First of all, before the this incident, it was legal for people to defend their bases from enemy players. Since you are a near haradrim, and you were on HIS island on HIS base, he had the right to attack. As of today, you MUST now declare a hunt before ANY kind of pvp outside of sieges.

Secondly, placing blocks on/against other people's build (like in this instance) is considered griefing. Griefing of any kind is forbidden.

Thirdly, the stair was made by boxmancaIeb (another Near Haradrim). Staff members have commands that show who did what, and when, so please don't go on a rant saying that boxmancaIeb didn't.

Finally, the reason why you were banned is because of minor griefing. Since you didn't know it was illegal, and because of confusion concerning the rules, you were unbanned, which is perfectly fair, and i have no problems with it.

Note: Be aware of the clarification of rules here. You were attacked without a hunt being declared. Therefore, you had reason to be upset. HOWEVER, the player attacking you, Elrohir, was justified at the same time because of the general guidline stating that you are able to defend your base against hostile players "regardless of their intentions." A slight paradox occurred since this says nothing about "hunting." I hope this helps. :)
