I'm gonna bring in my own unpopular opinion before this thread gets closed.
I spend a lot of time here in the forum while being in my afk-grinder.
I've read a large amount of ban appeals. I have the feeling that server staff wouldn't even unban their own admins when caught for hacking or whatever. What I want to say is that I think that staff sticks very strictly to their own rules. I have also seen that Chat violators get unbanned in the most cases, as long as they learned their lesson and really apologize.
I am not staff, It is not my job to jugde. But I think that he deserves a second chance, just like the other chat violators did.
Same rules for everybody.

@SnowProper I agree with both you and @Beedobi that this server shouldn't (in my own words) dissolve into a madness where kids like me could very well get picked on what they identify as or believe in. I may not get along with a few people on this server but I love every single one of CraftyMynes. I love this server. I get so invested into reading every single forum thread because I love to hear people's thoughts on whatever's going on in Minecraft or any other form of social media or heck, quite possibly the world. I've grown very fond of some people on here who I call my best friends. This is a server I plan to stay on, this is a server I've fallen in love with. Thank you @CraftyMyner for bringing people together on a server, keep up the amazing work. You ALL are BEAUTIFUL people! <3

i agree with every single point you made in this post, i'm really glad you said something about this. thank you.

It is not as much as a chat violation as it was directed hate speech. Spamming the n word directed at no one is 10000000 times less offensive.

^^^^
It is one thing for someone to repeatedly spam horrible and offensive words. It is a COMPLETELY different thing to go out of your way to make cruel jokes about somebodies life style and comfort.

and here's why:

Spamming words is something that we see often in the server. We ask them to stop, they do not, and they are banned for such. But we know that they are merely trolls going out of their way to try and mess with the players. They know what they are doing is wrong, and yet they continue. The go on despite the multiple warnings they are given simply because they can. Yes, they mean to cause harm. But we know that is what they are here for. They did not come to play, they came to troll.

What snow was referring to, was an entirely different subject. The person banned was a daily player and had been there for a pretty long time. He KNEW the rules. He came to play and enjoy his time on Craftymynes. He went after another player, who was also a daily, and he was asked to stop. He continued and was TOLD to stop. He continued to say harmful things despite knowing the server rules and being warned multiple times. He felt as though HE was the victim in this circumstance. In fact he made a forum post about how he was being "victimized".

There is a very noticeable line between the two scenarios.

Someone spammed the n word?

@Captain_Mitchell Cell was just making up a scenario
but of course, we do get people spamming those words more often than not. She was not referring to anybody in particular

Oh sorry didnt know.

Holy thread necro, Batman. I thought discussion on this subject was locked?

It is, as of now.. XD hahahaha how'd this thread even come back
