davidjjdj Ban Appeal

I was banned from project city build for griefing, which i was but not on purpose. Me and my thought to be friend Beechf33a were talking on teamspeak, when he said he had something fun to do because we were both bored. he proceeded to instruct me on how to install a “mod” which turned out to be a custom minecraft.jar for griefing. he said then we needed a server i had been playing on project citybuilds vanilla server, then i saw the main server was updated to 1.3 so we joined it we went to the creative world. then he had me press the u key and type bomber toggle. then we went flying around i noticed that we were breaking block and i thought it was him, so i started typing to any admins on the server about to report him when thezestylemon banned him i told him that i wasnt griefing which i didnt think i was until i hit the ground and immediatley started to break blocks… then i got banned. i continued to play on the vanilla server making my house with josh and nerfball and then whubilly and shadowmeire came onto the server, i explained this all to them and they said i could post a ban appeal on the site. so 2 days later i decied to come here and post it. Know i know what i was doing was wrong i know i deserved a ban but i didnt know i was griefing until i hit the ground then whubilly told me i had destroyed something like 2000 blocks. this would be like a second chance since then i deleted the custom jar and force updated minecraft. This is my ban appeal and i hope to build with you guys someday. Thank you for reading and please consider me for being pardoned. Thank you! The ban appeal page was broken so i posted directly on the forums.

Sorry i forgot to provide the following information

Minecraft Username: davidjjdj

Approximite date of Ban: 8/15/2012 or 8/14/2012

Who banned me: thezestylemon

Reason For Ban: Griefing

Reason for unban: because im too stupid to relize that i was griefing it was an accident.

Server: Survival & Creative

TheZestyLemon has a point, it is not possible to not notice 10,000 blocks being changed. Unless, you were looking at the sky while you were flying, but still most people look down see were they are flying. Also why didn’t you ask your friend what the “mod” is?
But let’s look at it from your point of view, let’s say your friend didn’t tell you what the “mod” is and you trusted him. When he said let’s go on a server, do you not ask your self why do we need a server for this “mod” or why doesn’t he tell me what the “mod” is? Also the rules say no hacks and if you are installing a mod that needs a server for it to work, that means it is a hack.

So davidjjdj your reason for a ban appeal is a little invalids sorry.

This appeal is false. I had caught him greifing myths house with his friend, which isn’t the same person hes talking about up there. This appeal is invalid, and even so, with the amount of griefing her did, im going to say no.

Hard on the survival server that was not me griefing i was the one in my house that i showed you… i just started playing minecraft i did not know what a client was. i looked up bomber and i found something called nuker… thats what he had me type in it was nuker toggle then nuker mode creative then we went flying around i stayed by beech the whole time i didnt know i was the one breaking the blocks until after… in the video i found about the client that we used which was called nodus it showed that they didnt even need to break any blocks it would automaticlly do it. I know what i did was bad and i understand that i would help rebuild what i did. i have since deleted the client, and i am also asking for a second chance because i did grief im not denying griefing i did not know i was griefing till i hit the ground and broke blocks under my feet.

explaining more on hards point he caught 2 people in the survival vanilla server griefing and i need to say hard24 ill show you my house in the vanilla one so you remember…

If you look at the ban list you will see me and beechf33a pretty much the same time being banned…

oh and hard member you were going to ask about the map backup for me thats me im not the griefer in the survival server

EDIT by: Brodur Fixed quadruple post =.=

I understand that ignorance isn’t tolerated, I get that, but he seemed genuinely sorry on vanilla, and we have a connection on Skype and he is worried about it.

I personally believe in second chances, he has been playing legitly as can be on Vanilla as he said with Nerf and his friends. With that being said, he could have done research on it, but if it was a spur of the moment thing, perhaps he didn’t think to check what it was? As far as finding a server goes, they could have been on other ends of the planet planning on playing at the same time, I’m pretty sure that a server would be the only way to play at the same time, and also, if that wasn’t the case, how many of you actually remember that Single Player has a LAN option? I know that I personally do not.

Just trying the Devils Advocate card here, trying to see what I get.

Oh! Sorry, I had this player confused with two others. I’ve noticed his builds on vanilla. From what I see, it seems hes legit. On vanilla that is. I retract my vote now

If you guys think he’s legit then I say unban. I know I’ve said this before, and in my own mind it seems wrong, but what’s the most they can do? Comeback and greif again, so we just rollback? Sure it’s extra work, but it also helps to keep genuine players. I think second chances are great, considering I had one.

Oh and quadruple posting isn’t great, but he’s new and helps explain his case I suppose. Just in the future if you are unbanned, don’t double, triple, or quadruple post, please.

Agreed. Rollback plugins aren’t that hard to use.

well, I guess you are right sipjca but we will have to keep a good eye on him. And we cant always watch him so that is a little problem.

I would just like to point out that Beech griefed within the region of 16000 blocks and david griefed about 3900 blocks, it was not 10,000. I can see that you are sorry and you did explain this and to be honest when we were talking about this on vanilla I expected this ban appeal to a lot more worse than it is. I think you deserve to be unbanned, but you should be very careful on the server. One more chance.

Thank you all for believing in giving me a second change and sorry about the quadruple posting… i had left things out i wanted to say.

Yeah, you could have just edited your own post to add in those changes. Most people like to label changes in the post like:

Edit: This is my new post text!

Anyway, I suppose a second chance is fine. I am glad you wrote such a detailed ban appeal. I think it shows you really put some effort into it.

Actually we can always “watch” him. Staff should know how to check logblock even if a player is offline, then they can teleport to where the blocks that interest them were.

Would like the hear from Lemon before we actually unban, just incase we are missing something.

tbh, even though all of us are swayed, i believe that in the end, it is still lemons call on this one, so yeah i would really like to hear what he says

so is this a yes because you want to or a yes cause of peer pressure?

LOL lemon. I know how you feel. I don’t actually think this decision is in Lemon’s hands anymore. We do need his final say on how he feels about this and anything else that he might add to the decision.

What I am saying, is if a majority of staff has put in their opinion in favor of an unban, then the original banner can be overruled. It would be unfair to have one person’s vote ban someone just because they discovered the griefing. They do, on the other hand, have the opposite power of a veto. They can unban that person at will.
