Accepted Best Posts in Thread: Ban Appeal 2.0

IGN (In-Game Name): Telinus/Oscenth
Date/Time: 5/1/2014
Reason: Pvp hacks
Ban Length: Perm
Staff Member: Cooleysworld
Why we should consider your appeal: I believe that recent staff members have said that the first offense is 5d and I would like this to be shortened if possible, as it was my first "offense."

 

That makes no logical sense... "... because you were banned before the rules changed, doesn't mean you must be unbanned."

Anyway, I never used a macro. There are buttons on the side of my mouse that I can program (installed feature) which I can use to also left click with my thumb.

I was under the impression you would be unbanned as soon as you told the truth.
I don't see how thats changed.

 

Thank you for being honest. Accepted!

 

Even so, I believe someone said something along the lines of: "People should have learned what they've done in 5 days."

 

I believe you must have misinterpreted what you heard. Kitpvp hacking bans are now 5 days, other hacking, such as pvp hacks in the terrarium, or use of macros, are 7 days or perm. Just because you were banned before the rules changed, doesnt mean you must be unbanned. I hope this clears up any confusion you had.

Thats all I have to say on the matter, and as Ugly already stated, this will be left to a higher up to make the final decision.

Edited to clear up more things:
Saying "because you were banned before the rules change, doesn't mean you must be unbanned" does in fact make sense, but I think you either misread it, or misunderstood it. So to hopefully make things less confusing, I'll paraphrase.

Regardless of when you broke the rule, it does not guarantee you an unban. You could have been banned before, or after the changing in rules, but it does not make a difference. You hacked, that cannot be changed. You received punishment based on your actions.

Also, I was never directing at you that you were using a macro, I was simply using that as an example of a bannable offence.

I did not mean in any way, shape, or form that you had used one. I'm sorry if it came across as confusing and if you have any other questions about things that confuse you, I would be more than happy to take it up with you.

 

I would like to point out, new rules and regulations changes do not affect previous bans. However, this is a Supermod+ decision to make.

 

It seems the word "hacking" in regards to Minecraft has become almost interchangeable with cheating. It is nice to know that you have come clean and admitted that you were indeed cheating though.

It is good to know that my previously denying your ban appeal was just, but let's hope for a better resolution to this issue this time.
