Muted by?: Brutalacerate
Time of ban: 11:30PM 21/07/2012
Reason for mute: Wasn't given.
Your story: I was once again globally muted today for no apparent reason. I was disputing the word Spam, because people were claiming a few people were spamming. I wasn't spamming myself, I wasn't being rude at all, I was politely explaining what the word meant. Then, when they continued to argue English with me, I tried to again, politely, explain that we're not allowed to make up definitions for words. I believe the word they were looking for was flooding. Or "Chat flooding" to be more precise. I would have explained this, if I had the chance, but for some reason my teachings got me globally muted. Once again, I was muted without breaking any rules. I never claimed that what they were doing wasn't against the "spam" rule, I just mentioned it wasn't spamming. A completely correct statement that led to an unwanted, and unwarranted global mute. This was the second global mute of mine that was completely just because of my personality. I like to be a helpful person, and try and explain people words before they make assumptions of what they mean, or heard they mean. Now - I cannot reply, or answer to people who need banking, or any other chat for that matter. Maybe if I had a justifiable explanation for this mute, I would be able to accept it a little more; sadly, all I was messaged was an embarrassing "Enjoy you Global Mute" in the Alert message which seemed rather harassing if you ask me.
In the end, I do not believe this global mute was an honest or just mute. I don't think people should be able to bring prejudice or hatred for certain players when they're warranting bans or mutes, because bans and mutes should follow the server rules, and not what ever people are feeling. If it was a mute from a private channel, I'd allow them to mute me for these prejudice or hateful reasons, but in my case, it was blown far out of proportion.
Thank you for reading, I'll await a response.

I'm not sure if this is fit enough, but I tried my best. I still fail to see which rules I broke though. I wasn't even being disrespectful! I don't feel respected, which is an actual rule, and I feel like this is very impolite. I wasn't arguing with you, it was just information. There was no disobeying of the staff because I wasn't told to do, or not to do anything! This is a prime example of biased work, because I'm not being treated according to the rules. Anything I say if automatically picked at and made fun of, and I'm not allowed to defend myself because you guys are admins of a minecraft server. Also, I'd appreciate if you didn't tell me to shut up. I'm not trying to break rule #2 by whining, but it's very impolite and breaks rule #6 because it's very disrespectful. Sorry for being an inconvenience, I hope in the future you can put prejudice aside and judge me according to the law.
