Why we should consider your appeal: Look, I’m not sure I will ever get unbanned. Last week, I logged out of my account and swore never to log in again. I couldn’t stay away. I need Meepcraft. I’m going to keep appealing until I’m given another chance, or until I’m forced out.


Just to say. Every time I have scammed someone I have personally sought them out and deeply apologised, but I just wanna say here too, if you’ve ever been scammed by me in the past I am truly sorry, and beg your forgiveness.


Oftenly I ask myself, what happened, for me to get to the position of which I am? Where did it go wrong? Well, first I’d like to just talk about my history. It started back in early 2014, where I scammed a player whom I am now close friend with of 100k. I got banned for a short time, and when I returned I even still had the money. I thought, hmm, this is easy, why not just keep doing it? At the time I was with my then-family whom I loved very much, as a foster kid in Australia I could safely say it was by far the best family I had ever been with. Well, March rolled around and with stress and the beginning of what looked like depression popped up in my life, on top of that annoying quality you have when you’re 13, I was contiously a nuisance to the server. I built next to towns, I harassed, I trolled, but one day I pay spammed the whole server (which at the time was possible) and as a result crashing it, with Fuzzlr on. That was a lengthy ban, from around mid March to mid May. As I got unbanned, I was back to scamming. Not once, not twice, but three times I used alts to rank scam. With me tugging the staff’s arms, I finally convinced them that I could be let back on the server. At the time of this, my depression was still showing more and more by the day. Well, I was unbanned, and not 5 hours later was I banned once more, this time as the victim of a chargeback. As my longest ban, and for the first time with a ban that wasn’t at all my fault, the chargeback ban lasted for over 3 months. During those 3 months, I was moved from my then foster family to a new one in Brisbane, Australia. Again, even though I missed my 2 brothers, this was another good family. I felt pretty lucky. Well, started by the Meep community was a fundraiser to pay my chargeback fee, and I was unbanned. I enjoyed my time on Meep, I started what would turn out to be an amazing town with a great community, known as Lotus this town would be one of the last on Meep to have an actual active community of it’s own. Sadly though, with my dicing habits I did a 1.6 million dice and didn’t pay. I got, what at the time was an unappealable ban, and raged. I harassed Onis to the point of that being a permanent ban for me alone, as well as posting things on these forums I to this day really regret. I was permanently forums banned, I was permanently banned in-game. For the next 3 months, I tricked the IP check system and played as creeper2812, and managed to convince the staff that I was his ex-brother. Creeper2812 is indeed my ex-brother’s account, however it took about 3 tries to guess his password, and with him playing Steam games and disliking mine craft, he was never aware. Well, 2 months had passed and I felt as if this was the time I came back and apologised. And so I did. I was unbanned on the forums and a few weeks later my in game appeal was accepted. n00bslayer was back. As we moved into November and December, I got amazing news. My mom’s application to have me returned to her in my home country of Denmark had been accepted and I was happy as anything. I thought this would be the start of a new life, and although at the time I was pretty careless in-game, my scamming days were over. Sure, I got petty bans for sexual references, caps, swearing, etc, I truly did not think I would ever scam again. Well, my conditions in real life got pretty rough over christmas and January. I was staying with refugees at a Sydney “international refugee centre” which really, really sucked. Had I not had my iPad’s personal hotspot, which is the only thing I could thank the government for, I wouldn’t have been on Meep at all. The end of January rolled around, I got home, I settled in, things were going good. February came and the depression that had been doubling up inside me really just exploded all at once. Valetine’s day came, and even though I’d barely known her for a month, I had grown very close to this friend, and her suicide was just enough for me to go completely insane. I needed a break from Meep, from school, from family, from my life. I need to quit. I thought, why not do this the good ol’ way eh? And so I did, by scamming around total 2 million meebles. I regretted it even the next day, and tried my best to make up for it. I even convinced someone to pay them all plus 100k each back in return for my unban. Of course it didn’t work, this was what I had brought down on myself, an unappealable ban. I was devastated. The depression in me now was too much to handle, and I cut 5 times down my left arm. My mom noticed something was seriously wrong here, and I got help. Back at Meep, a friend of mine whom really wanted me back bought a citizen account for a million meebles, and gave it to me. I changed the name, I changed my identity. I became the friendly, helpful, the furthest from a scammer one could become person. I became Mockingbae. And boy I did a good job, I got under everyone’s nails as Mocking, got everyone to trust me. Heck, I even discreetly asked some people for their opinions on myself, being n00bslayer. I had the best fun I’d had in a while. We’re a few days into April, and I need to let off steam. I knew I was risking a ban, but there comes a point where even the friendliest of the friendly need to rage a bit. I went on an alt and spammed inappropriate things in shout, having a good laugh at some of the reactions. Of course though, it didn’t end good. In fact, it completely ruined my second identity thing. The only comfort I had was that what I did was language, and unlike scamming, it didn’t hurt anyone. Well, what could I do? It was time, I thought, to with one of several bangs prove to everyone that I am a good kid. And I did. Only 1 person (who I really don’t believe) said they weren’t fooled. People told me that they were glad I had changed. I was glad I had changed.


Why should you trust me back onto Meepcraft?

• The last time I got unbanned from a permanent scamming ban was back in November. That’s a fair while ago. And as explained above, my last scamming ban, in February, wasn’t even for the sake of scamming. I mean, I took out the loans with the intention of not paying them back so that I could quit. I learnt my lesson a long time ago, back in November, and I regret even the thought of quitting in February. So I guess I’ve doubley-learnt my lesson - and there’s no way in hell I’m ever going to quit again, at least not in the form of a ban. What I’m trying to put across here is; I’ve learnt my lesson.

• Mockingbae. A respectful and friendly player doing his best to help everyone. That was me, and is me. Once I’m back in game, that is the attitude I am going to have, which I did over a 2 months time period prove that I am very capable of.

• Look, I’ve said it a million times and I’m going to say it again. I’m sorry. I can’t change the past, but I can change the future, which is what I want to do. I want to be just another Meepcrafter, having fun, making progress, and not breaking any rules…

• The bad aside, I have made some good contributions to Meepcraft in the past. I report people doing the wrong thing, I put forth my ideas as suggestions, I do my best to help out where I can, etc.

• It won’t happen again. I am not going to get banned on Meepcraft again, for any reason. But, to give you guys reassurance I’ll happily agree to something like any more scamming or scamming related bans will result in a ban for acts against the server and me being banned on all aspects of Meepcraft. Although I am never getting banned again, just to make that clear.

I just want to escape life to the magical land of Meepcraft once again. Meepcraft really was an escape for me. Some people use alcohol, some people use drugs. I use Meepcraft. So I’m going to say this:



You will not regret unbanning me.

I don't know you, but I have to say I admire your bravery to post such emotional and personal things and publicly acknowledge your mistakes. We all go through bad times in life and I truly hope things have turned around for you. I wish you the best of luck!

 

Are you able to use teamspeak at all?

 

Yes. I am on teamspeak pretty much all the time

 

Ok, will you be available for a TS chat tonight (Eastern Time Zone) with a few staff?

 

By Eastern do you mean Eastern American? Because that's 4 or 5 hours behind I think, so exactly when do you mean by tonight? I'll be on for another say 2 hours.
