Minecraft Username: StoneIronZ Reason of Ban: "attempted scamming" Rule violated: 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'. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: It means that attempting to profit off of someone for no reason is against the rules. Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: First of all, I'm very sorry to khrones. I did not mean to scam him at all. After seeing his screenshot and me being inactive for about a week, i completely forgot that he did pay me through that sign. The reason I thought he did not pay was because the original payment sign, located in my small vault (http://imgur.com/zctMeve,aisvIxX,gInVsoO,6XDLvaw,8hqJuOO,KoF4HqM,ZilTgHT#6 Last photo), is still not filled with money. I completely forgot to take it down when i received the 150k payment from khrones in the sign at Thera. This is a large misunderstanding and I apologize to Khrones for this. Also, I would have appreciated being able to give my side of the story before @Exilenela blatantly banned me. Although I made the mistake in the first place, I am a very trustworthy and user to the entire community. Im VERY disappointed that the staff team did not give me at least a few hours to voice my side of the story.
@StoneIronZ So you are trying to say that you "Forgot" about the trade sign in Thera when you only took it down 6 days ago and he paid it there just an hour after you created the sign weeks ago?
Yes, I forgot that he paid the money, as I've been inactive for the past week. I then logged on today, saw the sign in my vault that he hadnt paid, and figured he must not have paid the money.
You keep saying that you have been offline a week but you have only been gone for 3 days. You only destroyed the trade sign on the 6th. I have log proof that Khrones paid the money on the 25th as the screenshot shows. As for why Exilenela banned you, it was the decision of quite a few staff members that those actions be taken. You posted a complaint on a user that you clearly knew had repaid you. You had removed the sign days before the complaint was filed and now you are saying that you have been inactive for a week? You have only been gone for 3 days. You were banned because of the accusations you were making towards Khrones, we do not tolerate users who appear to be attempting to manipulate the staff to forcing a user to repay them for something they had already repaid or in attempting to get someone falsely banned. Now for you appeal. Since in absolutely no way do I believe that you 'forgot' that khrones paid you the $150k at all I will be giving you a 5 day temp ban. Not only for accusing Khrones of not repaying you but also for lying in your appeal as you have not been anywhere near as inactive as you claim. Falsely accusing users of scamming will never be tolerated on ECC. User issued 5 day temp ban.
