Reasons are given when the punishment is set, and you can see a history of every players, for instance, lets look at yours

http://bans.piratemc.com/index.php?action=viewplayer&player=dpex81&server=0

Here we can clearly see you have been previously muted for language, swearing, being rude etc and another warning for abusing game mechanics, abusing the mechanics of the game to bend them to your own needs. This is fine as it is.

There is ALSO is a player written rules page on the wiki, this is actually linked on the main rulepage http://wiki.piratemc.com/Rules if you wanted to add any then feel free anybody can edit this page, if its good enough itll be added to the main page.

If you have any doubt at all, if any SPECIFIC thing you are trying to do is against the rules or not, then you should ask in the forums, and it will be answered.

As for your specific punishment @Smokeyriver set you that punishment for abusing game mechanics so I will let her reply, I wasn’t around so I cant answer you fully.

From my perspective ships were added to scale walls in a siege not to place redstone torches to open doors, You are nit picking the rules for doing something you know is really sketchy way of using ships, the rules are vauge on purpose, NOT to write down specific examples. we cannot write down every specific incident that could be possible in minecraft, the parameters are endless, utterly endless, your very specific example of cheating falls under abusing game mechanics, you used a Ship to place a redstone torch in someone elses claim, thereby both griefing their claim and exploiting the use of ships, that is why you were given a warning, to tell you not to do that. The rules by default ARE consolidated, as they cover everything without having to be extremely specific because of people like you that try and get around rules “But it didnt say so in the rules so by default I can do it”. No buddy, you cheat your way in you will be warned, you keep trying to find ways to bend around the rules “just because it isnt written” and the punishments will line up on you.

Reporting Username: kaithefireninja

Rank: Me: Gunner, Kai: Sailor

Reason: Unnecessary Griefing, Improper use of nether portal to get into claimed base, Use of afk pool

Evidence: provided below

Additional information:

We have already reported kaithefireninja’s crew for using a nether portal to get into our base. At the time it wasn’t a big issue, we didn’t want it happening in the future. We both had our fun with our “5 day war” and requested a warning instead of a ban. At this point, Kaithefireninja is taking it way to far. We assumed after a warning that would be the end of his shenanigans, however we miscalculated how frequently he would harass and grief the land surrounding our base.

Within the past two days, Kai and his crew have destroyed 3 of our aircraft hangars (which we hadn’t had claimed at the time, but what possesses a person to tear down an empty stone box, 3 times, like wtf), and used tnt to destroy the land surrounding the claimed land that will become our college (Before and after pictures provided below).

If this is not sufficient, then it is also at this time that I would like to report his use of an afk pool. I discovered he used an afk pool when we first met some months ago. I had recorded him using it, and recorded the pool itself, but deleted the evidence for hard drive space, and out of pity for taking his stuff I simply warned him not to use it in the future instead of trying to ban a deckhand. Although I have deleted my evidence, in his infinite wisdom he recorded my correspondence and admitted it himself and uploaded it to youtube (Below)

Normally I’d find this behavior entertaining (especially given we sort of ask for it) but he is at our base almost every day now and is griefing the land for nothing. It’s pointless. We kill him and he spawns on our island and attacks again. Anything that can be done would be much appreciated.

Reporting usernames: Kaithefireninja, catloverday1 (Jordicake also, but we do not have definitive proof of this other than verbally citing it in the video linked below and the fact that she is part of Kai’s crew)

Rank: Sailor & Cadet, respectively

Reason: Using a netherportal to bypass claimed territory

Evidence: (below)

Additional information: **We dont necessarily need these guys banned, since they didnt get much stuff which isnt a huge deal, but something to prevent this in the future would be ideal
