Ban Length: 24 Hours
Banning Staff Member @Perry

Ban Reason: AFK Mining
Time of Occurrence: 6:40PM CST
Relevant Evidence: I have absolutely no evidence, because I have no reason to record while performing completely passive jobs. I've been grinding away mining for days now, and not ONCE have I stepped away from the computer while mining. It is 100% allowed in the rules to +attack while mining. I was in iMessage trying to talk to someone when Perry came to me and banned without making ANY attempt of getting my attention. Mining ore that is at 0% is not a sufficient reason to assume I am AFK. When you grind away for hours, you tend to forget to look at the %.

There is no rule against using iMessage while +Attack is on, and it certainly can't be considered AFK mining, since I was there and moving to my next ore when he processed the ban. This is NOT the first time Perry has harassed me for AFK mining. He noticed me and another were both mining another rock that had just hit 0%, and ignored the fact that we were both having a conversation in chat and had forgotten to check whether it was empty. This is a completely false ban and even in the rules, staff must be able to REACH you. Which he did not try to do. Here is where it states so in the rules:

The usage of any kind of anti-AFK script or remote control software is not tolerated. This excludes only +attack. Using some form of AI to do things such as farming, mining etc. will not be allowed, you can use +attack as long as you're present at the computer/laptop etc. If you do not respond to when an administrator attempts to get your attention, you are liable for a punishment.

I moved you around with my physics gun and you didn't respond. That's enough evidence for me that you were either tabbed out or away from keyboard. You probably moved while I was typing in the ban. You were mining at a 0% rock for a long time, when I moved you away from the rock you kept swinging at nothing. This is reason enough to receive a ban.

I had iMessage up and was unable to see the screen. I was absolutely without a doubt at the computer. If your developers log the action they can feel free to check the timing of when I opened up iMessage. I was not afk. I have too much respect for this server and its' rules to abuse/cheat and try to get ahead over other players.

You did not say a word, you did not type in chat. I can't possibly understand how you can consider this a valid reason to ban me when you made very little effort to get my attention.

If you aren't discrediting the fact that I may have been in iMessage, then you could easily understand I could have taken 5-10 seconds with the screen open while mining. Then I closed the menu, and you even admitted I went to my next ore afterwards. I still don't see how 10 seconds of iMessage use constitutes a 24 hour ban.

You will be unbanned, but trust me. It was longer than 10 seconds.

Your ban will be lifted,
Appeal accepted.
