Banned By: Ae0nAs I understand my ban, I got banned for a combination of illegal cits/resource pack, bypassing afk kick in the locker, and obviously streaming the harmful messages in the official pmc discord. I hope to be let out of the locker and possibly a reduced ban.

In accordance to my punishment for illegal cits in my resource pack I don’t understand what part was illegal, as some parts I know are 100% legal and used by many people. If I could at least be informed on what was illegal with my pack. I feel like this should not be part of my punishment as I, and nobody else, have any idea on what is a legal or illegal cit. Along with this cits add relatively no advantage and are also available to everyone.

The second part of my ban is listed as bypassing afk kick while in the locker. I am not sure what happened with this but while in the locker I set my key binds for mining and moving forward to two keys on by key board. I held these two keys down while watching YouTube. I understand why this might be illegal and in hindsight agree that doing this wasn’t the brightest idea. But I was not bypassing afk as the ban suggests.

The final and weighty part is the offensive and harmful messages that I screenshared in pmc discord. I understand the seriousness of this and the possible harm it might have caused. But I would like to mention that I did not screenshare those messages with harmful intent. Along with this it was not me who said those things. I would also like to say that neither the messages sent nor me screensharing the separate chat were meant to cause harm or hurt, I understand that was not the way they were understood and the faults of us not making that clear.

All that being said, I would very much like to at least have a longer conversation with staff about this and clear up communication issues about the parts I didn’t know were illegal.

Dear GIBear,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your appeal. After carefully reviewing your appeal, we regret to inform you that your ban will not be lifted at this time.

Regarding your resource pack, we understand that you are unsure which parts of it were deemed illegal. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that all components of your resource pack comply with our rules and regulations. While some parts of your resource pack may be legal, others were not, and this led to your ban.

Regarding the issue of bypassing AFK kick while in the locker, we appreciate your honesty and willingness to acknowledge your mistake. However, using any kind of automation or modification to bypass our systems is strictly prohibited, and your actions constituted a violation of our rules.

Finally, we take the issue of offensive and harmful messages very seriously. Although you claim that you did not intend to cause harm or hurt, the messages that were shared were nonetheless harmful and offensive. As such, we cannot condone such behavior on our platform.

We understand that you would like to have a longer conversation with our staff regarding your ban, and we appreciate your willingness to communicate with us. However, based on the severity of the violations that occurred, we must uphold your ban at this time.

We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Best regards,

The Piratecraft moderation team.

Dear GIBear,

The thing about the pack is that you were able to see your armor’s durability without manually checking. We feel that this gives a powerful advantage in PVP as you are able to know ahead of time before parts of your armor break, without any extra actions.

As for what happened in the locker, you’re right, doing keybinds to complete your digging for you was not the best choice as that is also illegal to do. When I came to visit you in the locker you were just standing on the ship attempting to break the deck repeatedly in one spot, making it look like you were trying to bypass the afk kick. Either way, though, you were doing things to bypass the punishment of being in the locker.

When it comes to the messages that were shared. When sharing anything online, it is important to think about the possible outcomes of your actions, it doesn’t always come down to only what you intend to happen. In this case, I believe that if you had thought about these possible outcomes before sharing, you would have never shared that in the first place and I urge you to consider these possible outcomes before sharing in the future, both on PMC platforms and elsewhere on the internet.

I will not be changing your punishment at this time. However, you are nearing the end of it so, see you soon, and if you have any other questions about if something such as a resource pack is legal, please just ask. It’s always safer to ask before using it, than be left in the locker with questions.

Regards,

Ae0n
