    Punished account name: JohnSpinker, OfficialDarat, S0ul_Skater
    Platform or server punished on: Skyblock Survival
    Ban message if applicable: Intentionally lagging our server or using lag machines.
    Have you read the rules? yes
    Do you think this punishment was incorrect? yes, in that we weren't 'intentionally' building a lag machine.
    Why should you be unbanned? While what we constructed probably fits the definition of a lag machine, I can assure you it was entirely unintentional. We will refrain from creating one again in the future. We attempted to automate cow farming by creating a piston system to crush cows.
    Please list any other times you were punished on Skyblock: N/A
    If you know, tag the staff member that banned you: Novembree
    Do you understand and accept our rules and code of conduct? yes

    Thank you for the explanation.

    Another staff member and I both experienced immense lag when visiting your island, causing us to crash. We both observed a redstone machine going off which lead us to believe it was a lag machine.

    At the request of the Owner, you have been temporarily banned from our platform until necessary investigations can take place.

    We will keep you posted on what occurs in the coming days.

    The redstone circuit you saw was a series of repeaters chained together to cause a cow-crushing piston set to activate periodically. I hadn't noticed any change in performance after it was activated. I can assure you we had no intention to create a lag machine, and a brief visit to our island could prove that

    We have looked into this more and can't seem to find if the machine was intentional. For whatever reason the way it works did cause server lag and crash clients but seems to be accidental on your part. It could be related to the pistons trying to crush the stacked entities.

    You have been unbanned along with your coop members but please remove/change the machine so it doesn't occur again.

    Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion, this was a necessary precaution as we've had users that created similar machines in the past to lag/crash the server.

    Thank you!
