Went to log in today and found a banned notice.

Not sure what for. Whatever it is, I hope its just a misunderstanding.

But, whatever it is, I'm sorry, and will endeavor to stay within appropriate guidelines.

Ok, apparently I was banned for spelling a naughty "P" word in cobble in the Nether.

Not sure why this comes up now, it was something that was done weeks ago - as a part of a joke with another player - in an area where we were both trying to clear a tunnel and make a rail.

Someone kept breaking the rails and collapsing the tunnels - my "friend" who I'll leave out of this - was mad and kept posting signs saying "stop being a "D"" --- I kept taking them down and telling him not to do that, I placed the cobble word where he teleports into the Nether down near bedrock as a joke reminding him about his signs, after having removed another of his "D" word signs.... Apparently the reminder worked, he laughed, and let the whole thing go and hasn't placed any signs since.

I honestly didn't think much about it, its been weeks, not in an exactly "popular" spot, and I figured it had probably been defaced by now...

So, anyway -- I'm sorry if it was offensive to someone, it was just an inside joke.

Inside joke or not, your reasoning for placing it was basically that it was funny. Hilarious yes, because that's exactly what griefers do it for. You should have taken it down yourself whether you THOUGHT we would see it or not.
Also, I came across another thing in the nether that needs to be clarified. You griefed an area that used redstone ore (not a lootable/valuable block) on the floor for decoration, and replaced it with stone brick.

I've very Sorry VV I honestly totally forgot about the cobble since I hadn't been down there in weeks, and my friend hadn't made any comments about it, or I would of replaced it since the joke was long past. It wasn't done to be grief, since I pretty much cleared that entire tunnel area where it was done, and I don't see how I'd be griefing my own work by replacing some netherack with some cobble, and it wasn't because I thought nobody would see it, or trying to hide something or any of those motivations. But again, I'm sorry and I understand that certain words upset some people and won't do that again.

As far as the redstone ore spot - there was a fort there, it was there for several days, just sort of appeared out of nowhere one day. I thought they did quite a nice job and am always happy to see improvements. I never touched any of it until after someone else griefed the area, removing most of the valuable blocks including an enchanting table, and a bunch of book shelves, harvested all their netherwart without replanting, removed chests, and removed various random other blocks. I waited a couple of days, no repairs or fixes were made, so I went in and started repairing the holes in the floors and walls that someone else had made, in an effort to clean the place up a bit. I did loot the redstone ore and replaced it and all the other random holes in the floor with brick stone, and the holes in the walls with cobble as they'd originally used. I didn't know redstone ore was not a lootable block in the Nether, and I honestly figured someone would take it and leave holes again, so I figured the brick replacement would be less likely to be altered again. I will happily replace the pieces as I didn't do any of this to be grief or harassment, just an effort to help fix it the area up after someone else took it apart. I didn't think any effort would be made to roll the area back or anything since, from what I always previously understood, general building in the Nether is not protected as it is in the overworld.

Again, I'm sorry if anything I did upset someone, and I always do my best to play in harmony with people on the server, and to help others.

[RYPMANV]

As a measure of good will, as I promised.

I had one of my guild members take a stack of Redstone Ore and give it to "The Ignition" in their Guild Base, for them to use as they wish.

64 pieces, I believe about double what was there when I was filling the holes in.

Voted yes as it's sounds like was a good will gesture that was taken the wrong way...well apart from the writing that is

FYI

My son and I both play on this server, and have for a long time, he's the one who actually introduced me to Minecraft. On the weekends he is with me we usually play together, he doesn't have a computer at his mom's house. Its something fun we can do together. And I like being able to be aware of what he's doing, and I think this is far more content appropriate than most things.

He's been enjoying using my faster computer the last couple of days, and being able to go in the Nether since his computer seems to have problems there. He was on tonight and Staff told him he shouldn't be on because it was ban evasion. He didn't really understand the ban evasion issue because he has his own account. I hadn't really thought about it either. I had to explain about the IP's and how that works, and that some people have multiple accounts. While the staff member was very nice and told him it was ok, I told him he needed to get off and find somewhere else to play until Rokkr says its ok for us to play here. We're not rule breakers or trouble makers and I prefer that people don't assume otherwise.

[Bu1ld0g]

Mate I have been doing the exact same thing with my daughter although she's the nugget that has gotten herself banned.
Waiting to hear back on what she did.

Ryp, I'm going to constitute it as inappropriate language and not griefing, as I will also state if it's in the filter it's best left out being built into words also. I get you did it as a joke and no matter where it is it can be seen at anytime. As far as your son I thought I told the staff he was, so sorry about that but he would be fine to play even if you account somehow gets banned again. I'm pretty sure I won't see you here again.
