Ban Appeal and Sincere Apology - .Black_scythe850 - 02-02-2025
Server i were banned on (SMP/Discord):
SMP
SMP Minecraft username:
.Black_scythe850
Reason for my ban:
X-Ray
Who banned you:
the4neko and essayjinx
Why should I be unbanned:
I sincerely apologize for using x-ray on Hometown SMP. I now realize it was unfair to the community and violated the server's rules. As a new member, I should have respected the guidelines from the start. I take full responsibility for my actions and deeply regret my mistake. Minecraft is about playing fairly, and by cheating, I deprived myself of the genuine experience while disrespecting others’ hard work. I’ve learned from this and am committed to following the rules and contributing positively to the server if given another chance.
Why do I want to come back:
Though I’m new to Hometown SMP, I’ve already come to appreciate the community and the fun, collaborative experience the server offers. I regret letting cheating get in the way of that experience. I want to return, play honestly, and continue contributing to the server. I’m ready to approach Hometown SMP with a fresh mindset, focused on respect, integrity, and fairness.

Hi, ty for being honest and thank you for updating your ban appeal. While your appeal is not bad, I want to ask few more questions just to make sure you fully understand why xray is against the rules.
1) How do you understand Zero Tolerance Policy and why you think we have Zero Tolerance Policy for xray or similar cheats?
2) How does xray impact other players?
3) How can we be sure you won't break the rules again?

1) How do I understand the Zero Tolerance Policy, and why do I think there is a Zero Tolerance Policy for X-ray or similar cheats?
I understand that a Zero Tolerance Policy means certain rule violations, like using X-ray, are taken very seriously, and there are strict consequences for breaking them. The reason this policy exists for X-ray and similar cheats is that they create an unfair advantage by allowing players to obtain resources much faster than those who play fairly. This disrupts the balance of the server and goes against the spirit of fair gameplay.
2) How does X-ray impact other players?
X-ray negatively impacts other players in multiple ways. First, it devalues the economy by making rare resources, like diamonds, much easier to obtain for those who cheat, making them worth less for those who mine legitimately. Second, it discourages fair play, as honest players may feel frustrated when they see others progressing unfairly. Lastly, it can reduce the overall enjoyment of the server, as competition and trading lose their meaning when some players use cheats.
3) How can you be sure I won’t break the rules again?
I now fully realize the seriousness of my actions and how they undermined the fairness and integrity of the server. By using X-ray, I not only broke the rules but also disrespected the efforts of honest players. I deeply regret my decision and can say with absolute certainty that I will never, under any circumstances, repeat this mistake.
This experience has made me more self-aware and reinforced my commitment to fairness, honesty, and responsible gameplay. If given another chance, I will strictly follow the rules, earn resources legitimately, and contribute positively to the community. I am also open to monitoring or periodic checks to ensure I uphold these values.
I truly value this server and its community. I want to regain trust, prove I have learned from this, and be part of the server in a way that aligns with its values of fair play and integrity.

So let's keep it short. Please ask ChatGPT or whatever AI you used for this appeal these two questions:
1) Why is using AI tools to write ban appeals for you against the rules?
2) Why on earth should we unban you if you first decide to cheat in game and then after being banned, you break the rules again (this time appeal rules) by using AI?
Appeal denied, if you wanna try, you can appeal again, this time write your appeal yourself and put a lot of effort into it, especially after trying to cheat on your first appeal.
