    1) I was banned on Skyblock.net
    2) My IN game is flamesword578
    3) This is the full, exact ban message: "Kicked whilst connecting to survival: You are are banned from this server! Reason: Player killing. Appeal @ Skyblock Forums -Love. Your ban will be removed on 2016-07-21 at 7:47:24 MST"
    4) I admit, I did not read the rules, because I'd assumed that the rules were "No Hacking,No Swearing, etc" as they are on most servers.
    5) I think I was banned because I was voiding players that refused to pay for my mini golf and casino. They tried to block-glitch and I voided them, because they refused to leave my island.
    6) I believe that while technically this is a correct ban, voiding does not result in player killing (only when the player does not tp themselves back to their home island). And even so, I don't void players just for the whim of it, as the term "Player Killing" implies. I only void because it gets in the way of real, paying customers, and even then there is no intent of malice implied with it.
    7) I have never been banned on Skyblock before, unless you choose to count the thirty minute bans where "the ban hammer has spoken!"
    8) I believe I should be un-banned simply because there was a reason behind my supposed "killing" and even though I did void people, I mean, it happens all the time on this server, and frankly almost half the people on the server would be banned if "voiding" results in a ban.

    If the moderators choose to deny my appeal, I will be OK with the situation: three days is not too bad for a ban. But I'm just a little frustrated with the system and all I want to do is have fun on the skyblock.net server.

    Thanks you for taking your time to appeal.
    Now, you say you were voiding players because they wouldn't pay and they were in the way, but did you host an illegal skin competition? A skin competition where when a player losses they get dropped into the void?

    Yes, my skin competition WAS where players were dropped into the void but the thing is nobody ever came. I never held a skin competition simple because nobody ever ever came so I built my skin competition like that, but technically I never actually held one.

    ^^^ I did not know it was illegal because again, at most skin comps I go to, players would set it up where you dell into the void, so I assumed it was ok. But I understand it isn't and I will fix my skin comp after the ban is finished/lifted.

    Why should I unban you? How can I trust that you won't do this type of thing again?

    This is the first time I've been banned. Again, I'm not the type that tries to kill people intentionally. If there's another way to avoid voiding people (e.g. a way to get people to leave my island) I would do it, but I haven't found a solution to my problem that people won't pay for the things that they have to. You should un-ban me because it is my first time being banned and it was because I didn't read the rules thoroughly enough to realize voiding was against the rules. If you would like to suggest a way that would allow me to be un-banned and put into your trust I won't do this again: I'm all open. If you would not like to, then I'd ask for you to understand that this is my first time being banned and let me back onto the server.

    Lastly, I will need you to re-write all 15 of the rules in your own words. The rules can be located here.

    1) No griefing: Which basically means if you are in a coop or /trusted, you can't just destroy the owner's island for trolling (or whatever) reasons. In extreme cases (multiple sever cases) will the griefer be banned.
    2) No Scamming/Stealing: When two people agree to a deal and when the person of the deal goes first, the second person doesn't pay them back what they promised. The only time it's legal when a bad deal is agrred upon by both sides.
    3) No Advertising: Unless it's a server owned by Noobcrew, you can't advertise a server, or any other websites, unless another player directly asks/messages you wanting to know.
    4) No killing others: using lava, mobs, or fall damage to kill someone and take their items is never legal. The only way it's legal is if you kill yourself, but other than that, no killing.
    5) Don't swear: Don't use disrespectful or swear words. Almost never OK, and can result in bans.
    6) Don't Spam or use capslock: Do not excessively use words in CAPS or Spam. Don't repeat the same message every second. It's ok if it's an auction and is said every minute or so, but other than that, it isn't
    7) No island farming/ selling of islands: You can't create new island just to get the dirt/sand/ice/lava that comes with it. You also can't sell these islands to other people for grass/diamonds. Never legal.
    8) Do not trade/give dirt/sand/buckets/steve headssponge/bedrock/Podzol/silverfish spawn eggs as they are illegal.
    9) Do not possess ores/god items/duped items/staff heads as they are illegal to own.
    10) Don't /nick abuse (meaning don't give yourself a nickname of a famous Youtube/Person and abuse that name)
    11) Do not Hack unless it is on the list of acceptable hack clients.
    12) Mods that aren't Hacks are allowed on this server.
    13) You can't have a skin/name/or build that is inappropriate, unless you are willing to /lock your island and only have those things then.
    14) Mods have to have a clear cut reason to ban, and can't ban on a whim.
    15) Use common sense (like don't threaten people, blackmail them, try to lure young children, or sell in game items for currency)

    You seem to have learned your lesson. I hope to never see you in this section of the forums again.
