I was recently banned (pending appeal) for taking from what appeared to be an abandoned build. I'm new-ish on this server still, and did not think I was out of bounds from the rulebook, because nothing I touched was claimed. I had always thought claimed=owned, not claimed=chancing it to strangers. This idea is supported by the warning that comes up when you build out of your claim, warning you that what you're doing is not protected. After reading other ban appeals, i can also see I'm certainly not the first person to have this apparent misconception.
   The enforcer who banned me says that where I was was owned, despite not being claimed. If it is possible to own something without claiming it merely by being the first one to change blocks there, what stops me or anyone from placing a small shelter  every 100 blocks across a swath of the map (per the existing rules) and thus rendering a huge area unbuildable for everyone because I "own" it (by the banners reasoning, anyway).
   My point in this post is not to say that what I did was right or that nothing should have happened (well, maybe a little) but really to bring attention to this weak spot in the rules. There needs be a concise definition of what constitutes ownership on the server, and how that relates to a claim or not.

It's Idkpop again! I haven't been on the server in a long time and I figured since I'm having a break, I would come to check it out again. Feel free to comment and say hi! I probably will pop in from time to time. Just to connect with people, I enjoy kpop and animals. I'm also pretty calm about things, so I'll see you around!

Enjoy your day~

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: ManInKilt

Reason for your ban: Griefing/Theft

Who banned you: Rayvenz

Why should you be unbanned: I was banned for taking emeralds and 2 shulker boxes. I found them in a thing that i was told in the chat was a long abandoned project from someone who hadn't logged on in ages, nothing was claimed, i figured that was that and somebody died and left the boxes and never came back to get them. I didnt think it was an issue at the time, but i was quite wrong.

Why do you want to come back: If allowed back, i will stay in my own lane and not go near things that even look like someone else has been there, claimed or not. It was a mistake to do it in the first place, but thinking "what could happen" i did and it got me banned. I'd also like to come back because i like my house and i help a friend with his castle thing. I can return the shulker boxes if whoever had them wants them, they're in my house. I don't know how many emeralds i have but i can give them too and $ to make up the difference if that can be assessed. 

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: TheLastKnight101

Reason for your ban: x-ray

Who banned you: Nuked

Why should you be unbanned: Hello Hometown moderator, I have been banned for x-ray, and is appealing right now.  I am so sorry for the inconvenience on your server and I want to apologize for that.  If you choose to un-ban me that would be great, but if you don't that is okay.  This will teach me a lesson of why I should not hack/cheat.    

Why do you want to come back: I wish to play with my friends and family again.

Just a dolphin man.

Can someone buy me vip 2 please? I'm really looking to get access to fly. I'm able to pay up to 30,000 in game currency. My ign is warmspot not skeletalsock . Thanks!

Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP

Minecraft name: NoMgc

Reason for your ban: Grief

Who banned you: Nuked

Why should you be unbanned: I honestly don't know what I griefed and I haven't played for a day or two but if I did grief anyone I'm sorry. I know how it feels to get griefed on a server you are actively playing and I would never want anyone to feel that way. That is why if I find out I have wronged someone I always give more than they say I have took.

Why do you want to come back: Starting to like playing Minecraft again and I only come to play with my little sister. This is pretty much what we have in common and I would like to continue our adventure. 

I was thinking... I have seen other server homepages with a giant server map on their homepage... could we add one for this server or am I just shooting for the moon? good/bad Idea?  :b

I have been banned from this server for crop grief and would like to be welcomed backed. I was unaware this was against the rules since it has been a long time since I reviewed the rules. If you would let me back on I promise to replant the crops I broke. My username is kungpaokasei if you wish to let me back on to your wonderful server.

alright so, I just now realized that a youtube channel by the name of Namstantial uploaded this video

as well as this Imgur thread

This collection of video and images shows supposed "proof" of C10H15Nitrogen and I hacking.
I will not deny C10H15Nitrogen hacking, as I believe he was. However, I have never logged into this server using a hacked client. this server has never even been on the server list on my Impact client, which iI use ONLY on anarchy servers which permit the use of it.
I have made a video demonstrating the method i used to walk on the water with no hacks/mods.

Please be aware that I am not accusing Nam of submitting false reports, as, from his/her perspective, it looked like I was actually hacking.
I am not writing this thread to discourage reporting hackers, or to call Nam a liar. Nam was trying to do what he/she thought was the right thing to do, and it was. If you see someone hacking, be sure to report it. However, also do take into consideration that they may not be hacking and consider other possibilities before reporting people.
