Have you changed your Minecraft username since being banned? If so, what is your previous name:

No, I have not changed my username.​

Which of ECC's services are you banned on:

Main server
(mc.ecocitycraft.com)​

Reason of Ban:

Major Griefing in the town of Laptown.​

Rule Violated:

Grief is defined as breaking or destroying things that do not belong to you, including breaking and replacing things to get to places that otherwise you shouldn't be going (for example, breaking into someone's house.) This can also extend to building things in areas that do not belong to you.
Grief is not allowed in protected towns, unless the town owner has decided otherwise. In the event a grief occurs in a non-grief town then a grief report can be filed here: Grief Report and Rollback Request
If a town allows grief then all residents must be informed before joining the town.
When a grief report is filed, grief is graded on a sliding scale of minor/moderate/major based on the amount and severity of damage done, and is determined based on staff guidelines by the staff member investigating the situation. It is also determined at that time whether the grief is bad enough to warrant a rollback.
Grief in the wild is frowned upon, but allowed. Staff will not take any action in the case of wild grief.​

Please explain in your own words what the rule(s) means:

You cannot steal/destroy blocks/structures that are not owned by you.​

Reason you feel you think you should be un-banned:

This was a long time ago and I was younger and dumber. I'm not going to do this again nor anything else illegal. I was also unfamiliar with the rules when I did this. It was an unprotected town where I griefed in and I thought it was legal in all unprotected towns, but I went over the law and now I know that is always illegal.​
