Let me start some basic 100% true facts about me:

1) The only time I got punished on planetminecraft (including on the server) was once when I got my texture pack temporarily disabled.
I fixed everything it said, but some of it wasn't really applicable to my texture pack, so I politely responded saying that I think he made some mistakes, yet I still did my best to make it better.
The kind site moderator, Bethamez, replied saying that it was an error on his end, and that he re-enabled it.

2) I actively ask new and old players on the planetminecraft server if they need food, and I give them up to 20 stacks of melons if they do.

3) I am very willing to help anyone who wants help on the server, many times for free.

4) I try to remind people of the rules in chat (namely the no-advertising rule)

Now let me tell you a story that happened to me on the planetminecraft server:

I live in a fort made by Camo7, who kindly took me in on my first day. I help her with redstone and building whenever she wants it, and many times I help without being asked. Recently I had nothing much to do on the base, so I decided to make myself a little hut outside of camo's base where I can do redstone and have fun. I started by making a 3 wide invisible door, an idea by Joelzaper, which relies on fences underneath carpets. I made a ceiling blockswapper, that swaps in a lit redstone lamp. I made a side blockswapper, but due to a random piston server glitch, it wouldn't work. Instead, I simply made a floor blockswapper. Then I made a piston stairway down that used 14 sticky pistons, cause I had nothing better to do.

And then guess what happened? I was bored again. I saw a chicken farm video that seemed pretty cool, so I decided to try to make one myself. It was fully automatic and gave me cooked chicken and feathers. I miscalculated a bit though. I had about 50 chicken, and I was getting meat at a very slow rate. So I bred them. Then I bred them again. And again. And again. Using over 15 stacks of seeds in total. Now, I was getting about 5 cooked chicken every minute. And it was fully automatic. However, I knew that it might lag the server, so I asked people online if they feel the server laggier than usual. Some people weren't sure, and the others said no. I decided to test it with my friend, Peter-. First, I stood right next to the farm for a whole minute, while he noticed how laggy it was. Then, I disconnected, unloading the chunks, so he could notice if it was less laggy with the farm unloaded. I was disconnected for well over a minute, leaving him good time to check if it was less laggy. When I came back, he told me that he did not notice any change. However, I was still unsure, so I asked Paril, a super moderator, who told me to cut down my amount of chicken. He told me that I should have 50 max. I immediately started killing off my chicken, breaking many of my tools.

I decided to take a little break, so I decided to make cow farm, this time without making the mistake of putting too many mobs. I decided to keep a cap on 25 cows, half of the maximum 50 Paril set. I ran through a few designs on my creative, and then made a simple one next to my little hut. I bred my way up to 25 cows, and began using the farm. It wasn't automatic at all, and shouldn't lag the server. It worked decently, Giving me up to 20 steak and 20 leather per 5 minutes of me actively using it. It was a bit heavy on wheat, but I was fine. I went back to killing some more chicken, breaking some more tools. By the middle of my third day doing this, I got about 5 stacks of steak and leather, very nice. Even though I killed many, many, many, chicken, I still had a ton of them left. I'd say about 200.

An admin came on, which I will leave unnamed, and he was talking about removing the whole blog section. He said that blogs don't improve your fun in game, and its just an effortless way to gain experience. I decided to afk for a bit, and chat with him on this interesting topic, and he made some great points and I was led to agree with him.

After a while, Paril came on. The admin asked Paril if mob grinders were still banned, because he was seeing many. I said that they were still banned, and so did Paril. The admin said that he was going to break them all. I felt fine with it. If someone broke the rules and made a mob grinder, then they deserved to have the mob grinder taken down. I was also glad that I had a farm, and not a grinder, which was safe. I felt very safe because I already chatted with Paril about mines and I already spent a lot of tools killing off my chicken.

My feeling of safeness was short-lived. After I got out of being afk, all my chicken were dead, and so were all my cows. I understood what happened, and i tried telling him that I was fixing it, and I was asking him why he destroyed my cow farm, because it only had 25 cows. He told me that I can rebuild them both. Of course, I was kinda expecting someone who killed all my animals wrongly to help me in some way to rebuild them to an extent that he feels wouldn't lag the server. I even asked him to give me 50 wheat so I could get my 25 cows back, and he refused. He then said something on how I was lagging the whole server, so I started explaining to him how I chatted with Paril, and how I did lag tests, and how I was fixing the whole thing, but he completely ignored me. I was being very polite up till now, keeping my cool, but this was too far.

I told him, "i dislike you (name), sorry"
Now I have screenshots of this conversation, but I won't upload them because I am trying my best not to be mean to him.
He told me that he doesn't want to "win the affections" of people who don't "understand how to play as a community"
I asked him to explain what he means because I thought that many people on the server like me, and none really dislike me.
He explained to me how i built lagging farms and i got mad when he broke them, and that I think he's the bad guy even though i'm the one who is lagging the server
so, yet again, I explained that I didn't say he was a bad guy,
I didn't blame him, for he had no way of knowing that I already asked Paril,
and the whole story on how I was already fixing it, again
and went on to explaining that I expected him to at least give me something,
and that I was fine through allllll of that, and I only dislike him because he completely ignored me.
I told him that I'm sorry that he feels that I'm bad for the community.

Now I don't think that I'm bad for the community, and I want to prove it to him the next time he gets on. Now this blog is not made for exp, its made for feedback, so please leave a comment.
If you know me on the planetminecraft server, please tell me your thoughts about me, or anything you think I am missing above. I might have missed some bad things about me, and I want to include everything. If you don't know me, please leave a comment saying what you think about me based off of what I told you above. Thank you for your feedback

When reading this when you speak about the 'no named' mod who destroyed your animal farms; I directly came up with some names :p

Nuuuuuu.. They cannot remove the blog section.. I just started writing them : ( Anyways.. My time on the Pmc server was shortly lived due to the fact that I own a server. On my short lived experience I sadly did not pay attention to the people on the server. I was to busy being a dwarf with my friend Rusty(You may know him as TheRustyCreeper). But then again I was shortly on the server a few times.

I never knew someone could be lazy enough to post 200 posts without getting to level 10.
