I mean, its not like people are online 24/7. The staff can't always be on, and there the minute someone griefs. Therefore a ban is necessary. And also justified, seeing as everyone (us included) had to go through a test to play on this server. This test requires that you read all the rules, and therefore after you complete the test sets up the assumption that you know that griefing is against the rules and that griefing a persons build (regardless of whether they are active or not) is a bannable offense.

As for bans increasing over the last week, we can assume that might be because of the voting system. People are finding this server, and with that comes the trolls and the griefers, and occasionally the person who thinks they are above the rules. I Can attest that there are more people online than their were 6 months ago when I started playing on this server. And with that definitely came more bans.

If you don't want to be banned, read the rules. If you do get banned, its actually really easy to be unbanned, just make an appeal and show that you are apologetic. Unless you've been banned many times before, you'll usually get unbanned.
