Denied Banned For Sexual Reference

IGN: HotAsianBeans

Date: 2/10/14

Reason: Love Hut blah blah

Length: 2 days

Staff Member:abbythrowstuff

Appeal: Well considering my first ban got denied before I got a chance to reply, I would like to post another one. From the proof that has been shown, I said "hnnng", "slow it down fo the babe", and "goin hard". There is nothing overly sexual about those statements. In my first appeal, abbythrowstuff claimed that I was "shift clicking" next to a staff member, then proceeded to post screenshots that had neither shiftclicking or me. Unless you actually have some real evidence to back up your claims, I would advise you step your game up.

 

I didn't have time to make a video, you did this to me and Megustayou when we seemed AFK. If we were to move, you'd follow. Here is proof once more. View attachment 7326 View attachment 7327

Also if you look between the two screenshots, it shows you shifting and unshifting

 

Wow you continue to accuse without proof. You have no proof that I am even in those screenshots. You have no proof that there was any shift clicking involved. I don't understand what you mean when you asked me to look between the two screenshots. From what I can see, you posted 2 screenshots of 2 players just standing there.

 

When I was staff, if you banned without sufficient proof you would get auto demoted.

That is your skin in the photos is it not?

 

Yup, it's a skin I downloaded off the internet. A very common one too. I see deadpool skins on Meepcraft everyday. How can you prove that the player in the picture is in fact me? Also, the player in the screenshots is not doing anything wrong, so I don't know why it would matter either way.

 

Eh, I'll take whatever warning points I get for this. There are a few major issues at heart here.

1)

This is not equating intention of sexuality to action. This is far from enough evidence to even begin suggesting sexual connotation. You should not have used that statement to defend the ban, it puts you in a bad spot.

2) Those two screenshots are pure rubbish. They show nothing except a text chat, so any argument you have chosen to further that defense based on the screenshots are moot. You cannot tell WHO is in that picture, just a guy in a skin with enchanted diamond armor. You could have easily moved the mouse just a tad bit up and caught the correct information needed to support the argument the person in the picture was HotAsianBeans, you didn't. You lost that one.

3) The kicker in this case, is the chat is sexual, at least sexual enough to supercede any doubts raised by either statement or individual screenshotted. The chat alone would warrant the ban, and arguments towards "That is not what I meant", and etc is a stupid defense by someone trying to get through a loophole. The ban should stay for this reason.

However, more concerning is the precendent this sets. Is shift-clicking inherently sexual without the text addition? If shifting and unshifting next to someone ban worthy? Can it be linked to sexual connotations without additional evidence of intent? I firmly believe that this case has not been made clear enough to set precedent in rules/laws. From the argument of the mod, the issue was with the shifting, not the text.

Since it is up to the staff to decide whether or not my words were a sexual reference, I guess I'll just take this one. See you in 2 days Meepcraft.
