Minecraft Username Jakethyslayer
Date of Ban 18th of February, 2016
Server Survival/Creative
Banned by Wolfy9
Reason for Ban Griefing, but I’m not sure what.
Reason to be Unbanned I think there was a misunderstanding, most likely on my side, i will undo any damage I’ve done and compensate for any loss. Honestly me and Notapplicabe love to play and be part of the community on this server and i’d never want to harm it. I’m sincerely sorry and it won’t happen again.

you have griefed a house in a survival town and destroyed multiple blocks on a road. so can you explain why did you do that ?

(I’m really sorry because I appreciate that I shouldn’t be replying to this appeal since I wasn’t directly involved, but jakethyslayer has lost the password to his forum account. He can’t request a new one because he’s banned from the server. I know him personally, so we’ve been discussing his appeal. I will post only ONCE on this appeal I promise, unless Jake’s account isn’t fixed.)

Jake would like to say that when he accidentally griefed the town, he had only just joined the server so he wasn’t accustomed to the rules and plugins of the server. (This is why his initial appeal wasn’t very detailed, because he wasn’t even sure what he’d been banned for because he didn’t remember this event at first).

As for the road, Jake thought that it was protected (like in Navarone) so he thought he couldn’t break anything, of course this wasn’t true. He went to break things, thinking that his game was lagging when replacing the block, but it turns out the town wasn’t protected and he’d actually broke some of the road. He would have attempted to fix it, but the sea lanterns and prismarine blocks he broke did not drop enough shards for him to replace them. He was too new to the server to have obtained a silk touch pickaxe, therefore unable to replace the blocks he broke.

Jake says he broke into a house because he was curious and just wanted to explore the town because he was new to the server. When a trusted user told him to fix it, he did so.

At the time, Jake didn’t think much of the grief because he didn’t care about the server very much, so he thought it wouldn’t matter and would be fixed by someone else without consequence. Jake didn’t know about logblock or how severely griefing is dealt with, because he had only just joined the server.

However, after playing on the server with me for a while he grew to love the server and the unique customs that makes PCB so special to both Jake and I. He is very sorry for griefing the town, and it will not happen again. He just wants to play on the server again because he loves the friendly community and the freedom to play vanilla survival, or build peacefully in creative.

If anything like this does happen again, Jake will be sure to inform staff of the accident and undo any changes he made. Again, he is extremely sorry for the grief and disrespect towards this wonderful server - he would really like a second chance to prove himself trustworthy because he didn’t grief anything else between this first incident and the date of his ban. He’d befriended a lot of players and would really like a chance to make PCB an even better community to proudly be a part of.

(Again, sorry for posting on this appeal when I’m not involved. I’m just providing a platform for Jake to be heard because he can’t access the forums.)

One thing I will say, and I’m sure this will be pointed out, but maybe you should have read the rules before playing. “Not realizing grief was taken seriously” isn’t really a good answer because we stress that online and in-game.

First of all you shouldn’t be appealing for him ,he should appeal for himself .so please tell him to create an account since he can’t access the old one . And from a member who have been here for almost 3 months ,he should know the rules very well . he should take griefing very seriously and not break people’s stuff . however since this was his first time and he didnt create a lot of damage . i am kinda feeling nice today ,so i am willing to give him a chance if he puts an effort and an explanation to be unbanned

[size=14pt]you have 48 hours to respond

#7

Did you not read this wolfy?

#8

he is just banned from the server not the website .he can always create another account . and once he gets unbanned he can ask a sop to change his old account password

#9

and why in gods name would we go through that trouble if someone can copy and paste his response in?

Making extra work that is not needed is stupid.

(I am very sorry to be posting again. I hoped that this wouldn’t have been necessary, but as Jake’s original account won’t be fixed until he’s unbanned, I’m going to have to directly quote him instead. I kindly took your advice Wolfy, and told Jake to create another account. Unfortunately, he cannot get it verified in order to post on the forums. Him and I both agree with Shadowmeire628 that creating another account is an awful lot of trouble - especially as this alt account will most certainly not be used again since his ban will not be repeated.)

“Apparently, some people misunderstood what was being said and i’m getting very upset. the incident took place while i had just registered not when i was banned, months later. i have caused no other issues since, i have read and respected the rules now, but back then the only servers i had played where a “no rules” pvp server, this one was a whole new experience.
On a side note, i feel that all this trouble for minor grief from a newly spawned who’s had no other issues is unfair. the reason i wish to keep being in this server is how much i used to love playing with my girlfriend and the great people i’ve met, so, please undo the ban so that i may have that back.” -Jakethyslayer

(May I just add in his defence that I encouraged Jake to join the server in haste, therefore the severity of griefing may not have been made clear to him on the first day the griefing incident took place. He has been playing on the server for months now - he soon learnt about the zero tolerance on griefing. He knows about all the rules now, and he hasn’t griefed since that first time he joined. I hope to have this all back to normal as soon as possible; we just want to play Minecraft together! :slight_smile: )

(P.S. In case you have any doubts, I’ve attached a screenshot to prove this is indeed a direct quote.)

Ok, I will give you a chance since you seem to be eager to play and you really didn’t do much damage. But keep in mind that this doesn’t happen again ,and be careful.

Unbanned.
