Absolutely

Yes i was thinking of someone else. But i did remember your pic from selfies.

This however is not really a discussion thread. More a declaration that we will not put up with their nonsense

I remember you, and your girlfriend at the time.

I see you have only been on the server very briefly. So therefore your comments are based mainly on the forum.

We have had a number of posts whose main intention was entirely to stir up trouble for a particular player from people that haven't played on the server for years.

Minecraft is and should be a fun game.

Sadly a number of players don't seem to get that, and have been making life difficult for staff and miserable for other players. As a result of their behavior we have had many regular players go to another server. These players aren't bored with minecraft, they are fed up with the toxic atmosphere that these players have brought to our server.

As a result we have banned a number of players on both the server and discord to give us a break.

They have been making unpleasant references about others under the guise of a joke. Deliberately baiting a player to go over the line to get banned. Harassing staff over recent rule changes. Generally disrespecting staff. Making targeted posts in the forum. Whining to staff and reporting each other.

It really isn't that hard to Be respectful to other players and Practice good chat etiquette

Trying to keep the peace has been hugely stressful for Crafty and the staff. Running this server and moderating it fairly is actually far from easy. We do our best and all the staff give their time and effort for free for the good of everyone.

This behavior has to stop and those of you banned need to either learn to play nicely in this virtual sandbox or go find somewhere else to play.

Just because we allow griefing and raiding does not mean you can come on this server and behave like rude children. Nor does PVP mean you have a god given right to jump in on whoever is in the arenas.

Litematica is allowed and pie ray is not. Get over it.

It is a huge privilege for me to be an admin on this server - I love meeting people from all over the world. I don't enjoy banning anyone. My chat door is always open.

If you are prepared to put your animosity to other players aside and come back then that's great and I look forward to seeing you back on the server.

Okay,

Thank you

To be honest i was wondering whether this actually was much better than your first try. And now i see you have been rude in discord.

Ban appeals need three elements. Acknowledgement, apology and assurance of no repeats. One of those is missing!

Try again.

Tez

Try again. Links aren't allowed in server chat for good reason.

Your ban appeal needs to recognize that.

Regards Tez

Thank you for this appeal, recognizing the issues that triggered your ban.

As your account has been banned for 2 weeks already, I will pardon the account now.

Tez

Thank you for your apology.

I would say that in the past your assurances of better behavior in the future have not exactly happened.

Given that you have had numerous warnings now, I have to admit to being rather skeptical.

There is a fine line between banter and bullying/harassment.

Your last ban was 3 days. This will be a week.

Should there be any further harassment of other players or staff then a permanent ban will be on the cards.

With regards to the lava casting, I have no big problem with this. Within reason it is allowed and over the years I have removed many. However you were told not to repeat this near 0 0 by CC and then did so to the exact line of the always loaded chunks. I have no doubt this was a deliberate wind up and as such was disrespectful. I went through the logs before I came on and saw the chat about this. CC put up with this with enormous patience. It is time to move on on this subject.

With regard to the tping out issue, can I make it very clear to you and others, it was a no issue. Just because PVP and griefing is allowed it does not give you a god-given right to go into any arena and attack whoever is there. Senior staff may evict anyone not respecting that the arena may be in use. As far as the JackyBoy thing is concerned, this is more about you and others continuing grievance with a specific player. Get over it!

I shall look forward to seeing much better behavior from you in future.

I would just say that don't take any pleasure in banning people. I don't do this job for any other reason than to make it possible for people, young and old, from all over the world to have fun on the server.

This is better than last appeal!

I get that you don't get on with another person on the server. And I promise you I have no patience with either bullying or racism, but yet again I say to you, any of the server platforms is not the place for this.

Sometimes whilst something may be a joke, context is everything. In this case the context was harassing a member of staff over something you disagreed with.

I have just been watching chat and you have shown on your alt you are quite capable of having a joke without going too far. Lets see that continue.

As you have apologized and made assurances that we will not see this in the future, I will pardon your main account. Given the nature of the offense, and that you have been warned by various means, your ban will last 3 days from now.

I would just say that don't take any pleasure in banning people, and have done a lot in the past to try and keep you and a certain other player from being banned on the server. I am disappointed that I have had to go this far to get the message through. I don't do this job for any other reason than to make it possible for people, young and old, from all over the world to have fun on the server.
