Minecraft Username: a18greek18

Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name?: No, I have not changed my name

Which of ECC's services are you banned on? [Main Server]

Reason of Ban: Abuse of a glitch to gain profit

Rule violated:
Clause 3 - Exploits

• Abuse of any exploits, bugs, or glitches can result in a punishment based on the severity of abuse. Those are unfair "advantages" that can cause major issues for everyone on the server.
• When exploits are found, they need reported to the server owner immediately.
• Being a good sport and reporting issues (mainly severe exploits) could benefit you more than abusing them would. Game play is to be kept fair for everyone.

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means: This rule means that in no way should any player abuse any glitches/exploits on the server so that everything remains fair.

Reason you feel you think you should be unbanned: Before I start this wall of text I'd like to say that I was being honest in the sense that I had no idea that this was illegal. I couldn't find a rule which stated that taking money from a trade sign was illegal. Looking back on it, I do think that I tried to find a loophole in the rules and abuse our staff's system on how server rules are applied in-game. I knew it was a sketchy, horrible thing to do, but I went through with it anyway. For that, I apologize immensely to @jmichael214 @ClarinetPhoenix and @emongolab . I'd also love to apologize to @bmanvman . I don't know where to start with this man.. We've been through good and bad together and this may possibly be the worst. I let you down. I knew it was a horrible thing to do, but I went through with it anyway and I dragged you into it. First of all I shouldn't have went through on it and more importantly I shouldn't have brought you into the situation. I am incredibly sorry for getting this added to your record and getting you banned for three days. I know how much you love ECC and I never want to take it away from you again. The whole plan was my idea and you had nothing to do with it other than wrongfully trusting my opinion. I convinced you it was legal, and it turns out it wasn't. When/If I get back on, I'd love it if we could start over and be great friends again :)

Alright, so I'm going to be fully honest here... I did attempt to steal the money from jmichael's sign and I was hoping I wouldn't have to pay it back at all. After lottoing it and gaining profit from the lotto I thought returning the money would be the right thing to do because I made profit, and I had no need for the extra 130k. Taking the money in the first place was the wrong thing to do. It was very unethical and I should have listened to my conscience. To make matters worse I got one of my closest friends involved in the situation. Bman assumed what I said was true and it turned out not to be. As stated previously, I let you down. I also almost got another friend involved in the situation from a skype message. This would have only made matters worse. I was clearly not thinking straight. I almost stole all the money from the willclo fund. To be honest, that is disgraceful. I have no idea what to do or say next, but I'd like to thank you all for staying as kind as possible and sticking together as a community throughout this whole situation. Its what makes ECC so special. We're a family. Don't forget that.
