Why we should consider your appeal:

I am assuming here that this ban is for skyblock as I found Quaddy on my island, and he ignored me when I tried to request the reason from him. If this is not, please correct me. I was mining cobblestone when I found him. I am assuming that the Hacked Client/Macro I was using was for the cobblestone I was mining. I do not use any third party software to mine cobblestone, simply hold my mouse down and have hoppers collect the cobblestone. Because mining cobblestone is extremely boring, I often watch other things using a second monitor. I do not leave the area, and frequently look back to my computer screen. If this is illegal, I was not aware and it was not included in the Skyblock rules section. Obviously, external clients used to gain an advantage in the game is illegal server wide, however I did not use one. Quaddy, if you believe I used an external client please reply with what you found.

 

So, the ban is for "afk" mining? I understand how that could be illegal on a skyblock server, however as I stated before nothing was mentioned in Skyblock rules about it. I also cannot see how it pertains to a Hacked Client/Macro seeing that no third party software was involved.

In the video, there were 4 time intervals where Quaddy's presence was noticeable on my screen for a total of 47 seconds out of the 6 mins.(Excluding the 3 times he may or may not have stood in front of me at the beginning of the video)

2:50->2:58 (8 Seconds)

3:53->4:12 (19 Seconds)

4:42 -> 4:49 (7 Seconds)

5:25->5:38 (13 Seconds)

My attention was not away from the screen for a consecutive six minutes. As I said before, I will use a second monitor to do other things and periodically check back on this one. I never leave the area. I remember the time when this video was taken because of TrommerBJ's Question: "Do you get anything for winning the daily top 8 in kitpvp?". I checked back on my screen one of the two times he asked this question and questioned it myself.
I was watching an episode of Castle on my second screen when this video was taken.

If Quaddy is not referring to the "afk" part of this video and instead on how I consumed several stone pickaxes while appearing to be away from the computer screen; then I can see how a macro would be involved. I do not in fact use a macro for this task, simply look back every few minutes and press a number to switch tools on my hotbar.

If "afk" mining of this sort is illegal, I apologize for my actions. Thank you for your response on this BooBear.
