[Ban Appeal] 5mario

In Game Name:

MushroomMario (formerly known as 5mario)​

Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:

Yes. 5mario. I filed a name change appeal.​

Which of ECC's services are you banned on:

The main.​

Reason of Ban:

For bribing a user to make extremely inappropriate jokes.​

Rule Violated:

Clause 2 - Vulgarity
Inappropriate and vulgar language is not allowed. This includes anything put on signs, said in chat, written in books, renamed to on items (see Section 3 Clause 2.1), spelt out in blocks (see Section 2, Clause 2.1), or any other way of communicating. Occasional mild to moderate vulgarities that are not directed at anyone (such as "slip-ups" or saying them in the incorrect chat by accident), self-censorship of a swear word or abbreviations that may imply a swear word (eg. WTF?) are allowed unless it is directed at another user.

Repeated or excessive swearing, and especially vulgar language directed at anyone, is not tolerated under any circumstance.
Racist language or prejudicial language of any sort falls under the vulgarity rule, and is considered a very serious offence which may result in a ban with no warnings given.

Clause 3 - Inappropriate/Touchy Subjects and Discussions
EcoCityCraft is a server community consisting of many age groups, religious groups, and political backgrounds. As such, there are many touchy subjects that we do not allow in our public channels in order to keep the peace and prevent arguments and flame wars from occurring.
All chat must be kept appropriate and clean at all times. There is to be no discussion of anything deemed inappropriate for a workplace, including, but not limited to, sexuality, excessive violence, alcohol/drugs and inappropriate or dark humor.
This rule extends into subjects about illegal substances or actions, including drugs.
Politics, religion and suicide are common “touchy subjects”, however they are not the only ones. Should a staff member ask you to change a subject they feel is touchy and/or is causing the direction of chat to deviate towards an argument or flame war, you must drop the subject immediately.
Discussing a banned user's ban reason and why they were banned is not allowed, however simply mentioning a banned player's username is allowed.
Accusing other players of breaking any of the Server Rules is not allowed. Use the proper means to address these concerns such as speaking to a staff member or filing a complaint.

Probably either or both of those two, I'm not sure.​

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:

Vulgarity is swearing. That was pretty simple. Can't get into more detail on this without getting a warning, though. Vulgarity can also mean racial slurs or prejudice against anybody.

Inappropriate/Touchy Subjects and Discussions are saying things in any chat that might be deemed inappropriate or too vulgar for places such as your job, an interview, etc. Touchy Subjects and Discussions would be things that might start some kind of heated debate, make some players, angry, or something controversion, like politics.​

Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:

I tell you, I had no idea I was going to get banned for this! I thought that we were just having fun at the moment, but it is only know that I realize that my actions were disgusting. Not even doing the work myself, but paying someone else to do it is a heinous act that certainly must be punished. I do understand why I was banned, and since it has been about a year, I think that I have learned my lesson.

What I did was not funny and I should hope that I will never do it again. I also want to apologize to the person I bribed, for he would probably do anything for money and doesn't understand the rules to well.​
