Hi, this is the owner of said ocean monument. I am not sure that you were banned specifically for griefing my monument, but I would like to say that "we took blocks from it wasn't claimed and we didn't take that much in comparison to the whole temple" is not sufficient.
Claiming on Hometown does not necessarily mean creating a claim with the shovel. There was definitely a claim structure that I built on top of it. It clearly said to not touch the monument.
You took a sizable portion off the top of the temple. It doesn't matter that you left a large chunk of it left.
Even if staff had decided that my claim was invalid, frankly, I'm a bit appalled that I was notified in no methods beforehand and I was simply left with a sign replacing the one I had previously placed there saying "Lizarddude and Cupcakedude have seized this. Capitalism."
Anyways, I completely understand how you might be angry with how players have snatched up and claimed a lot of the new world that had come with the update 1.13.1, but I feel like you have not handled this properly.
