To start, I'm sorry to hear about your brother, and hope he has a speedy and smooth recovery.
Since Duty is currently on [Vacation] from the staff team and not responding to ban appeals, I (formerly LyingStar, now Nether_Ruler) will be replying instead.
It's been almost a year since your last appeal (https://hometownmc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=6293), where instead of appealing properly you decided to use AI to write your appeal for you. I appreciate you admitting to x-ray and to using AI, but I'm going to need a little more from you due to a) the severity of your ban, b) the fact that you've been banned for an egregious issue in the past, and c) that you cheated in your previous appeal. I'm going to ask you some questions to make sure that you understand what you did was wrong. The expectation is not perfection, but honesty and thought. Most x-ray appeals don't get accepted with short sentences. I'm not giving you a minimum, but keep in mind that the best x-ray appeals are the ones that are long and thought-out.
1. What specific advantages does x-ray give you over other players, and how does that impact the server's community and economy?
2. What led you to x-ray, and how to you plan to ensure you won't make similar decisions in the future?
3. What do you think the purpose of having rules like a no-cheating policy on a community-based server like ours is? Why is it important to follow these rules?
4. Imagine another player admits to using x-ray after being caught. What would you say to them about why their behavior is harmful and why they should avoid it?
5. Why is using AI in appeals not allowed?
I'm aware some of the questions slightly overlap. Don't worry about repeating yourself if you find you need to. Just answer each question as if it was its own without worrying about your answer to the previous.
