Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?:
No

Which of ECC's services are you banned on? [Main Server]:

Reason of Ban:
Repeated spamming through various means

Rule violated:
Clause 1 - General Chat Rules

All chat is to go into the appropriate channel at all times. Any user who is consistently not using the correct channel, especially in a way that may disturb those attempting to use certain channels, may be removed from the channel and/or punished. For information about channels and chat commands, please visit our Server Commands page.

Clause 1.1 - CAPS and Spam

• Bypassing our CAPS filter and/or typing in all caps is not allowed.
• Spam is not allowed. Repetitive words, letters, symbols that aren’t used in their correct context, or many messages sent quickly are considered spam.

Clause 1.3 - Shouts and Lottery
For Shouts:

• No advertisement, touchy subject/discussions, special characters not used in their correct context, and languages other than English.
• Only numbers, letters, basic symbols found on a standard keyboard may be used.
• Shouts with the intent of causing other users to spam or spam another user in any way, such as requesting others to private message them, are not allowed.
• Shouts disguised to look like server messages, private messages, balance payments, etc. are not allowed.
• All types of chat formatting are available for shouts. CAPS, in-game advertisements, colors, and font styles (Italics, bold, underline, strikes) are completely allowed.

For both Shouts and Lottery:

• Spamming either shouts or lottery is allowed to an extent. Excessive use of either command which results in chat being hard to read may result in a warning or a kick from the Staff.

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

The rules clearly state spamming is not allowed and people who spam will get banned

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned:

I feel that i should be unbanned because I have truly been trying to cut down on the spamming, however this last weekend and past few days I have "binge spammed" which resulted in my ban. I dont try to make promises that I know I cannot keep so I won't be appealing on the behalf of "i will never spam again" because chances there may be one or two slip ups in the future. However I will try to refrain myself from this behavior and will do the best I can in not spamming. An example of how I would be able to cut down from this spamming is possibly to simply log off which has been hard for me to do in the past but I am getting better at simply logging off. Again there is no excuse for the excessive amount of warnings that I have recived and I cant ponder why i would not stop spamming until it was too late.

Also I need to learn how to type in full sentences. Ingame all I do is 1-3 words Per line and that needs to stop. I will try to type everything on one line thus reducing the amount of spam that I am creating. One more thing that will conclude my appeal. I would like to apologize too two users specifically @BackToThePast and @emongolab for having to put up with me /deal with me and my spamming. I will truly try not to spam anymore and I am sorry that after all the warnings you both have given me the only way for me to stop was a ban.


Best regards

@jmichael214 I am happy that you filed the complaint which got me banned as I truly needed a punishment for my behavior over the past basically 6 months.
