[Ban Appeal]

My IGN is Arithon. I am currently banned on the main server, and possibly the lobby server. I am not sure what the lobby server is however, so I can not be sure whether not I am banned on it. I was banned for PvP hacking in SG. I broke the rule(Clause 1) that states:
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.

I think this means that the usage of a modified client on the server is entirely illegal. Despite the fact that said usage is expressly forbidden, I installed and used modified client "Huzuni" for a few days prior to my ban.

Its been quite awhile since I was banned from EcoCityCraft. It's given me a lot of time to think about what happened, and how wrong my actions were. When I used a hacked client, I was thinking only of myself and the short-term gain I would receive. Now, I realize that not only did I break server rules, I harmed other players. By giving myself an unfair advantage, I hurt their experience on ECC. I would never want to do something like that to another player, especially since I had so much fun on the server before I left.

Now that I have realized the error in my judgment that caused me to use an illegal client, I am rather ashamed of myself. Also, the time away from ECC, jumping around from one server to the next... it has not been fun. I almost considered quitting Minecraft permanently; or at least until I could find a server that suited me as well as this one. Instead, I have decided to try to return to ECC, and perhaps to make up for my poor choice of actions, if it is possible to do so. I would sincerely appreciate it-heck, it'd make my day, week, maybe even month, if I was allowed a second chance on the server. With the amount that I regret cheating, and the amount I want to rejoin the server, I can say very surely that I have no intention of breaking any rules the server has ever again.

Thank you for your consideration.
