Server i was banned on SMP: Home Town

Minecraft User: BrySenpai

Reason for being banned: Disrespect

Person who banned me: Vilneas

The reason why i should be unbanned is: at the time "6 months ago" my account was being hacked, and i had to change my password and everything my security. so i believe that the person that was hacking me was named "nicktheking" because i was on a different server before i found out "Home Town" the server that i was on before was called "Modembug" so i believe that i should be welcomed back on this wonderful server!

Why i want to come back on "Home Town": My friends and i, "DareSenpai" & "macnaum" have been searching for a great friendly community server and before this happened i was in love with this server! the people, the staff, the grand structures. Everything on this server Home Town i have loved from the beginning when i first starting playing. i really hope you like my apeal, and i can't wait to get back on this wonderful server! 

                                                           Your's Truly ~BrySenpai 

Hey everyone! I'm Beo (my real name's Rachel, call me whatever you'd like).
I've been here for about 3 and a half months, I joined on September 2nd.
I already know a lot of you guys, but even if we don't talk yet, feel free to message me! I'd love to talk to you all <3
Sooo I love Doctor Who, and thanks to Emu, Sarah, and Turbo, I've recently become obsessed with Twenty One Pilots. Like actually obsessed. I loV
When I'm not playing on HomeTown or stressing over school (killmepls) I'm usually skating; I'm a competitive figure skater
I'm also a crazy cat lady and I've recently taken up knitting (well, actually crocheting) so I'm basically already a grandma.


Hope to see you all around on the server and the snazzy new forums!

<3

yo so like, I've never done one of these before.

My name is Maddie, and I use this emote a lot in chat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  .

For real though, I listen to a lot of rock music, my favorite anime is Blue Exorcist, and my favorite TV show is Supernatural.

also I'm hella gay and a raging feminist, so uh, surprise if you didn't know.

You can PM me on Skype (I'll give it to you if you ask) , the server, or on here if you need to talk. I may not be Dr. Phil , but I'll listen anyways.

HomeTown Rulebook: 3rd Edition
June 2019

The completion of the HomeTown server’s tutorial quiz or acceptance of the HomeTown forums’ terms of service agreement is a tacit contract that states you have read, understand, and will abide by the following rules and customs.  Failure to comply may result in appropriate punishment of the offending person/s at the staff-team’s discretion.

Foreword

This rulebook has been reviewed and vetted by the staff-team prior to ratification.  All information and rulings have been deemed accurate and fair.  All rules and punishments listed are the direct result of either the original rules [Founder] FrostVINCENT put forth or public incidents of unrest requiring staff-intervention.  The purpose of the rulebook is to create a public, common-law standard to assist the staff-team in making fair judgments and cite their reasoning.  Any abolishments, addendums, or alterations will be named and dated in the Change Log section at the bottom of the document.

HomeTown Forum-Rules 

Failure to follow these rules may lead to warnings, temporary-forum-bans, permanent-forum-bans, or forum-purges to be utilized at the staff-team’s discretion.

A.  Be respectful to others at all times and do not be annoying.  General disrespect, hostile trolling, racism, sexism, etc. towards any person, group, organization, or creed will not be tolerated in any form.
a1.  HomeTown is a privately owned entity, the staff-team has full authority to censor or moderate the community to maintain order.  This includes forcing accounts to use socially proper content for PFPs, usernames, and signatures.
B.  Do not spam the forums.  
b1.  spam are any messages that the staff-team deems to inhibit the general community’s ability to communicate, function, or cause annoyance.  HomeTown’s definition of spam is more extensive than any dictionary definition; do not argue with the staff-team over this.
b2.  unsolicited advertisements for real-world services, blogs, or other MineCraft servers will not be tolerated.
C.  Forum account signatures will not be taller than 400 pixels.
D.  Follow the rules of the ban appeal section, as listed here: https://hometownmc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=3

Punishments

HomeTown maintains community stability via numerous rules outlining one’s conduct, and punishing those who fail to comply or improve one’s behaviors.

To address people breaking the rules, the staff-team follows an escalating force continuum of punishments.  Where a staff-member starts on the force continuum is based on the severity of the offending person’s actions or their past history of negative behaviors.  Avoiding or circumventing a punishment will result in greater punishment.

Lv.0 : written warnings and player kicks.  Written warnings are given to players whose infractions are deemed minimally severe but still need to be addressed.  Player kicks are brief, forceful disconnections from the server often due to chat disruptions.  Kicked players may rejoin the server seconds after they are kicked.  The reason for the kick will be stated in the kick message.  The kick itself is viewed as a warning against further infractions of a similar nature.

Lv.1 : mutes and temporary bans.  Mutes may be given to players when they have accumulated numerous warning or kicks following chat infractions.  Mutes are often set to last between 10 - 15 minutes, after which players may chat again.  For mild rule infractions, a player may be barred from the server via a temporary ban.  A temporary ban does not require that the banned player make a ban appeal, as their ban will be lifted after a certain time period has been met.  Attempting to appeal a temporary ban may be denied at the staff-team’s discretion.

Lv.2 : bans and permanent bans.  Bans are given to players who have engaged in a moderate breach of the server’s rules.  A ban will remain in effect until the offender submits a correctly-formatted ban appeal on the server forums and the staff-team accepts this appeal.  After 2 - 3 repeated and/or appealed bans, the staff-team may institute a permanent ban on the offending person’s account/s.  On occasions of grievous damage to the community as a whole, a player may be outright permanently banned following their actions.

Lv.3 : Internet Protocol Ban (IP ban).  This punishment is reserved for repeat offenders who use alternate accounts, players who have engaged in cheating on the server, or placed on top of some permanent bans in some instances.  This ban denies access to the server from a player’s electronic device through their Internet service provider.
