    Punished account name: Toxicize
    Platform or server punished on: Skyblock
    Ban message if applicable: "Island farming is NOT allowed here. Please read our rules."
    Have you read the rules?: Yes
    Do you think this punishment was incorrect?: No
    Why should you be unbanned?: In a prior appeal for the account of my girlfriend who was unrelated to this incident and thus received an unban, I expressed how I made this mistake due to the fact I was careless when skimming through the rules, and just completely read over the island farming rule. Whilst I am aware I very much did break that rule, I never had the intention to exploit the rules of this server. Now that I have been made aware of the mistake I made, and have since read the rules more thoroughly, I hope that I am able to express that I have had no and still hold no ill intentions, and will be sure to keep the rules into account far more carefully whilst playing on the server.
    Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: My only other just ban is on my alt account (XxOblivion), which was understandably banned for the exact same reason this account was.

    Hey Toxicize, I appreciate your forthcomingness about the situation and that you have already apologized. This is a great step forward in the appeal process. Since you already admit fault and have assured me that you will not repeat this offence, I'm happy to unban you provided you can do one thing for me. Could you please explain the rule below in your own words and why we do not allow it on our server? This is to confirm you understand what island farming is and why we have such strict rules surrounding it. Thank you for your cooperation and time!

    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).

    Thanks,
    Bree

    The rule regarding island farming pertains to continuously resetting one's island to repeatedly withdraw the starter items from said island to gain an unfair advantage over players who are not breaking this rule. (In my case, this was primarily expressed by mining dirt from the continuously reset island to generate blocks for a forest biome reconstruction). Similarly, trading islands containing more illicit items than expected from a starter island is also not allowed without the guidance of a staff member. To ensure that players do not gain unfair quantities of specific items on their islands without the same amount of work put into obtaining these items as players who obtained these items legitimately (e.g. by placing down earned grass blocks as opposed to farming dirt), this practice is strictly banned.


    Thanks for the swift response by the way!
