3. Full exact Ban Message: illegal trade appeal @ skyblock.net # Penguin
4. Did you read the rules ? Yes
5. Why do YOU think you were banned? I was conducting a trade with ShiloKitty12 to exchange acacia saplings (1 Grass for 2 Saplings) However, after I put 2 saplings in the chest, she (?) put in a dirt block instead. I refused the dirt and took the acacia saplings out of the chest. I never took the dirt out of the chest and warned her (?) that it was illegal.
6. Was this an incorrect ban? Yes, I did not take the illegal dirt and I withdrew my trade offer.
7. Were you ever banned before on SkyBlock? If so, what for? No.
8. Why do you think you should be unbanned? I did what I believe any other person on Skyblock would have done if they were in a similiar position: Cancel the trade, and warn them its illegal. As such, I do not believe that I was rightfully banned. I have enclosed the two screenshots regarding the trade and included a screenshot of the chat log after the trade was cancelled. I do note, that I did not take screenshots during the "trade" nor after it was cancelled as since the transaction was incomplete, I felt that there was no need.

You claim you never took the dirt, but the logs show you were the one putting it in.. care to explain?

 

I'm not sure if I placed one dirt by mistake when I was conducting another trade. Are there any other items that I placed in the chest at around the time? Or does logblock also pickup what I placed in an enderchest? Also it looks like what happened with ShiloKitty is a seperate event from this, so please disregard my earlier explanation.

 

Actually, the log posted does somewhat match the chatlog I posted earlier before you showed your evidence. They both took place at minute 57 near the 50 second mark. Perhaps there was a (very) rare bug with logblock? Its very odd that they match almost perfectly. This is very puzzling. StrayanPenguin, are you able to look into the chats on your side and verify what occured?

 

Furthermore, there are no records that indicate what happened to the dirt after it was supposedly put in. In fact your records show an additional trade being performed afterwards in the same chest. If another trade occurred in the chest, it is extremely likely that

1. Person would not trade in the chest with an illegal trade item. If they report to a mod, the removal of the dirt would have left logs, which had to occur between 14:57 -15:22, but no logs are displayed or:
2. Person would take the dirt, and would therefore leave their own log.

Records on the server have shown that it is possible for logblock to mess up as shown by:

If there is any additional doubt that I did not do the trade, I believe that reading the chat logs on the server side would match the chat logs that I posted about my private chat with ShiloKitty12. I believe the chat logs would show that I had no intent whatsoever to do an illegal trade. Furthermore when ShiloKitty12 says: "srry " in the private chat after I warned her that it was illegal, it is an admission of guilt that she tried to do a dirt trade.

What I believed could have possibly occurred was that when I put the acacia sapling inside the chest and the dirt was put in, I took out the acacia sapling very quickly but this could have occurred before the chest on the server could update. As the logblock knew I put in some item, it assigned my log to the only item remaining in the chest which was the dirt.

I don't have anything to hide from the mods nor do I gain anything if I do. I just want to return to the server and work on my island.
