a 3/0 sc lauan

@Trann-EE-the-Trexthanks again for participating in the appeals process. i apologize this reply took some time, but i wanted to make sure i reviewed everything and spoke with the team in regard to this issue in between workdays this week. In reviewing the evidence logged by the team for each of your warnings, it's clear that these were all proper warnings for legitimate rule infractions. Generally, we'll afford a player three strikes before placing a ban on their account giving them ample opportunity to become familiar with our server rules and remain on the server as a rule abiding member of the community. In this case you were given 4 of those chances, being banned for the 5th infraction. We also take a look at other contributing factors such as time on the server, and/or general history as a helpful member of the community, which may all be taken into account in the decision to both place a ban, and further, overturn a ban on an appeal should things progress to that point such as in this instance. We do appreciate your well thought out and heartfelt ban appeal, and we also appreciate those times where you were a super helpful member of the community, both to individual members, as well as participating in those server wide events that make the monthly wipes fun for everyone! with that being said, we do have to enforce the server rules consistently for all members of our community, including VIP's, subscribers, or those that regularly make purchases from the website, and cannot offer preferential treatment to anyone beyond their actions within the game itself. At this point in time the ban will not be lifted, however we would encourage you to re-appeal at a later date if you choose to do so. Edit: After speaking further with the admins and player(s) involved, we have decided to accept your appeal upon the expiration of a 30 day temp ban beginning today. Please keep in mind that this is a one time ban reversal and any further infractions of this nature will result in your account being banned permanently. Please take the time in the meanwhile to review the server rules which include: No raiding, griefing, or looting of any kind. No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, racism, or harassment. No camping loot rooms, monuments, or any highly concentrated areas. No building around monuments, or large areas of unused land. You may build on rivers as long as you're not blocking passage for other players. You may build in caves but you must ensure safe passage for other players. No current real-world controversial topics or politics chat and/or imagery Pipes must only connect containers in close proximity and can not span large distances. You may promote yourself once every 24 hours. You may not promote communities. Welcome back (after the expiration of the temp ban) and we look forward to your return to the server as a rule abiding member of the community! 🙂 -A3

Thank you for participating in the appeals process! Your appeal has been recieved and a decision will be made/posted after a thorough review of the evidence available. -A3

Offender: joyeux Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 10:56PM EST Length: 7 Days Reason: Stealing and griefing More Info (Optional): on 12/29/2021 joyeux was found on the logs of a player with items reported missing. a warning was sent notifying joyeux of our policy regarding theft as well as a reminder to type /rules in chat to bring up the server rules and become familiar with them. on 1/17/2022 joyeux was again found on the logs of a players corpse with items that had been stolen. another warning was sent notifying them of the rules on our server, as well as a reminder to use /rules in chat. on 1/7/2025 a player reported their base was demolished and all of their items stolen. Upon investigation, i found that joyeux had both accessed all of the players vending machines, and was in possession of the items reported missing (a significant amount of wallpaper in amounts ranging from 19 to 30 per design). It was also noted that joyeux was killed by patrol heli just minutes before they accessed all of the vending machines stolen from. Given the repeated instances of theft from joyeux, as well as the escalating severity of how they're accessing other players items, and the effect it's having on the gameplay of others, a 7 day ban was placed on their account. The 7 day ban afford joyeux some leniency given the age of their prior two warnings.

Hello, and thank you for participating in the appeal process @The Great Reset I'm A3, the head admin on US Pure, and was asked to review your appeal. First, i'd like to clarify for you, that when issuing console warnings, admins are presented with a confirmation message letting them know that the warning in question has been delivered to the player it is being issued to. These messages display as a pop up on your screen in game that you cannot exit without clicking the "i understand" button at the bottom of the message. After reviewing the evidence collected by the admin team surrounding your infractions, you would have recieved 4 of these, and an additional one "not a warning" sent as a information to you when the admin team was forced to remove your excess tc's. Failure to read/understand these messages as they are recieved does not relieve you of your responsibility, and expectation to abide by the rules of the server which are applied consistently throughout our community, regardless of player status as vip/subscriber/regular member/amount of store purchases. Given the relatively low overall severity of your infractions, you were granted additional opportunities beyond where a ban would typically be placed, allowing you additional time to become familiar with the server rules, and continue to play as a rule abiding member of our community, however you continued to play and break rules in such a way that has significant impact on other members of the community who are attempting to enjoy their time with us, showing no remorse for those actions beyond your own ability to access the server, even now during the appeals process. At this point in time, the ban is justified, and will not be lifted. We wish you the best of luck finding a server that better fits your style of gameplay! -A3

Thank you for participating in the appeals process. While we do understand that English isn't your first language, the admin team did make an effort to translate all of your warnings leading up to the ban. The warning system is in place to ensure new players who aren't used to the PVE environment have an opportunity to turn things around long before receiving a ban. Your failure to acknowledge or read the warnings you were sent, unfortunately does not relieve you from the responsibility of abiding by the server rules and given the significant impact your SAM sites had among community members, it would be remiss of me to allow that to continue. the ban will not be lifted. We wish you the best of luck in finding a server that more closely fits your style of gameplay! Gracias por participar en el proceso de apelación. Si bien entendemos que el inglés no es su primer idioma, el equipo de administración hizo un esfuerzo por traducir todas las advertencias previas a la prohibición. El sistema de advertencia está implementado para garantizar que los nuevos jugadores que no están acostumbrados al entorno PVE tengan la oportunidad de cambiar las cosas mucho antes de recibir una prohibición. Desafortunadamente, el hecho de que no reconozca o lea las advertencias que le enviaron no lo exime de la responsabilidad de cumplir con las reglas del servidor y, dado el impacto significativo que sus sitios SAM tuvieron entre los miembros de la comunidad, sería negligente de mi parte permitir que eso suceda. continuar. la prohibición no se levantará. ¡Te deseamos la mejor de las suertes para encontrar un servidor que se ajuste mejor a tu estilo de juego! -A3

Offender: HUNT3R Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 10:00 AM EST Length: Permanent Reason: Griefing More Info (Optional): on 12/27 following reports of a player being shot down by an active SAM site, i investigated the area the player mentioned they were flying in while shot down. I found HUNT3R's base as the only one in the area with a pair of active SAM sites on towers above their base along with a significant amount of loaded flame turrets, and shotgun traps in the open and able to target players passing by. HUNT3R was warned in English and Spanish at this time that traps, and turrets are allowed however they must be close to or within their base and shouldn't be set in a manner that targets innocent players walking or flying by. HUNT3R was asked to type /rules in chat to bring up the server rules and avoid any further infractions of this nature. Their traps/turrets able to target other players were also unloaded and/or placed in defender mode at this time. on 12/29 HUNT3R was warned for stealing the contents of a players backpack and stole items from it after the backpack owner died near them. HUNT3R was again sent a warning notifying them of the rules of the server and reminding them to use /rules in chat to bring up and become familiar with our servers' rules regarding theft. again on 12/29 HUNT3R logged in and reloaded all their traps and SAM sites, and set them to target all, resulting in another member of the community losing their mini heli. HUNT3R was again warned in English and Spanish that having their traps and turrets set in such a manner only harms other players and does not target the patrol helicopter or animals in case they had placed them for that reason. HUNT3R's traps were placed in defender mode and unloaded for a second time. on 12/30 a third player reported being shot at from SAM sites in the same area as HUNT3R's base. Upon investigation i found that their SAM sites had been reloaded again and placed into target all mode, resulting in the SAM sites again targeting players modes of transportation. At this time the decision was made to place a ban on their account to prevent any further griefing of players flying around the map as well as players passing by HUNNT3R's base. The traps and turrets were unloaded again, so no further members of the community should be targeted by this base.

thank you for participating in the appeal process! While i understand that you feel there may have been a language barrier regarding your understanding of the rules, when you were initially spoken to verbally by the responding admin and explained the rules of the server regarding player harassment, you verbally confirmed in voice chat that you understood what they were telling you. upon receipt of your second warning- for stealing, the responding admin included in the warning that if you need your warning translated, all you had to do was ask. No admins on our team received any such request from you. At this time, given the nature of the infractions in your short amount of time on our server, the ban will not be lifted. We hope you find a server better suited to your style of gameplay! 感谢您参与上诉过程！ 虽然我知道您觉得您对规则的理解可能存在语言障碍，但当响应管理员最初与您口头交谈并解释服务器有关玩家骚扰的规则时，您在语音聊天中口头确认您明白他们在告诉你什么。 在收到您的第二次偷窃警告后，响应管理员在警告中添加了以下内容：如果您需要翻译警告，您只需询问即可。 我们团队的管理员没有收到您的任何此类请求。 目前，鉴于您在我们服务器上短时间内的违规行为性质，禁令不会被解除。 我们希望您找到更适合您游戏风格的服务器！ -A3

Thank you for appealing. With the current cancel culture in the world, racism in all aspects of society is being closely scrutinized. While we do understand that it still heavily permeates music, comedy, movies, and other media, it is something we do not feel is appropriate to have in our servers. Words such as what were used on your account, are not welcome in any context. This is plainly stated on the server's loading screen before you enter. Additionally, this is also stated on Facepunch's Terms of Service. https://support.facepunchstudios.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007485418-Banned-for-Racism-Homophobia Here are resources that you can explore to learn more: guidetoallyship.com https://guidetoallyship.com/ Anti-Racism Glossary https://guides.library.georgetown.edu/antiracism/glossary Anti-Racism Resources https://medschool.duke.edu/about-us/equity-diversity-inclusion/resources/anti-racism-resources The ban will not be lifted. You are solely responsible for what happens on your account. We wish you the best of luck.

you're all set 🙂 if you happen to see something like that in the future and it doesnt immediately ban you, please call an admin and/or toss it on the ground to despawn. welcome back! -A3

Offender: Jeffhuatua Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 10:25AM EST Length: Permanent Reason: Harassment More Info (Optional): on 12/15 a player reported a pattern of harassment directed towards them by their neighbor, in which jeffhuatua was shooting at, following, and jumping on their neighbor who asked them to stop multiple times. Shortly after the admin took the report from and spoke to the player jeffhuatua logged in and immediately began their harassing behavior while the admin was present and watching. Jeffhuatua was then spoken to verbally by the admin who took the report and explained the server rules regarding this matter to which jeffhuatua replied that they understood what they were being told. shortly afterwards on 12/15 jeffhuatua was found to have stolen a significant amount of sulfur from a players furnace, and was caught running away from the players base who they stole from and were in possession of the sulfur that was reported to be missing. another console warning was issued to jeffhuatua notifying them that stealing is against the rules of the server and if they had any further questions or clarification to reach out to staff. on 12/16 jeffhuatua logged in and began to follow and harass their neighbor from the original report again, and was again asked to leave, with jeffhuatua persisting with the harassment until they logged off. Given their short amount of time on our server, and an already 5 day running pattern of harassing their neighbor it's become apparent jeffhuatua has no intention of following the server rules, and a permanent ban was placed on their account to prevent them further harassing their neighbor or any other member of our community.

Hi @chadalack I'm A3, the head admin on US Pure. After receiving the request to review your ban, I went back into our evidence logs to ensure the facts surrounding this ban are correct. After my review of the evidence, i can see that you did in fact receive two warnings last month (on the 27th as well as the 29th) for the same infractions of laddering/twigging onto other players bases as evidenced by the multiple logs posted above in the original ban post. Regarding todays incident, I reviewed the investigation, as well as the logs on the player in question, and while you may not have taken any items from the players sleeper, it's still against the server rules to access items, players, sleepers, vehicles or deployables that don't belong to you. additionally, it's also against the server rules to enter another player's base without permission unless that base is clearly marked as being open and accessible to the public. the base in question was fully secured with the exception of a hole in the roof which had to be parkoured up on to to be accessed. Given the evidence logged here, as well as having been given three strikes allowing you plenty of opportunity to become a rule abiding member of our community, it's my opinion that the ban is just at this time and will not be lifted. We wish you the best of luck finding another community that's better suited to your style of gameplay. -A3

Hi @SNIP3RS3RPENT! Head on over to https://rustez.com/help/ and submit a ticket there, and when one of the staff members able to deal with store purchases is able to they'll take care of that for you 🙂

Offender: Jose Nogueira [PTY] Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 12:21PM EST Length: Permanent Reason: Stealing More Info (Optional): on 11/10 Jose was found to have stolen another players minicopter as soon as they landed it, and left the area. The responding admin found Jose in possession of the mini, and secured it to return the heli to it's rightful owner. Jose was warned that stealing, including players modes of transportation is against the server rules and that they should type /rules in chat to become familiar with the server rules. on 11/11 while observing another player, i watched Jose fly in on a mini and steal that players personal supply drop. The items were removed from Jose's inventory and returned to their owner. Once again Jose was sent a warning notifying them that stealing including other players personal supply drops is against the server rules and that they should type /rules into chat to bring up the server rules to prevent further infractions and/or being banned on our servers. on 11/12 While assisting another player with items stolen from their corpse, i watched Jose fly in on their mini and loot a different players corpse at Dome. Jose has been given ample opportunity to be a rule abiding member of the rust EZ community and has continued to steal from other players trying to enjoy and/or learn the game. Given their short time on our server, and the frequency of infractions, a permanent ban has been placed on Jose's account.

Thank you for appealing. The note in question did, in fact, save and the logs confirm this. The autoban would not have triggered otherwise.

Your account was banned for griefing and stealing after quite a few incidents. This kind of behavior is not tolerated on any of the RustEZ servers. That being said, you will get a second chance. Just one. Take a few minutes before rejoining and refresh yourself on the rules to avoid any chance of breaking them. If you are unclear on any of them, or aren't sure what is permitted, reach out to the staff and we'll be happy to clarify them for you. ● No raiding, griefing or looting of any kind. ● No mic or chat spam, player disrespect, politics, racism or harassment. ● No camping loot rooms, monuments or any highly concentrated areas. ● You may build in caves, but you must ensure safe passage for other players. ● No blocking water ways, building around monuments or large areas of unused land. (Please read the splash page as well, as each server type has slight variations regarding specific features of those servers.) Welcome back. (Please bear in mind, this is a one-time ban reversal. No further rule infractions of this nature can happen. Thank you!) -A3

Admins should be helping everyone regardless of their relationship with the player(s) in need of assistance. I'll admit, theres been players plenty of times that i cant stand, or who i feel will undoubtedly earn themselves a ban, however i go out of my way to help them just the same as multi-year regulars. On the flip side of that, there are certainly times where "assistance" may not look or feel like it, and unfortunately that's part of the policies we must follow at times, such as a case where a mini is stolen for example. I can be provided all the screenshots in the world that it existed, however i cant replace it unless i'm able to ascertain it was actually stolen and/or crashed, which at times can be difficult. I would suggest, if you truly feel an admin is exhibiting favoritism or other poor behavior, to bring it up to the head admin of your server or, if it is the head in question, to leadership. Staff members and their roles can be found in the help tab of the website under "staff"

I did address their help ticket, unfortunately at this point (prior wipe not existing anymore) the issue cannot be investigated further however any steps able to be taken during the investigation at the time of report were taken.

Offender: De4thXwIsH Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 2:48 AM EST Length: 3 days Reason: Looting More Info (Optional): on 6/8 De4thXwIsH was found to have looted another players corpse, claiming it to be their teammates. Their teammate DID die near the player that was looted and the benefit of the doubt was given at the time. De4thXwIsH was still informed about the rules regarding stealing and accessing other players inventories and urged to be more careful in the future. also, on 6/8 De4thXwIsH was found to have accessed a player's base via exploit and stole a significant number of items from a vending machine and BBQ. Further investigation revealed De4thXwIsH was in possession of the exact items/skins the base owner had reported missing and was again warned at that time for violating the server rules and asked to use /rules in chat to bring up the server rules and become familiar with them to avoid any further issues on our server. on 7/8 De4thXwIsH was found to have placed floor spikes against another player's base. De4thXwIsH was warned and advised that this is considered griefing and that traps should only be placed within their own building privilege. on 9/9 while investigating the report of a theft by another player, i found De4thXwIsH's name on the logs of the containers that were stolen from. While I don't believe De4thXwIsH actually stole anything in this particular instance, accessing a players base/inventories/storage without their permission/via exploit (through window bars) is still against the server rules, and given their lengthy history in only a few months of game time on our server, a temporary ban was placed on their account with the hopes that some time to reflect on these actions may curb this behavior, as I believe De4thXwIsH has the ability to be a great asset to our community.

Hello, and thanks for taking part in the appeals process! in order to help you further, what is/was your in game name and which server were you playing on?

sorry you had that happen to you! it this happened in this months (current) wipe, please reply here or DM me with a list of items you're missing along with quantities, skins, attachments, and any other identifying information and we'll try to get your things back for you! -A3

Offender: точно девушка!! Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 12:13AM EST Length: Permanent Reason: Stealing and griefing More Info (Optional): on 2/23 while investigating a theft report, точно showed on the logs of the players sleeper with items reported missing. точно was warned in English and Russian at that time that stealing is not allowed on our server and that they should type /rules in chat to bring up and become familiar with the server rules. on 9/5 While patrolling the map, I found a base that had been twigged onto by точно without the base owner's permission. I removed the twig from the base and sent точно another warning in English and Russian notifying them that player and/or base griefing, including twigging onto other players bases was against the rules and that they should use /rules in chat to become familiar with the server rules as any further infractions could result in a ban from our server. on 9/6 While watching точно after they logged in to the server, I witnessed them enter a player's base, authorize on their TC, and access whatever storage containers weren't locked. Given their two prior warnings for attempting to access other players belongings, including the last one only a day ago, it was decided to place a ban on точно's account to avoid any other players being impacted by точно's toxic gameplay.

Offender: Basil Ebenezer Battlemetrics | Steam Server: US Pure Time: 3:16PM EST Length: Permanent Reason: Stealing and Griefing More Info (Optional): Basil was previously temp banned on EU Pure for stealing and griefing however no notes were logged stating what offenses they might have committed. After a report on the website concerning Basil stealing and griefing other players I logged on to investigate what happened. The reporting players submitted video evidence of Basil stealing from their teammates corpse, as well as griefing and trying to steal their attack helicopter. Further investigation also revealed that basil had twigged onto other players bases without their permission. Consistent with a players return from a temp ban being their "last chance" a ban was placed on Basil's account for these offences.

do you have any screenshots or video evidence of this to assist in the investigation by chance?

this issue has been handled in game in accordance with our discipline policy, unfortunately the player in question does not have any items or a sleeper on the map so any loot missing will not be able to be recovered. if you or any of the involved players have any questions or concerns please feel free to dm me 🙂 a3
