Seeing as there's a section specifically for people with ideas and/or suggestions,
I thought I might throw out one of my own.
Now, before continuing, lets clear something up. This isn't me raging because I've been banned. It's a
sincere suggestion that I think would benefit the relations between the real members of the
minerealm community and the minerealm staff. When I say "real", I'm only trying to exclude those who
simply get on the server to blatantly break the rules.
I was reading some posts, gathering the general consensus of what is expected of those who are banned,
due to a mishap on their part, and choose to post an appeal. Basically, they're asked to be an adult about
their mistake and fess up. Admit that they were wrong and express their apologies for said mistake and
state that there was some lesson learned, implying their past mistake will stay behind them.
While reasonable for most, I think the staff needs to remember that they're, in a nut shell, asking 10 to 14
year old kids to instantly grow up. Also, asking someone who's just been shunned from a community
NOT to lash out. I mean, I would think that any normal person would want to lash out, right? It's a
typicall response. Of course, I know you know this, and is exactly why you expect
it. I think you, the admin, need to often remind yourselves that there are people on this server who
understand what proper behavior actually is. Remind yourself, that not all of us are racist slur, swear
shooting, rage infesting tweens. We just just tripped up and kind of look like one, now.
I can almost guarantee, if this is "implemented", that the process of keeping those who deserve to
be on the server, on the server, will become much more satisfying.
I thank you for taking the time to read,

P.S. This isn't an appeal in disguise. My actual appeal is under the proper topic.
P.S.S. Yes, I bit off of jtcanon's format.
