Seems I'm banned.

Not sure why.

Cya.

NOOOOO! NOT THE DRUG DEALER!

Anyone know what happened?

Yes he was spamming chat, and he also would goto Carver's base just to poison us then warp back home. So in laymen's terms he was being a jerk.

From what I get he got a warning for chat spamming, kept going with it, resulting in him getting banned.

Okay, thanks for explaining. Is it permanent?

shouldnt be, people beens unbanned for worse

Apparantly you dont have an active ban.
Try now.

Aaaand I'm banned again, once more I have no idea why.

Really?

I want you to imagine you've spent over a month actively building a base with you and your friends, amassing resources, creating structures, all with nothing more than time, hard work, and cooperation. At the peak of this project I'm going to walk in asking to become a part of it. You offer me a room, my own personal storage, and give me the freedom to do anything with the resources you've collected, asking only that I follow what few rules there are.

On day one I make it my mission to gain access to every locked door in your base that I can find. I know they're locked for a reason, I know you'll be upset that I broke in, but I don't care and do it anyway. Only following a few offenses do you have irrefutable evidence pointing to these infractions, MORE than enough to ban me. Instead you take me aside and politely tell me to stop. Other than a kind reminder not to do what I did, you give me literally zero punishment. I got off easy.

So what do I do? I break into YOUR locked room, like a slap to the face. Clearly upset by this, you kick me out of your base, yet STILL don't ban me. As repayment I go on to run my mouth to everyone else about how you kick people out of your group for stupid reasons.

Eventually I go on to join your friend's group, who's become your greatest competitor and is a long-standing favored member of the server. Having joined your competitor, I make it a personal quest to strike back against your group like it's my right to vengeance for your "mistreatment". Using a nearby base with a decent vantage point, I strike your members any way I can. As soon as I'm noticed and the tides begin to turn against me in any way, I warp away back to the safety of my base, blatantly breaking a very commonly known rule.

People know I'm breaking rules. People are starting to realize I'm of less and less benefit to you and all your friends. You couldn't make it more obvious that my time here is going to end if I don't change my ways soon. With this in mind, I get on your server... and spam chat. I have the audacity to act surprised when you ban me.

But you and your friends are forgiving people. The ban was more to teach a lesson, to let me stop, think, and snap back to reality. It's not you who needs me, but just the opposite. And your friend whose group I've joined seems to really enjoy having me around. In nothing short of an unprecedented act of forgiveness, you unban me. To celebrate my return, I rob your friend's storage, run as far from them as I can and begin constructing my own base using their materials.

I've clearly pissed EVERYONE off, some to the point of where they leave and have yet to return in part due to my actions. I came into the fun, happy environment that you and your friends worked hard to create, and did practically everything in my power to tear it all down, like some selfish newly-adopted stepchild walking into a happy family, laying claim to all their siblings' toys and then throwing a temper tantrum the instant they don't get their way.

You did ALL of these things. Don't get me wrong, we've forgiven people for MUCH worse. The difference is that generally they at least have a clue why they were banned and show some kind of remorse. But instead, after all this, you have the nerve to come on here and state you have NO idea why you were banned? Then thank you. Thank you for showing us exactly what kind of people we don't want coming onto this server.

Sounds like you're a bit upset.
1: I did open locked doors, no argument, and I have no issue with you kicking me from your faction. Those were joking comments about your kicking me, I really don't care, because, as you seem to have forgotten, this is a video game.
2: I assume you're referring to when I tried to see what was inside Carver's fort. I did not try to "strike your members" (I did throw some non-lethal poison potions at Carver and FyreCat when they tried to attack me for trespassing. I was unable and unwilling to actually attack them, since I wasn't taking it seriously and didn't think they were either) and I don't know what nearby base you're talking about.
3: If I was acting so badly, maybe tell me, inform me I'll be banned, make me aware I'm doing something wrong. I did spam chat, not sure why in fact.
4: After I was unbanned, my base had been claimed by your faction, my chests unlocked and presumably empty. In order to prevent that from happening again, I went far away, then took materials from the communal storage at the faction home to build a new base (3 diamonds, some iron for gates, redstone, cobble, maybe other things I've forgotten). I'll assume you think I was robbing it due to a joking comment I made to someone saying I was looting, referring to the damaged condition of the faction base (Holes in walls, missing bits of buildings, etc). Also it was in Westeros, where someone (Carver, I think) said theft was allowed, after I'd asked about general rules that weren't written anywhere.

Now that you have shown all the things I've been doing wrong, I will try to mend my ways. It wasn't my intent to offend.

The amount of bullshit my BS detector is detecting in what you just said is off the scale and way past any bullshit ive seen. By saying you took SOME items from the factions chest at jjs house is fucking ridiculous! all thats left is some flint and glass and a chest full of porkchops arranged in a LOL and the logs say YOU did it.

You sir are a horrible liar. The thing is admitting you did something and then giving everything back may of been able to get you unbanned. But the thing is lying about it when we have proof you did it is completely retarded. Basically you just fucked yourself over, you are now probably never coming back.
