Ban appeals are for when we have made a mistake, or there has been a significant change in the circumstances.
These are the only reasons a ban appeal would be accepted. Appeals for "apologies" or just admitting you did wrong will be instantly denied.
In Game Name: xForerunner
Length of Ban: 7 days
Nature of ban(ie, mine craft temp banned or TS3 perm ban) : Minecraft temp-ban
Staff who banned you : ThaCandyMan
Staff who dealt with you : ThaCandyMan
Staff who have warned you previously : None
Reason for ban on record : X-raying
Why do you think you were banned?(what you think the admins thought) : The tunnels xChet and I dug to break into an unclaimed sugar cane base appeared as though they were the result of X-raying.
Why what is your explanation of this reason? The farm we were leeching off of had 3 different levels of sugar cane, and the highest one went up to around y 20. Normally we wouldn't have been able to pick up on it at bedrock, but since someone was harvesting on the 3rd level that was a dead giveaway as their tag was close enough to show up.
My friend chet was out scouting around for bases and spotted a moving nametag in the ground. He sethome at the surface initially and waited for it to disappear before tunneling down towards where he saw the tag and discovered the sugar cane farm.
He informed me of the base the following day and we went to check it out so I could see for myself. We ended up making a 2nd tunnel since he couldn't find the initial one he made.
I replaced some of the blocks with smooth stone that way we could effectively minimize our footprint in the area so as to avoid exposing ourselves that we had found the base. Reason being, if they found out their base was compromised, we risked them claiming the base or refraining from depositing their valuables in the chests there any more.
Secondarily due to the nature of our entry, it would have looked highly suspicious if we had tunnels that led to their base so patching them up was the best way to kill two birds with one stone and avoid finding ourselves in this sort of predicament in the first place.
I didn't have VIP at the time for the extra homes so when I went back to gear up and get some more blocks I found the initial tunnel he made and placed a water bucket down there that way I wouldn't die
from fall damage.
I found myself in the same cave system we were originally in as we tunneled towards the base and dug through the roof of the 3rd floor. That's how I found my way in and was able to sethome, since during all this I decided I should go ahead and purchase VIP right then for the extra homes.
Since then, we exclusively accessed the base to leech off the sugar cane farm and loot the chests they had placed inside.
Why should we unban you? The forum states that appeals are for when a mistake was made during the ban, and I feel I have provided sufficient evidence that proves the absence of foul play on our behalf in this situation.
What measures will you take to prevent this from happening again? To be frank, I'm not sure how I could do things differently and in such a way that makes it clear any tunnels I make are not the product of foul play, since in situations like these it's easy to see how those forms of entry could be mistaken for X-ray. If you have anything in mind that I should do differently please let me know since at this point I'll just be avoiding tunneling entirely so as not to end up in this situation again.
How can we trust you again? I hope that you'll hear me out with an open mind willing to understand and see things from my perspective. Although I've felt pretty anxious throughout this, I can see how this situation presents itself as one of many others where the perpetrator is blatantly X-raying. However I'm confident that if absolved of my ban, I can prove myself to be the trustworthy and loyal player I set out to be.
What else would you like to say to the admins who will review this case? I sincerely apologize for whatever inconvenience I've caused as a result of this.
And also for making you read my lengthy appeal :^)
