The other day I was greifed by erikboycool moderator Moopuff had banned him. That same day erikboycool posted a ban appeal on the forums. Moopuff felt pity on him and un-banned him. Please if there are any mods out there that can read this message please! ban erikboycool he should still be banned from this server but he isn't! please help me!!

 

So you're saying, If a person griefs, he should be banned forever?

Nice way to destroy the server

 

From what I can see, moopuff unbanned him but placed him on final warning, meaning that if he ever griefs again he will be perm banned. Because of this, I don't think you will need to worry about him ever griefing you or anyone else again, but if by chance he does, he won't be allowed on again.

 

Appeals aren't supposed to end denied, they are there to give people second chance. Now Mods do have different strictness levels, but they unban players when they feel that the player really means it. Of course they make mistakes, noone is able to see from a computer screen if a person is sorry or not. If Moopuff had unbanned him I believe she had reason to, and if the player commits any more sins he/she will recieve a punishment and chances of being unbanned lower. I don't see the problem.

 

Something called learning from your mistakes. Getting banned once doesn't mean you never get unbanned. People can get second chances.

 

Believe it or not, we have hearts just like everyone else. We have feelings. If we feel the player will never do their act again, we give them a second chance. Not sayin that you would but what if you got banned? You would want a second chance. Anyways, if they did it again, they would be banned again.

 

“People screw up. People screw up a lot. We allow our own selfishness to overpower us at times. It happens. But you can’t allow that to tear you down. You can’t keep dwelling on your past choices, and your past actions, or else you’ll never learn from them.”

"Forgive, that you might be forgiven"

 

It is up to the mod who banned on whether or not the banned player deserves to get another chance. If you expect every person to ever get banned to stay banned, a lot of people who made small mistakes and truly felt sorry would never again be able to play Skyblock. Part of being a mod is having the ability to make decisions using facts and empathy. I'm sorry that someone you feel did not deserve to have another chance got one, but I'm sure if you got banned you would want the benefit of the doubt and another chance. So try to put yourself in both Moopuff's shoes and the other player's.

 

If the player posted a ban appeal and was unbanned, they will not be re-banned unless they break the rules again. They paid for the crime they committed against you in the form of being temporarily banned (like a time out).

As there is nothing else we can do, I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread. If anyone has a problem with that, please pm me.
