Supermariobubba, let me explain to you why we did what we did.
First of all, it's not that the mods are the bad guys. In fact, we're some of the nicest people you'll see around the server. But understand that we're people too; and being rude, and backtalking when we're trying to help solve your problems, upsets us as it would upset anyone else. That's why we tend to be harsh when you constantly belittle us and swear at us in questioning.
We do not target you specifically. We hold the same standards for every player who plays on our server; from default to admin. The difference, however, is that a player with no ban history may get away with a minor verbal warning for an obvious mistake; whereas, a player with a ban history such as yourself is considered a repeat offender, and is much harder to trust. Until you've proven that you're willing to play by the rules (which, in my opinion, you haven't) we'll continue to assume you're here to cause problems. If you want to be treated nicely, you have to treat us nicely as well.
Also, we can't have people taking matters into their own hands, as you did. If someone is causing issues for you, it's never okay to do the same to them, whether or not you feel they deserve it. We decide when and if to punish a player for misdeeds; not you. And if you insist on griefing and killing outside of pvp simply because "Corin did it to me first," you're the one who will be punished first. Just ask us, and we're more than happy to deal with the situation; after all, that's what mods are here to do.
And on a side note, using another account, regardless of who usually plays on it, is using an alternate account, and is a form of ban evasion. Same goes for logging into the creative server after being banned on the survival server. There's a section on the forums in which you can appeal your ban; use that instead, and we'll be more than happy to discuss the issue there.
We're the good guys. But if you insist on arguing with us, we can very quickly seem like the bad guys. We're here to help. But if our help isn't appreciated, there's not much we can do to solve your problems. Please trust our judgement.
