It says I was banned and I have absolutely no idea why. Can someone please explain this to me?

server banned u for using xray @.@, along with many other people

Why would it say I used an x-ray? For one, I don't even know how to install a mod if I wanted to, and for the second I haven't mined a diamond in a really long time.

Furthermore, I remember when everyone else was banned and they said the programming said that people were able to mine 20 diamonds in 20 minutes or something. I have NEVER gotten that many diamonds in even an hour!

Apparently there are things other than rate of diamond mining that the script uses to identify x-rayers. The admins don't like to go into detail about those other aspects of the program (lest people use that information to find a way around the script), but it's possible there was some reason other than diamond mining that you were auto-banned.

EDIT: Also, probably not a good idea to double-post, particularly in a ban appeal. You can edit your posts by clicking the edit button next to them in a thread.

Sorry about the double posting, but I just don't understand. I always try to be a good player and just keep to myself. The only thing I can think of is that one of my properties currently has over 20 raw diamond ore exposed in it.

But I spent close to a week hollowing out the underground area from level 33 to 12. It was like 55,000 blocks! I haven't harvested the diamonds because I thought it would be cool to use pistons to move them around so I could use them in decorative pieces.

If that's the reason, I implore an Admin to check out my plot, its around 4872 by 2693. Its all underground and hollowed out. I was planning on this huge underground city. Seriously, I was around when everyone got banned the first time and I couldn't understand why they would cheat on this game. It takes the fun out of it. I wouldn't cheat.


(Added momentarily later)
I just read that they updated the "x-ray" catcher to ban those who use it for gold. When I was hollowing out a 50x50 realm level by level (that's 2500 blocks) after each level I would go dig up all of the iron and gold ores I revealed after that pass (since you can actually place the iron and gold ores). Did one of my luckier passes exceed the limit? I just want to play again, but I swear I did not x-ray.

Here is the newest update from Intelli.

As of September 19, 2011, we are now also scanning for players who x-ray hacked gold.

You might wanna edit those coords out of the post, someone could go clean up if they wanted to unless it's protected in that case nvm.

Thanks, but its on a purchased realm. I edited a post above when I saw they updated for gold x-raying.

Unbanned.
