Mojang Name: BedlessBlade
When you were banned (approximately): A month ago.
Why you were banned (if known): None listed (False accusations which i now see were not funny.)
Why you should be pardoned: Well, I think it was still a bit harsh of a punishment. (especially considering the ties to Rules – Open Redstone Engineers is quite loose from what I have seen.)
So this started when I made a not so funny joke about Nick being a cocaine dealer. After I had said this I did realize it was not very funny but then Capo told me (as far as I remember this is what he said) that Nick could get in trouble for this accusation. Now I’m pretty sure no-one has ever gotten in hot water for this sort of thing but.
Anyways, I think the ties to the rules are quite loose but I know that doesn’t matter (this is ORE so rules don’t matter for bans). I understand it was an unfunny joke but I think it’s a stretch to say that Nick would get in hot water for it.
I just accidentally joined and noticed the perm ban (or indefinite idk). I think that it’s not really permanent ban worthy if you look into the rules and the potential issues it could cause.
Sidenote of which how can I get permanently banned for this but when Nick says the n word (something that is actually very racist and against the rules) he gets a small conversation because of an excuse he made for it.
Anyways, there’s a lot of double standards going on here and I don’t think it’s very good for the server or members. If you go on another server or talk to old members a lot of them really hate that part and that’s why they don’t really play on ORE (in my experience).
If I do somehow get unbanned I still probably wont play.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes but I don’t know if this specifically is worth a permanent ban. Anyways, I highly doubt this will get replied to but if it does I will be very surprised.
Also still waiting on the promised fair ban system. Same with the entire “moderation update”. Also there needs to be more staff and actual staff training and not just do whatever tf you want. Would like to see the rules actually followed (if I don’t get a lighter punishment for this appeal then please add a rule to the page about false accusations.) Would also like to see a real list on the rules page for ban times (right now its kinda random and some staff ban longer for some things than other staff)
Not really gonna play on ORE (built a small community of my own) but I would like this resolved and for commitments to be followed through with.
Might edit in new stuff to this if I think of more things.
Also just remembered I was warned by Nick for something with wanting to stream pirated content in a voice channel. About 2 weeks before Capo had encouraged Eithanz to stream a pirated copy of Cars in a voice channel while he and mattbatwings among other players watched.
I want to also just give some input that the punishments and rules need to be much more clearly defined and staff need to communicate on whats ok or not. I think there also should be a guide for ban times to reference.
