AWW THANK YOU GURMB!!!! it means a lot coming from you 🤯🥺



(also yes she's right, don't step to us owo)

Hey! my apologies for banning you today, and not after making a scene about never coming back to play here following chunk loading issues inherent to the switch to 1.14. I think that would have been a much fairer course of action considering your intense criticism of our abilities as owners surrounding the 1.14 switch, which was hard on everyone. The comments you made sort of indicated you weren't someone we wanted around, but since we thought you wouldn't be back, we didn't make that our first priority. At that time, our first priority, server-wise, was finding a fix for the chunk loading problems.



After your previous behavior, I'm sorry to say it wasn't a matter of if, but when you would be banned, because it seemed clear that there would be more complaining and more bickering at some point in the future. We are not the kind of server to just let antisocial behavior go, or let people exhibit detrimental behavior out in the open. Most servers wait for someone to do something really bad to get banned, but we're trying to be proactive in curating our community by barring individuals who either won't play nice or will only gripe and complain about what goes on here. Those kind of people don't make it fun for anyone, especially the two of us server owners, who are doing this for fun. We aren't getting rich doing this - any donations thus far have gone back into costs like hosting or premium plugins, so don't try to argue that we're "making bank" or anything like that.



You refer to us calling you out for having an attitude. This was not an attempt to bait you into acting out, as you had already committed the offense for which you are now banned for some time ago. I have already elaborated on why we have done so.



As far as us being bigoted? We really haven't done anything to demonstrate that, and make every attempt to be inclusive to all (except people with bad attitudes, obviously). Our exclusion of you had only to do with the content of your character, and no other attributes about you. If you are a constructive, tactful individual, you'd have nothing to fear here. Your comments are similar to the previous banned individual in the comments in that they don't seem to understand that they don't have to "walk on eggshells" as you say, to stay here. I think that's telling, and that lack of understanding only confirms our decision to do what we did.



Again, sorry for the unfair, delayed ban - I promise that I will act more swiftly in these matters in the future. I'm sure you will find a community that is a better fit for you elsewhere.

SonoraBuild is a privately owned entity and we reserve the right to refuse access to those who we feel do not contribute to the well being and spirit of this community. Thus, I feel that if you invite "bad elements" (that is, passive aggressive, mean-spirited individuals) into the server it wouldn't be prudent that you remain here. I appreciate your attempts to be polite and keep in line with the rules, but the net impact all in-game actions have to the server also plays a part.

Additionally, asking if there are donation ranks does not constitute supporting us and I don't let the prospect of earning donors influence what we do with the server. The community that I maintain here is way more important than money. So sorry to refuse you access to the server and I wish you all the luck in finding a community that fits you
