    I will not vote on this yet, however I will give some input for now.


    Posting links to materials (such as a full episode of SpongeBob SquarePants) that infringes copyright violates rule 1a of the Discord rules. Those who have committed similar offenses should also be sanctioned. You may think this is stupid, but it's necessary to avoid any copyright-related legal bullshit.

    You knew what you were doing was wrong.

    I made it quite clear that cheating and exploiting was not allowed, and you knew it wasn't. You continued to cheat and hack even after you had been sanctioned by myself for it. I initially told you to stop cheating, and you ignored me. I then smited you for cheating, which you once again ignored.
    [...]
    On top of this actual sanction, I told you numerous times not to cheat, and that it was against the rules. You ignored me and continued anyways.

    True. From the point you told me to stop using hacks, I just started doing it merely to mess with you.

      RedEastWood By cheating, you are breaking skyblock rules. I (as the owner) explicitly told you that cheating was against the rules

    Now, to be fair, "cheating" means to act dishonestly or unfairly to gain an advantage. I was just using a hacked client to mess with you, which has no advantages whatsoever. Also, the rules you're referring to said this at the time, which doesn't say you can't use hacks.

    "I was doing this to prove a point"

    Point blank, you weren't, and this time it isn't my word vs your word, its your word vs your word. You were doing this "for the lulz" and to take the piss.

    It was a multitude of reasons, which included taking the piss and proving a point. I've said this already.

      RedEastWood I don't understand why you felt this was at all appropriate, considering this is a TF server - would you do shit like this on the FR01 server "for the lulz"?


    https://eastwood.red/PJUTI8fj

    No, because...

    1. I don't want to do it on the freedom server

    2. There is no reason to do it on the freedom server

    3. The gameplay for the freedom and skyblock gamemodes are completely different in such a way that people wouldn't give a fuck if someone did it on the freedom server

    4. I wouldn't be able to considering the freedom servers are in online mode

      RedEastWood The only point you have against me was the fact that you weren't banned on all of the accounts. To be fair, I did confuse me smiting you with me banning you since it was so long ago, but I do apologise for claiming that I banned your accounts. But your entire defence is only about that one slip-up on my end. You haven't defended yourself on why you shouldn't be suspended, and rightfully so since this suspension was fully justified (something you claim yourself)


    https://eastwood.red/czWStO0d

    The reply was intended to defend myself from the claims that I was "attacking" the server, which many read thinking I did something horrid as DDoSing or spambotting the server when in reality it was much more petty than that.

      RedEastWood The end point here is essentially that you broke server rules, ignored the owner telling you to not do something, logged in with a load of alts and hacked simply to annoy the owner (as is self admitted), and you fully deserve this suspension. It isn't even that long, it's just seven days.

    I never said I shouldn't be suspended. With that being said, there is something which nobody seems to be pointing out. Why have I been suspended now and not back then? What's with the long delay between the night of the incident and the suspension itself? If my actions were not severe enough to warrant immediate or close-to-immediate action, then what's the point of taking action at all?

      RedEastWood In MDT, it was on the 18th. In BST (where you're at, if I recall correctly), it began on the 18th with Herobrine and continued into the 19th for about... 34 minutes (the last session in your timezone finished at 00:34) with ip_check.


    Edit: 19th, not 9th

    Square just committed the horrible crime of calling Windows 7's UI "ugly as shit" on my thread highlighting the glorious and perfect UI the OS had.

    He must be cancelled for committing such a horrible hate crime.

    Personally, I prefer a phone that lasts long, doesn't fucking shatter into pieces upon being dropped, can have its battery replaced easily, won't give you bullshit about the battery not being genuine, has a headphone jack, and can be easily customized. The iPhone unfortunately has none of that without using modifications.

    Defending myself

    Before I begin, I will include an incredibly important piece of logs here for you to keep in mind. This error only comes up when my Minecraft client is interrupted while it is writing a packet. Scenarios like this only happen when it's interrupted on the server-side (meaning I was kicked from the server). This does not occur when I disconnect on my own accord. I will be using this to differentiate instances of me disconnecting on my own accord vs. getting kicked/banned.

    For some reason, the Skyblock server gave my client a real hard time whenever I joined it. I have excluded the errors caused by the Skyblock server that came up every time I joined to keep the logs readable.

    "He was banned multiple times"

    A claim frequently brought up throughout this thread is that I was ban bypassing "multiple times". A claim like this requires evidence of me knowing I was banned in the first place and showing intent to bypass in the first place. The opposing side has yet to present evidence that shows any of the following:

    1. I was banned at all before EvaXephon
    2. I knew I was banned in the first place, and intentionally bypassed my ban to get around it

    Until I read this thread, I was completely unaware that my previous names were even banned in the first place. I had assumed that I was only banned by IP and under the username EvaXephon. Until I was banned under EvaXephon, I had not received a ban message.


    I've included the client-side logs of my sessions on the Skyblock server, along with the username I used. In between bluewestwood and cat, I believe my connection was throttled and I had issues connecting. However, on my end I was only getting blank disconnected messages. After a few seconds, I was able to get on though. This also occurred between ballsack and CuckedFunningly.

    It is in EvaXephon's logs where you see a unique message about failing to write packets. As I previously mentioned before, this only comes up when the client is interrupted (usually by getting kicked or banned whilst online) whilst it's writing a packet to send to the server, not when leaving on your own accord. This would explain why it only shows up in the EvaXephon session, and not the others. The point I'm trying to make here is simple: I wasn't kicked with a ban message until the name EvaXephon was banned, which means either I was banned before but I didn't know because I was not kicked with a ban message yet or the claim I was banned or bypassed more than once intentionally is completely false. I bypassed only once, and I made it perfectly clear what I was joining for in the username ip_check.


    I'll admit my handling with ip_check wasn't great and could have been better, but there's nothing I can do about it now except learn and move on.

    "He hacked and cheated multiple times"

    True. Most of the anticheat detections were from me deliberately setting it off (using fly and going off an edge repeatedly) to mess with Red. I'm cheeky like that.

      RedEastWood I just checked and all logs have been lost since we moved to Superior Network’s infrastructure - so I will leave that point as it’s essentially just my word against yours which doesn’t do anything for either of us.

    Minecraft logs things on the client-side as well. When I wake up in a few hours (I need to sleep now as I've been up for a little under 24 hours), I will post my client-side logs to defend myself.

      RedEastWood This is false. Every time I left in those chat logs, it was on my own accord (by clicking the Disconnect button) with the exception being the EvaXephon account, which was banned for 5 minutes.

    Under the impression that I was banned after I left, are you trying to suggest that I somehow knew that I was banned every time I switched alts, despite not receiving a ban message as a result of me leaving on my own accord until the EvaXephon ban occurred?

      man So my first question is, how did Video ‘attack’ the server?

    I don't have confirmation that this is what got me suspended, however I highly suspect this is what got me suspended. To prove a point about why being a cracked server is a bad idea and to have a quick laugh, I joined the Skyblock server under the following usernames:

    • Herobrine
    • popbob
    • bluewestwood
    • cat
    • joder
    • Scheisse
    • ballsack
    • CuckedFunningly
    • CumSock
    • CumRag
    • saturnturn
    • CumDump
    • RedFastWood
    • YandereDev
    • Deez_Nuts
    • EvaXephon
    • ip_check

    Under EvaXephon, I triggered the server's anticheat plugin for flying, and was promptly banned by Red for like 5 minutes. Fair enough. To check if the ban was based on IP, I attempted to connect with the same IP address under the final name, ip_check. I didn't expect it to actually work, so when it let me in I (unnecessarily rudely) remarked that bans should be done by IP. Both my client-side logs and my Replay Mod recordings back these claims up.

      Tizz I wonder if it's because of that time Red ip-banned him or it's a new incident.

    I have not used the Skyblock server since then as my IP ban is still in effect.

    I've decided to create this thread to highlight just how beautiful Windows 7's UI is and how far we have fallen from actually decent UI designs. I've tried many things that are supposed to emulate the look and feel Windows 7 had, but none of them have come close to the original.

    Call me stubborn, but if my hardware actually supported the OS properly I would still use it as my daily driver to this very day, even though updates are not available for it anymore. Unfortunately, Windows 7 on my main computer isn't very stable and often blue-screens as a result of buggy drivers, so that really isn't an option.
