(Ban Appeal) TrooperKaloski

Minecraft Username: TrooperKaloski

Reason of Ban: I took at loans from people and I was unable to pay them back and then I decided to quit for the time being and led me to getting banned. I also said I wasn't paying them back and I only said that because I new I was going to quit. So at that point I was just ready to duce out.

Rule violated:
Clause 2 - Scamming

• A general definition of a scam in the context of EcoCityCraft is a transaction in which a user pays for goods or services from another user, and does not receive those goods/services in the agreed upon timeframe.
• Failing to uphold your end of the deal is scamming, and is punishable by a ban. Your continuance on the server may rely on you following through with your end of the deal, or refunding what you scammed, solely at the staff’s discretion.

Clause 2.1 - Renaming items

• Users cannot rename items for the purpose of making them misleading (for example, taking a cookie and renaming it “Diamond Sword”, and then attempting to auction or trade it without specifying that the item is a cookie is against the rules)
• If you are auctioning or trading an item that has been renamed, you MUST specify what the item was before it was renamed.
• All renamed items must follow the language and content rules for chat on the server. If it would not be appropriate in global, it is not an appropriate item name.
  • Making or distributing items that are inappropriately named are both punishable to the same extent. If you find or receive an item that has been inappropriately named, please inform a staff member immediately, so that they may investigate and act appropriately.

Clause 2.2 - Attempted Scamming

• Users cannot attempt to scam other users. If enough evidence is provided and the staff believe a scam was intended, this will result in a temporary ban against the offending user.
  • Attempted scamming includes misleading sales or auctions. For example an auction for 'a melon,sword'.

Clause 2.3 - Player Run Lotteries

• Any player run lottery is disallowed and will be treated as attempted scams or actual scamming depending on the situation.
  • This includes any type of raffle or lottery that requires a buy in.

Clause 3 - Contracts

• All contracts signed and approved in the contracts forum serve as proof of agreement, and must be followed through by all parties involved.
• For a full and current list of contract forum rules and regulations, please see our contracts forum sticky post about getting started on contracts.

Clause 4 - User to User EcoDollar-to-Real Life Currency Transfers

• Real life money/items being given for in-game items, EcoDollars, or anything else within EcoCityCraft is not allowed. If an investigation ensues and concludes such a transaction took place, or may take place, all users involved will be severely punished.
• EcoDollars also may not be used for real-life transactions, including real life tangible items and minecraft-related items away from the server. All EcoDollar transactions must be EcoCityCraft related.
• Trading EcoDollars for EcoCityCraft Server Features (ie. people purchasing features from the server on your behalf) is allowed because all parts of the transaction have to do directly with EcoCityCraft. However, these transactions are not encouraged due to the high risk of getting scammed and things going wrong. Please see our supporting the Server wiki article for more information on the risks of these types of transactions before participating in one.

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: This rule basically means to not to borrow money and then accept to pay it back within a certain amount of time with a certain amount of payback. Also in my case you shouldn't take out loans and lotto with it.

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: Well for starters not only is it not fun for me to be banned, but its also not fun for the people who were promised a pay back and now will not even be getting paid back anything due to the fact I am banned. A lesson that I can say from this is don't ever take out loans and if you do don't lotto them because people will 1 ticket you even though you put in a 100 tickets LOL.

I have felt guilty for a long time for not paying back these loans and just quitting on the people that I took the loans out from. I would love to pay these loans back to these people within a reasonable time period. Although I don't know how this really works due to the fact I have never been banned for a reason like this. I also don't remember the people that I took out the loans from besides like 1 person but I took like 4 loans from people and I don't remember some of their names due to the fact that this was a little bit ago.

I look forward to paying these loans back like promised. Thanks For Reading!
