Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): Both

Minecraft username: wingedseraph (i think, may have changed it back to symonescherub)

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): name calling, using discord to circumvent /ignore and harass a player after being warned by staff to stop

Who banned you: staff

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): because, it's been a long time (at least for me), and I am ready to be a better person. I was told to wait a few weeks at the least, so I waited a few months. If you will allow me the chance, I would like to make things right. There are a lot of people on the server I miss, and pets that miss me (Miss u Desiigner) and it is a nice way to pass time. I am sorry for whomever I have offended, and I have had a lot of time to reflect on what I did, and I know that it was wrong, and I won't do it again. It was not a good representation who I really am, but it is hard for you guys to discern that, because of the things I have done. i would like to ask you guys to give me a chance to change this, and i am sorry to the peeps who i gave a hard time (specifically jorah and mel). love u mel even tho we don't get along. and dorito i am not mad at you, i forgive u and when u feel like it you can forgive me too if u want. (also I heard u are staff now, and i am happy for u, i know u talked about wanting to be staff for a while )

Why do you want to come back: It is a nice way to pass time.   and i miss talking to a bunch of cool people from around the world and usin minecraft as a way to communicate. was a nice experience. there is also more work to be done in the mines and at my abode, and I am ready to take it on. my labor is good for the economy

It looks like it was just over 7 weeks since the staff team ruled to deny your first appeal, before you decided to appeal again, which is more than a few weeks at least, but if you feel that has been adequate time for you to reflect, then I'm happy to go through a new appeal with you. I will be handling your ban myself from here on out, as it was my ban after all.

I'm very glad to hear that in your time reflecting, you've acknowledged that your choices weren't the best, and you're owning up to them now. That was the major reservation the team held with your previous appeal, so I'm relieved we're past that now.

I'm sorry to hear that your takeaway from our interactions is simply that "we don't get along", as I always strive to treat all players equally and therefore enforce the rules equally as well, so the reason for your ban was not due to any particular bias against you for all that has happened... but you are entitled to your impression none the less.

I've brought your new appeal before the team again as I do still value their inputs, and while not all are certain about letting you return, I've taken into consideration everything that's been discussed throughout this entire ban and appeals process, and I've decided to give you a second chance. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt that your new appeal is sincere in wanting to make things right and show us a better representation of who you really are this time, and I'm looking forward to seeing you turn your words into actions.

I've also decided to unban your discord account as well, to save us both one more separate appeal. (Normally that would need to be a separate appeal.)  Please keep in mind for future reference that we consider the #server-chat discord channel to essentially be equal in rules and enforcement to the in-game chat of the minecraft server, so the same in-game boundaries set by players should be respected from #server-chat as well despite the limitations of the discord bot plugin. I hope I don't need to explain more specifically what this means.

Welcome back to the server.
