As you guys know, I normally never publish names of people’s emails – unless they decide to drag the topic into the public themselves. Well, we are again at the point where someone could not leave an issue be where it was but decided to take it to the next level…
So here is the story: I was looking randomly at the console and see a guy spamming /give commands. So I think “If you think you can try to cheat, I can show you that this stuff does not go unnoticed” and ban him. 10 minutes later I get the first email. Here is the whole conversation:
- MichaelChopsWood: Why have I been banned from your server?
- Me:because of this:02:26:07 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 1 64 0
02:26:08 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 1 64 0
02:26:10 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 80 64 0
02:26:12 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 266 64 0
02:26:13 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 265 64 0
02:26:14 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 264 64 0
02:26:24 [INFO] MichaelChopsWood issued server command: /give MichaelChopsWood 373 64 8195Further questions?
- MichaelChopsWood:I thought you were aloud, I thought you wernt aloud the x-ray mod?Am I banned for ever?
- Me: You are allowed what is on the website.
The system tells you that you are not allowed to use the /give command on top of that.Yes, you are banned forever. - MichaelChopsWood: Can I make an appeal?
- Me: Let me lay it out to you:
- You chose a survival lot, NOT a creative one. Still you tried to give yourself items with a command. You tried to cheat. That’s why you got banned.
- If you thought this was allowed, it means you did not read the website. That’s another issue we ban people for.
- I am the server owner. I banned you and told you that it is forever. There is no one you could appeal to except myself.
- You also did not read the website regarding bans.
So here is the answer to your question: http://uncovery.me/bans-appeals-second-chances/
- MichaelChopsWood:I have just read the webstie regarding bans, and im not aloud to appeal, but I am.
My plan is to finsh my plan for what i was doing on my plot and send it to you, becuase in my opinoun it was a good plan.I understand if you have to deny my appeal because now I see what I did wrong. But im still going to send you the plan.Furthermore, when i was further into my plan I was going to film a minecraft lets build and put it on my youtube channel which has 212 subscribers - Me: I do not care about your plan.
I do not care about your Youtube Channel.
Even if you had 10’000 subscribers. Even if you were notch himself.There are however 10’000 other servers out there.
Go find one for you. Mine is closed for you. - MichaelChopsWood: Im still going to send it to you.
- MichaelChopsWood: [Sends me a pic of some half-finished non-impressive castle]
Then he starts posting on Facebook. Here is the screenshot, just in case:
Just hilarious. This is the reason why I still answer those emails.
Lol, I’m still laughing.
Lol michael can’t even spell neighbour
I don’t get it, did he actually get stuff from that command? and if he didn’t I don’t see the harm in it.
No, he did not. But I do not want to have people on the server who spend time just trying to find a weakness to exploit it. If I see that I rather ban them right away instead of waiting until they are successful.
It’s like someone standing outside your door trying to pick your lock. Either you leave them there, trying and think: “well, he did not get in and steal anything yet”, or you make sure he gets the hell out of there.
Well… I never thought of it that way! XD
Wow, that MichaelChopsWood. What was he thinking? Caught red handed trying to use /give and he creates a story about his “famous” youtube channel. He thinks he can fame his way out of a ban? 212 subs isn’t extraordinary. And if michael had 212 subs he wouldn’t have built a crappy castle. I mean it would make sense if he was part of voxel, but no.
Seriously michael?
why did he even think it would work anyway… O.o
Lol he doesnt even have 212 subs, he has 1 D
XD
Hahahha, Does he have any videos at all?
I love how he initially says “this server is rubbish!” then that it was “a good server” when you start commenting. I saw him last night repeatedly relogging in a short amount of time. Wondered if something was up. Good riddance. Makes room for another potential shining star! :)
If I could up your comment, I would! XD
Heh heh heh. he came to my lot once asking if he could build.
Said no.
He started whining.
I left the server and played BF3.
Came back, whined at me then left.
If only Michael had chopped more wood.
Some people are just to persistent. Jeez if he used his traits for a good thing…. He wouldn’t be here xD
“Me: Even if you had 10’000 subscribers. Even if you were notch himself.There are however 10’000 other servers out there. Go find one for you. Mine is closed for you. ”
Not meaning to nitpick… but didn’t we ban notch, too? ;-)
Bahahaha! I remember that! Man, that was so long ago. Guy joined on a hacked client under the name “Notch” and was banned by unco shortly after he got on.
Uncovery (IRC) “PINE BAN HIM NOW!”.
Always watching
I lost it at, “I have just read the webstie regarding bans, and im not aloud to appeal, but I am.”
Cool! So you read the website after getting banned and you aren’t allowed to appeal, but you will! Good luck!
Or that he is so stupid that he would ignore a rule, even though he is trying to not be banned for not following another rule? Uh…. huh….. That totally makes sense….
*insert WTF face here*
Dat video post at the end. Fantastic! You ought to link that in your bans and appeals article Unc.
Wow, that’s a total moron for ya. X3 Oh well. That’s one less we’ll have to put up with now. :3
i’ve been to Redditch before.. Horrible place >:[
Well, at least we didn’t have to deal with him very much.
The guy has 1 subscriber and no videos up. -_-
Man he is SO lazy. It shows me he even cant chop wood. That the number ONE step of playing survival in mine craft. He really annoys me. Good work uncovery :) Why should even Micheal even have his own channel, he cant even chop wood. That is the easiest thing to do in mine craft. Maybe his only one subscriber is his family member. And why wont he just store wood instead of just cheating. He also can save some server money and buy some wood. What a lazy guy. Now we have one less annoying person in our hands.
for those who cant be bothered typing the link :

Thanks for the laugh Unk. So glad I found this place.
We should put a ban appeal section and it just has this picture!
