Hey! I'm the Administrator that banned you. First off, I genuinely thank you for the kind words about our server!

The rules state:

Any form of cheating will not be tolerated - This means anything that gives you an unfair advantage over players who are playing the game the way the game was intended to be played.

This includes mining on your own.

Unfortunately, CraftyMynes does not unban players who have hacked. I truly wish you the best of luck elsewhere!

The player has been dealt with. Thank you for your report! =D

I actually surprised myself and somehow got it without looking it up XD

Accidentally posted the hat solution in the other but took it down once I saw that I was silly XD

Richard got confused ^^

I can't tell you how happy reading this made me! I am so glad that we were able to help in any way. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with you on the server and I look forward to continuing! =D

NICE I LOVE IT!!! =D

Id totally buy one of these amazingly awesome things!

Hi! While I was not online for this event, I think I have a grasp over what went down.

Practice good chat etiquette - Don’t use caps, don’t spam, don’t discuss controversial, sensitive or offensive topics (e.g. sex, sexual identity or preferences, race, politics, religion, drugs, etc.), no advertising, no links, no trolling. Please only use the minecraft font and English in global chat. Also part of chat etiquette is having an appropriately named character since your name appears on the player list and in chat. If your name is inappropriate you will be asked to change it. You will likely be banned until you do.
The logs are as follows:

[15:18:12] <Timothybot> TRUMP
[15:18:16] <Quartz_King> ayyy
[15:18:18] <Timothybot> u raided me

[15:19:03] <SaltyFlubberFish> Timothybot Don't say that
[15:19:04] Kicked Janisdg from the game: 'Reason: chat violations'

Moderating chat can be a tricky thing. The only thing that really works when an topic that is against the rules gets started is drawing a line in the sand and kicking anybody that says something afterwards. While I agree that you are a good player and I don't believe that you intended to go against what Venetorum said, you were the one that continued after he had said to stop.

None of our staff members are power-hungry or enjoy kicking people (it actually tends to be very unpleasant), but it is what we agreed to do when we became staff members to help keep the server running in a manner that is beneficial to all of us!

PS: Get to know Venetorum. He is actually very kind! =D
