Why you were banned:
"Conspiracy to grief spawn" is the given reason but the real reason according to luigi is "have no intentions of contributing anything positive to the community,"

When you were banned:
A month ago exactly to the day of writing this.

I still stand with my views, but yea the whole thing is over so I would like to be unbanned. Did I go a bit to far before? sure! so yea.

Clearly he still has a vendetta against the server, he still stands with his views that the spawn should be griefed and the server should be closed.
I doubt he has any intention of playing on the server and only wants to come back on for the purpose of griefing and causing trouble in an effort to destory the server and our community.

He admits that he has no intention of contributing anything positive to the community and the last part reveals it all:
"I still stand with my views, but yea the whole thing is over so I would like to be unbanned. Did I go a bit to far before? sure! so yea."
ie. "I still hate the server, and since you guys are still having fun, I want to make sure it all ends. I went a bit far last time, but not far enough. Unban? Sure if you guys are that foolish! so yea.."

Luigi, I don't think that tom cares anymore tbh. I think that he just truly wishes to return to this server. Of course he still stands with his ideas that paying for mod is wrong, heck I stand with that too, but that doesn't mean that he wishes harm on this community. Just unban him and trust me, he'll be a better person.

(I know you have already denied this appeal but I just want you to hear me out Luigi).

Luigi, going from "I still stand with my views" and "Did I go a bit too far before? sure!" to "I still hate the server" and "I want to make sure it all ends" makes no sense.
Clearly the majority of the server wants him unbanned and does that not mean anything to you?

Why would he ask for an unban if he hates the server? To grief even more or to spread more negativity among the community? even if so everybody deserves a second chance don't you think Luigi?

You've given other players a second chance that were more toxic and more damaging to the community and the server before. I think unbanning Tom would be the least you could repay him for spending his time helping the server as much as he has done already.
(He was an Admin for christ sake, does that not convince you enough to give him another chance?)

If however Tom would not stand by his word and break the rules I think he should be permanently banned from the server.

I respect your authority Luigi and I know you have already denied this appeal but I have to say that I am disappointed in you.

My views
My views still stand on people NOT being able to buy staff ranks. MY VEIWS ARE NOT that the server should be closed and spawn should be griefed.

Reporting the server for breaking the EULA does not shut the server down lol.
Image

Also Ive explained how griefing the spawn was a joke so many times (Except from burning the flag which is like 10 blocks to mess with armz).Also how the fuck would I grief spawn anyways its not as if I have op so I cant edit spawn.

Luigi you are looking far too far with far and being far too bias. You might as well as saying that a tattoist is a nazis because the nazis tattoed the Jews.

That's exactly why Larus. It's really sad when I think of how Tom used to be such a great staff member, how he contributed so much to the server, to now resort to this. Maybe that's part of the reason why he's become so resentful.
I do think everyone deserves a second chance, but only once they've changed their ways, are no longer malicious and have apologised for their actions.

Tom, mojang doesn't have time, nor care to contact server owners. For them the eula is just an excuse to shut down servers so more people can switch to using minecraft realms. Even though I keep trying to reassure myself they do, one day I fear I might wake up and the server will be gone. It doesn't even matter if you trust mojang on that, without being able to accept donations the server would have a limited lifespan with a limited quality of player experience.

Don't hate me for this, but, you look it a little out of context there luigi, Tom's views were on Ross' donation to mod, not on the server while he loves the server, i was in a vc last night and he brought it up, i had a look back to see you denied and was shocked that it was taken out of context. Tom is willingly wanting to come back and to put his feelings to the mod donation thing aside, I'd say we at least give him the chance to redeem himself. As he's a donator now, what harm can he do? yeah he burnt down the flag, solution: remove smite.

Luigi, even so, all you have to do is ban him again if he messes up. Is that too hard? It literally takes a few seconds to type in the command.

I don't understand your mindset when it comes to unbans. You unban hackers after less than a week and players that the community -1 their appeals to no end (No, offence Brooke), but a player that has been on the server for years and was a freaking admin doesn't get a second chance? That's just stupid. It seems like it doesn't matter how many +1s or -1s a player gets, it ultimately comes down to if Luigi likes you.

I have a pratically unlimited number of alts and the same amount of ips.

It's not sucking up to Luigi. Chip didn't ban you. I didn't know why, so I talked to luigi about it, he said don't ban until i'm 100% sure it's you. So on skype i told him another thing that proves your alt, and he said go ahead and ban.

You're a cool guy and all but now you're only digging your hole deeper.

I completely agree. It's not sucking up to luigi. It's not being biased.. I'm treating you like any other Donator+ who got banned and is bypassing his bans.

Of course i'm a little different. I have to be now that i'm Admin. I need to be more strict, be more of a leader. That's why I was promoted, that's why ANYONE gets promoted to Admin. You should know that too since you were Admin.

The only thing different with me is i put myself out there and say my side of the story / how i feel about it and i explain why. Other staff might not. And when I say my side of the story this crap happens to me.

In reply to Puff:

My Judgement tells me that Luigi is afraid of tom doing another Saraku move.

Saraku, a very trusted staff member, boycotted the server 3 years ago, and convinced a large amount of people that luigi was a bad owner and so they should all leave for somewhere else (Saraco).
Tom, a very trusted staff member, boycotted the server, and convinced a lot of people that luigi was a bad owner and they should all leave for somewhere else.

IMO luigi is simply looking out for the server. A lot of people supported Saraku and what he stood for. just like people are supporting tom. However, we now look back at Saraku as an awful person with awful actions.

It's only a matter of time until people rethink and view tom as bad too.
you should really stop shitting on luigi.

I told tom to make this appeal, to prove that he was sorry and could possibly get unbanned. i believe in second chances, everyone should be granted one if they prove that they are remorseful for their actions.
However, Tom's actions have been ridiculous. He's literally trying to rip the server apart because he accepted ross' money. Ross has turned out as a great staff member and the server has more money to be open for many more months.

Ross, Myself, and Luigi have all made actions which have now enabled the server to be here even longer. Tom's actions recently are doing the exact opposite.

You had a shot to rethink and apologse. you've really lost yourself tom.

"Ross has turned out as a great staff member and the server has more money to be open for many more months."
Ross has wrongly banned people for x-ray when they clearly haven't. Ross has been caught hacking whiles being a staff member and has been known not to do his staffing dutys.

Yes Ross money will pay for the server for almost a year, the thing is that Luigi doesnt need that money. how many Architect have their been? atleast 20? thats enough money to pay for the server for the server for atleast 8 years if none of that money has been touched. Stop making it sound like the server is desperate for donations ,to make me look bad, when its not.

"Tom, a very trusted staff member, boycotted the server, and convinced a lot of people that luigi was a bad owner and they should all leave for somewhere else."
Lets just talk about the last bit were you say that I convinced a lot of people to leave for somewere else. That is a blantant lie. I have never told anyone or suggested that people should go to a diffrent server. Also comparing me to Saraku is pretty wrong considering that mine and Saraku motives and objectives are completly diffrent.

From reading what you have just said I feel that you have massivly misunderstood my motives.So lets go through everything that happend and I explained why it happend.

Chip_Bruh recieves $100 dollars off Ross and promotes Ross to Trial Mod
The whole server starts kicking off about it

I step down from staff
As you know Chip I stepped down because of our agreement that I would stand in as staff until another staff member is promoted (because there was only Armz and Chip covering the whole of the EU time zones). Even if I could of stayed as staff I would of resigned anyways. I threatened to do it if Asriel got Co-Owner and I would of done it with Ross paying for Mod.

To be honest allowing people to pay their way to staff is a insult to every single staff member who earned their rank, who was trusted and well liked by the community and had shown dedication to the server. Then you let someone (I didnt even know who Ross was when he got promoted) just walk onto the server and pay $100 and get mod. IMO staff represent Trust, dedication and knowledge of the community. Letting someone pay their way to staff undermines that.

Ross gets demoted temporally and Luigi repromoted Ross
Server still kicking off

I create a post about a server boycott
The protest wasn't even my idea lmao. I just organised to protect another player (I wonder if they would be banned right now if they organised it instead?).Anyways I organised the "Boycott". The idea was that if we got enough player to take part then Luigi would realise that he cant just go and ignore the whole server and hope it would calm down and everyone to forget about it.

Luigi comes on the server
Me and other players try to talk to Luigi in a calm manner and try to convince him and show him what the server thinks about the whole thing. ect.Luigi doesnt take us on and just makes exuses like
[Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] **Mushroom <[Owner] luigiofthebakery> they would have gotten trial-mod anyway
(Ross has never made a Mod application). Then there is the thing were luigi literally tries to bribe me.
more logs of the conversation
http://webbcraft.co.uk/forum/read_topic.php?id=7279

Also before I sum this bit up just another snippet of the logs
[19:50:51] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [me -> [Head Admin] Chip_Bruh] What I want from this is to stop people buying Trial Mod and listen to us guys first
Thats just to prove my motives

I get banned a few time and then perma banned
You can see why in my first ban appeal.
My final ban reason is
"Conspiricy to grief spawn"
but luigi then says that its not the real reason with
"The reason you were banned was because you clearly have no intentions of contributing anything positive to the community"
When I got perma banned I felt that I had been treated highly unfairly and unjustly. So I dicided that I would show what Luigi is really like.You can see it all on my first ban appeal. Then at the end I suggested
CONCLUSION
I think its very safe to say that Luigi doesn't run the server because he enjoys playing minecraft but because he makes money out of it and will do anything he can to stop people.My suggestion is that luigi should step down from being owner to Co-Owner and Armzngunz or Chip becomes the Owner.


There you go Ive never tried to tear the server apart and Ive never tried to drive people away from the server.

Tom, I run the server so that other people can have fun on it. You have no idea how much time and effort I have put into maintaining the server. Once again you've shown just how rude and ungrateful you are. I don't run the server so I can get hate from players like you who want nothing more than to harm the server. In fact, I would have already quit if I didn't care so much about the server and the people who play on it.

The reason you were banned was a conspiracy to grief spawn, which is the same as trying to destroy the server, which is the same as trying to get the server closed by reporting it to mojang, which is the same as trying to destroy the community, which is obviously not contributing anything positive to the community.

Like I said before, to me Ross donating such an amount of money proves just how much he cared about the server and how dedicated he was to keeping the server online. He would have been promoted anyway because I would have seen his dedication to the server over time. Over the past month he has proven himself to be a great staff member, which proves my point, so you have no grounds to continue your petty argument that ross should be demoted, or that I run the server to make money.

I could understand if you didn't agree with Ross being trial mod initially, a lot of people were sceptical, however what I will not stand for is you going out of your way to try and ruin the server for others because of this, especially now that Ross has proven himself to be a valuable member of the community.

You claim to not be harming the server, why then do you not want me to accept donations? Who are you to tell people how they should spend their money if they enjoy playing on the server and want to support it? Why then did you attempt to grief spawn? Why then are you even now plotting to hack into my account and others?
These things are contradictions. You've been bypassing ban with alt accounts and I'm sure have been doing everything you can to grief and harass other players.

You can make up all the excuses you want, but I see your ruse for what it is.

Ive already explained here:

"same as trying to get the server closed by reporting it to mojang"
Ive already explained and shown that reporting the server to Mojang doesnt get the server shut down. Also I am one in many people who did this.

"Like I said before, to me Ross donating such an amount of money proves just how much he cared about the server and how dedicated he was to keeping the server online."
Or he is wealthy (from what I've heard he is) and can easily throw away that money.

"He would have been promoted anyway because I would have seen his dedication to the server over time."
He has never made a mod app so please explain that one .

"Over the past month he has proven himself to be a great staff member,"
As a staff member he has; hacked himself , falsey banned players who were clearly not hacking,abused creative (Some default got a OP sword from him) and has placed a ip at a public warp which could lead someone to get hacked. And from what Im hearing you have given your senior staff members to demote Ross if he messes up again.

" why then do you not want me to accept donations?"
I honestly do accept you recieveing donations from Vip+, Donator+ and architect but I dont accept someone paying their way to a staff rank.

"Why then did you attempt to grief spawn?"
burning the flag down with Armz having a laugh isnt harming the server, but he did take it the wrong way and banned me...opps

"Why then are you even now plotting to hack into my account and others"
hahahahahahaha. Im really not plotting to hack your account or other peoples account. I bet this is because you are paranoid that some sort of Im Saraku V2 and you are paranoid that im going to hack you or something to bring the server down xD. Thats honestly hilarious that you would think that(and pretty sad).

"You've been bypassing ban with alt accounts and I'm sure have been doing everything you can to grief and harass other players."
Yea I've been bypassing my ban. But guess what. I havent been harrassing people and i defo havent been griefing.In fact I've been a good little boy and been keeping my head down.

You should really stop with the blantant lies and stop presuming that everyone who will stand against you is Saraku V2

How do you know that? I think he has been griefing or harassing players, and I think he is plotting something. Also I don't believe mojang contacts server owners. They just blacklist servers whenever they get around to it, and I worry that each day could be the last for this server because of what Tom has done.

So you only think? I thought you said you were "interpreting facts based on evidence". If you only "think" he is doing what you're accusing him of then how is that factual and evidence? You haven't posted any evidence against him, yet Tom has posted a lot of stuff to back up his claims.

It wasn't just Tom that reported the server. Multiple people did, and there's a good reason for it. You're breaking the EULA when you sell staff ranks. Also, if you don't think you did anything wrong, then why are you worried that Mojang will take down the server? If you truly aren't doing anything wrong you should have nothing to worry about.

My evidence is Tom's actions. Sure I could be wrong about his motives but I doubt it. The facts are what tom has done, based on the evidence recorded on the forums and on the server. I have other evidence too but it's confidential. What I write is of course only my interpretation of it. What tom writes is his interpretation. These are just opinions.

About what Luigi said before about the EULA
"Tom, mojang doesn't have time, nor care to contact server owners. For them the eula is just an excuse to shut down servers so more people can switch to using minecraft realms"
I actually decided to lookup what the maxium amount of players a minecraft realm can have on and it turn out that its a maxium of 10 on at a time and only 20 people can be invited. Luigi why do you think its a excuse to convert people to Realms when the maximum amount of players is 10 and this server averages atleast 20 players maybe hight and we have had over 100,000 diffrent players who have joined the server.

Proof that Realms can only have 10 players on at a time and 20 diffrent players can be invited.

Also about my motives, Luigi you cant deny what my motives are. Ive even shown evidence from over a month ago, in a private message to Chip explaining my motives, this was before I was banned.

But... You gave Ross Mod for $100. Pretty sure that counts as selling staff ranks.

About Tom's actions, all he really did was burn a flag (as a joke), and tell people to not get on for 24 hours. He never told them to leave the server forever and go somewhere else. He just wanted to prove a point to you that people were not happy with you giving mod away for money. He has no intentions of shutting the server down, as he has stated multiple times. He also has no intention for you to stop accepting donations. All he is saying is that donating for staff is wrong and shouldn't be done. I agree with that. How would you feel if you played on a server for years and worked your way to mod, but then this guy just joins the server and donates $100 for staff?

Also, about this all being a point of opinion. You say you are using facts, yet you say it's your opinion. Opinions are not facts. You can't say that what you say is fact if it is just your opinion.

What Aouldrain said, you're going a bit far there Daniel :/

I think I can speak for Thomas when I say this, because I'm with him in this whole thing; When we heard about Ross donating his way into staff we got quite frustrated because it was just an insult to the people who are fit for a staff position on here, or those staff who have supported the server for years. I have no idea where you got the idea that we wanted people to go play elsewhere, we only wanted people to not come on for a day. We did that "Boycott" for a day to send a message and to make sure you'd actually listen to your community for once, something you rarely seem to do. In no way Tom would do any harm to the server, he just wants you to listen. Yet here you come, accusing him of things he's "plotting to do". You're just going nuts now man, calm the fuck down.

Dear mr.ofthebakery,
It's me, miek. I've been on this server since April 5th 2016. From that time up until a few months ago, I've been trying to gain moderator status on this wonderful server. I have been striving for staff for over a year! I believe that I have proven myself too. I made the olympics, contributed to the economy, made a huge faction, and made the UFW. I even vote for the server every week.
Now, when I saw some random person show up and pay some cash to get mod, of course I, like everyone else, got upset. See luigi? This isn't right! People that have proven themselves should be the staff members. Not people that show up and pay.
This is why Thomas got upset. He isnt going against you in any way, he just wants you to listen to the people in this server. Please do the right thing, and unban tom. He did nothing wrong...
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Michael9999995

Presinus, I know it's been denied, but the reason for it's denial is stupid and we have the right to continue commenting on here. Tom has done nothing perm ban worthy and deserves to be unbanned. Luigi is just paranoid that Tom will do something even though all he has to do is re-ban him if he does do something. Like really, what can Tom do? He isn't admin anymore, so he literally can't do anything to harm the server. If he did want to do something
to harm the server (Which he doesn't and never wanted to in the first place) then the only thing he could do is just set up another boycott on the forums.

The boycott was never meant to make players leave forever. It was a 24 hour boycott to show Luigi what his players thought of his decision to sell a staff rank. Never did it say that they should leave forever. Also, I'll say it again, unban Tom, and IF he does do something again just re-ban him. Easy as that. He hasn't even done anything perm ban worthy in the first place and he deserves a second chance.

And saying you never sold staff ranks is just plain bullshit.
You sold a staff rank to JesseShee before, and now you sold one to Ross. Stop trying to cover that up by saying "hurr durr they donated for it and received it as a thanks", it's just selling ranks man.

I did say that we would kill defaults to wind up Chip cause he said
"in fact it's more likely that new players will stay because there wont be a toxic community that would otherwise drive them away from the server.
we should probably thank you.."

But I never actually did it. So I never discouraged new players from staying

Ross has done multiple things such as hack,abused creative,wrongly banned people and put a ip at a very public warp and he is still staff. So i feel that your first point is invalid.

And for your second point, is wrong because Ross wouldnt of got mod cause he never made a mod app and no matter what luigi says ross wouldnt of got Mod because of it and I have never know in the 3 years ive been on this server for someone to get earn mod without a mod app.

Presinus leave. You complain against everything. You can't talk for crap as you keep changing your views every time you reply on anything. Leave.

Now to luigi, I'm not complaining about your efforts to protect the server, none of that. I'm just disagreeing with their intentions. At first you were on point with valid facts. Then from that post where you denied onwards you started using exaggerated, twisted or plainly invalid facts. Now don't copy and paste this and twist it like how you did with tom's sentence in the appeal.

You have concrete proof of how tom changed. Chip told us that he joined under a new username and IP. Did he cause any harm? No, if he did Chip would've instantly banned him. You have Chip's word, if you don't care about the community's, you have Chip's. I am only suggesting that you reconsider about denying Tom. He's a good guy now.

Explanation on why:

This is something that I believe is just breaking this community apart. I honestly don't even understand what this place is anymore. I myself feel like this whole appeal is asinine, but proves a point. You have to see the difference, that your eyes shall show you. Now, Tom, we've been friends for a bit. Well, at least I believe so. But I think, I owe you an apology. For how selfish and naive I was back then, everyone knows what I am speaking of. I think you still haven't had time to think about this, but I also think a month is, pretty long for something like this. I never really understood what owning a community this big feels like. It must be stressful, but also makes you proud of yourself. Am I correct? I do not know much about this incident, but it seems a bit tragic. I mean, we're all here to have fun right? It was all jokes and laughs... But I think some of that has been taken away during the future. We all we're so nice to one another, but now I see the opposite. This appeal shows that as an example. We as a community is falling apart. But we can't quite grasp the solution to fix this problem. I know, it might say Denied which was stated by Luigi. If we continue things like this, it will make us look foolish towards other communities. Nobody wants that, unless they have hatred towards us. Which, I do not believe Tom should have such feelings, but of course I would need proof to know who's guilty to share my own vote. There's people out there who wish they had a strong community like this. But if you're going to ruin that, then what's the point? Me, personally, wouldn't want to own a community like this. Making me get hit the hardest, because of all the stress and time. All that just to make an ass out of yourself? Pathetic. I'm just ashamed of everyone, including myself as well. I just want everyone to understand this will hit us in the future if it continues. What happened to the past?
