Ban appeal.
#1
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): Hometown

Minecraft username: Jackjoru

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): Banned for X-Ray

Who banned you: esptree, ThatOneWolfie, and Nether_Ruler

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): My ban was a bit more than a year ago, and I have honestly had that bit of regret in my mind whenever I think of Minecraft in general. This was the first server and the only one I've ever put real time and effort into, and I'm glad I did. I just feel like I could've done better, and it only adds more salt to the wound knowing that the only reason I even got an x-ray pack was because I was jealous of the amount of money I had, and how it seemed small compared to others at the time. I do believe that the thing I was doing with X-Ray was mining for netherite, which is honestly quite foolish, considering how there was an event which I'm quite sure had happened a day before the time I had been banned, that literally was just, "Get rich". My dumb brain even played it off like I hadn't been cheating, and I hate that. Just goes to show how little I cared back then.

Why do you want to come back: As I stated previously, its been a bit more than a year since my ban, and I'm almost 14 (two years older than I was when I was first banned, wow..), so I've had a lot of time to reflect. It feels almost de-humanizing knowing that I was banned in such a stupid way. I could've done better, and I feel I'm ready to make a change. I just can't explain how I've felt, legitimately. I took almost a year break from Minecraft because of how I felt. I'd also like to add, that if I get unbanned, Do me a favor and let me get a fresh start. I want to work for everything again like I was meant to, even the things I had earned legit. Valuable items/Event items I'd like to request go to owners who deserve them. In conclusion, my previous greed for the top spot pretty much overtook my mind, and I want to fix that, so please, I'd like to be unbanned and be allowed to once again have fun on this server that I hold so close to me. (I'm sorry for the sob story that I had to make whoever is reading this go through, I felt like I had so much to say after all of this time, and just miss everyone I used to know. If I don't get unbanned, then well, it was worth a shot. And as stated previously, I'd like my LEGALLY obtained possessions to be given away to other people.) 

(Editing note I need to put here. I feel like my situation is a good model of what NOT to do when you want something. Instead, work for it, and have fun in the process. That's all from me until I get a response, so, goodbye!)

I was honestly incredibly surprised when it was called to my attention that you were xraying by Cil and esp. It’s not every day I see an Advanced xraying. Most know better by that point, especially those who were able to get hundreds of thousands of dollars two days prior at the anniversary event.

I appreciate the honesty in your appeal, it makes both of our lives considerably easier. Before I consider your appeal, I have a few questions for you to answer. There’s no strict requirement for length, but do keep in mind that shorter responses don’t typically have the depth that I’m looking for.
1) What is the impact that xray has on multiplayer survival servers like ours? Why is it disallowed?
2) How do you plan on making sure this doesn’t happen again? As I mentioned before, you should’ve known better as an Advanced.
3) Do you understand that if you are unbanned, you are on a short leash, and that further punishment may result in a permanent ban? (This one can be yes/no).


Do keep in mind that if you are unbanned, all diamond/netherite belongings of yours will be confiscated and your balance will be set to $0.

1: The impact is quite simple in my opinion, the economy. Kinda like real life, ya have too much of something, it starts to become less valuable. Its not allowed for a good few reasons, I know that, but I think the most notable one is the previously stated economy and this: The server's "Cash" or "Balance" or "Money" system, (whatever ya wanna call it), and making sure people don't have too much.
2: Well, multiple ways. Ever since I got banned, as previously stated, I've had a lot (a little too much) of time to reflect. I've completely wiped everything related to X-Ray/cheats (not saying I had any real cheats, just clarifying that I have none) from my computers, USBs, etc.
3: Yeah, I honestly completely understand. There's so many different ways that cheating can affect multiplayer servers and I kinda feel like it would be pretty hard to believe me after what I did previously if something bad were to take place and I was the main suspect.
4 (extra note): As stated previously, I'm not really that worried about my possessions anymore. I'm just looking for an (almost) completely fresh start in the server, and even the items or builds I keep I'm just gonna burn, give to other players, or destroy. I'm honestly just kinda excited to see the server I used to love and adore again after so long, and have a nice experience playing like I did for the first time. (also I'm so sorry I took WAY too long to respond, school n' stuffs lolz, and benchmarks and tests are the WORST in 8th ;~; )

No worries about the response time, I completely understand. Life goes on outside of the server.

After conferring with the rest of the Mod+ team, we have decided to unban you. As is protocol, your balance has been reset to $0 and any diamond/netherite items/blocks/tools in your possession have been confiscated.

Welcome back to HomeTown.
