Minecraft Username: Jgrockstar73 Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?: No Reason of Ban: There was a big lottery and everyone was buying tickets and the only things in the chat were lottery tickets and I put a few smiley faces in the chat. Because everyone was buying tickets, I felt like putting a few smiley faces in the chat wouldn't do any harm. The staff online at the time must have thought they were <Mod-Edit> because those are the only things that looked even closely similar to the faces I put in the chat. I fully regret what I have done and I will never do anything remotely similar to that again because I hate not being able to come on ECC. Thank you Rule violated: Clause 3 - Inappropriate chatting and trolling Harassment constitutes as any form of action (chat or game play wise) that makes another player feel threatened or otherwise ruins their game play. Griefing in the wild does not constitute harassment. Harassment in the wild is strictly chat/command based. This includes, but is not limited to; blackmail, bullying or any other form of harassment that occurs through our chat system. Attempting to kill other players in any non-PvP zone also constitutes as harassment, and succeeding in killing other players in non-PvP areas is a very severe offence that will result in a ban. Harassment is absolutely inexcusable on EcoCityCraft. If you are engaging in this behavior expect to be removed from the server with little to no warning. Disrespecting staff falls under this rule - They are players too. Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: The rules mean that I can not put anything inappropriate in the chat and I can not troll because doing that can result in a ban from the server and it can be found offensive to some people. Please explain why you think you should be unbanned: I think I should be unbanned from ECC because I truly regret what I did and I have previously been a loyal ECC player. I understand what I did and think that it was wrong of me and don't think that it was necessary to even type it in the first place. Thank you.
Hi jgrock, Thank you for appealing. Before I come to consider this appeal, could you please attempt to log in and copy and paste the ban reason given on your minecraft client for the question asking for your 'Reason of Ban.' Also, you can copy and paste what you have written in the Reason of Ban question and move it under to the reason you feel you should be unbanned question. Once you have done so, I can continue to handling the appeal.

Thank you for fixing that up. Seeing as you seem to be remorseful of your actions, and have a good plan on how you can avoid such futures I will be reducing your ban to a temp. Please know if this happens again, the punishment will be no where as lenient as this. Please take this as a learning opportunity and don't let it happen again. Furthermore during the extent of your temp, I'd like you to review the server rules which can be found here. More specifically glance at the rules in which you broke. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you in game soon. Welcome back to ECC. Locked -- User issued 5 hour temp Have any questions regarding how I handled this appeal? Feel free to forum message me for discussion.
