Hello Opticraft.
Situation:
I have been banned for 5 days, due to the fact that I built an obsidian farm.
Reasons for appealing the ban:
• The farm uses naturally occurring lava from the roof of the nether, into a small 1x8 room making it similar to naturally occurring lava pools.
• I am pretty sure that the water found in the farm and around the base was not placed by me.
• I have not seen anywhere that obsidian farms are not allowed, though I do fully understand that cobblestone farms are not allowed.
• I do not see how the obsidian farm is any different to going through caves and pouring water on lava pools. They both allow you to collect obsidian, but with the farm, 1 redstone has to be obtained and used to produce 1 obsidian block. This makes the farm more useless and costly than caving for obsidian.
• On top of all this, I have not used the farm at all.
So due to the points listed above, I do not understand why this has led me to be banned for 5 days.
