  1. Well repenting is one thing many appeals were -- and we hope to correct peoples behaviour and turn them into better citizens, but the results are showing the community wants us to be less lenient with appeals on bigger crimes, so it will be taken into consideration (some have already been affected by these survey results)

    Like it says in the OP, we actually decided to go to a more lax alt policy a few months back, where we wouldnt immediately ban alts regardless of reason unless it was like a constant trouble maker...

    So 621 and some other more "infamous" bans did get to stay on alts... But that policy is actually one of the main reasons we created this survey. We recognized many players were upset with alts being allowed on, so we created a poll to find out what the community thinks we should be doing in terms of appeals and alts.

    Anyone who has a current alt of an appealed ban will be ok as long as they don't break the rules, but going forward you can expect harsher actions on alts of banned players.
  2. My alt is WCG_Elite ... no reason to hide it - if i did something wrong or if someone else did something wrong, even if they don't say their alt account - the senior staff/admins can still find your ip address and stuff

  3. Well, we have systems in place to track alts... and I have ideas to make it even more robust to track even more.

    Mods too ;)
  4. Seems leigt (again)
  5. Yes. We are much harder than you, Max. ;)
  6. yay results ;)
  7. Well hacking did cause problems with the economy as it gave players an un-fare advantage, but for the most part only had a small effect. MC 1.3 on the other had completely ruined the economy destroyed business that ppl worked hard on for a very long time therefore i feel the all MC updates that continue to have this effect should be banned :D
    in fact as this is all jebs and notches doing they should be banned even if they are not on EMC :D
    Bring back 1.2.5 with some of the cooler and useful features of 1.4. You will notice I did not mention 1.3 mainly because it was such a nightmare, in fact so much so that I will never mention 1.3 again ever ----- absolutely never ----------pause ----- well at least till the next time.

    Any way regardless of all the probs in the past ppl do grow up a little so I think a 1 time only offer for all ppl that have and are still banned from EMC should be given a reprieve, unban them and let them start from scratch day one. i know it will not happen but it what i think and yes i have been griefed etc but even with all that EMC is much better with a lot of ppl playing then almost empty servers. So the only other way things are going to improve is for ppl to vote vote vote for EMC and promote promote promote EMC, I wonder if EMC could do a competition on that I would be happy to make a substantial donation to it, just an idea.

    Remember if you get a chance check out my Youtube channel :D
  8. Woop! Thought you forgot about this haha.

    Personally, I think everyone should have the chance to appeal, and I also think that they should be able to see the evidence to defend their case. :)

    In my opinion - even though trolls *in-game only* are annoying, they don't deserve to be banned or kicked. :)

    Also, I know that you guys have considered deleting all perma bans and changing it to a 7 month ban. Personally, I think this is a good idea :D

  9. the only problem is then they think that they can get away with it.
  10. I don't know where that 7-month ban thing came from, but I think that's a good idea. Everyone deserves a second chance to prove themselves, but if they come back after a 7 month ban and mess up again? Permabanned. Forever. No appeal.

    On that note, I think everyone should get a chance to appeal. Like I said, everyone deserves a second chance.
  11. honestly im probably gonna get some flak for saying this, but i have 1 name.
    Mr. Adolf Hitler, National Socialist Party of Germany Leader from 1932 (I think) to 1945.
    Brought on WWII by attacking poland and invading many countries, and also committed mass genocide on many innocence people and religions, most notable the Jews.
    Yep. Second chance for all!
  12. Good job there's none of this in Minecraft then lol.
  13. Well I personally think that if you let 'permabanned' players start fresh 6 months later, one-time only, they aren't going to see this as an easily exploitable policy.
  14. Good results I see :)
  15. i vote for the EMC-labor idea where perma banned players but do whatever their boss tells them to or else they are banned forever from the internet.
    i just got word that neither ICC nor Justin have that power.
    nor does anyone.
    im still voting for it.

  16. Maybe perm-banned players that appeal and are accepted back into the community can't do certain things such as gain permissions on someone else's res if they were a greifer, or in chat they can only say a limited amount of words if they were a repeat caps or spammer.
  17. Lmao, gotta love it when people grasp at straws to find some reason to make your opinion sound naive. xP Pretty sure no one is planning to take over the EMC servers and mass slaughter the players. Second chances for all, I say!

    Also, BiscuitBoy, I think that idea would cause more problems than solve them. I'm all for the 7-month-ban or the choice between a perma ban and having your stuff wiped.

  18. Oh hey. I totally forgot about this…
    Nice to see the community wants to keep this a "clean" server and supports enforcing the rules. :)
