Punished account name: BigChiefKeif, LilChiefKeif Platform or server punished on: Skyblock Ban message if applicable: Abusing /gift rewards with over 50 alternate accounts Have you read the rules? Yes, I have read the rules over and have a solid understanding of the rules. Do you think this punishment was incorrect? After gaining an understanding of the rules regarding alternate accounts, although there is not a ton of information regarding abuse of /gifts or the use of alternate accounts or accounts of friends/family, I believe this could be a rightful ban without taking into consideration I was unaware of the rules and was not aware there was a limit for alternate accounts. With that being said, I was unaware of the rules regarding alternate accounts and this was not for financial gain. I was not trying to deceive anyone or break the rules, and I was unaware these actions would result in a ban. I failed to see how this action would put me at an unfair advantage as I was so caught up in the heat of the moment but I do see that now. I am so very sorry and would do anything to make this right. Why should you be unbanned? I believe I should be unbanned because I was unclear of the rules of alternate accounts. I had an understanding that alternate accounts were unable to claim specific event items, not involving /gifts. I now have an understanding of abuse regarding alternate accounts and will no longer utilize those resourses. I understand the problem that occurred here and this will not happen again. Please accept my most sincere apology. Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: I have been banned on skyblock classic more than once. These times were over 10 years ago when I was a child and not on the new /skyblock and /economy servers. If you know, tag the staff member that banned you: @Houzo Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct? Yes, I understand the rules and code of conduct. Thank you for your time, Keif
Hi Keif. Thank you for taking the time to appeal your ban. I find this very hard to believe as you have been playing on our server for over 10 years. A seasoned player such as yourself has to no debatably be aware that using alternate accounts for gift rewards, drop parties, etc is not allowed. There is a warning on the St. Patrick's Day 2024 announcement thread regarding the use of alternate accounts for this specific reward. 'Please note: The "Mini Leprechaun" Head is only claimable on one server and alts are not permitted. Any alt usage will result in confiscation.' Additionally, the plugin in-game displays a message regarding the use of alternate accounts when trying to claim too many heads. I haven't got the exact message but it's along the lines of 'You have already claimed the maximum number of rewards for this IP.' I have no doubt that during this process, you came across the above problem of not being able to claim multiple heads on multiple accounts, which should have been a clear indicator that you're doing something wrong. Using the word deceive is particularly interesting considering that you used an atlening website with a VPN to abuse 64 Mini Leprechaun heads. Additionally, the heads abused were found hidden on your legitimate alternate accounts island. I feel like this action of hiding the heads speaks many words in itself that you know what you were doing was wrong.
Thank you for your feedback. I hear your position and would like to ask you to please consider this appeal to the ban placed on my account for violating the rules regarding alternate accounts. I acknowledge my mistake and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or disruption caused by my actions. I want to clarify that my creation of alternate accounts was not for financial gain or to gain an unfair advantage. I was unaware of the specific limit for alternate accounts and did not fully understand the rules regarding this matter. I realize now that my actions were in violation of the game's policies, and I take full responsibility for my oversight. I understand that warnings were issued on the St. Patrick's Day 2024 announcement thread and in-game messages regarding the use of alternate accounts. However, at the time of the incident, I misunderstood the severity of the situation and failed to comply with the rules. I genuinely enjoy playing the game and have been a loyal and respectful member of the community for many years. I deeply regret any harm caused by my actions and although my actions say otherwise, I assure you that it was never my intention to deceive or break the rules. I am committed to learning from this experience and following the rules diligently in the future. I humbly request for a reconsideration of my account ban and the opportunity to continue enjoying the game responsibly. I assure you that I will strictly adhere to the rules and regulations set forth by the game developers. Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. I appreciate your understanding and am sincerely asking for a positive resolution to this matter.
Thank you for being sincere with your apology and admitting to your actions. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for your negligence regarding using alternate accounts for gift rewards. Please be aware that actions like this in the future will not be tolerated. Your ban will be reduced to 7 days.
