Denied Gamzee24 Forum Rating Removal [Myrmidous][Denied]

• Server name (.net / .org ): Forums

• In-game name: Gamzee24

• Full exact Ban Message: NA

• Did you read the rules? Yes.

• Why do YOU think you were banned? I rated 2 posts a dislike in the thread “Count to 50 before a staff member posts.”

• Was this an incorrect ban? Yes, because a rate abuse is abusing your permission to rate, like rating everyone’s posts a negative rating, and that’s not what I did. I only rated twice. Plus I didn't know this was a bannable thing, at least I could've gotten a warning about this after the first time I made a negative rating but I didn't.

• Were you ever banned before on SkyBlock? If so, what for? I have not been banned on the forums.

• Why do you think you should be unbanned? Because this was a false removal of my perms, which should be given back because what I did was not rate abuse.@Leeroieee if you think that this statement that I said is false, then I also think I should be unbanned because I was not aware of this before, and I didn't know that negative ratings aren't allowed in that thread. So, I was like (hopefully) to get my perms back now or at least have the rating posts ban shortened.

Hello Gamzee,

I'm sorry that you feel that I've treated you unfairly.

It seems to me that you might be more comfortable if recuse myself from this appeal. I will be reach out to the staff team for a volunteer to carry on this appeal in my absence.

Hopefully someone will be available to assist you shortly. Thank you for your patience.

 

I could care less who replies to this appeal, I just want it sorted out.

 

Myrmidous are you helping me with this now????

 

Good evening, Mr. Gamzee.

I apologize for the wait: A large amount of reports and alerts come through every day. I try to handle them in a "first come, first served" manner but this means some issues are occasionally placed on hold if my schedule becomes too full. Moving on to your issue:

I understand your frustration that you could not win the "Count to 50 Before A Staff Posts" thread. However not being able to count to fifty before an interruption is not a valid excuse to weaponize the ratings system. You seem to be using negative ratings to discourage people from participating in a trivial community-based game: This is unacceptable and not an appropriate way to express yourself.

Checking your warnings it seems like there is a history of abusing negative ratings when you are upset, Gamzee. Every single one of your infractions for the last two years is related to misusing the rate system. On two separate occasions you have even received a week long ban-- there is nothing here that indicates you have learned to control yourself over the years.

Moving forward: You are welcome to continue posting and contributing to the community, sir. However for the time being you will need to do so without the benefit of rating anything. Please utilize this time to consider better approaches to expressing yourself and, when your ban expires, I sincerely hope to see better behavior in the future.

Happy Skyblocking,
