This will fix it!

Sorry for taking so long to deal with this appeal. There were some notes regarding this account being used during a ddos attack, however I do not think that you were apart of this. I suggest changing the password on your account to be sure that it is no longer compromised. Please read our rules located at http://nerd.nu/rules . After doing both of those things reply back here stating that you have done so and I, or another staff person, will unban you. Thank you for your patience. Cyotie911

Apologies for not replying sooner. Give me a little time to review the information surrounding this ban and I will hopefully get back to you shortly. Cyotie911

Hello Dunk, Thank you for being patient. I will be discussing this appeal with the rest of the head admins and will hopefully have a resolution some time soon. Cyotie911

So with timed bans, i can see this happening... player comes on, griefs a little. Logs off. Gets banned a day later. Doesnt come back on for a month or 2. Logs back in. Ban length has expired. Player never knows he was banned, let alone that he ever did anything wrong and in my eyes, cant really be heald responsible for past actuons that he may not ever be aware that they did.

Honestly, if its feasibly possible, im for it. The stability of the server is always of the most importance, if it were to cause issues or people find bugs that could crash the server, it would be removed. But honestly, sure, why not.

Thank you for your patience, hopefully we will have a resolution shortly.

What you see isn't a hack. All you are seeing is a history of your edits. This is not a tool for detecting ores, simply a visual history tool. We have this available because we are staff and we have access to a players logs. Nothing more, nothing less. I'll leave this open for a bit if you would like to reply, otherwise it will be closed and we will see you in a month.

hence the reason I'm against it all together. Just seems like it's going to be more of a headache than its worth. I mean, the people who will benefit are either, people who will probably never play here again, or ones that won't remember they were banned in the first place. All All it will accomplish is giving us an unnecessary headache.

Probably, but again, this would publicly announce that we are doing this, which I'm pretty sure will induce a ton of unnecessary drama from people who disagree.

I'm still for at least making people appeal. Also, how would we keep track of older bans? An appeal is how we keep track of them now. Would we add notes? If so, then will essentially be announcing that we are getting rid of old bans, and I can see the drama session that will be created on the forums from this.

Just post back here on the 14th to become unbanned.

Actually, you're a day early. I'll unban you tonight at midnight (since I'm usually still up). Glad that you reappealed. Welcome back. On a further note, please be on your best behavior. Please show that you have changed. I believe anyone can change so prove me right.

Lol, didn't even realize that there was a /warn command. I have always used /msg and /cmsg when warning a player about their actions.

Ancient ban. Go read our rules at http://nerd.nu/rules and reply back stating that you understand them.

I do like this idea with the exception of what jchance said. When you have a Rev reset date set so far out in advance, everyone will quit building the entire last month before. If there is a set date, then when new players join, they may leave if the reset date is a month away rather than then building, since we normally only announce the end of revs a week to 2 weeks in advanced, this normally doesn't happen. Edit: might rewrite this later after I wake up and am no longer on my phone. I'm sure my grammar is horrible.

Difficult1 that was one of the best posts I have ever seen from you. Big +1. I also always prefer to think of the nerd.nu as one community. Everyone who has been here long enough to recognize their name, I consider family and it does pain me some to see people arguing. We, as head admins try our best to help and improve the community in growth and integrity. I receive criticism and take it to heart. I hope always that everyone can work their differences out and stick around to watch this community become something even greater than it already is.

Just in case anyone cares http://nerd.nu/archives/index.php?p=/discussion/1325/cyotie911-ban-appeal#Item_2

Define working your way up? Are you talking about being staff? There are several staff members that have been banned in the past and even a few that have been banned more than once. Hell, I was even banned once a long time ago. That being said, if you were banned in the past, that doesn't mean you will never be staff.

Got me... Have no idea.
