Permanent Mutes shouldn't be there

I was permanently muted for leaking someone's information but i did it as a joke and the info leaked wasn't even real I just put a random state and asked my friend if he lived there. I am permanently muted now and my appeal was denied and now I don't know what to do. I been playing mineplex since 2014 and it was my favorite server but now it's just a joke. I agree for timed mutes but permanent?? That makes 0 sense now i might just not play mineplex anymore.

 

I disagree with removing permanent mutes for leaking information. The magnitude of those actions are extreme and could put someone in danger if the personal information is accurate. If the information sounds legitimate, it would be impossible to prove that you were joking. Since your appeal has been denied, my advice is to message the forum manager that denied your appeal, so they can go into further depth and give you some pointers for your future appeals.

 

I didn't even know that asking what state someone lived in was leaking private information even. And plus, even if I have tips in the future, I am permanently muted so it makes no sense.

 

Hey there!

As the players above stated, saying a state alone does not warrant a punishment which means you must have gone into more detail about certain aspects. You can check to see what you said by checking your punishment history by doing /ph, and there should be quotes as to what you have said or if it is a report. If it is a report, feel free to message a moderator and I am sure they would be happy to help you out in figuring out what you said to warrant this punishment. On to your main topic, saying that permanent mutes should not be there. I am going to have to disagree with that especially with what we have stated at mineplex.com/rules. I do feel that those do warrant a permanent mute. As some of the players stated above, breaking some of these rules could put someone's security at risk causing them to feel unsafe. In the end, it is up to the members of Rules Committee, so feel free to message one of them. You can find a list of them at mineplex.com/rules!


I am sorry you were muted, however, even though it is a permanent mute, you can still appeal! Feel free to appeal at mineplex.com/appeals! Once you are there you would click on "Appeal Punishment." At the top it does remind you to read over the punishment appeal guide found here which has great information that will tell you how to fill out a successful appeal and what to expect. If you have any evidence to help your case feel free to add it into the appeal and the Appeals Team will gladly take a look at it. Before you appeal, please understand that you are not guaranteed an unmute if you appeal. Your appeal will be determined based on its content, our (private) appeal criteria, and/or sole discretion of each individual staff in some cases.
