Let me tell you a story of a player, Dragon0899. He isn't a hugely active player, but seems to play once or twice a week. He has been working in and around one area for a substantial length of time (read: more than a month). One day, he logs on to discover his neighbor purchased the plot he was living in. However, he decides that he will just move elsewhere, so he transfer all his stuff 300 blocks away, and starts a new home. A little bit later, he logs on, and discovers that his rail between his old home and his new place is missing. He summons me, and I start going along the 300-400 block long rail, seeing who removed the entirety of it. When we reach his new home, it appears to have been bought by the same person as the one who bought his old home. In fact, it had been purchased about 5 hours before Dragon logged on. Additionally, the person who bought it was the same person who pulled up the several hundred blocks of rail, and they even looted all of the chests in the realm they purchased.

After doing some research, I determine that the new owner of the realm did not speak to staff about purchasing the plots that clearly had a player living in them, he did not submit a plot purchase request through the convenient form we have, but he did speak to a different player who told him "but this is a land that has been build on then allready, so that makes in illigal to buy then right?". This friendly warning was ignored by the person who purchased that land.

Any guesses as to who the person who appears to have purchased both of Dragon's homes, griefed his rails, and looted his chests was?

Even using this as your excuse doesn't add up to any of the story. So ok, you though the first realm was abandoned... I can possibly buy this even though the player was semi-active. Then a magical rail appears from the old realm to the secondary one, to move the items to his secondary realm. So you "thought" the rails were in your realm yet they didn't even go in your realm and then took every single one that was placed back to his second realm. Then you bought the realm and completely looted it.

... Honestly how can you sit there and say it was abandoned? The rail and the second area would suggest that someone is indeed living there and right off the bat "No Griefing and No Looting" should already be in your mindset. Especially for someone who has been banned for griefing before.

I understand if you don't know about the new system we put in place regarding filling out apps to purchase pre-owned/disbanded realms. But that is still no excuse to do everything you did. Irregardless of buying the realms you looted and griefed both of which I would expect someone to understand is against the rules especially after they have been a member here for so long.

Note: Don't bump your appeal more than once a day.

Your ban length is determined on a bunch of variables. Some of which are how serious the ban reason was, how many times you've been banned, and how well you appeal.

At the moment, you haven't made a full appeal at all. You've literally just argued false points and requested when you'll be unbanned.

Actually, it's not. You could read the forum rules + the Ban Appeal/Request help guides and then you'll see the basic standards of an appeal.
You could also put a little more effort into being unbanned, even with simple things such as Primary School grammar and punctuation. You cannot sit back and type 3 second sentences and expect staff to just unban you.
Read up on the rules and convince the community that the event will not reoccur.

Meanwhile, you will have to wait. It could take up to several weeks.
