Why were you banned: i was griefing

Ban duration: Ethosein

What were you doing last on the server: i was in my home

Why you think you should be pardoned early (Please keep this factual. We understand you are sorry that you got

banned so please stick with the facts): because i will never grief again and i will be good and be nice i know that this is my last chance.

Hi Andrew,

             As you may or may not be aware of, this is your 3rd banned offense, following a 24 and 72 hour ban for both griefing and entering the home of a developer without consent. You were given 2 chances prior, and you were spoken to by multiple staff members in the past, to whom you said the same exact thing you said in this appeal. I'm sorry, but this appeal is denied. You may re-appeal in the future, though I cannot guarantee you will get a different result. 

- Ethosein

i'm sorry i wont do it again

Hi this is Andrew's mother, can you please go back in any check any threads where he could have possibly been egged on to mine someplace that he wasn't suppose to? He just explained griefing to me as we looked it up. I don't know if you are aware but Andrew has Autism and has to be told direct instructions in a way where he can understand it. If you or who ever is admining at the time could pull him a side if he gets out of hand or goes against your rules, that would be really helpful.  Is this to be a permanent ban where he has to look elsewhere to try to socialize?

 Ifthis this andrew's mother, which I highly doubt, everyone must be treated the same and as harsh as this may sound having autism isn't an excuse to be unbanned. He should've read the rules and realised from his last 2 bans to not greif again. Everyone must be treated the same or other people would be upset and the community here would be really really bad. Sorry,

P.S: I think it is. Unless a member of staff, who has a higher rank than the admin who banned you son Andrew, then he might be unbanned but again, I ighly doubt that as everyone here is treated with the same punishments.

I had spoken to witnesses in the area at the time of the grief, and apparently upon being brought to the area, he had began to break blocks in the area. There's nothing on the SWD Forums that could've possibly pushed him to do that, so I'm fairly certain this was completely his decision. As for the ban, it is permanent. Andrew has already appealed, and if he wishes, he can appeal in the future. For the time being, he has no access to our Minecraft servers, though he still has full access to our forums and our Discord, so finding other mediums to socialize through would be unnecessary if anything. If you have any further questions regarding the ban, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for understanding. 

Thank you for straightening that out for me. I guess I will look elsewhere like autcraft for disabled children like him. The language used on this page after scanning was quite in appropriate to say the least. Have a good night and thank you again for the reply back.

 ... Hi, an Autistic person here, I hear you're saying that your son has Autism, Well that maybe good and well but just because he has Autism doesn't mean it can be used to excuse his behaviour. Like I have Autism, I've been banned before on other servers and never have I once ever used my Autism as an excuse for the stuff I do, If I do something wrong and I'm banned for it, I take responsibility for my action and not hide behind my disability, And I'll say this now, You're his mum, you should be teaching him that when he does something wrong he should be taking responsibility for what he's done and that every action has consequences and that his Autism should not be used as a get out of jail card everytime he does something wrong because that places a bad name on those that have Autism. Anyway Have a good day Ma'am.

 So from what you've said, Andrew is only able to understand direct instructions.
While the grief was happening, not only did I witness it in-game, but I was also in a voice chat with Andrew at the time.
Now, I think the meaning of "direct" may be somewhat subjective, but telling him verbally "Stop Griefing" is as direct as I needed to get with him.

After being killed in said location, he used /back to return after respawning and griefed again.
Frankly, I don't know why he continued after being told to stop, but it was not due to us telling him in  a way he could not understand.
