Ban Appeal

[pearson]

Your Warcraft III username: Ryuzaki
Realm/Gateway: Europe
Why are you banned: AFK / viewtopic.php?f=24&t=126107&p=489204
Why you should be unbanned: I understand that me being AFK effected the game, but what am I supposed to do if someone is ringing my door? I needed to go AFK & I announced it in the game

Based on the Rules http://wiki.entgaming.net/index.php?tit ... ming:Rules

it specifically mentions to not intentionally game ruine, which I didn't. It also says that you should tell your allies that you needed to go AFK, which I did. It also says that you are not supposed to reset the AFK timer, which I didn't.

I have viewed the rules and I didn't break any rules at all.

Compare my Ban with this Ban = viewtopic.php?f=24&t=125206&p=488109

The guy reported in this ban request above, broke the rules by reseting the AFK timer, and intentionally game ruining. He gets 3 days ban, just like me? Based on the rules I didn't break any. And in his game, he broke all the rules.

My point here is that, there will be times in the future where I might need to go AFK for 2 minutes or 3 minutes, its normal, we are human.

Giving 3 days ban for every person that goes couple minutes AFK (because it is urgent for them to go AFK) is unfair. So what should I do in the future in case I needed to go AFK urgently for 1-2 minutes? Should I just leave the game to avoid getting "AFK ban" ?

You were not afk 1-2 minutes and this is different
You afk'd for 5 minutes over and got kicked.
Here is the rule : Do not go away from keyboard for an excessive amount of time, especially without telling other players beforehand, and/or refuse to play the game in an attempt to ruin it. Neither are you allowed to grief by resetting the afk timer.

Very first thing it ask Do not go away from keyboard for excessive amount of time. Other part comes after, u went away for excessive amount of time that effected the game and game clearly was not over in anyway. That is why you receive ban 3 days is normal ban for afk for your question.
If you have to go afk for 1-2 minutes ok so be it tell team, but excessive time and crucial time is different. Hope you can see through this

Well since you wanted to point that first thing comes "Do not go away from keyboard for excessive amount of time Other part comes after "

Then I think it is fair to say that, first thing comes "Do not ruin the game on purpose" before everything

The first line says " Do not ruin the game on purpose", Other parts that you wrote comes after.

And I did not ruin the game on purpose, I played 47 minutes playing my best, someone rang my door and I needed to go AFK. Where is ruining the game on purpose?

You say 3 days ban is normal for AFK. Yes it is normal if it is intentional game ruin like this one = viewtopic.php?f=24&t=125206&p=488109

this guy deserves 3 days ban, and I 100% agree, because it is intentional game ruin, he wanted to ruin the game on purpose. He wanted to break the rules.

In the other hand, I had no intentions to game ruin, and I didn't want to break the rules, and I didn't even break them at all. If you read the rules literally, and compare it to what I did, you would realize that I did not break any rule at all.
