Ban Appeal - Spinach - 03-27-2022
Your Name: Spinach
Your SteamID: [color=var(--link-color-hover)]76561198126025317[/color]
Reason for ban: I forget what its called but the thing where you can't go back to an area you recently died in.
Length of ban: 1 day
Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I was told to not return to the area I was just killed in. I explained to the admin that this has not been a point of concern from any other admin in my past two days on the server, and was not even aware of said rule being enforced, but he said this would be my first warning as a learning experience. If my memory serves me he specifically told me I had to wait 5 minutes before returning to an area. Roughly 5 minutes later I returned to the area in question, and I was brought back before the admin. He told me I violated the rule he just taught me and would be banning me. I asked about the "5 minute rule", to which he said it was actually 15 minutes. I also asked what happened to the "3 warnings" he discussed earlier, he said they no longer apply.
Why should you be unbanned?: I don't feel its fair to ban me for a full day for an honest mistake when I just started playing on this server a few days ago. The rule in question had not been enforced up until today, and I don't think it was fair to ban me after an honest miscommunication about said rule.

A rule you perceived to not be enforced does not mean it doesn't exist nor should it not be punished for.
I will unban you on the condition that you read our rules: https://divergenet.works/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=34

The ban will be lifted from your account shortly.
