Minecraft Username: bobbysix6 Reason: scamming skeethero123 out of a giftcard Counter-Reason: Yes i scammed him. I understand it was the wrong thing to do. I have been banned for some time now and i realized what a stupid thing i did. if i am unbanned i will buy him the giftcard i owe him. since ive been banned for a few months now, ive read the rules. i sincerely apoligize to you skeethero123 and andrewkm because thats 10 dollars less going to the server. I have learned my lesson and i would understand if no one wanted to buy a donation feature from me again. It was a very stupid choice i made and i leanred my lesson. i hope i could be unbanned so i can play on the server Evidence: Clause II: 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 return in the agreed upon timeframe. It is very difficult for us to be positive that a scam has occurred. Moderators do not have access to server logs, and thus it is the responsibility of the user to gain evidence of a scam in the form of screenshots of transaction agreements and payments in order for scams to be investigated by posting a formal complaint. For help with knowing what the staff need in screenshot evidence, there is a forum thread with a good basic outline. It is solely the responsibility of the user to trust or distrust the other user(s) in a transaction situation, and also to solve any issues that may arise. Always remember: If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is, and use caution when proceeding. EcoCityCraft staff are not responsible for and will not refund anything lost in a scam transaction, though some staff will be happy to attempt discussions to retrieve your lost possessions on your behalf. This policy applies to all forms of transactions, including loans and item rentals.
Shotgunboy0130 bobbysix6 Please don't post unnecessary comments in ban appeals. Those sort of things can be discussed elsewhere.
The fact that the user you scammed has been offline for a while does not, in any way, take away from what you did. It's entirely possible that by scamming him you cost ECC a good member of the community and everything they would have brought to it. Nothing excuses what you did. You're no stranger to our complaints section, or to our appeal process. I can only hope, after 3 months away, that you've grown up a little, and are willing to put a better foot forward. I will unban you now. If @skeethero123 returns within the next month, you will be required to repay him, either in ECD or in the donation he paid you for.
