Hi Lokans,
I am writing this appeal because I have been banned for around 3 years now and I think its time to ask for another chance to play Loka again.
I want to start the appeal off by explaining what I did to get banned. I got Banned for "Assisting Ban Evasion" I helped "Qaag" ban evade by not telling staff about his alt account. I do want to mention that when I played I was pretty new to the server and didn't really know a lot about the rules like assisting ban evasion and I understand that this is my own fault, I still want to mention it. I did not directly help him by giving him accounts or gear so he could play but I did not tell staff about him playing on the server while I did know about it. When staff found out about him alting I also got banned because I was in a call with him while he was playing on Loka. Looking back at it I realize how immature staying quiet and not reporting him to staff was, but at the time I didn't think about it like, I felt like reporting him would be betraying my friend which I woudn't want to do. This was really stupid of me because he was obviously breaking the rules and I should've just reported him so I wouldn't also get banned. I've had about 3 years to think about it now and understand now that this was just a horrible decision.
I also want to apologize to the community and staff for wasting staff time and also just for not following the rules to begin with. When my friend was alting I knew all about but I just didn't tell anyone I just acted like nothing was happening and stood silent. For a pretty long time after my ban I thought about it like "oh I got banned for something I didn't even directly do, thats so unfair" but after all this time I actually understand why its a bannable offence, I've learnt a lot from my mistake and I also understand why now. Back then I just didn't understand it at all I just thought I did something without any consequences but thats just not true. If anyone can get away with it it just makes more people think they can aswell and it gives staff more to work on and it gives players more to worry about.
In the ± 3 years I've been banned I didn't quit playing Minecraft or diamond pot, but I definitely don't play the game as much as I used to do. I also am not really active in any Minecraft communities anymore so I don't really know what is going on anymore. When I got banned I was young and didn't really think about it, I just moved on and didn't really think a lot about it anymore. I just played some other servers. But recently I have been thinking about it a lot more and realized that staying silent isn't just not following the rules but its also morally wrong. Loka has a great community and to keep this community great the members need to help and not stay silent I didn't do this and instead I did stay silent which got me banned.
Now I understand that what I did was wrong and that rules without consequences are basically just suggestions. People need to respect the rules and follow them otherwise nobody will which will instantly make the server a lot worse. I understand that reporting someone isn't "snitching" but just looking after the server and indirectly also after myself.
I am really sorry to all the players that were affected by what I did and also what my friend did because of me not reporting him. I'm sorry to the staff who had to spend their time trying to find out whose alt it was and who was in contact with him. I'm sorry for the choices I made and that I didn't do the right thing.
Sincerely,
Rhqx
