Ban for Hacks, snackcollin

Hi, collin. It's true that you weren't mining diamonds today. In fact, you haven't mined any diamonds at all recently. But you have mined quite a lot of other ores, including today while I watched you. And your mines have the hallmark classic pattern of xray. You didn't stop xraying, you simply stopped mining diamonds.

But that's not what drew my attention to you today. You were flagged by our anti-cheat software for moving suspiciously (flying). I came to see what was up, and sure enough you seemed to fly briefly while I watched. Then you stood on water for a while, then walked on water for a while. As a defense, you mentioned in Discord that you were standing on the gold claim-marker blocks that show when you check your claim. It's true that you can stand on those. But I've seen them be visible to everyone while helping players learn how to adjust their claims, and no claim blocks were lit up while I watched you walking on water. But... I'll give on that point. But even if that weren't the case, those blocks would only allow you to stand in that spot -- not walk a fair distance.

Then you turned your attention to mining. And sure enough, while I watched, you magically mined directly to various ore deposits -- iron, redstone, lapis, even coal... but curiously ignoring the diamond veins near you. (At least, it seemed curious at the time... in retrospect it makes sense. See first paragraph.) You mines went directly to these veins. At one point it looked like you started strip mining, which I'll admit confused me. But then you just stopped here and there along the way to dig to the side, or even stair-step down, to the ores which you could clearly see through the intervening stone.

Even just for the xray, this would be your second strike and out. For the Jesus hacked client also? No. You didn't learn from your first experience, and need to find another server. Maybe in a LONG while (like, over a year), you could revisit this appeal and ask for another chance.

In all sincerity: Cheers, and good luck.

Hi, collin. I have discussed the matter at length with other staff. I stand by what I observed, but I'll give you one more chance. Your ban is lifted. See you ingame.
