Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft username: 10guage_shotgun

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): I have been banned for x-raying

Who banned you: DiamondBlockBen

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): I, out of my own selfish greed, used a x-ray to obtain ores unfairly. I have wasted Ben's time and whatever other staff who helped him. I knew what I was doing. I knew it was wrong. I knew the consequences. I have learned a valuable lesson for further on my journey through life. The rewards from doing something wrong are no where near worth the consequences. There is absolutely no justifying what I did. Again it was out of my own selfish greed. I hope someone reads this and this at least fixes a little bit of something.

Why do you want to come back: This is the first server I have actually spent time on. The reason for this is because of the great community. I have made so many prime memories on this server that I will never forget. I loved everyone on this server and it hurts to realize I will never see them again.

Btw I'm not looking to be unbanned I just wanted to say sorry. I will continue to vote for this server though.

You seem to be well aware of what you did and that it was wrong. Before you can be unbanned, I would like for you to answer a few questions for other staff and me to look over when we consider your ban appeal.

1. Why do you think we have a zero-tolerance policy on x-ray, including any x-ray-like mining activities?

2. How does x-raying and x-ray-like mining affect other players? How does it affect shop owners? How does it affect the server's economy as a whole?

3. Why should a second chance be given to someone who was well aware of the rules and chose to break them anyway?

Also, I received word that you may have tried to evade your ban by logging on with a different account. Would you like to speak to that?

Hi DiamondBlockBen,
it has been some days. Not sure if you will read this but I just recently been reflecting upon my decisions. About the different account, if that account was "WindestPlace63" that is a relative and I plead you unban them. We have played together at the same time which I'm sure you were online to see. I would hate for someone to get banned because of my own wrong doing. Here are the answers to your questions.

1. The reason for a zero-tolerance ban is for the simple fact you know what you are doing. There is no reason or excuse for x-raying. It is for your own wealth and greed.

2. X-raying affects players by the distribution of fake, illegal goods obtained with X-ray. It poses a unfair advantage to other players and shop owners. If everyone could X-ray the economy would collapse.

3. There is no concrete reason why you should or should not. It is out of your own moral judgement rather a player should be or not be. To be honest, I can't think of an answer for this one rather than the one I have given. I don't really want the "10gauge_shotgun" account to be unbanned. I came here to set things right for my sibling and to undo the damage I've done.

With best regards,
10gauge_shotgun

To dear HomeTown staff,

I had recently found a message juan sent me about an operation he/her, decker, and someone else was doing to get me unbanned. Please tell them, if they have not done it yet, to not do it and that I asked. After careful reconsideration and reflecting upon I have realized what I did was wrong and I'm asking for a second chance. The mail I received changed everything and I wish to be brought back.

With best regards,
