Ban/Punishment Appeals / Re: Ban Appeal

« on: 30 January 2021, 08:27:55 PM »

I'm not defending what I said in 2015, when I was 12 or 13. I was going through one of those immature phases when I thought that as being edgy and offensive as possible was comedy gold. I deeply apologize for what I said back then and I understand the punishment I received from Noket. While I still think that offensive humor can be funny to a certain extent, the jokes I make now are not nearly as bad. Still, I understand that when I'm online I can take jokes too far, which is something that I should work on. I apologize for what I said to Octo. My intention with the joke was that what I was saying as so stupid and immature he would just laugh it off. I thought that it was a harmless troll, but I didn't know it was something that really upset him. I also misunderstood what constitutes as "harassment" by your standards. On the official rules spread sheet, you state that bullying/harassment is, "Malicious non-consensual intimidation, coercion, or aggression with real-life significance". I don't understand how saying "octo mad gay" is threatening and related to real life.

I still stand by what I said my appeal. I believe that a permanent ban for this is extreme. I never received any official warning that what I was doing could result in a ban. I would understand and accept any other punishment like a mute or a temp ban, but permanently preventing me from playing on the server seems like an unjust punishment. If you were to let me on the server again, I promise to keep to myself and not troll or be toxic in chat. This server is the server that I grew up playing on it would not be ideal for me to lose all the progress I made over the years. Thank you for reading.

Ban/Punishment Appeals / Re: Ban Appeal

I encourage you to go look into the logs because we have only done this to you a few times. This is not something that has been going on for years. I would not consider what you quoted true harassment. I would prefer to talk to another staff member about this because you seem very emotional. All of what you are saying is a stretch. If you actually read the appeal I gave an explanation of the xray warning. Additionally, like I said in the appeal, today is the first time you have ever stressed to me that this upsets you and that you would like me to stop. I understand that what I said actually upset you and I'm sorry for that. I'll take a mute, but a permanent ban seems very excessive. I misunderstood the rules and did not know when I was breaking them. Again, I would prefer to discuss this with another staff member who won't take this personally.

Ban/Punishment Appeals / Ban Appeal

The fact that I got permanently banned is ridiculous. My first "warning" was for xraying, but I thought we went over this. Like 6 years ago some random dude in my village was hacking and he gave me a ton of diamonds because of it. Not knowing that he was hacking, I took the diamonds and left. When I logged back on I was in jail with a warning for hacking. This was ages ago and I explained exactly what I just explained at the time.

The main reason I got banned is because of "harassment". Whenever OctoGamer and I happen to be online at the same time (which is almost never), my friend and I have this little joke where we immaturely say stuff in chat like, "yo octo mad gay" and "yo fuck that octo dude". Octo has said that we have been doing this for years, which is a huge stretch. We have done this like 3 times over that past 2 or years. This is not true harassment. I never intended to seriously inconvenience Octo and I never intended to cause him serious problems. The day I got banned was the first time that Octo has stressed to me that this upsets him and that he is seriously bothered by it. If Octo told me a long time ago that what I consider to be a harmless troll was seriously upsetting him then I would have stopped, but he never did. I don't consider immaturely saying "hey octo you mad gay" to be bullying or harassment. It is just a harmless troll.

Additionally, I was never notified of the warnings that Octo brought up the day I was banned. I don't ever recall formally receiving any warnings for harassment, if I knew there was a chance of me getting banned if I were to continue those actions, I would have stopped. You can not give someone a warning, not even tell them, and then bring up those warnings when deciding to ban them.

I'm not denying that I don't deserve any kind of punishment, and I will definitely tone down what I say in chat if I get unbanned. However, getting permanently banned for saying "yo octo is gay" on a server prides itself on having FREE SPEECH is absolutely absurd. He could temporarily mute me or easily do /ignore. I hold no actual hatred towards anyone on the server and I obviously don't mean anything I say. When I said, "consistency is the key" it was a simple joke/troll. I am more than willing to talk to Octo and work something out.

Thank you,
Joel Embiid
