    Hi, Ripley!

    Thank you for taking the time to create an appeal, and for your honesty in addressing the situation at hand. I understand that navigating our server rules can be complex, and I do appreciate your commitment to ensure you will not do this again.

    Upon reviewing the logs, it is clear that you, along with your associated ALT accounts, were involved in island farming, resulting in a 7-day ban. We take a firm stance against any forms of Island Farming on our servers, as it undermines the fair play and integrity Skyblock strives to maintain.

    Nevertheless, I appreciate your honesty in acknowledging the situation and expressing your commitment to adhere to the rules from now on. As we move forward with the appeal process, I would like to delve deeper into your understanding of the specific rule that was breached. It is crucial for us to ensure clarity and prevent any future misunderstandings. In your appeal, you mentioned that you have thoroughly read the rules and have no intention of repeating the offense. To proceed, I want you to provide your very own interpretation of the rule pertaining to Island Farming. This will help us gauge your understanding and ensure that we are on the same page regarding the incident in question.

    Here is the breached rule you will kindly provide an interpretation for:

    ISLAND FARMING
    Island farming is the act of repeatedly creating new islands to gather more items for your own personal advantage . Island farming will result in a punishment and all of the farmed items will be confiscated from your possession. Island trading is classified as another form of island farming if done incorrectly. In order to trade islands with another player, you must have a Staff Member check the island and remove all illegal items that do not come with the original starter island. By trading an island without having it approved, you risk getting banned for island farming if the islands were traded with more illegal items than the starter island provides (click here for a full list of illegal items).


    Your cooperation is essential in resolving this matter, and I appreciate your commitment to upholding the standards of fair play. Once I have received your interpretation of the rule, I will further assess your appeal and provide you with an update.

    Thank you,
    Devannn_.

    Please rewrite the Island Farming rule in your own words:

    ISLAND FARMING
    Island farming is the act of repeatedly creating new islands to gather more items for your own personal advantage . Island farming will result in a punishment and all of the farmed items will be confiscated from your possession. Island trading is classified as another form of island farming if done incorrectly.

    Island farming is where you or any of your alt/friends recreate new islands to farm illegal items for your own personal advantage. You will receive a punishment of all the farmed items you have collected. It is illegal to trade islands without staff members checking and removing any illegal items. You cannot trade an island without getting it approved by a staff member resulting a ban if you keep attempting this in different ways.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I would just like to draw your attention to these two statements which are listed in our Punishment Appeal Information Thread (Click Here if you would like to read it):
    • Do not ask/spam staff members to look at your appeal.
    • Be patient! The staff team have lives outside of the game too, please do not constantly message them to respond or look at your appeal. This will decrease chances of a successful appeal.
    I received message requests from yourself which include 'When am I getting unbanned' and 'Check appeal now'. Creating a ban appeal does not always mean that one will become immediately unbanned. There is a process. We have specific guidelines and tips in place to ensure that members are fully aware of what is expected of both Staff Members and the member in question. Upon reviewing the appeal and considering the circumstances, the initial intent was to grant a complete unbanning. However, in light of this failure to comply with the established guidelines, my decision has been revised. Instead of a full unbanning, your ban will now be reduced to a period of three days. Please take this time as an opportunity to reflect on your actions, as well as re-read on our rules and guidelines.

    Thank you,
    Devannn_.
