The issue here is not about rules placement. An admin had informed you it was against the rules, and instead of changing the sign, you argued with them for half an hour and finally pleaded with the admin to ban you.

Our rules are available in the server's description, in the chat with /rules and /info for our modded servers, as well as our connect page. We're unable to list micro rules in the server description due to the character limit. If an admin, someone devoted to enforcing server rules, says something is against the rules, that's a good indication that it is indeed against the rules.

I'm not sure what your endgame was after telling an admin they'd have to ban you because you weren't willing to remove your sign? I'm sure if you actually put effort into an appeal instead of blaming everyone but yourself for an issue you created, you'd have a great chance at having your ban reduced or even lifted. I hope this information serves you well.

Se,e it is about the rules and where to find them, because the admin that banned me told me it was against the rules and i had read every rule that was available for me to see, when I asked the admin to find the rule for me she was unable and just said "but its a rule" which to someone who is new and read every rule that is listed for them to see other than "micro rules" (which seem to carry the same weight as every other rule) seems suspicious that it'd a power hungry admin. if I was given proof it was a rule I would have listened, and you also expect me to learn the rules while banned when the only place ive been told to find the rules is by joining your server and typing /rules, not sure if you know this but its impossible when you're banned to do that.

the rules are almost a scavenger hunt to find, i was banned for a "political" sign, and when i was told to see the rules and was told to go to the FAQ and i found the "how do i find the rules" which told me to look at the server tab which said nothing about the political rules, after more searching for 20 or so minutes i found the rule in the announcments tab. i appealed my ban because i didnt see the rule listed, but it was declined because i didnt do a 3 hour scavenger hunt for the rules., which i still havent seen a full list of them all. so maybe make all the rules in one spot so i know what i can and cannot do when making signs that say "the communist peoples republic of the bush" i dont plan to rejoin this server, but to prevent power hungry robot admins maybe optimize your website or something, idk im not a pro at rust.

Hello Gryff, 

Thanks for taking the time to make an appeal.

Your friends ban and yours are completely unrelated, so I will not be addressing that in this forum. I noticed the sign on your base as we were next to it when I came over to confront your friend. I politely asked you to change the sign as it goes against RustEZ's stance on politics. Rather than comply, you spent 5 minutes trying to argue with me and kept saying "its just white and black on a sign" I kept asking you to change the sign and let you know that admins aren't here to argue the rules, but to uphold them. You followed this up with "So what, you're gonna ban be for a sign?" I replied that if you refused to comply with server rules, there are consequences. You replied "then I guess you'll have to ban me. its just a sign".

Considering your disregard for the rules, and attempt to bluff your way out of the ban, it will not be lifted. Spend the next 30 days reviewing the server rules and I hope to see you back as a wonderful member of the server.

if i can get another admin to review this instead of the one who banned me and isn't biased against me that be greeeeeeaaaaaaaaaat. also maybe try putting all your rules in one spot instead of making it a fuckin scavenger hunt

i was banned by Am Sullivan, i had a sign that said "The Communist peoples republic of the bush" and refused to take it down because everyone that had seen the sign enjoyed it, i even received messages in my mailbox about how they liked it, Am decided she needs to ban me for a month for a white sign with black text, rather than taking the sign from me and giving me a warning. this was moments after she accused my friend of stealing peoples items who is now permanently banned before he was given the option to give the items back. i feel my ban was unfair and due to me being associated with a suspected thief. not to mention we were showing two new players how to play rust and they have a toxic taste in their mouth because they don't know how to play and their friends were banned for no reason at all
