Don't ban for joking around

[Recension]

Hello MCMarket,

About 2 weeks ago, I was banned for "Violation of TOS" (Age Requirnment.)

This was all because I was joking around and I said I was 7 years old. I think these kinds of ordeals should be thought of more and be carefully looked at, since a joke shouldn't equal a ban.

Thanks

Ofc I was unbanned but it was quite annoying during the few days I was banned, since I was selling something right as I got banned.

Have to say it's very hard for staff to see if you are underage or not. They don't always see if it's a joke or not. So if you know you can get banned for it, why would you make a joke about it then?

It was obvious I was joking - and I don't even think a 7 year old would be buying something off of a minecraft market.

I agree, I entirely am against MCMarkets staff and decisions, Their thought process on each and every issued punishment is never thought out carefully and they are just thirty for punishing people, Especially after seeing this, How could you disagree? Fuck em.

If it was obvious, they wouldn't ban you. Next time just do normal and not childish, problem fixed.

Yeah, forgot to mention - the guy said this

"Are you 9 or something? Get a life and stop trashing my thread"

Then I said,

"Excuse you, I am 7"

That is where my one negative rep comes from too...

Okay, but explain why staff are allowed to joke about something that isn't allowed on MCM? Why is that fair but members can't joke? Hm? Staff should be treated like members, aside from punishing people who break rules and helping people. They shouldn't be allowed to joke about something against the rules if members can't do it themselves.

So if staff do something you are allowed to do the same? So if one of the staff members shoot someone, then can everyone shoot someone? No. It is your own job to do normally. If you are going to say, but he did it too, then you are really too childish for MCM. You guys are just witch hunting staff members, so sad.

I don't think you are understanding what Capaldi is saying. If u scroll up, he said right after I was banned, Baum was joking around about doxing & shit. They weren't doxing, but they were joking around about it. That isn't the same thing in my case, just different punishment - I joke around about my age; he jokes around about doxing - both are bannable offenses on mc-market

But if you know you can get banned for doxing or being underage, why would you make jokes about it then?

We have to take anything and everything seriously when it comes to breaking rules. If we thought everything was a joke, far more people would be breaking rules and causing issues. There is no reason to joke about breaking a rule, people have joked about scamming and were banned just like you were for saying you were underage. We take it seriously. It is your own ignorance if you get banned over a "joke". Just don't joke about breaking rules and there would be no issues. Not to mention if it does happen, you can appeal. You're making a far bigger deal out of this than what it is and ever was.

This is why I joke around and have fun with people on discord, not this forum. It can be like a minefield sometimes trying to say something as a joke, without running the risk that it be somehow interpreted as breaking a rule by a staff member. Yes, rules should be enforced, but there is a line between keeping the forums safe and removing the element of fun.

https://prnt.sc/ib5dlp - Not sure how anyone could interpret that as anything but a joke.

The staff shouldn’t be required to see if you are joking or not. If you are in a private chat, it’s fine joke around. But publicly? No.

You never acknowledged that you yourself made a joke breaking the rules as Capaldi said
