Please Unban - Dark_Lord_Rusch - 09-30-2016
b]Server you were banned on HomeTown
Minecraft name: Dark_Lord_Rusch
Reason for your ban: X-Ray
Who banned you: Grimm_Wolfe
Why should you be unbanned: I love the server, its calm. Everyone is happy and has fun. I can't find really any server that has the admin/mod connection with the players as this server has. And good catch Wolfe. Yes I use X-Ray, but I don't benefit myself from it. All I want to do is get building quick because the time I get is somewhat limited, I am married and have a kid. So the time I am not busy in real life with real life things I like to come on and I barely get time unless I am working night shifts. I only have used xray to get the blocks I need to build. I used to own a server forever ago and just built willy nilly. Little harder now due to not having my own server and a set of responsibilities that I do. I hope I can join back in the fun with you guys.
Why do you want to come back: I guess I ran on with the last part, but I can understand your policies. I respect them. I just suck at survival and no one is ever in the creative world to appreciate the builds that I do. I built the Bismark and its fish tank on the creative server and it just sits there :\ I want to feel appreciated with what I make and I want it to be seen. I am sorry for breaking the rules and I am sure I will have damn near everything revoked and taken from me for breaking those rules.
Thank you for your time reading if you should .

Alright, first, I want to say that I'm appreciative of your honesty. When it comes to ban appeals, I only have two rules:
– You lie, you get denied as I can prove the crime.
– You tell the truth, you get a fair chance to be unbanned and no hard feelings.
Second, I want you to reflect on what I'm about to tell you: you're lucky. There was a period in HomeTown history where getting caught cheating equated to an immediate, permanent IP-ban with no hope of coming back. Even if they were a [VIP3], they were gone. We've moved beyond that though. That being said, a staff-member may still make an x-ray ban permanent at their discretion; I am not one of them. I reserve permanent bans for malicious behaviors, repeat offenders, and vehement liars.
Now, If you want to be unbanned, then you'll need to show an in-depth understanding of why x-raying is bad. This "test" is administered to both allow you to understand the full extent of your actions and why you should never x-ray on any server. It's simple, there are 5 parts/questions that you need to answer with a whole paragraph each; these are short-essay questions. If you complete it sufficiently, then you have a good chance at being unbanned.
Here are the questions:
- Why is x-raying/cheating bad by its nature?
- How does x-raying/cheating affect others?
- How does x-raying/cheating affect the server's economy?
- How will you take this moment and learn from it, and how will you apply it to playing legitimately?
- Finally, an apology after fully understanding the consequences.
