If you receive this ban message and your minecraft username is ExampleIGN:


 
...then this is an appropriate ban appeal (do not include screenshot in actual appeal):




Username: ExampleIGN
Ban Date: 04.09.2021
Ban Message: Stealing from other faction members
Ban ID: 116
Apology: I'm very sorry that I took items from my faction mates. I saw an unlocked chest and stole from my other players in a moment of weakness. This will not happen again. I will wait for you to respond and I won't send you forum messages about this ban appeal. I won't try to log into the server while this ban is still open (evade my ban). If you do not see this today, I will only bump one time every 24 hours.

If you are reading this, there is a high chance that you are banned or you are just checking out the ban appeals section. If you are banned, you must carefully read this thread before posting your appeal or it will be denied without consideration.




When you are banned, you have a chance to appeal—unless your ban messages instructs you otherwise. If you follow the correct format and do not break procedure, as outlined below, the staff member who banned you will accept or reject your appeal.





If you are not banned and were not involved in another player's ban, do not post in this forum or reply to ban appeals. Do not panic if you were banned by console and legitimately did not cheat. False positives happen and we will uncover the truth.






Rules:

1. Only the staff member that banned you can process you appeal. Do not attempt to appeal to other staff, only the staff member who banned you may unban you. If you appeal to other staff members, your appeal will be denied.
   
2. Do not attempt to evade a ban. Use of a VPN or alternate accounts will eliminate any possibility of an approved ban appeal.
   
3. Don't try to bribe us. If you've purchased a rank or plan to purchase a rank, this does not give you any immunity to the rules or advantage in ban appeals. Rules are rules.
   
4. This forum is the only way you can appeal your ban. Do not message staff for status updates or appeals. Do not ask a friend to get involved on your behalf—they'll just get a warning for breaking the rules.
   
5. You must follow the format below to have your appeal considered.

1: Basics

• Do not grief builds or steal items. No killing animals in another factions land. Do not join a faction and take items without permission.
  
• You may loot unclaimed bases. If you find a locked chest, request a lockette removal: https://ainbow.org/lockette.html
  
• Don’t scam people or give new players horrible deals. Don't take advantage of pricing errors.
  
• Avoid butterfly clicking or you may be flagged by our anticheat.
  
• You must join discord to play: https://ainbow.org/discord.html
  
• Don't build 1x1 towers in the sky.
  
• Never abuse giveaways events or game play mechanics, such as our playtime rewards.
  

• No game altering mods are permitted.
  
• Resource packs and shaders are permitted.
  
• No cheats, hacks, or exploits of any kind are permitted. This includes any modifications that allow you to automatically rejoin after an AFK kick and any resource pack designed to give you an advantage in the game.
  
• If you intend to use forge or fabric mods, you must ensure that your mod is allowed: https://ainbow.org/modding.html
  

• Redstone clocks are permitted, but you do not leave them running when you leave the server.
  
• Semi-automatic farms only; full-auto farms are not permitted. This means that you can setup a farm to severely damage mobs, but you strike the final blow.
  
• AFK farms are strictly forbidden.
  
• No hopper tubes are permitted. Do not have a hopper feed directly into another hopper. You may use up to two hoppers with a chest in between
  
• Water flushing dark room XP farms that use dispensers or piston-blocked water tiles are not permitted.
  
• Pigman Farms cannot have more than eight portals.
  
• Factions cannot have more than 16 of each animal.
  

• To protect your items, use lockettes. Even if you lose access to the land, you can request a staff member assist you in retrieving your items. Make a lockette by placing a sign on your container or door; your username should automatically fill.
  
• You have 7 days to request assistance if you have left your faction, and 14 days if you were kicked from the faction or banned from the server. If you do not get your items moved within the time frame, your items can be rightly claimed by the faction with a staff member's assistance.
  
• If you remain inactive for 31 days and your faction is disbanded, anyone can claim your items with a lockette removal request.
  
• Request lockette removals and read the full policies here: [b]https://ainbow.org/lockette.html[/b]
  

• Staff will not enforce faction specific rules. You may not create faction rules that conflict with game rules.
  
• Faction land belongs to the faction. Players cannot "own" land. Players who buy or are gifted land from other players are receiving it for their faction. This land is managed at the sole discretion of the faction's current leader and faction policies.
  
• Factions will be disbanded after a month of inactivity.
  
• If your faction leader is banned, you can request a kick of the banned faction leader 14 days after the ban.
  
• Factions that have fallen beneath their allotted claims may have their land unclaimed by an admin at any time by the admin's discretion.
  

Rules for Lockette Removal Requests

• Banned players: Once a player is banned, we allow them 14 days before we will remove their lockettes. This allows them a reasonable amount of time to make an appeal. Once the 14 days are up we will remove their lockettes at the request of the faction leader/officers. If the 14 days are up but the player has an open or successful appeal, lockettes will not be removed till the appeal is closed. Check the status of a player with /seen <player> ***NOTE: We WILL NOT remove lockettes of players banned for Xraying, glitching/duplicating items, or any other similar form of cheating***
  

• Kicked from a faction: If a player is kicked from a faction, we allow them 14 days to get their belongings moved. This is to prevent factions from recruiting and kicking members just to get their items. A player has several means of moving their items, they can request help from staff in game, in discord (do not tag idle staff members), or here in this thread. You must follow the format listed below in red. Any lockettes that remain after the 14 days will be removed at the request of the faction leader/officers.
  

• Leaving a faction: If a player voluntarily leaves their faction, they have 7 days to move their things out of that faction. Any lockettes that remain after 7 days will be removed at the request of the faction leader/officers.
  

• Inactive players: Lockettes from inactive players will continue to be automatically removed after 31 days of inactivity. The lockettes that do not automatically expire after 31 days can be requested to be removed. Remember to always do /seen <player> to determine how long a player has been inactive before you ask staff to remove a lockette.
  

• Lockettes in wilderness: Lockettes in wilderness do not have their own rules, they will follow the above guidelines. 
  

• In-game name:
  
• Reason for request: (choose: Inactive player, player left faction, player was kicked from faction, or banned player)
  
• Name on the lockettes to be removed:
  
• Faction name:
