Hello Mods/OPs,

     Today I was banned. I wish to appeal this ban, due to the fact I believe I should be given a second chance, on account of multiple reasons.

Reason of Ban: Setting /home as a death trap.

Length of Ban: 2 weeks.

My reasoning: I was banned for setting my home as a death trap. I do not deny the fact I did this, however I believe I have enough reasoning to help me at least shorten my appeal.

    First of all, I am a fairly new player, and was unaware of the rule. I am fully aware ignorance is not an excuse, but I believe the ban is a bit long for this. While killing people is against the rules, no one was required to go to my /home. It was only set there for an interval of a few minutes, in which was a time period where the likelihood of someone being killed was extremely low. Of the people that did go, they were friends I had told what it was, and they emptied their inventory and knew they would die.

    I had sent out a message in global chat telling people to come to my home, however I specifically stated they would be killed. I did not make this home with the intention of malicious use, but as a few minutes of fun with my friends. I in no way tricked people to come or told them something that wasn't true.

    In summary, I believe this ban should at least be shortened, but it is my belief it should be removed. I have no previous citations, and it was truly an accident. I have full respect for the mod that banned me, I appreciate the fact he was doing his job and just keeping the server a safer and more enjoyable place to be. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider my appeal.

Sincerely,
NickTheHoe
