Hello Eru_Turin, You griefed three beacons and their bases along with griefing the floor of a wither farm built into a nether fortress.

Quote:I was exploring a strange fortress in the nether and found some beacons there, never seen these things before, figured they were part of the fortress, so I took them out of the nether. 

This is your excuse, and giving you benefit of the doubt. Regardless of if this was your first time to the nether and you honestly did not know that stone slabs, stained glass, and beacons don't naturally spawn in the nether. 
You should have asked in global chat first before deciding to steal them from the user who rightfully owns the area.
If you had asked around you would have been given the answer to if they were ok to take or not. 

Generally if you arent sure of something, you shouldn't act before getting an answer.

Quote:Then a mod tped me back and asked me where they were. I told them the honest truth and they instantly banned me. I'm very new to the game so I honestly didn't know I had done something wrong. 

Yes this is true, because you broke server rules and did nearly 900 blocks of damage to another users area- this is not a minor offence and all who do such damage must appeal.

Since your argument is only that you didn't know, I will accept your appeal on the condition that this doesn't happen again, you ask before taking something you arent sure naturally generated, and return any left over griefed items to staff upon returning.

If you can agree to this you will be unbanned.
