Was your Ban mentioned on the forums?: Not from that I could search for. Though I only searched my name.
What did you do, why did you do it, what makes you trustworthy enough to even consider letting you come back?: I was using an auto-join mod a friend downloaded, and installed for me. I did it cause I was waiting for my sugar cane crops to grow, after I couldn't find books, or bookcases, around the stores in Kanto or the wild spawns. It seemed that if I logged off, and came back on an hour later my crops wouldn't grow, but if I stood close to them they would grow. Even when people were on the server the entire time I was offline. I really had nothing else on the server to do, I guess the other thing would be fight, but I had 27 levels I didn't want to just die and waste before trying to get an infinity 1 enchant, or flame 1 enchant for my bow (I wanted to collect the enchantments on books, but I was using the books to make the bookcases, then was going to use up my levels on books when the enchantment area was done). I'm really sorry for doing it, I didn't know that an auto-log mod wasn't allowed, well at least what I can remember from the rules. I didn't even know it was "boting", all the mod did was give me an auto-join option below the "back to title screen". I don't even know the site he got it from (I have Firefox, and my settings are set to clear my history, cookies, passwords, etc, etc when the window closes). Really I won't use the "bot" anymore. I'll just run circles around my enchantment table, and try talking to people till my crops finish growing like I was doing before my friend installed the mod.
Choose your punishment: Um forcing me to pay $10 is a bit unfair when 1. I wasn't even a part of the server long enough to do anything that you even deserve my money. 2. I don't even remember seeing a rule saying "No Auto-Join Mods". So I didn't even know what I was doing was wrong, but i'm going to do a force update to my Minecraft now to get rid of it, cause I don't know what my friend changed to put it there in the first place. All you have is my word, and I know I already have shown I mean well for this server. To me it's an awesome server, I made friends really fast, and everyone's happy. The best part is everyone is nice, cause when I walk around, and people see you in a PVP area, they don't instantly jump on you to kill you like other servers.
