=The Semotto Incident of September 26th=
On September 26th, 2025, server owner Sebastian took in-game action against player [[Player:Semotto|Semotto]] following a prolonged period of out-of-game harassment. This event was the culmination of numerous warnings regarding Semotto's behavior on the community Discord, which he had been asked to cease multiple times.

==Background: A Pattern of Disruptive Behavior==
Prior to the incident, Semotto had established a long history of harassing Sebastian via Discord pings. This often involved reporting vanilla Minecraft mechanics or client-side issues as server bugs, making unreasonable demands, and engaging in lengthy, condescending arguments. Even after being temporarily removed from the support channel and explicitly told to "cool-off," the behavior continued despite being given many chances.

The following gallery provides a sample of these interactions, which created a toxic environment and wasted significant development time.

==The Incident==
The event was triggered when Sebastian was woken up by another "urgent" ping from Semotto regarding the logoff spot mod.

As was typical, the bug report was found to be false. The behavior Semotto described was impossible, as the plugin's code has a hard-coded 5-minute timer for the logoff display.
<pre>
ScheduledFuture<?> removalTask = scheduler.schedule(() -> {
	removeDisplay(playerId);
}, PandaLogoffSpotConfig.getDurationSeconds(), TimeUnit.SECONDS);
</pre>
This incident was a direct violation of the warning Semotto had received about abusing the support system.

In response to the continued harassment and false reports, Sebastian took in-game action. Semotto was trapped in a bedrock box with lava, which was removed before he took fatal damage. However, upon logging in later, he died from the residual burning effect.

==Aftermath and Fallout==
Following his in-game death, Semotto began a campaign against the server.
[[File:Bro taking the block game very seriously.png|thumb|right|Semotto spamming slurs on the Skyblock server after his death.]]
* He published a YouTube video claiming he was a victim of admin abuse.
* He joined the associated Skyblock server to spam slurs.
* He vandalized this wiki with a biased and incorrectly formatted article.
* He attempted to rally his friends to leave the server and harass the owner, a tactic referred to as "weaponizing friendships."

This campaign was largely unsuccessful. When presented with the chat logs, most of his friends chose not to get involved. Sebastian also offered to remove the 7-day deathban and restore all of Semotto's items, but the offer was declined. Semotto showed he was more interested in pursuing his "revenge," demonstrating his goal was not resolution but continued drama.
