    We apologize for not being more transparent regarding the ban, and allowing assumptions to be made regarding the reasons for him being unbanned.

    It was our fault that we previously articulated to Hornemans that it was OK to engage in the activity that caused him to be banned. We did ultimately ban him for the same activity later on, seeing as it was contrary to our interpretation of the rules. However, we reviewed our previous correspondences with Hornemans that showed we had previously greenlighted this behavior. Therefore it was necessary to re-review the ban. We have informed Hornemans our new stance on the issue and interpretation of the rule so that he does not violate it again, and additionally clarified this in the Server Rules to be more clear in future situations.

    I will be extending the ban to a temporary ban to provide assurance that the proper discipline was applied. In the meantime, we are having internal discussions about whether we will be taxing or eliminating his account balance.

    I disagree, just standing by and letting staff get away with abuse is a slippery slope to having a corrupt staff. I’ve played on enough small servers to know how easy it is for people to get power hungry and inflate their ego, I’ve even played a part in a corrupt staff and it is super easy to get carried away with it.

    Even if this thread does nothing at all its still better than just letting it slide, at what point is staff abusing too much if this isn’t. I feel like any amount of abuse is too much.

    Possibly suffers from pathological lying, please be easy on him. Much like with the boombox appeals if you repeatedly state the same statement you can hope that others believe you, despite all evidence against you and clear rule violation written in the rules you manage to convince people. My hat is off to you because what you've done is remarkable, welcome back Hornemans.

    Hornemans has been unbanned. After numerous violations regarding alt abuse, he has miraculously returned. All of the staff have refused to talk about the situation. Recognize that his balance has not been wiped and that he has injected more meebles in to the economy than Viperfan17 who remains banned for another form of cheating meebles in to the economy.

    Why has he been unbanned? The people demand an explanation.

    Staff have never, and will never, treated everyone the same. Be it finances, nudes, or friendships, some people will always be buying a step ahead of the bans game. This is neither new nor temporary. Until some changes are made and staff stops hiding everything, the server will continue downhill as it has been these last few weeks.

    Hornemans - Ban Appeal
    • You may not transfer Meebles between accounts through any means; including town banks, gold blocks, and any other means.
    • You may not gain any kind of advantage over other players through the use of alternate accounts.
    sell to yourself = transfer meeb between accounts
    obtain a ludicrous amount of vote keys = gain of advantage over other players
    :pompous:

    Can I just say its concerning when you would update rules to unban a player, with little to no explanation

    like I've never called staff straight up corrupt before but this is crazy
    What exactly happened?
    (to clarify I'm not 100% on what happened but Im mainly just curious as to what *did* happen)

    I have seen several instances where a player was OK'd to use duping methods, glitching methods, AFK machines, and others, to gain an advantage, and when they were banned they were not shown such mercy.

    Why is this situation different, when it has been well known for literally years that alt abuse is not ok?
    Edit: Voting and using alts to vote has also been known for years, by myself at least, and I remember having several discussions about it before, during, and after my being staff and all but one time I was told to not vote using an alt.

    I have to say that I believe that the ban (and unban) was handled incorrectly. Rules were pretty much re-adapted to create a bypass for a particular player, and that’s not insider information: that’s clear to everyone. The rule always existed and I feel as if the reasons that have been provided don’t tell the full story. I am not blaming anyone in particular because I don’t know who is truly in control of this decision, and everyone makes mistakes. What’s important is that mistakes are fixed.
    I’m not really afraid of how my opinion will affect my position on the staff team, because what is most important to me is that the rules are followed and players are treated equally, not my helper position, and this did not happen here.

    So you change a rule so you can unban a player just because he donates a lot of money? That’s hella corrupt homie.

    But he did :eek: lol.
    He’s unbanned because he spends more money on this server than fizzle does himself.

    Server isn’t going down a good road guys.
