You yourself chose to not play for a month, we're not going to let you off easy just because you chose to not play whilst your friend was banned. You're acting as if we are the ones responsible for that. 

As Jay said, no-one forced you to break the rules, however you have done so and therefore we have banned you for a month because of it, a length that you deem to be reasonable. Why should we alter our initial judgement to wrap around your convenience?

Can you not understand that i couldn't play with my friend for 1 month, now i cant for 2 months?

I chose not to play BECAUSE I COULDN'T PLAY WITH MY FRIEND. I DONT EVEN KNOW THE FUCKING POINT OF TRYING TO GET YOU MODERATORS TO UNDERSTAND. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF YOU JUST COULDN'T PLAY WITH YOUR FRIEND FOR ONE MONTH (because of an action you did with your friend) (this is punishment for me and my friend cause i cant play with him) AND THEN YOU GET BANNED FOR ANOTHER MONTH. WOULD BE SAD GOING "OH, I WANTED TO PLAY WITH MY FRIEND. I THOUGHT I COULD IN JULY." BUT NOPE, NOT HAPPENING.

I really don't get the point of trying to make a ban appeal at this point, BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS UNFAIR, NO APPEALS ARE ACCEPTED.

 1 month is a reasonable time for a first ban, but not being able to play survival Minecraft with your friend for 2 monthS I DO NOT DEEM REASONABLE.

I am deleting my swd account after your next response(s).

This isnt 1984, where big brother is always watching everyone.
Sleeper got caught before you, you were only caught later. Thats how it is.
In the end, since you keep firing at our Moderators, we could change the direction and just say its your own fault in every way for:
1st: Breaking the Rules
2nd: Not telling us that you also griefed alongside sleeper, therefore making the ban start at the same time as sleepers and not now.

So just accept the fact, either return in a month or dont return at all, we are not considering changing your ban time at the moment.

Ban Appeals are usually not accepted if the person that got banned INSTANTLY makes an appeal while we have solid evidence, those appeals are usually if one of our Staff Members did something wrong in the process and someone else catches it (hence Cyber not being allowed to appeal your ban) or someone that is banned for a long time decides to write an appeal after like 1-2 Months.

You can suck your whole "I CANT PLAY WITH MY FRIEND" away, you also cant say to the Judge if he wants to jail you for 5 years "BUT MY FRIEND!!".
You both broke the rules, one got catched earlier than the other and thats it.

Formless, I get you are annoyed about not being able to play with your friend, and if I were in that position I would be angry too, however the owner of that base you both griefed together imagine how they would feel after logging on in over 6 months after they've had stressful exams or who else knows what going on in their life and they see their 3+ months of work gone and they report it to us, and then we don't ban you because it is over a month old? How do you think they would feel? As staff our job is to make sure that everyone who plays this server can play it and have fun while doing so, however when people decide to ruin the fun by breaking the rules they agree to abide by when you click "Accept" on the DMU Terms of Service screen we have to remove them from the server, when I discovered yours and sleeper's grief I was considerate and did not ban you for longer and reban/extend sleepers ban because I am aware you are just trying to have fun with your friend but it goes both ways, that guys base you destroyed needs to know that he can feel safe and know that his hard work is safe while he isnt playing, and if you weren't punished for this how would he feel safe knowing that someone who destroyed so much work is walking around using his resources as his own and we aren't doing anything to help him, all we ask is that you understand that, I know from experience how annoying bans can be as I have been banned unfairly on DMU before, but we both know your ban is valid, I suggest you show some maturity and accept this ban, and in a month you can rejoin if you so wish.

 will talk to formless snake about that and see his opinion

also looking forward to 1.21 DMU

At this point I am willing to accept my ban. Is there anything I can do to make up for my actions?

 I'd rather mine 100 diamonds for them than be banned for 1 week.

I just feel that it's time for DMU to change. Always put yourself in other people's shoes well reading their appeals. I changed after I greifed and stole because I imagined being the people I stole from.

DMU does need to change, but this does not.

We accept appeals from those who we think deserve to be accepted, they are not a cheap way out of punishment.

For example, if the staff member wrongfully banned or failed to provide valid evidence.

We also accept the appeals of those who are genuinely apologetic for their actions,

provided it's been long enough since the ban, have no prior history of breaking the rules, etc

alongside various other circumstance-based things.

This is not a situation where we believe an appeal is acceptable.

You'll wait out your ban, that you rightfully received for breaking the rules.

We won't unban you or move to alternative punishment.

We will not cater our punishments to fit your needs.

 If DMU needs to change, take action.
