When you were banned: Some time earlier today

Reason for ban: Duplication exploit

Ban Length: Permanent

Staff member who issued ban: Deinen

Why we should consider your appeal: First of all, I would like to say that what I did exploited no duping or other glitches within minecraft or meepcraft. It only took advantage of mechanics already in the game which were supposed to be there and were not accidentally added by mojang (like the obby-redstone glitch). I can understand how this may have been frowned upon by the staff due to the sheer amount of money I profited from it, however farms with these huge profits have been abused in the past (like gold, coal etc.) and whilst they were nerfed, there were no punishments given to the owners of these machines. I would happily like to explain how the machine works and uses the minecraft mechanics to the staff members who may have thought this was an actual duping glitch in order to help my case.

Additionally, I understand that when I built this machine before it was removed, however, the only staff contact I had received was from Sjoe earlier who said it was legal and that I could make a profit off it. I even tried to ask other staff members why the machine had been removed but I was given no response.

So overall, I can understand why the staff may have been against me doing this, however seeing as I exploited no glitches, there is nothing in the rules against me doing this and I was given no warnings from a staff member (I was actually given the OK by one), I believe this ban was wrongly placed and should be removed from my record.

Please give any other information you might think is useful for us to know: Nope said it all above.

Also here is the screenshot of the OK from sjoe. I couldn't attach it to my initial post due to the new ban appeal format thingy:

 

Unbanned. I sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding. While I hope you can understand how we came to this conclusion, we will review this incident and learn from it ourselves. I will alter your current ban reason to reflect this outcome, and then issue an unban.
