I've done what was requested, verify and such.
I was banned for griefing, although it was entirely unintentional.
I have only been on this server for 5-10 minutes, just got done reading the info signs posted in the building where the red lines stops. I jumped into a teleporter which was made to sound like it took me to an open plot of land. After reaching there, I realize it was a desert biom, and saw a chest. After opening it and seeing it, the survivalist in me decided to take it. There were no visible structures near by and I figured it was a simple temporary chest seeing how it was a single block chest. But boom, banned for griefing.
I understand where that ban come from and understand I should've thought about it, but honestly it's been a while since I've played on a multiplayer server and it just did not occur. Also didn't understand how the whole griefing thing worked on public land.
I hope you can understand my error for it was unintentional.
Thanks,

It's best to check with staff if you want to remove anything that has been played by a player.

Due to the current circumstances, removing chests placed by another player results in an automatic ban.

So even though I had been in the server about 3 minutes and simply made an automatic ban mistake I'm permanently banned? I had some friends on this server and really wanted to join them in making some sweet stuff. I understand what I did was an automatic ban, but with the circumstance (nothing else in sight and no items in the 1 block chest) I don't qualify for an appeal? I like the instant ban because it will secure my stuff to some degree as well, but to have zero tolerance is kinda harsh. Honestly I'm shocked I'm the first person to do this, there were no rules showing things like that and I REALLY disagree that I was griefing and honestly if someone said anything about it I would've felt bad, but I'm 100% positive it was a temporary chest that became abandoned. Next time i'll be more cautious but it's been three days and I've had no clear response.
If there's a way I can be appealed great I can't wait to get on my buddy's private land and build away; but please if you plan to keep me banned, let me know.
Thanks for you time,

This is the appeal. Keep 'bumping' your thread once and once only per day, and staff will eventually get to it.

In a matter of speech, you are perma-banned, until your appeal is addressed. Here, we refer to 'perma-banned' as banned forever, after appeals have been rejected. You are not perma-banned, just banned, and staff will let you know what the outcome will be of you appeal (this is your appeal).

Sorry for any inconvenience I have been busy, but it looks as if your story checks out so you are unbanned. However I will state even if it is 1 block it technically is still griefing hence "Do not disturb other player's belongings." Regardless if it was empty or not you didn't own it, but now you know.
