Accepted Bigdaddyjoseph Ban Appeal

IGN BigDaddyJoseph

I just not disconnected and now I see notice that I have been banned by Quaddy for xray. I don't use xray and I wasn't even mining, but was working in my house, in Waltonpark. Please correct this situation asap.

Goozzy, was just getting ready to go on ts to ask you to see if Quaddy is available. Not sure what this is about. If he is on, please ask him to look into this. Got to get off here and go to bed for tonight anyway, early morning tomorrow, but would like him to fix this.

I was mining for about 3 hours today, before I finally found a spawner. If I was using x ray, I am the worst miner ever......

lol

 

Here is the proof collected by Quaddy;


You went almost straight to spawners 4 times. This shows you must be using some kind of chestfinder or xray mod.

 

i don't know what a chest finder is, but is sounds cool. I mine a lot, probably my favorite part of the game. Since the wild reset, I have been finding a lot of spawners that are embedded in the walls of caverns easily found. I also read online that they are most common on level 26, so i do long mining tunnels and do run straight into a few of them, or get close enough to hear them anyway. Once I hear one, it is part of the fun to dig around finding the spawner. Yes, I do get lucky sometimes, but I have found a lot of spawners by easy means, not by cheating.

and I don't understand the video, what is the wood blocks all about?

I don't use wood blocks when mining? Or is that just showing me something that was moved from that spot?

--- Double Post Merged, Mar 11, 2014 ---

Not sure if this is public knowledge or not, but that level 26 thing is legit. Read that online somewhere. I can usually stumble across one or two a day that way, was slow today though because I had lots of rl work to do.

 

The wooden blocks are part of the plugin we use to track who does what.

If you notice, every time he places a block, a red 'log' of what you did pops up in the chat.

It seems very fishy that your would mine almost straight to those dungeons. I doubt that you could hear the dungeons from as far away as you were.

 

Fishy or not, I like to mine. I happen to be fairly good at it. Had a great haul tonight even. Look at the one I found tonight, it took forever to dig around in every stinking direction to find the thing, but I did eventually find one. I dug half a mountain in several futile attempts earlier today. 90% of the time, it is just a couple zombies dancing together that sounds like a spawner, or maybe a few skellys, but again, I don't cheat. I don't have to. If I want spawners that badly, they are available for 4 to 5k per.

I bought 5 spider ones just this weekend.

And that video may show the last 30 seconds of a 3o minute time of digging through rock to find it.

I am on road today so will check in when I get a chance. Basically this is situation. I do not cheat and do not like those who do. I also have no issue with banning people who do cheat. Whether I am lucky or I just have a pretty good idea how to find spawners, I do manage to find them.

Please review other times I have found them and you will see. You say I have gone straight to them 4 times. If you mean that I have found 4 of them easily by just going into caves and finding them exposed in side of cave wall, then yes- I have found those easily enough. I have also found a couple where the path to them was completely exposed and somebody just didn't mine the spawner, perhaps thinking they would come back later or perhaps wanting to sell it later, who knows... My daughter, who also plays, actually found one with a sign up nearby saying....Spawner this way and an arrow... Was that cheating? Lol

The vid you show... Please explain if the path shown is exposed already and the wood blocks are what I am doing. If so, does it make sense that I would stop for a 1.87 meeble piece of coal when I had a 4k meeble spawner in front of me? Not sure if this is the one, but I did stumble on a path right into one the other day that had been exposed but spawner not removed.


I have made numerous statements about the mods asking people to respect you guys and to stop badmouthing you. When none of you are online, it is a free-for-all with language and Somebody needs to help police that. I understand that you have volunteered your time to help make this server better for everyone and appreciate that.

This situation, though, is making me question the competence of mods who would ban me without any proof other than that vid, which shows nothing at all other than someone finding a spawner. Don't you have a program that tells you if someone is usng xray or other banned mods? If not, and these vids are all you are using, no wonder people atpre ticked. If you don't, a hint..... There are programs out there that do just that, and also ones that prevent people from using them in the first place. I would assume that you guys would have such programs in place.

I will be back on this afternoon. I expect to find my account back online and accessible and all my gear in working order. If not, I will be asking for the 80 dollars, not meebles, that I spent for my Elite rank, to be returned to me.

In future, you may want to get some good anti cheating programs and use them, not the judgement of someone watching a 10 second video clip. Banning someone without true cause, causing a loss of real life money, is akin to theft in many parts of the world and can get this server into serious hot water.

I will be looking for my account to be restored this afternoon.
