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

Minecraft username: MeowDuo

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): "Stealing from unlocked containers at /warp lostandfound."

Who banned you: SelfAwareDorito

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): Firstly, I'm sorry. I got those items and it was actually really dumb of my part getting them. When SelfAwareDorito notified me, I wanted to answer but I needed to leave the game for some minutes and when I returned I was already banned. If I was unbanned, I would be happy to give all the items I got, back, and I promise I'll be more cautious than that, as I already did some other mistakes like that.

Why do you want to come back: The server has a active player base, which is kinda rare for a smp like this and I was already making some "friends". I would be sad to lose this being dumb...

I wrote this just after the ban a little too fast, I'm able of giving more info if needed

[SelfAwareDorito]

As you were also banned on another account for ban evasion, please update your appeal to reflect this.

We'll proceed once it's amended.

[MeowDuo]

What? I haven't tried to enter in the server. What account was that?

[SelfAwareDorito]

Do you happen to know who Poppygamer3449 is? They logged in yesterday from the same IP as you.

[MeowDuo]

LOL... THAT'S MY SISTER'S ACCOUNT (sorry)


Anyways, yes, I know that account, but it is not mine and I didn't ban evade, as it was my sister

[SelfAwareDorito]

Ooops!! Looks like the staff member that was online when she logged in was under the impression it was you, and mistakenly banned her. I'll get that sorted on our end, sorry about that!

I appreciate you being honest and owning up to what you did. What do you mean when you say "I already did some other mistakes like that."?

[MeowDuo]

Well, firstly, by "like that", I mean sounding like a true bad person.

  For exemple, I already ACCIDENTALLY took a second stack from warp /freefood. I won't remember the guy who notified me, but i sounded like "don't steal from me, pls". As I said, accidental, and I got to just give it back in the exact moment.
  Still fell like that's related, even that one was accidental dumb and the other I was just real dumb, so I should be more cautios so I don't do any small or big bad thing =)


  By the way, I fell really bad for what I did, 'cause (probably) my items went to the lost & found for ban eviction, and, if someone did what I did, I would lose all of the items . Yeah, I fell guilty

[SelfAwareDorito]

No worries, I sincerely appreciate you being forthcoming regardless!

To move forward, please answer the below questions:

Why did you take the items from the warp despite knowing you weren't allowed to?
Why is it important for people to respect the server rules?
What have you learned from this experience?

Please try to answer with 2-3 sentences and as usual, please don't use AI for your responses (I don't think you used it in this appeal, but it's something we say regardless)

[MeowDuo]

Answering the questions:

1) Why did you take the items from the warp despite knowing you weren't allowed to?

   Firstly, to be honest, I don't really know why. It was a mix of "I’m broke," "I’m an idiot," and an extremely poor interpretation of "if you don’t want it, leave it here."...

   Being clear, of course being broke or the poor interpretation don't justify anything

2) Why is it important for people to respect the server rules?

   It is important, because breaking them won't only hurt the server, in general, but the players that just want to have a good time. Stealing, specifically, attacks them directly, situations in which, at times, they are unable to defend themselves.  

3) What have you learned from this experience?

   I have learned that:

 1 - Despite being "abandoned", the items absolutely aren't free. (I already knew that, just good to remember...)

 2 - Taking the easy way will just make the situation worse (Being broke -> Being banned)

 3 - Reading the rules correctly is kinda important...

Thanks for answering the questions! I think you fully understand what happened and what went wrong, so I'm going to proceed with lifting the ban. As of this post, you're unbanned from the server however, please note that you will need to return the following items:

192 redstone dust
4 redstone blocks
117 slime balls
64 coal
64 raw gold
1 gold block
48 spruce logs
29 emeralds
33 item frames
8 bee hives
5 exp bottles
4 diamonds
2 ancient debris
1 end chest

1 diamond axe
1 diamond pickaxe
1 bucket of milk
1 name tag
1 emerald block
1 swift sneak 3 book
10 flow armour trims
1 stone cutter
29 empty shulker boxes

I will give you 1 full week to return all of the above to a staff member. Please ensure you prioratize this when you come back online.

Welcome back to Hometown!
