    Which server were you banned on? KitPvP

    Why were you banned from this server? This is the stated reason:

    "suspected hacker, ignoring when asked to show .minecraft folders"

    Those reasons are wrong.

    Why do you think you deserve another chance on the server? This is ChickenPox7's dad.

    ChickenPox7 does not only deserve another chance. He should never have been banned in the first place.

    I've reviewed the chat log. It shows ChickenPox7 was trying to comply with the request, but was confused about what was to be done. The ban was needlessly hasty. The ban-kick occurred when we were in the middle of typing a reply.

    So:

    1) He was not hacking.

    2) The delay in response was due to his dad (me) reviewing the log to try and verify the request for filesystem information was coming from a mod/admin and not some malicious player.

    3) The log indicates ChickenPox7 was seeking information on how to comply with the request.

    4) There was no evidence that ChickenPox7 was hacking (because he wasn't, I know) and labelling him with a ban as a "suspected hacker" is simply not right.


    In fact, a close read of the log shows that another user was also suspected of hacking.

    Which server were you banned on? KitPvP

    Why were you banned from this server? This is the reason:
    suspected hacker, ignoring when asked to show .minecraft folders- at least they thought that, I really did not ignore.

    Why do you think you deserve another chance on the server? I follow the rules and I didn't hack- I even removed the problematic mods and they were 1.6.4 anyway.
    Here are the new screenshot links I was supposed to give to an admin:

    .minecraft- http://i.imgur.com/rQcNb1S.png

    My dad provided the original ones in his appeal.
