I have been banned the same time as a hacker

[SergioFire]

I have been banned because I have the bright on 1000% and the banned me a week!
The hackers are also banned a week!
I didnt know that it wasnt legal to has full bright (i didnt use mods or hacks or nothing) and i would have the same punishment as if i had used hacks!!

I have the default minecraft with optifine! and they banned me 1 week, same as hackers -.-

You can actually get banned for having 1000 brightness..? Since when was this a thing?

 

[SergioFire]

Yes!!! and they didnt warned me or something, i entered a minute ago in MCSG and i am banned

I believe it is because it can you an adv over the player that use the normal mc settings

but shouldnt they warn me or something? like asking me not to use it anymore, I have never seen that i cant do this on the rules, and believe me, i have read them a lot of times....
I HAVE REPORTED LIKE 80 HACKERS AND THEIR PUNISHMENT IS THE SAME AS MINE!

What you referring to is gamma enhancing this is not allowed on our servers because it gives you an unfair advantage amongst the other players. (You are able to see more with your gamma enhanced)

I have quoted this directly from the rules (take note of the red writing):

2. No Hacked or Modded clients are allowed EVER: Mods that give unfair advantages are not allowed.

• Any suspicion of using a client can earn a temp ban or a permanent ban depending on the situation. Even discussing hacked clients on our servers is worthy of a tempban.
• Anything outside of a vanilla client that provides an unfair advantage (x-ray, minimap, radars, force fields, speedhacking, better sprint mod, ect.) is considered a modded or hacked client!
• A detailed list of the mods we do not allow will be provided.
• If you use mods to increase your FPS or textures like the watermod, it's OK! We just don't like the ones where you modify your character's performance.
• If you are caught or the administration has suspicion of you using hacks, your ranking and leaderboard scores are subject to be reset to the defaults.
• Admitting to using a modded/hacked client, even jokingly, will result in a ban
• If you are unsure if a certain mod is allowed or not, as a staff member before using it.
• This includes modifying files in your .minecraft to give a advantage such as increasing the gamma to give effect of full bright.
• Binding macros to give you the ability to sprint without tapping W twice is considered hacking and will be dealt as such.

ALL Hacking on the MCGamer servers is treated the same, no matter what hack or modification your using. If you are unaware of what mods are/aren't allowed on our servers please read/re-read the rules or contact a member of staff if the Mod isn't on the "Allowed Mods List".
