Closing and moving this as it was handled in ban appeals.

Thank you and I promise there will be no more issues for now on.

I did a full rollback (undo) of all of your edits. I would have been within my rights to wipe your inventory completely. As it was, I have confiscated the blocks I mentioned, but I left the diamond armour and tools because villager trading makes that stuff effectively worthless. I will unban you within the next 10 minutes. If there are more problems, there will be a longer ban next time.

I understand I stole those iron blocks and emerald blocks before I read the rules. I thought anything out of unclaimed land was fair game so I was just taking some things to help get me started but once I found the trading hall I realized how useless it was. I understand if I deserve a ban but I would still love to play in the future.

Today, you stole honey blocks from a bee farm, and emerald and iron blocks from beacon bases. You also broke a few other blocks placed by other players. You have previously been warned for grief by us (in 2020). You were told to read the rules then. You apparently did not, because if you did, you would know that there are absolutely no circumstances under which you are permitted to modify other player's builds without their consent. Unprotected farms would be the only situation where there is any leeway, and you must replant those in full (which you apparently did not, according to your trace). Please read the rules now: https://nerd.nu/rules

I’ve already put a lot of work into some my builds and would hate to loose that and I’m definitely not greifing any builds I was just mining pumpkins

I got a greif ban for mining pumpkins in the trading hall? please respond i love the server and i dont understand why i was banned.

I was literally just mining pumpkins in the village trading hall and I might have accidentally destroyed some pumpkin seeds but I was going to replant them and I don’t see how that deserves a ban.

Thank you, you have been unbanned. Play nicely with the other users, and hopefully we won't have to have this same conversation again in the future.

Bump cause im still not unbanned

Yes, I have

Good to hear; let me know that you've reread the rules at https://nerd.nu/rules/ and I will unban you.

Your attitudes have not changed, and advocating for violence is not welcome here. Appeal denied.

I have very much matured since my ban, and I'm willing to act more appropriately and stop annoying members/being rude. I

Hi Defiex. Thank you for responding. Would you be willing to specify exactly what rule you believe I violated, and what I specifically said or did which violated that rule? And are you willing to address the obvious lie that I threatened members of the community - or really any of the items I pointed out in my first appeal in response to your comment there?

Hello Mumberthrax, It is good that you have taken the time to look inward and think about your actions in the past. Unfortunately, we have not changed our stance on your ban. Your comments and actions at the time were to egregious for us to be comfortable allowing you back. We wish you well, The Head Admins, defiex, pez252, & Fazaden.

Hi there! I'm technically the banning person of record here, so I'll be handling your appeal. First of all, thank you for owning up to your actions a year and a half ago. An important part of an apology is recognizing what you did wrong. Another important part is working to change your behavior. Hopefully, you've matured a bit since your ban, and have learned to find healthier outlets for your frustration. Are you willing to act more appropriately in the future?

Just a 24 hour bump after my 48 hour one above. https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2865-ban-appeal-policy/?do=findComment&comment=21999 According to Nerd.nu's ban appeal policy, after the 48 hour bump any staff member may attempt to contact Defiex, or presumably in this case any of the other remaining head admins if they are active, about the appeal. I'm not certain if this has happened, but would appreciate hearing if it does. It does appear at least that Pez is still actively moderating on the servers - good to know:

2 years, 5 months ago on Sept. 11, 2020, 1:24 p.m. I was banned by Defiex from the nerd.nu minecraft servers, as well as being banned from the nerd.nu discord by another head admin. I immediately appealed this ban as improper, the appeal was closed and locked by an admin. I requested the appeal be re-opened, and was denied. This was my first time being banned at nerd. I maintain that I did not violate any of the community rules at nerd.nu/rules. I maintain that the ban I was issued, "Advocating violence against members of the community." is libelous and unsubstantiated by the facts. However, I do think a temporary ban was warranted, even if the rules did not directly cover the situation, and generally was a good thing for me overall. I think the admins didn't know what to do, but they knew they didn't like the situation and I was at the center of it, so removing me made sense. I am sympathetic to this. Two and a half years has been plenty of time for me to cool down. Thank you. I'd like the ban to be reversed, and for my name to be cleared of the libel. I don't intend to cause any more trouble and have no real intention of hanging around in the politics channel of the discord server - I have far too many other discord servers to keep up with as it is. I would however enjoy being able to check out my friends' builds on the minecraft servers. Therefore I am appealing this ban once more. Relevant links: https://mcbouncer.com/userban/14365686 https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/5780-mumberthrax-defiex https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/5823-mumberthrax-defiex-please-re-open-my-previous-appeal-so-that-i-may-respond I have read nerd.nu/rules and they do not seem to have changed substantially if at all since I was last a server admin here. I have also re-familiarized myself with the following policy documents: https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2865-ban-appeal-policy/ https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2908-community-interaction-policy/ https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/4576-policy-update-ban-durations/ https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/1199-expectations-for-staff/ https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/437-ac-pmc-community-and-what-that-means/#comment-3113 https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/7166-outside-conduct-policy/ As well as these admin discussions of which I was a part - the public did not have access to these and had no input so every comment (or lack of dissent) comes from a nerd admin at the time: https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2574-ac-mass-ban-amnesty/ https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/2836-ac-propsal-for-overhaul-of-ban-systempolicy/ If I were to make an addition to nerd.nu/rules which would cover the situation I was involved in, it would be something like: "Chill the fuck out. If you are getting too agitated by stuff, calm down and walk away. Keep it up and you get a timeout/temp-ban. A little grace goes a long way." I'm sure the grammar could be improved. - Mumberthrax Edit: man, I'm reading through the copypaste that Pez posted of some of the chat logs and you guys were really piling on me hard, especially Fazaden with rapidly changing the subject before the last one got finished. I know tensions were high and all, but jeeze. It's almost like I was some kind of dancing monkey you were entertained by, and I was stupidly obliging by trying to answer every question. Kind of glad I didn't read it before writing the above or I'd probably be all frazzled and irritated. xD tbh I felt a lot more agitated than I think I appear to be from the logs, so maybe my rule proposal wouldn't work after all.

This brings a great deal of peace for the crew at Freeroot. We see and appreciate the work that went into this. @shanty_sniper, @varuka, @Standish_ & I have certainly spoken at length about this in Discord. It's probably our turn to listen for a bit. We look forward to the rest of the conversation with the community. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🍻 @pez252 @fazaden @defiex@Deaygo !

Hello all, Recently there was a discussion about about a player with IRL issues with child pornography. Though there was no accusation of inappropriate behavior on the server, we decided that it was necessary to issue a ban across nerd platforms. While we think the risk of harm was low, if an on-server issue did arise it would have caused more harm to the community to not be proactive. We also determined we needed a consistent policy for taking action in the future. A few players expressed, in #pve discord channel, their concern that this ban took too long to enact and wanted to see clear action in the future. We believe that this policy will enable faster action in the future. To that end, the following two statements have been drafted to be included in the general "All Service" Nerd.Nu rules. As with all rules these will need to be evaluated and handled on a case-by-case basis, but having a policy in place should allow for quick and consistent enforcement. Please review and provide feedback and/or suggested edits. Thanks -pez Outside Conduct Policy We do not want to police people's lives and actions outside the server, but some outside issues can spill over into the community and have high enough potential to cause irreparable harm to our player base and community. This written policy is needed to mitigate that risk. Anyone found to have a conviction for, admission of, or credible evidence of having committed the following will be banned from all Nerd.Nu platforms: Financial, physical, sexual, or other types of abuse of children, dependent adults, or elders. This list is modeled after real world mandatory-reporting requirements. Any crime where a conviction results in a restriction on a person's participation in public spaces, or requires notification of proximity/participation, in all applicable jurisdictions. Violations of other Nerd.Nu rules directed towards Nerd.Nu players such as doxxing, harassment, racism, etc. Why this policy is needed Nerd.Nu staff has historically avoided bans for outside conduct, but as people's online lives and offline lives become more and more intertwined we feel that the risk to the Nerd.Nu community of inappropriate real-world actions by community members has increased. It is no longer possible to completely separate online/offline personas. Knowledge of any of these real-world concerns and failure to act by Nerd.Nu staff may be construed by those unfamiliar with our existing rules as tacit approval of their actions and result in damage to the community.

Btw banning admin was @TemporarilyAlive
