Minecraft Username: Ozzyblack21 Reason of Ban: Vulgar Language Via Book 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 (ie. 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, punishment of which may not warrant a warning before being given a ban, Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: No use of inappropriate language in any word, shape or fothatEspecially not towards another player! Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: I think that I should be unbanned because during this period I was using inappropriate language in a unauthorized manner and I shouldn't of used that kind of language in the first place. Throughout the past year since I was last active I have learned my lesson and to whomever I hurt with my words I apologize and hope you accept my sincere apologies. To a new month and hopefully a great year!
Hi Ozzy, I'm glad to see you've appealed. We have a very low tolerance level for vulgarity in chat. We're a family friendly server, so we expect and enforce such language to be absolutely prohibited from chat at all times. Even more so, to be kept out of books or any other sort of text chatting within the game. Seeing as you've had some time off and seem to have a well understanding of our rules regarding this matter I will be reducing your ban to a 5 hour temp. During this time, I'd like you to review the server rules which can be found here. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you in game. Locked -- User issued 5 hour temp Have any questions on how I handled this appeal? Feel free to forum message me for discussion.
