[McLoaded]

Hi, My name is McLoaded, U might know me from the Shampoo Accident! Or that time I used to play on the server, Maby even maby u took a look at my Ban Appeal.

Anyways...
I got a idea to speed up the process of the ones that are banned.

Dont let anyone else then the one that made the topic (in this case the ban appeal) and ofcourse the mods and admins to write in here. Its His Appeal as Shampoo__Lord said once. This makes it more personal toward the members of your community. Not the whole server can mess with the chat and u as mods and admins dont need to read loads of crap that havent got anything to do with the ban appeal.
It's fairly simple then. U get more commitement with your members, and they know what is going on since you have more time to spend on more ban appeals (since all the crap is gone). This would give u the extra time to actually respond on a Ban appeal and have a word with the one who is banned.


(a small example from my personal ban appeal:

Please take the time to read

Im going to go ahead and say that all of yall are acting like retarded 6 year olds and that perhaps yall should stop humiliating yourselves in public with this pathetic display of pettiness.

The only relevant facts here are that McLoaded's account was used to grief, and that he has begged for forgiveness. Everything else stated so far is 100% irrelevant and has no bearing on anything at all. Imna recommend that yall just chill for a while and wait for an admin decision, which could easily take weeks if not longer, before an admin decides they have had enough of this absurd tit-for-tat mess and just bans everyone involved from the forums.

Weeks,.. wow.. Wouldnt that destroy the whole fun aspackt of playing games? I dont think the admins are minded like that, Im pretty sure they want to keep the fun in gaming, else its not worth to become a dedicated admin in my opinion, and I repeat: In my opinion! It's one click away to ban someone this easy, its the same way around. If u remove fun out of the gaming, then.. we'll it would be some sort of work u actually dont want 2 do.. like sitting around and wait till u get unbanned and can play again is also not fun. So I dont think u should consider this as work, but as fun. Hope to clarify my statemant a little. And sorry if my english isnt perfect.

Game Moderator : The primary job of the game moderator will be to enforce the rules and increase overall happiness of the players. Game moderators will be required to conduct themselves professionally and must be able to administer self control. We aren't going to lie, this is a stressful position. Minimum age is 16. There is a very, very, very rare occurence where we may except the younger ones, but for all who are reading this: assume you do not fit in to that group.

What you need to be a Mod
Super Important #1. Experience If you have been on this server for less than two weeks, I will not even look at your application.

I just thought I'd take a few minutes to explain some of the core guidelines we look for in potential Game Moderators. If you don't fall under some / any of these groups, then you have something you need to work on.

1. Positive Community Image - One of the most important things for a staff member to have is a positive image with the community. This means that you cannot be public enemy number one: you have to have mostly friends and only few enemies. One way I can very easily tell how cut out someone is for being a mod is this: If I see in their staff application that most of the replies are saying how the guy applying is a moron, a jerk, etc., or he's known to cause trouble, then he probably isn't really fit for being a Mod.

2. Thorough Community Interaction - Another key aspect of a Mod is that people need to know who he is. A player who is mainly a recluse in some log cabin on Survival server probably isn't the best pick for a Moderator. A very outgoing player who doesn't seem to be on anyone's bad side, however, is a perfect example of a mod: It demonstrates that he possesses the abilities to make friends and stay connected with the community.

Sorry but tbh i haven't seen anything positive from the admins or mods in my whole Ban Appeal.. And Im far from a happy player.. (how many times does a girl/guy have to say she/he is sorry,..)

And I can see why people say this.. I've readed this allot in allmost every ban appeal: This one is qouted from -

You do realize that if an admin actually bothers to check this, they will just look at the chat log, right? And I somehow doubt that ***** would of banned you for a single swear considering the fact that helpbot is already banning anyone who swears twice.

So Admins aren't bothered to check.. I can imagen.. At the time they actually tries to care about these banned members.. the posts are rediculas LONG.. they let people wait waaaay 2 long for a answer.. even a simple small message, an update.. but they consider their members as not important. It's feels coldhearted to me.

My whole Ban appeal if U care.

Major TLDR. If you really want privacy for a ban appeal, pm one of the staff rather than making a post. It doesn't necessarily improve your chances of being unbanned, and like a post it doesn't guarantee a reply, but it will be more private. Making a post grants access to the community to write their opinions, unless told not to by a staff member.

The thing is, more often than not, they ONLY read the ban appeal and only pay attention to their initial post. However, i have seen more often than not, that when a Forum elder such as Cerevox can see where the appeal is going, and point it out, it is more often than not, the outcome (not due to cerevox but they've been around long enough to see whats going to happen).

Just like a mod application, the people who post on the ban appeal have no effect on the situation. They can Bump for support or shoot it down. It is, afterall, a Community forum. Back in the days if the Mayans and such, do you think that the leaders just banished people without the community knowing and sharing how they feel? No. Do think that they had say in the matter? I would think very little, as such the case here.

I would have to agree with what Aguy said. Also, if ban appeals were made so only the Original Poster and Staff of minerealm could post there, im pretty sure that it would have been made like that in the beginning.

Making a post grants access to the community to write their opinions, unless told not to by a staff member.

The above has happened numerous times, with either Kerovon or Rokkrwolf312, and even the ocational Moderator, has told the community to stop posting in a topic due to flaming with in or a topic that they are aware about (AKA: Ban Appeal: Kress91)

You dont see the point, sorry, dont want to discuss with you but the dedication of a admin or mod towards his players if missing here.

Im banned for something I havent do. I'm a victum in this all, I lost my account for being banned. My total project I worked on for 12 days straight without much sleep has been Greifed by shampoo__lord. I explained the whole situation and not even a little pm or message on the subject.. nothing.. This is why I made this idea... theres actually an idea box on this webpage.

What the point is.. I cant play and im griefed, and all this for something I didnt do! All I want is some information about why it takes so long to get me unbanned or just banned. And dont give me the "all admins and mods are very busy excuse" its just a lack of intrest in the players that are banned. I know they read it, I know they look at it.. so what the trouble to post a small noticifation. And NO im not trying to get the admins/mods in a bad light (or whatever u might call it) Im just making an Idea for the ban appeals. So please dont go and say stuff like MAJOR TLDR stuff.. its just childish.

Ps. I do Like humor! xD

If they would everything like it was in the beginning then we would still live in caves right?

You haven't been griefed by anyone. Your account was banned for griefing and was rolled back. Your are not innocent. Your are entirely responsible for your account. Everyone, learn a lesson from this: Don't let sketchy friends play with your character.

If you cant even make the EFFORT to spell correctly, then this idea doesnt deserve to pass.

No offence to you all

Idea! - Give it up.
