Server you were banned on (SMP): HometownMC
Minecraft name: Braccus
Reason for your ban: Kiro's personnel feelings in a private (/pm'd) discussion
Who banned you: Kiro
Why should you be unbanned:
First, an account from my perspective:
Having a private conversation with Kiro that was disagreed upon resulted in banning me on a mere whim is not the kind of actions moderators should take. I was warned to stop my current discussion in open chat , and i did, resulting in a private conversation with Lexbun. After finding out some further information from lexbun, i was directed to kiro for suggested conversations in the past that i had no idea of were deemed inappropriate. Trying to find out what conversations that were infringed upon me about the past, i delved deeper into the reasoning of Kiro stating for me to STOP stating my opinions, bringing up my opinions, and or what was controversial. This is an adult server and after asking Kiro to state the nature of these past conversations, Kiro increasingly got more and more frustrated with me and my questions because they didn't align. So i stated in open chat, for everyone there to /ignore me. I asked Kiro over and over again, what was the point of having /ignore if one could not state an opinion? Not everyone will agree with everyone. Having a private conversation on an adult server shouldn't result in Moderators, when disagreed with to be able to as a personal affront and exert modly powers to ban. A difference of opinion is a difference of opinion. No personal attack or character judgment assaults were made. It was just an adult discussion (not an argument) between two people at this point, and when one side couldn't see an impasse, took their ball and went home.
Now that my perspective has been presented, here are the reasons for an unban:
1: When asked to stop in open chat for what was deemed a "controversial" subject, I did, and took it to private chat
2: I have been a member here for a long time, have since enjoyed the server enough to donate, and normally keep to myself
3: I do not intentionally (regardless of what others may say) go "Out of my way" to get on peoples bad side
4: I as well as many others have differing opinions that don't always get agreed upon
5: If an apology be deemed necessary, one will be offered publicly but begrudgingly (I'm adult enough to)
6: Future instances, will either be /ignored or not responded to
7: Ultimately, the decision is not mine, but i do hope to have the ability to return
Why do you want to come back: I do enjoy the non-greifing/rollback functions of this server and always have. The perks that are offered to donating members makes this server one that has many characteristics that others do not. There are of course certain people here that i enjoy talking to, and others i do not. I use the /ignore function for those people. I also enjoy the fact that this server is an adult server and should be kept that way.
