ChinaBeChillin Ban Appeal

[ChinaBeChillin]

Your Name: Romen 'Happy' Lockheart

Your SteamID (Click to retrieve): STEAM_0:0:147780586

Reason for ban: AFK at slots

Length of ban: 12 hours

Reason for appeal (dispute/apology): I decided to quickly make a macro to play slots so I could use the bathroom, I come back a couple minutes later to an admin banning me.

Why should you be unbanned? I haven't done anything like this before and I only did it once thinking I could make it back in time and not get in trouble, It was a dumb mistake and I won't do it again, I'll make sure to re-read the rules of the server. I shouldn't be banned for 12 hours for going afk for 3 minutes.

This is not the kind of things that staff should be putting their priorities into. At most this should have been a kick or a verbal warning, especially if the player had no prior bans for this issue. These kind of things are what creates a tear between the playerbase and the staff. That isn't to say harsh punishments shouldn't be handed out, because in certain situations, thats the only way the player will learn from the mistake they made...
However, this situation, is not one of those situations. Although punishment is at staff discretion, this is a bit ridiculous considering the player: Didn't RDM or ruin another players experience, didn't have a prior ban on record for AFKing, may not have even KNOWN about the rule surrounding this, and never received an ample warning before his ban.

The use of a Macro is against our rules as it bypasses an afk system to abuse the slot machines.

However seeing as this is your first ban and you went through the process of creating an appeal I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
