I have been temporarily banned from official servers. Access restored on: 2025-05-15. Reason: Abuse of capture to prevent access to resources and construction sites. I have been playing on this server for over two years, I have never blocked anyone or blocked access to resources. There have never been any complaints about me either. I want to know why exactly I was banned?

Because you broke the rules.
I’m sorry but the way the ToC is enforced you can actually be violating the ToC for years before anyone reports it, then it takes more then one report.
The system is dependent on us being the HOA agents, that is where the fail starts. Not everyone wants that responsibility. The next fail is when some one takes up that responsibility and finds 4/5 reports are pretty much ignored.
What that leads to is a server full of ToC violations so new players think it’s OK to build like that. Then come on here to vent when they get a time out/suspensions.
I’m going to assume that is some sort of mistranslation, I’m pretty sure that would be land claim abuse. Which can be torches around your base but not part of your base, or anything that claims land out side your base. On the server I’m on some one has gone to the edge of their bases land claim and set down 4X4 blocks to prevent others from building too close. A very clear violation of the ToC because they give it as an example of a ToC violation.
You are also point out the next big fail of the system, no clear explanation of how the rule was violated so you can avoid breaking the rules again. The system is designed to punish not teach.
Whats worse is you stand a better chance of getting banned by some one exploiting the report system then actually violating the ToC.
