Response to Last Appeal: While we appreciate the quality of this appeal, it is too soon since your bad conduct outside the server for us to consider lifting the ban.
Appeal Structure:
Introduction:
An introduction to who I am for anyone who is unfamiliar with me.
My name is crackersarecool, I have been playing Loka since 2022, however the server only became my main server in 2024 when I met my friend group Dawnstar. I would play actively every day until my hate speech ban in February of 2025. I am appealing to you today as I wish to rejoin the Loka community and server. I personally feel that I am ready to do so, and hope that after reading my appeal you can feel the same. I acknowledge how serious my ban is, and that allowing me back onto the server is not an easy decision when I have broken the rules, and I fully understand if this appeal gets denied. In my appeal I will cover the topics mentioned above, such as the bad state of mind I was in before my ban, my apology to everyone who was a victim not just to my hate speech but to my general toxicity and how I will be a rule following player if given a second chance on Loka. I have had 1 and a half years to reflect on my actions, and I have changed as a person. I hope that the players and staff of Loka can see that too. I ask to not be judged for who I was when I got banned but for who I am now, and my thanks go out to anyone who will vouch for my new and changed behaviour.
Thank you for reading my introduction, I will now move on to the next part of this appeal.
My poor mental state prior to my ban:
To fully understand my mindset and actions of when I got banned, it's important I tell you how badly I was doing in terms of mental health.
In the months up to my ban I would have been averaging over 11 hours a day on my PC/Minecraft, this was one of the lowest stages of my life. I was allowing this game to control my life, it kept me up half the night and destroyed any sort of sleep schedule i had. This addiction caused me to spend my life indoors, stopped me from doing any exercise or having the necessary amount of social interactions.
This poor state of mind led me to become a miserable person, and I ended up filling the void in my life with toxicity and hate. I ended up being frequently toxic, commonly saying things like “ez”, “dropped” or “light work” whenever I killed another player. This led me to become a generally disliked person within the community, which is completely understandable.
This is important as it allows you to fully understand how I have changed since my ban, which i will state later in the appeal. I also want to make clear that i am not blaming the server or this game for my actions. It is my fault that I let myself go to this low, and I take full responsibility for everything I said or did.
How I Have Changed Since my Ban:
I will now use this part of the appeal to explain how i have changed and that i am no longer in this poor mental state.
To start i no longer find myself addicted to Minecraft, spending nowhere near as long on the game as i used to, this has led to huge improvements in my sleep schedule, social life and physical activity. With my improvement in mental health i feel i have much more control over my emotions, which has allowed me to handle my anger and frustration. I'm no longer as impulsive as i used to be when making decisions.
I have become a more empathetic person that understands the damage my past actions caused. I myself experienced hate speech a few months ago on another minecraft server and it was a huge awakening for me. The fact I thought that it was only words and couldn't hurt anyone shows how immature i used to be, but this is no longer me and i have changed for the better.
Another huge change that i have made is how i handle arguments and disagreements. Instead of resorting to toxicity or getting defensive i try to remain calm and solve situations peacefully instead of resorting to hate speech, toxicity or harassment. I think the people of Dawnstar can truly vouch for this as i used to be someone that causes many internal arguments within the group but they do not happen anymore.
How I Have Changed Since My Last Appeal:
I made my last appeal in April 2026 and the biggest change since has been getting my first job over the summer. Working has taught me a new type of responsibility and has put me into new social situations. These situations where i was required to remain calm have ultimately shaped how i deal with arguments or disagreements as said in the paragraph above.
It has also led me to communicate more maturely than i would have before. I have been able to handle criticism calmly rather than resorting to toxicity or hate speech as the old me would have done.
Apology:
I will take this chance to apologise to everyone, not just those who had to suffer from my acts of hate speech, but the community who had to deal with my toxicity, as well as the staff whose time i have wasted on the server and on the forums.
My behaviour was completely unacceptable and there is no justification for how I acted to get banned, as well as my conduct off the server after my ban. In the time since my ban I have come to understand how hate speech can be deeply hurtful. I am truly sorry to those who were affected by my hateful remarks, and I understand if you don't accept my apology, you might consider my actions unforgivable, but i want you to know i genuinely do regret what i did.
I apologise to the community who had to experience my toxicity when interacting with me on Loka. Since my ban i have played other servers where i was receiving this type of immaturity, i can finally understand how this negatively affected the atmosphere of the server and how it can ruin the experience for other players. I am sorry I didn't realise the impact of my wrongdoing sooner, and that it took a ban to put an end to it. Saying things like “ez”, “dropped” and “light work” was immature and unnecessary behaviour, but behaviour i have stopped doing, and will never do again.
I will also use this appeal to apologise to the Loka staff, i have made multiple mistakes when dealing with staff, notably my first appeal. I made an appeal less than 1 month since my ban, which is a completely foolish thing to do. I knew full well that it would not even be considered and all the appeal did was waste the valuable time of the staff team, i am sorry, and i hope that this and my last appeal can show i am serious about getting unbanned unlike my first one. I also would be menacing when dealing with staff on the server, often if Cryptite ever had to come to my town to fix a bug i would try to annoy him by spamming my armour on and off to make an annoying noise, which would lead to short 15 minute bans. This was childish behaviour from me and will never happen again.
I am sorry to everyone who had to experience my old toxic and hateful ways, and hope you can see the new person i am.
How I Will Act If Unbanned:
As mentioned in my last appeal and in the paragraphs above, my old habits of toxicity, hate and general poor behaviour are gone. Instead of being a negative to the server i hope to help the community in any way i can, to guide new players and try and improve the experience for everyone around me. I dont resort to hate anymore, i am a new person capable of dealing with any problems i have in a mature manner.
I promise to be a rule abiding player at all times, always respecting any staff decisions or instructions. I can avoid getting myself into any unnecessary drama. I’m capable of keeping minecraft as a healthy part of my life rather than an addiction keeping me down.
I understand that i need to earn back the trust of the players and the staff, and all i ask for is a chance to do that. I know that words alone are not enough, and if given a second chance to play Loka i will not disappoint you. I am asking for a second chance, not a clean slate, i understand my actions were terrible, i truly do, i regret it every day. I just need one chance to prove to you im capable of rejoining loka
Conclusion:
To conclude this appeal, i know what i did was wrong, it was a terrible mistake made when i was an immature and toxic individual. No matter what i do I cannot undo my past mistakes, but i take responsibility, and have made the changes necessary to better myself as a person. I regret the person i was and the way my actions affected others and i wish i had understood the seriousness of it sooner.
I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart to everyone who suffered from my hate speech. Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of their day to read this appeal. Especially the staff of Loka, who probably have better things to do, and wouldn't have to be reviewing this appeal if i had matured up sooner.
Additional Information:
I have not attempted to alt or evade my punishment in any way. I have not used AI in any of my appeals and they have all followed the 3 month rule as required.
Thank you for reading my appeal.
