Punished account name: BarryHarris and TheSofaBearKing (for ban evasion of BarryHarris)
Platform or server punished on: Economy
Ban message if applicable: "Island farming is NOT permitted here" and "Ban evasion, alt of BarryHarris"
Have you read the rules? Yes.
Do you think this punishment was incorrect? Absolutely. I willingly broke the rules to see how far I could push it; not very far it seems, you guys seem to be on top of everything somehow.
Why should you be unbanned? Because I have no friends and no life and nothing to live for and I'm very ambivalent about doing anything actually productive IRL.
Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: One time on the same two accounts for being aimlessly toxic in chat.
If you know, tag the staff member that banned you: Megan
Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct? For sure.

 

Hi TheSofaBearKing, thanks for your appeal.
We are currently in the process of removing all the dirt considered to be island farmed from your possession. When this has been completed, we will continue with the appeal.

In the meantime, I strongly suggest you read over the server rules. I am happy to answer any questions on those if they are unclear !

 

Hi TheSofaBearKing, thank you for your patience.
The dirt has now been removed so we can pursue this appeal

Over the last few days, you've been repeatedly Island Farming islands to obtain dirt by illegal means.
I am glad to see you being honest and taking responsibility for your ban. Upon investigating this incident we logged a total of 4000+ dirt blocks and approximately 140+ sand blocks that was farmed by you using an alternative account. You have been around a longtime on Skyblock, so I have no doubt you know the rules.
As this ban has exaggerated, we do not allow island farming under any circumstances. This opens up many unfair advantages on the server. The dirt was unfairly used for your own advantage to attain a high balance on the server.

For us to continue with this appeal, in your own words can you please explain to me:

1. What is island farming to you?
2. Why you broke this rule, even though you quoted you understood the rules?
3. What is ban evading and why is this wrong?

Thanks for appealing, look forward to hearing back soon

 

1. Island farming is repeatedly making islands to obtain otherwise hard-to-get items and/or blocks with ease, which is blatantly cheating thus making it unfair for everyone else who obtains said items legally/fairly.

2. Probably ego, or wanting to see how far I could go. Or both. I'm kind of addicted to the rush of getting away with things, probably derived from the "residue" child in me. And I'm just dumb as heck.

3. Ban evasion is when a person is disregarding a ban on one account and trying to bypass it on another.
- For the record, and it's ultimately up to you to believe it or not, I left on BarryHarris before the ban, and logged in on my main after and wasn't aware that I'd gotten banned in between the time of logging off BH and logging in on TSBK, only realizing I'd been banned on BH when it said I was banned for ban evasion. But that sounds like something a guilty person would say.

 

Apologies I didn't reply sooner - it was getting late for me!

Thank you for the honesty within your answers, it is clear to me you have taken responsibility for your ban and that you have a good understanding of our server rules. I understand that sometimes temptation over shadows a clear mind into thinking that "you won't get caught" and the rush that can give you.

Due to the severity of this island farm, and the obvious fact this was an intentional rule break, I am going to shorten the ban. This means your ban will expire in 48 hours from now.
If an incident like this happens again on any of your accounts, the ban will be of much longer length.

Thank you again for appealing.
See you soon

 

Thank you for creating an appeal, your appeal has been shortened!

Please make sure that you read our rules here before continuing on as normal!
