  1. Staff Members' Behavior in Ban Appeals

    in Minecraft General

    Posted · Edited by HailSaban

    Do players have the right to ask for their appeal to be private? I never saw anything said about this and have wondered for a while now. 

    If not, I think that should be an allowance. Whilst I understand that if this were to happen, many players would lose the formality and respect that they show in public appeals, but the actual nature of handling the appeal should be the same. If a banned player does something in their appeal that they wouldn't do in a public one, it should be dealt with the same way. 

    Private means private, so obviously the banning staff member can't expose information from the thread, and it would be common sense for the player to do the same. 

     

    I had always perceived it that way. Perhaps it isn't required.

    Wow, this exploded a bit while I was away. In that regard, I apologize for my absence.

     

    Cyotie, I understand that in some circumstances, it's pointless for there to be a request for an outside staff member to deal with a ban. However, I do feel that if a player requests for an alternate, whether it's necessary or not, they should get that right. If they feel that there's bias against them from their banner, whether there is or isn't, they have the right to have another user look at it.

     

    I don't see ban appeals that request for other staff to help often, but when I do, I hope to see the staff professionally handle it, as requested.

    it's likely that the original ban maker is going to be consulted to find out what happened either way.

     

    As per mentioned in my post.

     

    It was brought to my attention that one potential reason for such staff behavior is because of them wanting to convey the information of the ban and the rules broken.

     

    I do feel, as I also mentioned, that it should be private.

  4. Staff Members' Behavior in Ban Appeals

    I've noticed twice now, firsthand, that there's a problem with how some of the staff handle ban appeals. Concerning ban appeals that specifically request another staff member's help, it doesn't seem uncommon, from my standpoint, that the staff asked to stay out of it actually handle it. Now, I've posted twice on other players' ban appeals. Yes, I do realize that there's a rule against that. However, I feel that if I don't have permission to post there, neither do the staff who were explicitly asked to not handle it. It was brought to my attention that one potential reason for such staff behavior is because of them wanting to convey the information of the ban and the rules broken. I can see how this would be fair, but if said information were needed, it would be much more reputable, to me at least, if they were to discuss it privately. I feel that this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

     

    To be clear, I'm not necessarily saying that others should be able to post in ban appeals. That is a rule that needs to be upheld. However, the requests of the banned should be upheld as well.

  21. Fireworks on Creative?

    If we did this, it's not entirely unlikely that history WON'T repeat itself. A few months back, I believe, PvE had a fireworks show to celebrate something. (No idea what it was.) Due to that, C was experiencing great lag, likely S was too. PvE used all of the servers' potential resources at the time. If C is anywhere near as devastating to the other servers, there's likely to be complaints.

     

    Note: The statement about the lag and waste of resources was completely based on word from another user. I was not present to experience it.
