Ban Length: 12 hours
Banning Staff Member (@AdminName to mention the staff member): @Clint

Ban Reason: AFK Mining
Time of Occurrence: Around 4:30 CST
Relevant Evidence: None
Additional members involved/witnessing: "Vape Nation" (I don't know the name because they were wearing a mask with the name "Vape Nation" input on the mask, however they were a staff member because they used noclip and teleported frequently) - the user routinely checked in on me while I was mining, I had been mining for north of 3 hours when I was banned.

Note: When I was banned I was about three hours into the session of mining that I assigned for myself today. The plan was to mine for about 5 hours or until my inventory is full and sell the supplies. After selling the supplies I was going to play with Organization members and help them out. I was mining Titanium because it sells for the most money and so I was at the end of the ravine going between the three sources. An individual named Ella came by three times to also mine for Titanium but because it takes so long to restock the source I threatened them with a gun and made them vacate the area. "Vape Nation" came by about seven times and watched me mine the titanium. When I was banned, moments earlier I had left to use the restroom. As most people who mine also do, I opened console and input +attack into it so while I was away I could collect resources. When I came back roughly eight minutes later I was tabbed out and continued watching the Netflix series I was watching, forgetting about the mining for about 10 minutes. When I tabbed back in I was banned for 12 hours under the reason of "AFK Mining", which I find to be an unfair length of ban for around 18 minutes of mining without attention.

Literally this sentance is admiting that you were afk farming.

I gave you almost five minutes to respond and you failed to do so.

Yes, I did say that I was AFK, not only did I say that but I also said it was roughly 18 minutes. Nevertheless I did not intend to farm resources for any specific reason and at most I gained 26 Titanium from being AFK. I understand that I was liable for a punishment by not responding to you while i was most-likely tabbed out, however for around 18 minutes and a maximum of 26 titanium ores I feel a 12 hour ban is very harsh. Because I planned to do this for a large amount of time I planned to eat and drink during this time, meaning that I was most-likely going to use the restroom, and I apologize for being AFK while actively mining, however 18 minutes is not as long as I have seen most people go AFK for while mining or doing anything that can be done while AFK.

I am not saying that I am innocent and that I wasn't actively responsive in the game when you checked to see if I was AFK, I am just asking for at least a reduction of the ban length or a removal.

Thank you for your consideration.

Ban Appeal: Denied

When using +attack you must not go AFK as such, you may only utilise your second monitor if you have one whilst you mine. It is important that you keep both whatever, for example, YouTube video open & the gmod screen open so you can see whats going on around you. AFK mining is not allowed. Yes you can go AFK in many other situations but do not go AFK while you are benefiting from using +attack. I'm sure there are strict rules that you may refer to on this, read them, I believe you ( @gru ) are in the wrong. Furthermore, I believe this is a very lenient ban time for benefiting as much as you did. If you need to go to the restroom or eat and drink, simply holster your pickaxe and go and do what you need to do, that way you are not unfairly benefiting. You must remember this is an RP server, you come here mainly to RP not go AFK.

Finally, if you see people AFK mining please report them. And pro-tip do not excuse your actions by saying others do the same, you have been caught, that is the worst argument you can use. If repeated offenders of this rule are caught doing it again you will be banned for a much longer time.
