i am so sorry - n4teglitch - 11-19-2025
Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): SMP
Minecraft username: .n4teglitch (Bedrock)
Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): "You have been banned from this server. Reason: x-ray. Banned by melaniebeedot. Zero tolerance policy! if you want to appeal... this better be good. hometownmc.com/banned"
Who banned you: melaniebeedot
Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): Hello i wnt to explain eveything as clearly as i can i know that using x ray is not allowed on the server and i unerstand that it gives an unfair advntage At the time i was not thinking about how it afected the server or the other plyers and that was a big mistake i take full responsibility for what i did and i am not trying to deny anything i understand the rules now and i understand why the server has a zero tolerance policy for things like x ray After geting banned i spent a lot of time thinking about it and i honestly regret what i did i miss the server and i miss playing with eveyone in a fair way i know trst is hard to give back but I am asking for one more chace to show that I can follow the rules If I am unbanned I will play completely legit and i will not break any rule again i want to prove that i can be a positive player and not someone who causes prblems i hope you can see that i am being honest and that i really want to fix my mistake
Why do you want to come back: hometown smp was the main server i played on and i really enjoyed my time there. i put a lot of effort into my builds and my progress and it meant something to me. i enjoed talking to the players and being part of the comunity. it felt like a fun place to relax at the end of the day. i want to retrn so i can continue my progress in a fair and honest way. i want to be part of the server again and play normally without using anything that breaks the rules. I hope I can come back and show that i can be trusted. Thank you for reading my appeal and taking the time to look at it.
RE: pls unban me guys - melaniebeedot - 11-19-2025
I'm curious why you deleted your previous appeal and made this new, much shorter one?
RE: pls unban me guys - melaniebeedot - 11-19-2025
Following our conversation in discord, please edit your appeal and keep in mind the guidelines I pointed out to you, namely this one:
PSA - X-raying and hacking appeals are accepted on very few occasions. An x-ray/hacking appeal must be long and well written in order to even be considered. Before making an x-ray/hacking appeal, please put as much effort as possible or it will be denied.
You can also add on to address the use of AI in your first appeal and the ban appeals rule #7 that you broke.
RE: i am so sorry - melaniebeedot - 11-21-2025
Thank you for writing your own appeal this time. I still would like you to address the fact that your first appeal broke ban appeal rules #7 as we discussed in discord and that I already asked you to address in my previous post above.
In addition to that, please answer the following questions about x-ray so I can make sure you fully understand the impact from all aspects:
1. Why do you think we have a zero-tolerance policy on x-ray, including any x-ray-like mining activities?
2. How does x-raying and x-ray-like mining affect other players? How does it affect shop owners? How does it affect the server's economy as a whole?
3. Why should a second chance be given to someone who was well aware of the rules and chose to break them anyway?

1. Why do you think we have a zero-tolerance policy on x-ray, including any x-ray-like mining activities?
I understand that x-raying is strictly baned because it gives players an unfair advantage. It bypases normal gameplay, leting someone find valuable resources instantly instead of earning them through effort. This breaks the fairness of the game and goes against the comunity rules, so a zero-tolerance policy is necessary to keep the sever fun and fair for everyone.
2. How does x-raying and x-ray-like mining affect other players? How does it affect shop owners? How does it affect the server's economy as a whole?
X-raying harms other players because it gives one person access to resourcs that others have to work hrd to earn. For shop owners, it makes their efforts meaningless, because somone could flood the market with items obtained unfairly, reducing the value of everyone else’s work. On a server-wide level, x-raying destabilizes the ecnomy, cause unfair competition, and can make the gme feel frustrating or unfair for the community, which hurts the oerall player experience.
3. Why should a second chance be given to someone who was well aware of the rules and chose to break them anyway?
Even though I knew the rules, I made a mistake, and I fully accept respnsibility. A second chance should be given because I have reflected on my actions, I understand the consequences, and I’m committed to folowing the rules fully in the future. I’ve learned that beaking the rules not only affects me but also the entire comunity, and I won’t make the same mistake again.
there might be some speling mistakes since my keyboard is broken
i am also sorry for the late response because it was 1:23 in the morning when you posted this
