Goodbye what might've been my favorite server...

[Benjiram]

Hello everyone, gather up gather up, grandpappy is gonna tell you a story, oh wait not too much time long story short, i got false-banned * L * and denied on my appeal. You may not know me, and may think im a random just by reading this, but I have to say goodbye. I loved this server from the bottom-up, it was some ez pvp practice, and everyone was doing well, and the chat wasnt too crazy... hehe jk that never happened *accept for the liking the server part* INSTEAD this server decided to not mute people that spammed. Regardless of what people are spamming, they should be muted. PERIOD!!!

I DONT LIKE THE SERVER ANYMORE IF U COULDNT TELL *title = clickbait*
I dont like this server (anymore) because it just became boring, and a tryhard server. I didn't know I was agreeing to get by joining this server for damn tryhards to not let me play. Thats just one point. The server is garbage because the owner DOESNT EVEN MODERATE OR KNOW WHAT HES DOING!!!! prove me wrong, I want full evidence of skeppy actually doing work on the server that actually effects the server. He makes a mess in the server, and leaves mega, zelkam, and neon to clean it up. Now he gives away top ranks to people that stand on a bridge. WHAT LOGIC DOES THAT ENSUE??? That is basically just giving a random person $250 bucks, for having no skill. That is why I deeply hate this server. Everyone that joins is just begging for skeppy in the chat, "OH SKEPPY UR TRASH11!!" "SKEPPY U CANT BEET NME!!!!11" "ZELKAM LET ME WRITE U A HIKU!" like jesus christ the server isnt even what its meant for anymore. I'd rather play on The Pit. (yeah that hypixel kitpvp) Atleast its balanced, and good! all these people trying to get staff, not even to moderate, or help the server at all! their just clout chasers. I mean obviously what I am about to explain would have happened, and they cant stop it. The server has tryhards. Like bad ones. They tryhard for nothing and its just not even fun anymore. Some people might comment, "well just buy an unban, you forgot what this server is like" and to that- to that I say fk you. they cost 15$ first unban actually kill me.

So yeah thats my last talk about this garbage server, so skeppy needs to get his crap together, and the server is now just bad so yeah.

Goodbye!
Sincerely, Benjiram

I hope the future is bright for you my guy. Farewell and good luck!

 

[1pick]

I just want to say, and I am being 100% transparent, this is shit talk. You only are saying this because you are blacklisted and they aren't accepting your appeals. Don't worry though. This isn't bashing you, and I am glad you chose me to comment on this.

First, I would like address your reasoning for leaving. I am not going to go crazy quoting your text, as it is fairly reasonable to mention you are taking a leave for the same reasons MANY people give when blacklisted. It's instantly about themselves. They didn't get what they want so they left. I know this though, from my own experience. I used to get mad when staff would mute me back then before I started going for staff, which one of the reasons why I am wanting to be staff so much now is because I have such a better understanding of where they come from. I stopped thinking about myself and what I was dealing with, and looked at what they have to deal with. Yeah, you can say they don't have to be staff. When it all boils down to it, if it weren't for staff like @Nicki & @S0V and many many other staff who are always on the lookout not only for people breaking rules but to help others as well, this server would not exist. The community is not just built off Skeppy. It is quite literally everyone you interact with. So looking at it this way, you are one person trying to find "attention" from a staff member, in the case of your so-called "clout chasers" or even you as someone who is friends with some staff too. On their end of things, they have to in a way please SEVERAL hundreds of people. You see what I'm saying? Not just being friends, but being fair to peoples needs as well. There is a lot that happens in the background that isn't seen and unappreciated and I know because I am staff/run things on other server. From the little I do with a community of around 40-50 people that I interact with in that, I know how it can feel for them, especially since they are on a server full of fanboys and less of people who actually want to enjoy the game for what it is.

Second, your reasoning for hating the owner. There is a difference between being an owner, and a staff member. Skeppy does A LOT of work behind the scenes that we don't see. I have heard a lot about what he has done, and a lot of it happens at times we will never be able to see. He TECHNICALLY doesn't really have to do what he does, and to the public eye it is portrayed that way. I have heard though that he has helped with developing stuff for the server even recently, and you can never say he is a bad owner unless you have seen all of him. Now I know not everyone is perfect, and Skeppy is far from. I can say though, that when it boils down to it, he does his part in getting people on the server, and as an owner of a company, if you see other companies like Apple or Microsoft, they have their owners/CEO's show off the product to get people to buy it. That is Skeppy's only job. Other than that, he has a manager, who manages the server, log checks, admins and everyone below, the admins manage the mods, the log checks, the senior mods take care of anything the mods can't, and the mods do everything else. Missed some stuff but it's a system that pretty much runs itself without Skeppy, and I say he does more than he has to cause he actively works with the other staff to come up with stuff for the server and even helping make that stuff happen. A lot of people seem to forget he used to do this himself back in the days, it's a joke now that he "doesn't know what he is doing" but he knows. All he has to do is be the poster-child. Just like Steve Jobs was after the company took off, he helped a bit but when it came time for stuff like the iPhone 4 and iPad, he backed off a bit, gave some thoughts, and let his team who gets paid to do what they do handle it. In a way, he's kinda earned it. He's earned to give people whatever he wants whenever even though it might seem abusive, he can do whatever he wants and that is unfortunately how it is. Obviously being the one to not receive the cookie, you feel relatively against it.

The server isn't bad. It DEFINITELY needs SOME work, but there is a reason why InvadedLands still thrives. A good server just doesn't necessarily mean its full of the best people in the world, has the best team around, the best maps, the best owner, the best community. Those are all good things, but at the end of the day it's how you play a part in it that changes your view of things. I personally LOVE InvadedLands, and I get so much hate and backlash for what I do and what I have done, and it's mainly because they think I am a kiss up or a "fanboy" and if I am being honest, I just really love the people. I love sitting in hour long calls with @della just talking about the most RANDOM stuff, getting in fun little arguments with @Hamodi and @hamoka (all without ill-intent of course, they have all my respect). Getting bullied by @Wqlk for absolutely no reason, and at the end of the day, it's mutual respect. Not just for the person, but for what they do. If you start bashing someones job indirectly saying that chat isn't taken care of properly, or something else isn't going right, they aren't going to want to associate with you. It's like a job. If you were to get a new job and have a shit boss, and everyone around you just started talking shit about that boss, would you want to associate yourself with those people if you wanted to keep your job? Of course not. At that point you become a target, and they say "Oh well Benjamin was in our circle while we were talking smack about you too, so why not fire him too?" Ya know? They aren't going to want to associate with a person who is talking smack about their peers or people around them. That is why you see a lot of people who are ignored/blocked by staff (not mentioning any names) because they are either directly/indirectly taking blows at them. As Nicki has said before, she doesn't have to deal with EVERY person. Blocking someone or ignoring someone isn't unprofessional it is their own will and choice.

I know I went off on a tangent here, but I know how you feel. I have been in your boat. Some stuff I said I know you didn't directly say, but I know this may be some that you think, as when I got banned and when staff treated me like everyone else I started to get ignorant, go on tangents and blame everyone for being wrong and not doing their job. Staff have rules and guidelines to follow, and when it comes to the anticheat, they can't see everything and they won't know everything. They can't treat you as someone else either even if they know you personally. 29planets had been banned as you may know, and he had to buy an unban himself because they wouldn't process his appeal. Anyhow, if you take anything from this, take that none of this was an attack, but a learning experience. As someone who has been in that situation and has seen that side I know it can be annoying, and as a friend of mine I wouldn't like to see you go in this fashion and blame the server the way you did. I hope to see you keep trying at appealing as that is always an option, and purchasing a $15 unban really isn't that much considering you have an over $100 rank and alts with ranks as well. Best of luck to you.

i knwo this took u at least 20 minutes.

but in all seriousness, the noob i have quoted (jk dont perm me) speaks the truth. He really does represent the rest of us non fanboys, who are here to enjoy the server. He is correct, Skeppy works extremely hard, we just don't know that. He just has help, becuase he also spends time making videos. Skeppy built this server AND his channel at the same time, and considering all of this its pretty impressive. If you go to the best ranked servers, 1st is hypixel, 2nd is invaded. This is becuase of skepyy's hard work and although now he does use the server for ez content, he still does do a lot of work.


thanks for the rant @1pick i enjoyed reading it

(ye i also enjoyed reading the rant lmfao)
I agree with most of your points, but 90% of the invaded community are fanboys, so thats sort of why 2nd is invaded.

If I do end up buying a unban, then I will go onto the server, and see if I was just toxic about being banned. So consider your rant.. noted.

As Nicki has said before, she doesn't have to deal with EVERY person. Blocking someone or ignoring someone isn't unprofessional it is their own will and choice.

I know I went off on a tangent here, but I know how you feel. I have been in your boat. Some stuff I said I know you didn't directly say, but I know this may be some that you think, as when I got banned and when staff treated me like everyone else I started to get ignorant, go on tangents and blame everyone for being wrong and not doing their job. Staff have rules and guidelines to follow, and when it comes to the anticheat, they can't see everything and they won't know everything. They can't treat you as someone else either even if they know you personally. 29planets had been banned as you may know, and he had to buy an unban himself because they wouldn't process his appeal. Anyhow, if you take anything from this, take that none of this was an attack, but a learning experience. As someone who has been in that situation and has seen that side I know it can be annoying, and as a friend of mine I wouldn't like to see you go in this fashion and blame the server the way you did. I hope to see you keep trying at appealing as that is always an option, and purchasing a $15 unban really isn't that much considering you have an over $100 rank and alts with ranks as well. Best of luck to you.

I just want to say, and I am being 100% transparent, this is shit talk. You only are saying this because you are blacklisted and they aren't accepting your appeals. Don't worry though. This isn't bashing you, and I am glad you chose me to comment on this.

First, I would like address your reasoning for leaving. I am not going to go crazy quoting your text, as it is fairly reasonable to mention you are taking a leave for the same reasons MANY people give when blacklisted. It's instantly about themselves. They didn't get what they want so they left. I know this though, from my own experience. I used to get mad when staff would mute me back then before I started going for staff, which one of the reasons why I am wanting to be staff so much now is because I have such a better understanding of where they come from. I stopped thinking about myself and what I was dealing with, and looked at what they have to deal with. Yeah, you can say they don't have to be staff. When it all boils down to it, if it weren't for staff like @Nicki & @S0V and many many other staff who are always on the lookout not only for people breaking rules but to help others as well, this server would not exist. The community is not just built off Skeppy. It is quite literally everyone you interact with. So looking at it this way, you are one person trying to find "attention" from a staff member, in the case of your so-called "clout chasers" or even you as someone who is friends with some staff too. On their end of things, they have to in a way please SEVERAL hundreds of people. You see what I'm saying? Not just being friends, but being fair to peoples needs as well. There is a lot that happens in the background that isn't seen and unappreciated and I know because I am staff/run things on other server. From the little I do with a community of around 40-50 people that I interact with in that, I know how it can feel for them, especially since they are on a server full of fanboys and less of people who actually want to enjoy the game for what it is.

Second, your reasoning for hating the owner. There is a difference between being an owner, and a staff member. Skeppy does A LOT of work behind the scenes that we don't see. I have heard a lot about what he has done, and a lot of it happens at times we will never be able to see. He TECHNICALLY doesn't really have to do what he does, and to the public eye it is portrayed that way. I have heard though that he has helped with developing stuff for the server even recently, and you can never say he is a bad owner unless you have seen all of him. Now I know not everyone is perfect, and Skeppy is far from. I can say though, that when it boils down to it, he does his part in getting people on the server, and as an owner of a company, if you see other companies like Apple or Microsoft, they have their owners/CEO's show off the product to get people to buy it. That is Skeppy's only job. Other than that, he has a manager, who manages the server, log checks, admins and everyone below, the admins manage the mods, the log checks, the senior mods take care of anything the mods can't, and the mods do everything else. Missed some stuff but it's a system that pretty much runs itself without Skeppy, and I say he does more than he has to cause he actively works with the other staff to come up with stuff for the server and even helping make that stuff happen. A lot of people seem to forget he used to do this himself back in the days, it's a joke now that he "doesn't know what he is doing" but he knows. All he has to do is be the poster-child. Just like Steve Jobs was after the company took off, he helped a bit but when it came time for stuff like the iPhone 4 and iPad, he backed off a bit, gave some thoughts, and let his team who gets paid to do what they do handle it. In a way, he's kinda earned it. He's earned to give people whatever he wants whenever even though it might seem abusive, he can do whatever he wants and that is unfortunately how it is. Obviously being the one to not receive the cookie, you feel relatively against it.

The server isn't bad. It DEFINITELY needs SOME work, but there is a reason why InvadedLands still thrives. A good server just doesn't necessarily mean its full of the best people in the world, has the best team around, the best maps, the best owner, the best community. Those are all good things, but at the end of the day it's how you play a part in it that changes your view of things. I personally LOVE InvadedLands, and I get so much hate and backlash for what I do and what I have done, and it's mainly because they think I am a kiss up or a "fanboy" and if I am being honest, I just really love the people. I love sitting in hour long calls with @della just talking about the most RANDOM stuff, getting in fun little arguments with @Hamodi and @hamoka (all without ill-intent of course, they have all my respect). Getting bullied by @Wqlk for absolutely no reason, and at the end of the day, it's mutual respect. Not just for the person, but for what they do. If you start bashing someones job indirectly saying that chat isn't taken care of properly, or something else isn't going right, they aren't going to want to associate with you. It's like a job. If you were to get a new job and have a shit boss, and everyone around you just started talking shit about that boss, would you want to associate yourself with those people if you wanted to keep your job? Of course not. At that point you become a target, and they say "Oh well Benjamin was in our circle while we were talking smack about you too, so why not fire him too?" Ya know? They aren't going to want to associate with a person who is talking smack about their peers or people around them. That is why you see a lot of people who are ignored/blocked by staff (not mentioning any names) because they are either directly/indirectly taking blows at them. As Nicki has said before, she doesn't have to deal with EVERY person. Blocking someone or ignoring someone isn't unprofessional it is their own will and choice.

The points below assumes we're talking about a false ban and not being banned for valid reasons.

I hope to see you keep trying at appealing as that is always an option, and purchasing a $15 unban really isn't that much considering you have an over $100 rank and alts with ranks as well. Best of luck to you.

Having to pay money because you're false banned is a scam. End of point. No debating.

as it is fairly reasonable to mention you are taking a leave for the same reasons MANY people give when blacklisted. It's instantly about themselves. They didn't get what they want so they left.

Duh if you get false banned and then denied you're gonna first get mad and then leave. Obviously. It's not about getting what you want. It's about being fairly judged. If you didn't cheat then you shouldn't be banned.

All he has to do is be the poster-child. Just like Steve Jobs was

While I get what you're trying to say you just compared skeppy to steve jobs lol.

when staff treated me like everyone else I started to get ignorant, go on tangents and blame everyone for being wrong and not doing their job

Yes blaming the wrong persons is ignorant which is why I don't agree with most of what Benjiram said. But you can definitely blame admins that are able to look at ac logs and buycraft logs for taking more than a month to look at an appeal. Accountability is still a thing. Also just saying denied doesn't help if you don't know why you were banned. It's so frustrating when you're false banned that you don't even know why you're banned. The whole argument of not leaking AC methods or personal info is dumb. If the ac is developed in such a way that developers can easily circumvent it when they know what it's looking for then it needs to be changed. Not knowing why you were banned and being called a cheater without giving any evidence is one of the worst things about the whole process.

If you were to get a new job and have a shit boss, and everyone around you just started talking shit about that boss, would you want to associate yourself with those people if you wanted to keep your job? Of course not. At that point you become a target, and they say "Oh well Benjamin was in our circle while we were talking smack about you too, so why not fire him too?" Ya know?

If you have a shit boss then you can talk about the boss being shit. The consequences of talking shit is your own responsibility tho.

It's not unprofessional of staff blocking you on personal accounts if you spam them. It is unprofessional to handle appeals with a bias against players if they complained about the time it takes to handle an appeal or that they don't get a reason for why they were banned. This is why the whole "don't talk about ban appeals because it lowers the chance of getting accepted or you may get insta denied" is huge BS and completely unprofessional. Appeals should be handled completely objectively and fair. No personal feelings should be taken into account.

im pretty sure they say that to lower spam rates, its just less annoying that way. I dont think they actually do that

So instead of saying the completely bs thing. Why not say if you spam threads you can get forum banned. Which is the intelligent thing to do. This way you have a valid reason of blocking spammers. But false banned people have a place to share their reasons and ask for support.

THANK YOU. Honestly saying that sht only makes players feel like a burden when they're trying to contact staff for support.
