1 Day Ban by Northstarz from [US] RustEZ Pure PvE | No Decay | No Killing | No Raiding |

[Bird Lover]

Hi,

I was banned from this server after playing for what I believe was less than 30 minutes.

There was a player on the server named Billy Mays, who bought vip. I wrote "RIP billy mays" and "a moment of silence for billy mays". Another player, I think named RKF, said that it's against the rules to ban bait.

I honestly have no idea how what I wrote constituted ban baiting. I asked RKF to explain what he meant, and then I got disconnected from the server with a message indicating that another player, Northstarz, had banned me after repeated warnings.

I am totally unclear on what I actually did to attract a full on ban and I think it's excessive especially in light of the relatively short time I was on the server. I don't think anything I wrote was offensive in any way, and as dumb as this issue is, it is a fact that Billy Mays, the Oxyclean guy, died a number of years ago and he was a national celebrity. How mentioning that constitutes ban baiting is totally beyond me.

If none of this is relevant to my ban, and I was banned for doing something else, then I would really appreciate getting an explanation of what it is I did. Most of all I would like to have the ban reversed so I can continue playing.

Thanks

Hello Lovely Bird.

I do understand you are newer to our servers which is why I wanted to educate you with first PSA & warning informing you Pornographic, Sexist, Homophobic, Racist, Political and Controversial Content is not allowed on Rust EZ Servers. Please keep that in mind while building bases, creating any signage, using voice or general chat as well as Rust EZ Discord.

After knowing this you chose to continue to poke and skirt at the chat moderation and rules we have set to ensure our servers are a safe space away from all the real life and world issues many of us face. Controversial content is not allowed on our servers, You were also requested and informed by me that no political or controversial chat is allowed.

Yes a player with the name Billy mays bought VIP and you pushed it one further with your moment of silence. While I understand you may not feel you did anything wrong myself and others took your continued comments as ways to circumvent our rules with your comments. 

Your 24 hour ban will remain in place.

Take the remaining 24 hours to reflect and know that we do moderate in accordance with the rules of the server and actions have consequences. Come back to us, have fun, learn the game and make friends in a safe space knowing we take pride in keeping RL and all the issues that weigh on us outside of this platform.

I look forward to you returning to us.

See you soon.
