Dear Admin,
Now I am advocating for my son's accomplice. Many of the reasons are the same, like my son (smash3636) ASpetseris is also 8 and weak with the keyboard and with advocating for himself. His mother asked me to jump in because she not very technical.
I was in the room with my son when both he (smash3636) and ASpetseris were banned. Like my son, he finds this difficult to accept. I drove them both to school this morning and MineRealm was the only subject for the trip. Both kids really enjoy playing on your system and feel terrible about what they did. They were interested in the details of /PvP and the neither so I will read-up on it and share with them. However, I will leave it to ASpetseris's mom to review the general rules of nice behavior with him as it's not my place. (But he knows I won't advocate for him again.)
Kindly unban ASpetseris with Smash3636 on the 27th.
Thank you,
Dave
As a side note, both kids are LD. For LD kids, Minecraft is a double-edge sword. It level's the playing field for kids with social integration issues because everyone is socially handicapped - there are none of the facial cues or body-language/personal-space issues that these kids miss or miss-interpret. The game plays to strengths such as visual/spacial awareness and simple grammar of shapes and recipes for making stuff. For all the reasons it is great for them, too much is bad for them. All these kids want to do all day is play Minecraft or Roblox. So it is offered in moderation. As I mentioned in my appeal for smash3636, your implementation is great and offers these kids a chance to play on an open server, develop other friends and hopefully learn additional socialization strategies (but lighting players on fire is certainly not one of them and they are very sorry!)
