Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): HomeTown SMP
Minecraft username: "xoard" currently, but used to be "penpy" or "nwom" or some other username (I don't remember what username I had when I was banned)
Reason for your ban: Grief/diamond block theft
Who banned you: Banned by Illogical
Why should you be unbanned: This is a bit complicated! Long story short, I don't remember griefing or stealing diamond blocks, and I was surprised to realize I was banned when I tried to join using my "xoard" account.
To clarify, I don't wanna say I didn't do it though, because maybe I did, and I just completely forgot about it. It must've been a long time ago, because I also don't know when I was banned. From what I remember, I joined the server, didn't play on it much (I hardly did anything), thought it was neat (from what I explored), kept it in the bottom of my server list, and then left it for a long time until just a few minutes ago when I tried to rejoin out of curiosity. I know that comes off like a dishonest excuse to try to get unbanned, because like, it sounds like I'm not owning up to my own actions, but like, that's... It's just the truth! I don't know how else to put it - it sounds like I'm lying regardless of how I word it. If it helps you believe me, I actually don't mind not getting unbanned. This isn't an attempt to use reverse-psychology. Like I said, I hardly played on this server, so I have no personal attachment to it. Even if I am unbanned, it’s extremely unlikely that I’ll play on it for more than just a few minutes anyway, so my point is that it really doesn't benefit me to be dishonest here. In fact, in the case that I really did deserve this ban, wouldn't it be risky to unban me from your perspective? What if I'm lying about all this? That'd make me a griefer, a diamond block thief, and a liar!
So you might be wondering, why am I writing a ban appeal anyway if I don't want to be unbanned? Well, it's mostly just because I wanna figure out the details - I don't consider myself a griefer or a thief, so it's uncharacteristic of me to be banned from a server like this, and that's interesting to me. Did I really grief someone's build and/or steal diamond blocks from them? From who? Where was my last log-out location? Was it at the place I supposedly griefed and/or stole from? So many questions! I just want them answered.
Why do you want to come back: Like I said, my goal isn't really to get unbanned. In fact, I've already done another thing I assume is ban-worthy; ban-evading (along with my banned "xoard" account, I have other accounts including "qoard" and "poard"). Neither qoard nor poard are banned from the server, and a few minutes ago, I logged on using those accounts to confirm that I've been on here before. Actually, this leads me to my theory as to why I got banned. For context, xoard is my oldest account (from 2012), but I think my memories of being on this server are from when I briefly played using poard (maybe about a year ago). I asked around, and a few people told me this server is over decade old, I think? So, it's possible that the reason why I don't remember griefing or stealing is because I did in fact do those things, but that it was so long ago that I just completely forgot about it, and I just happened to come across the same server by coincidence years later. But that mostly relies on the date I was banned, which isn't something I know. Anyway, sorry for the unorthodox ban appeal (not really an appeal). I'm unfamiliar with these forums, and this seemed like the best place to put this.
TL;DR: I'm not necessarily asking to be unbanned. I'm mostly just curious about the exact details of my ban (especially the date it occurred), because I don't remember griefing and/or stealing like it says I did, and I suspect that it's because I was banned a long time ago. I'm hoping y'all could share any information you have if that's possible! If not, that's fine, and I apologize if this is a waste of time, especially since it's not really a ban appeal.
