1. Server name (.net / .org): Skyblock.org 2. In-game name: mikemind 3. Full exact Ban Message: Banned: Bridging Greifing, Trading starter Items 4. Did you read the rules ? Yes, but it had been a while and I understand I should have read them again 5. Why do YOU think you were banned? At first, I was playing onan islandwith my friend, when he spotted another island. Me, (the rules fuzzy in my mind) decided to bridge over. When I gt closer to the island, I saw that there was no tree, nor any chest, so I assuemed that it was an abandoned island the server had for a bonus or something. (Now keep in mind I had my bucket in my inventory) I ended up falling off the island and therefore, losing my bucket. I got pretty freaked out since the island I had been working on the longest. So I said the message "Does anyone have a spare bucket?" I thought that starter items meant things like dirt, sand, or the one bucket someone has. Anyway, another player messaged me saying he had a spare bucket and would sell it to me for 12$. (He needed bones, so I gave him the money for it) Me, being desperate and not wanting to wait to vote everyday for a month, accepted the trade at the spawn. (I also accidently picked up a lava bucket, but I SWEAR I gave it back to the owner) After this incident, I went back over to the island. I debated pickin up a lava bucket, and I did because again, I wasn't thinking straight. But I promise you I DID put it back. As for the greifing, I got stuck on the lower level of the island I thought to be abandoned and dug out a few blocks to get back up, I'm not sure if I had the blocks in my inventory when I was banned, or if I had put them back. Looking back, I was an idiot for thinking it was a "bonus" island. -.- 6. Why do you think you should be unbanned? Honestly, I am truely sorry for what I had done. It was stupid of me to have the idea to bridge over to the island thinking it was abandoned. I should have looked at the rules again before I resumed playing. It was that action that started the bad change of events. I wouldn't have lost my bucket, therefore I wouldn't have had to trade. But I think I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. My island that my friend and I had been working on, had been very fun for me to build, not to mention my collection of music disks I had started to make. So when I lost the bucket, I freaked out and was desperate to countinue the island. As for the griefing, I solemly apoligize to the owner of the island and it was very idiotic of me to have haad the idea that I could go to this island. I know it may sound like I'm being a suck-up, but this was definatly my favorite skyblock server, the ability to trade and auction with numerous other features made it fun. I understand that what I did was wrong, and that I may not be unbanned (since I "greifed") but I really did love this server and I hope I can rejoin it. thank you, Stickbug11 (Mikemind) P.S no particular Mod/admin banned me, I forgot to mention that.
I just want to quickly add in that unless it is allowed, I have NEVER griefed anyone. I have never been kicked from a server. I didn't know bridging was illegal since I forgot the rules.
This is a pretty damned good example of a ban appeal. I'd approve it if I was the one that banned you.
Actually, because it didn't say what mod/admin banned him any mod or admin can give their input and i believe ultimately unban him. noobkilla101 said that in my ban appeal if you want to check that out.
