To further assist your appeal, if you could locate the rule you broke in our Wiki, then copy/paste it here, please?

 

In full, the rules regarding hacked clients is the following:

Section 6 - Hacking, Exploits and Unfair Play
Clause 1 - Hacking and Hacked Clients

• Fly, speed, air build, teleport hacking, or any other types of hacks, are not tolerated. This includes x-ray hacking and x-ray texture packs. Using any unfair means (including glitches, bugs, and exploits) to get into server buildings is also not allowed and is unfair to other users.
• Using any clients, specifically hacked clients, which may allow you to gain unfair advantages as deemed by ECC staff is strictly prohibited.
• Users caught using any client deemed to be a "hacked client", as defined by and at the discretion of the staff, will be banned. There is no excuse for using a hacked client on EcoCityCraft whatsoever.
• Discussion of hacked clients is not allowed - we do not allow them, and therefore we do not discuss them.

Clause 4 - Third Party Programs, Auto-Clicking, Auto-Farming, etc.

• The use of third party programs that create any form of advantage that does not require you to do work while playing Minecraft is strictly prohibited, and can result in a ban.
• EcoCityCraft staff have measures in place to test for users auto-clicking and using third party programs. Users caught auto-clicking, auto-fishing, using an aimbot, or any other distinct advantage to exploit game play will be punished appropriately.
• Any form of auto money generation, including, but not limited to, auto-farming and auto-fishing, is completely prohibited by any means.
• If you are caught using macros or clients to generate money without having to do any work, you will be punished, up to and including the extent of being permanently banned and having everything you own wiped off the server.
• Be warned that we take this very seriously.

While we wait for an appropriate member of staff to review your appeal, please familiarize yourself on the rules regarding this situation, and perhaps re-read all of them to ensure other issues don't happen in the future.

 

Hacking is a serious offence and this line doesn't fill me with confidence that you won't use a hacked client again. You seem to be placing the emphasis on being caught using one rather than actually not using one full stop. Overall this appeal isn't sufficient to convince me to unban you.
