Although this does not pertain to me I do wish to clarify some of the things that mindmeld got wrong about his statement and since I was there at the time I feel I am a pretty credible witness.
First off, none of those besides mindmeld got any sort of warning mute or punishment of any kind, you can see the 2 main people that were involved at the time of the punishment were mindmeld420, and Vedel.
Secondly, though this other thing I’m about to mention is anecdotal I do believe nether of those people deserved punishment so much worse things have been said in the presence of staff its getting hard to say where the line is drawn anymore.
Either way I’m not trying to interfere just want to clarify some stuff and add something helpful to the conversation.

There is no debate that what I said was not a mutable offense, this decision by DrBipper speaks to the root of the problem this server has. I am not aware of the logistical decisions that come when promoting a mod, but from my perspective some staff members are using the low player count as an excuse to abuse their permissions which is inherently horrible for the server’s success.
I shouldn’t even have to make this appeal, the server will die if punishments are handed out this much. No one will want to play. </span></p>

@mindmeld420 , so after literally hours of going over /siege intervals and kill times and chat logs, and after having to pull you guys into the private channel to explain what we constitutes harassment and and asking all of you to just chill and take it easy because a fellow player on our server is feeling harassed. After all that and then seeing that it didn’t make an impact , the player still gets attacked/sieged the minute of being online, yeah – staff decided to give you a 2 week temp ban after some discussion about it.
Just mere minutes later, I get dms from you wanting to talk about it. And as I told you, I was not in the mood to listen to your excuses and explanations. It feels like you had not been listening to what staff told all of you guys. You all had been too busy pointing out what each one of you had not been doing …. “I didn’t say that in chat” .. “I didn’t even kill” .. etc etc. So you chose what you wanted to hear, decided it didn’t apply to whatever your plan was and kept on going. What you didn’t realize that the combined impact of all of you guys was harassment and we wanted it to stop. You guys had been verbally warned !! Not a “punishment warning” perse, but verbally asked to stop your behavior ! How hard is it to just chill for a while, to let things ebb down, to let the waves flatten out ?
You decided not to heed and now you got a 2 week temp-ban . Take the time to reflect how you impact others on the server. I wish you’d ever realize what a unique community PirateCraft actually is and how this virtual world can be an amazing place where you can make friends and establish great relationships and have fun together. Some of you see it as your personal playground, and you only ask what you get out of it, how you benefit and – through actions of harassment and verbal threats – you drive away the exact people you actual need to successfully play together. Sorry I went on a bit of a tangent there …
My final statement is this : I am not adjusting your 2-week temp-ban because you don’t like it.

Edit by Mod: This was already dealt with the online staff at the time, both were muted.
Edit by Hugs: The addition to the report is over Mindmeld420’s actions following my original submittance. The two muted did not include Mindmeld.
Not to mention his now supposed hiring of egirls (he has flaunted about it)
The same egirls who, following Mindmelds’ getting in trouble over them last night, speak for him & say things in chat … especially directed to me:

Hello @mindmeld420,
Please report this as a bug on #bugs on our discord. You’ll not get your keys back, but I think you can get the pots exchanged for the right ones if it does turn out to be a bug.
Regards,
