[ban appeal]

Minecraft Username: CactusSS

Reason: I was caught griefing the city I was in a while ago and was perma banned. I did it to get in-game money but never realized the consequences. This was my favorite server and I never realized how much it meant to me until I was banned. I apologize for griefing and causing any inconvenience to the victims.

Counter-Reason: On another note, I trimmed sugar canes and broke melons, leaving them in a regrowing state. Within a short time they would grow back, it was more like borrowing my neighbors crops only to have them regrow within a day. In my eyes, that's really no harm done, but I was banned.

Evidence: I broke the following rules and I humbly apologize:
Clause 1 - Griefing

• Grief is defined as breaking or destroying things that do not belong to you, including breaking and replacing things to get to places that otherwise you shouldn't be going (for example, breaking into someone's house.) This can also extend to building things in areas that do not belong to you.
  • This is not allowed in protected towns under any circumstance, and the owner of a town is welcome to put in a Grief Report and Rollback Request whenever they find grief within their town in order to have it investigated.
• The only exception to this is in the case that the owner of the town makes griefing allowable within the town. They must inform all residents of such a rule upon the residents joining the town.
• When a grief report is filed, grief is graded on a sliding scale of minor/moderate/major based on the amount and severity of damage done, and is determined based on staff guidelines by the staff member investigating the situation. It is also determined at that time whether the grief is bad enough to warrant a rollback.
• Grief in the wild is frowned upon, but allowed. Staff will not take any action in the case of wild grief.
• Please see Section 7 for rules regarding grief in the Aether, Nether and Mining World.
