Regardless of if there are minors or not you cant warn someone and then ban them within second of said warning after they had already stopped. This is twice tonight that your admin team fails to warn and leads directly to punishment with no forgiveness.

THATS LITERALLY what im talking about dude you didnt tell me why to stop or anything< what your saying is if you tell anyone to stop they will get perma banned? that sounds like genuine abuse of power like i said ive had a warning before but you simply felt the need to ban me i know you told me to stop but i was finishing my jokes and eventually did stop which is why i see your ban as excessive and uncalled for. I genuinely need more of an explanation for a ban< a warning would be more understandable but i shouldnt be fighting you for a ban that YOU put because YOU have a biased opinion i would like this to be escelated to other mods and admins as you only screenshotted you saying to stop but you didnt issue a warning nothing. no one was reporting me and i was harming no one and since im banned only you can pull the chat logs i would have loved to defend myself at least through a warning

its genuinely not my fault there shouldnt be kids in this server it should be moderated by their parents and this server should moderate the flow of people in and out of the server and i dont see the gaslighting because they were responding as well i wasnt going at them with negative intentions and if you wanna post the chat post the entire chat please. i dont just want your word of mouth i want you to show the whole chat and the responses the people had. this is why im saying you are biased as you think you know that i was gaslighting when in reality it was a whole different thing and i @ed them as a joke if they wanted to continue the joke it would be continued but there was a moment where MissHazelnut included herself and when she put "..." i simply stopped and i understand but like i said it was merely a joke for people to partake in And if your worried about minors maybe you guys should become a 18+ server since the game itself is 18+ and shouldnt allow minors in the game 

I literally had no other reason to ask you to stop nor did you ask me for any clarification on why i asked you to stop.  You acknowledged my request by deciding to antagonize and state "yall some pessimistic mfs" and then continuing with more lewd banter.

As for banning within "seconds", the ban was issued until 5 minutes later.

As for the minor issue, there is no legal or physical means to gain access to personally identifiable information in which to screen players for age authenticity.   Should parents monitor the activities of their childeren?  Idealy, yes.  

Server rules state no harrassment, to include sexual harrassment, which excessive innuendo falls under with or without players expressing like or dislike.  You acknowledge these rules when you first join the server.

As i stated in your initial post.  Please refer all replies here.

Hello,

Thank you for appealing.

Joke or not, or whether anyone was comfortable or uncomfortable with the way you were chatting.  I aksed you via in-game chat to please stop.   Even though Rust is a mature-rated game.  There will inevitably be minors who find their way onto the servers and it sets a bad precedence for the whole community if it continued.  Along with that, you made multiple attempts  in chat to gaslight/bait others into your conversation with @'s at specific players as well as  self-insert yourself and lewd conversations that had no sexual connotations, let alone anything to do with you to begin with.

The ban will remain in place.

I was banned with no warning and no one told me to stop or simply simmer down just a ban threat. Makes no sense if people were uncomfortable i wouldnt mind stopping but this aint professional of a server especially with the in server mods banning me so fast. It really makes no sense. the first warning i understand but i was simply joking around and being friendy. Would really love to be unbanned and if im banned at least make a good reason for it

You were communicating in a very sexual and innapropriate manner.  I asked you to please stop along with a few other players who actively alluded to situation you were putting yourself in, but you kept on regardless. 

Please move any further replies to your appeal to the official ban posting here:

Server: US Survival

Time: 06:25 AM AST

Length: Permanent

Reason: Inappropriate Chat

Info:  Player was chatting in a very sexually charged manner.  Player was asked to stop, but continued chatting with the same lewd banter regardless.  Evidence available upon request.

Hello,

Thank you for appealing the ban.

After reading your response, considering the nature of your past warnings, and speaking to the owner of the quarry and base again (who is new to the server and was not familiar with securing their belongings).  I have decided to lift your ban.

Please be mindful in the future to never assume that anything built or placed by another player is abandoned without their express permission first.  Sometimes players have to log out mid construction for a myriad of reasons and may not login for a while due to real life circumstances and commitments.  Which was the circumstance of the victim.

Server: US Survival

Time: 7:54 AM HST

Length: Permanent

Reason: Stealing

Info:  Player blatantly stole from another player by siphoning off resources by piping off an unsecured quarry to a nearby base.  Due to a slew of previous warnings including a final warning issued by the head US Survival admin.  A permanent ban was issued.

Offender: LΣWIS   (battlemetrics / steam)

Server: US Survival
Time: 5:59 PM EST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Toxicity and ban baiting

Player joined the server and immediately began harrassing and griefing other players in the chat.  Screenshots available upon request.

Thank you for submitting an appeal,

Considering your playtime on the server,  the languauge used in which resulted in the Auto-Ban, and the fact you made multiple attempts to rejoin the server without appealing the ban and only finally doing so about 20 days after the fact.  The ban will remain in place.

Unless overidden by a higher authority, the ban will remain in place.

Hello CTG, i am one of the admins for US Survival.  I checked loot logs for all entities and containers associated with your quarry and pumpjacks and did not find any other players that accessed them.  I also saw that your quarry is outputting HQM and stone.  Considering you havent upgraded the quarry, 8000 stone sounds about right for the output for that amount of fuel, so im assuming the only thing yourr're missing is the HQM?

Server: US Survival

Time: 4:24 PM HST

Length: Permanent

Reason: Language (homophobia), ban-baiting, trolling.

Info:  Player joined the server with two other players (hudsonlouro4 and Ho Chi Minh Gaming, both of whom were banned via chat-filter).  Had to ban manually due to player skirting the chat filter.

Even if you were being trolled or coerced to write what you did on that note.  You are still ultimately responsible for what you say or type in chat to include notes and other text-assignables.  Unless overturned by a higher authority, the ban will stand.

Who is the player in question?  Did you see them physically stealing loot?

Reason: Looting and disrespecting/ignoring admins

Info: Player was reported by other players for stealing loot from the NPC garrison in which he did not play any role in gaining access to.  After ignoring the responding admin (Babybee), player was then temporarily confined in a cell in an attempt to start a dialogue with them and explain the rules.  Player remained adamantly silent with the exception of stating that they do have a microphone, but does not want to speak as well as asking for notes and writing offensive messages on them.

Reason: Harassment and entering player bases

Other:  Player was running around and yelling at other players unintelligibly through his muffled microphone.  A mute was issued by admin Rayne.  Player was then reported by several players breaking into their bases.  After forcefully teleporting the player away from one of these instances and issuing a verbal warning, player then returned to the same base and tried to enter once more.

Reason: Racism and pedophilia.

There is an absolute zero tolerance policy for racism on RustEZ servers.  So much so that it is an instantly banable offense through filtering.  Rules are clearly displayed on the server description. Rules are also displayed by default upon logging into the server for the first time, and each time the server wipes anew. By joining the server and clicking continue on the login page, you agreed to abide by said rules. Unless overridden by a higher authority, the ban will remain in place.

The no raiding rule is clearly displayed on the title of the server and the server description below it.  Rules are also displayed by default upon logging into the server for the first time and each time the server wipes anew.  By joining the server and clicking continue on the loggin page, you agreed to abide by said rules.  Unless overriden by a higher authority, the ban will remain in place.

Time: 12:51 AM HST
Length: Permanent
Reason: Raiding, Griefing, Indecent signage
More Info: Player was able to access to a base and gain access to an unlock TC and proceeded to loot everything.  The player then griefed the base with innapropriate signs as well as renamed a sleeping bag owned by another player in a similarly inappropriate manner.

Ban lifted as per my response in your original ban report.

Considering your apology and that the Admin who issued the ban is no longer active.  I've decided to lift your ban.  Please familiarize yourself with the rules upon logging into the server.  

I understand the sentimate as well as acknowledge that there are certain "niceties" and common courtesies that develop outside of the general scope of the advertised rules of the server(s).  Such as leaving trees around those who built/like to base in wooden areas.  But as mentioned ealier, all resources are ultimately publicly available assets regardless of the afformentioned courtesies.   We thank you for being a long-time member of the server and we hope you stay around for a lot longer more.  If relations between you and the other player continue to sour to the point of physical griefing, harrassing, defamation of character, racism, sexism, etc.  Please let us know

As rubiks-q-bert mentioned above.  Procedurally placed/generated resources such as trees are free game to everyone on the server.  We have reviewed the offending players' (Jenn) behavior and determined that what apparent toxicity was displayed by the afformentioned player was juvenile/grade school level in a nature and was in retaliation of you attempting to deny them a publicly available resource.
