Why we should consider your appeal:
I will start this appeal of by first saying how sorry I am and how stupid I was. I'm not going to profess my innocence or even partly deny it. What I did was wrong, stupid and immature. Now into the details. About a week before when the beta version of the new shop was put up in olympics me and some others got some ender pearls and were messing around and having some fun like getting fly and having fights in the arena. There were signs that gave you armour and golden apples. After a fun day on Meep I retired to got to bed. After a couple of days I found myself in the olympics area again and the shop was up. This is when my stupid mistake happened. Now about 1-2 weeks before said incident I have been rank selling and made 7mill and make myself the 15th richest guy on Meep. I had spent over £100 on the selling of these ranks on were not just doing it for my benefit but also for the people whom were getting the rank and the server which I have been a part of for a year and a half. I wanted to make money, make people happy and help the server expand and grow whilst being a part of it. Now back the appeal, when I found out that the shop was open I had a adrenaline rush, and turned greedy, I wanted more and in about 10 secs it was over I had sold the golden apples and made 2.7mill. I knew right after I did it that it was wrong and didn't know what to do, so I logged off. Next day I was banned. I knew it was coming for what I had done was wrong.

Now, after a day I have thought about what I did and why I want to come back. I love this server with all my shallow heart and want to be a part of it, in it's good days and bad ones. I love the community and the staff, for all the great work they do and being awesome. What I did was cheat the community and the thriving economy of the server for my own needs, which made my conscience kill it's self. What I am asking for is another chance for me to show that I can change and will change so that nothing like this will every happen again whilst also getting unbanned. I apologise to that staff that have to deal with this and the server it's self for cheating it. Please forgive me, because I don't know what ill do without Meep in my life.

Now, if my appeal doesn't get accepted please ignore this:
I have come to the conclusion that my money has been whipped to 0 because it is a money related issue. If I had made my money 'legit' is some peoples eyes, that is to say doing things like selling on the v-shop and pvping that I would be happy to lose my money for my mistake, but that isn't the case. About a week before that I got bought people ranks using over £100 of my own money to get 7mill. Even tho I made the mistake and I broke the rule I can't help feel a little scammed as the money is still going to help the server expand and is still making people happy but I have lost the part that benefits me. So because I spent so much of my real life money that I spent time and effort making please if I get unbanned could I have a refund of that money? I would not even mind if you took off like a mill as an extra punishment because I deserve it. Just please take a second to consider it.

Thanks for reading.

This is something I forgot to put in:
The money I spent (over £100) was just for my buying ranks for people this is not counting me buying myself Ultimate, this does not mean I should get special treatment but it shows my dedication to the server and how much I am willing to spent to see Meep thrive.

Also as much as I respect other peoples views, a ban appeal is not the place for them. Only Helper+ should comment unless directly related to the appeal.

EDIT: Grammer

 

Did you use /pay after making the money in the Olympics server?

 

After further research, you are been fined and unbanned.
