Ban Appeal- Leeroythezombie

[Leeroy]

IGN: Leeroythezombie
Reason you got banned: Rule 11, "Griefing" the road.
Why do you deserve a second chance?: Firstly, I destroyed about four blocks of the road, while being attacked by the vikings, in an attempt to slow them down. When I announced it in nation chat, others approved. I thought this would be fine, as four blocks could have easily been repaired after the attack, and I didn't think it would be so much of a big deal. Secondly, If my destroying of four blocks got me banned, Why are people such as NLewis and Pwolbart not banned? They placed several TNT traps along the road in many locations, with 1-3 TNT under each pressure pad. This caused major damage to the road, as many as thirty blocks being removed from it. Four blocks compared to about 250 blocks seems like a big difference, and i'm horrible at math. I also remember SirSuba reporting that Yottabyte had confirmed TNT traps legal, but my sources tell me that in a Skype conversation, Yottabyte did not confirm this fact, and instead logged off. All of these reasons have built up to show that the ban I recieved was not the right punishment for the crime, and that other people should have had larger sentences. I hope that whoever reads this can have an opinion, and hopefully support me in getting unbanned.

I support that Leeroy be unbanned. He was only breaking a part of the road in an attempt to slow down the Vikings from griefing us more.
The Vikings were griefing us with TNT and SirSuba was claiming that Yottabyte let them, when I asked him this on Skype, he went offline, showing he didn't want to face the truth.

[yottabyte]

Ban appeal approved. We really need to work on rule 11 because it clearly doesn't work the way we intended it to.

[ZupZup]

Yottabyte, may I ask why you went offline on Skype when I asked if you gave SirSuba permission to grief the road?

[yottabyte]

Yottabyte, may I ask why you went offline on Skype when I asked if you gave SirSuba permission to grief the road?

You were annoying me while I was busy doing other stuff.
Besides, telling Suba it was ok was a mistake from my side. We've been discussing road griefing in the admin forums and we have yet to come to a final decision. I did not mean for the vikings to take road griefing to the next level, I only imagined one trap or so. My mistake and we have to work on rule 11 still.

[ZupZup]

One trap? They placed more than fucking 20 and exploded the whole road.
And then you ban Leeroy for basically nothing.
Kubrickb, if you're reading this, I am disappoint.

[Spammuff]

i agree with Zup they went overboard, the road has big gaps and is now impassable, every 5 steps you took was another trap

[SirSuba]

Eh yeah we should have told you that road trapping was our specialty.... Sorry bout that.

Thank you for your timely reply.

Listen Up! The whole reason that Bans and Appeals are in place is so we can get the bottom of things. You can't log on for a few hours at most. Then Admin/Mods figure out what happen, with the help of your appeal. Also, there needs to be a record of the events on the forums so that if there is a constant problem there is proof and Perma-bans can be issued.

This by no means is one of those situations. Instead of clogging up General chat with arguments, I requested that it come to the forums where is easier to deal with. Considering neither party was online to defend themselves, I was not going to use hear-say to determine what happened.

I thought it was odd that you would destroy the road, but I am a neutral mod and will ban equally. For the record, I did ban NLewis becuase I found the evidence and gave him the boot as well. I did this knowing that everyone would explain themselves and we could move to resolution. I also would like the record to show, that I am still very angry with how quickly the ban was lifted on NL, by another mod, and even stated that he should have to fill out an appeal. (this issue is being dealt with in Mod Discussions)

I went through every block on the road that was destroyed. Found 2 names.

I ask that if you do destroy the blocks as a means of escape. Be sure they are repaired in a timely fashion. This issue would not have happened if that had.

Zup Zup. If you want fair and impartial I'm all you got, brother. Bans ,in my opinion, are tools to find out the truth and deal with it accordingly. I'm not gonna have a "Bitch-fest" in general chat to resolve an issue. I'm gonna remove the issue and deal with it outside of game. I think it is the more responsible way to deal with it.
