumping the post. The troll appeals are just appeals that staff member don't take serious and thus leads to a bad appeal, sure I could have been nicer on those. Coming back to trying to get the attention of mods, how can a mod say that they will further explain the pushiment in a private conversation then never reply or give proof. It's quite rude and shows that they never cared to help out. The ghosting after stating they will further explain is the reason I was trying to get their attention. If staff would explain the pushiment properly none of this would have occurred. I appreciate that you are taking the time to explain to me what has happened and will happen and I do appreciate it. The alt account was also a accident. Not sure if you can check the play time or not but as soon as it said that I loged in I instantly left the server. I will try my best to be nice and respectful going forward and would greatly appreciate if you could explain to me my mute on economy as the other staff has failed to do so. I understand you were not the mod who gave it to me but so far you're the only mod who has taking the time to properly discuss an appeal with me. I would just like clarification on what I did to warrent the mute so I can prevent it in the feature. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond to this appeal.

Thanks JAWD543
