@_Confederacy_ They already tried this. They didn't always ban hackers permanently, but 99% of them when givin a second chance hacked again. Therefore this is not very practical.

That is why only the appeals that are deemed as being the most sincere should be accepted

It might also be a good idea to give watchlist players a gray name for the time they are being evaluated. This would make them easily recognizable.

@Jordi223b If you really want to play again, buy an alt

Not everyone can afford to buy multiple accounts even if they wanted to, so it is not fair to those people

It is unfair to those few players that are truly sorry for their actions

If they have a watchlist record and they hack or cheat again they would be permanently banned

I would like to begin this post by acknowledging that this policy would indeed give staff more work, but I believe that it would do more good than harm in the long run and that it should at least be given a shot.

CraftyMynes has a very strict anti hacker/cheater policy, and for good reason too. Were it not for this policy, the server would be in chaos. If someone cheats or hacks they are banned without being given a second chance. Most players that get banned due to this ask for forgiveness without really being sorry for their actions. If these players were to be unbanned they would just continue hacking or cheating and get themselves banned again. However, there are also those players who are truly sorry for their actions and just wish to be given a second chance so that they may prove that they have changed. These players are also denied no matter how sincere their apologies may be.

Here is my idea.

I propose to enact a two strike banning policy in the server. If someone gets caught hacking or cheating once, they are banned and are given a second chance only if they appeal and their appeal is deemed sincere by staff. If the appeal passes the staff's judgement, the player gets unbanned and is put on a sort of watchlist. If they prove that they do not hack or cheat any more for a certain period of time, they are then treated as normal players again. If this previously banned player were to hack or cheat again, they would then be permanently banned and all their future appeals would be denied.

Strike one, you get a second chance
Strike two, you're out

Lol are these magma blocks made by Apple?

On it's own it is just the Haxington logo, but when you add the word "Tech" to it, it stands for HaxTech (HaxTech is a fictional company owned by a fictional corporation called Haxington Industries. I had to make this for my web design class: haxtechsite.wordpress.com )

The logo can stand on it's own
