What were you doing last on the server: Transporting A Villager

It started with me finding a way to put mods on the Modpack on the DMU Public Server without having to uninstall it. It began with optifine and worked it's way to Minimap Mod (I couldn't use waypoints because I didn't have Server Permissions) But then I installed something that I should have never installed: XRay Mod. The fact that I could see Ores and Caves was bad enough, but I found out that it allowed me to FLY.

At the time, I was at a Village and my Home was miles away, and I knew that I would never be able to get them there, so I thought "Ok, this is bad, and as soon as I quit the Server: I'll uninstall it and never re - install it again." I decided to use this only chance to scan around my house and see if I could find a not - very - far - away - village. I flew and found one and used the nether to transport them.

Only thing was, right in the middle of making sure the first Villager was getting to the other portal without dying (As we all know that villagers can be a Pain sometimes), An Admin was going round to players, making sure everything was fine (Like they are supposed to) and saw me. I have no idea how long he was watching me for, but I immediately Panicked and pressed the fly button (Which was set to `) and landed.

I know I should have Apologized, that I was doing something Bad, but in my Panic, I lied to the Admin, that I was not doing anything at all. But the Admin smelled a Rat and had screenshots of the incident. I tried to deny what he saw, that he was Lagging or that I was Lagging, but he must've been watching me for a minute or two, and made the decision to Permanently Ban me.

I want to apologise about the whole thing, to the SWDTeam as they find Hackers annoying, and to the Admin who caught and Rightfully Banned me as it was, as you may say, what I deserved. I apologise to him for Lying and accusing him of connection problems, I still don't know which Admin Banned me, but I think it was the one who has over 50% of the votes to become Head - Admin which I guess he deserves. I am disappointed in myself for doing all of this, and for being a cheater. My hope is to be forgiven by the SWDTeam and the Admin and go back on the server and I Promise, I will never bypass the Rules again, I beg for a response from them, and to be unbanned.

Edit: If it helps, I think the Admin was Ished.

It's your fault for downloading the x-ray/fly mod in the first place.

You are staying banned unless a higher member of staff decides to pardon you.

I know, as I said, I should never have installed the mod. I should have realised the consequences. But I didn't. And now I know the mods I can and can't install. It was all my fault. I'm also sorry I decided in my panic to lie to you. I am never doing any of that again, or at least, I will think twice about if it's cheating the next time I wonder if there is an XRay Mod. My Apologies. I have been taught a lesson.

Edit: I might as well put the link where I got it from: http://www.minecraftxl.com/xray-mod/

I know, I promised to myself I would uninstall it when I logg off, like a 1 day thing, I just wanted to get villagers to my home. If only I knew...

But trust me, if I get unbanned, that will be the end of it. It was foolish and I made mistakes. But now I'm ready to follow the rules once again. I'm no hacker, I'm someone who made a mistake but learned.

Wait... Quick question: Does my Ban apply to DMU Creative and DMU Public? Just wondering as knowing my luck it probably will.

Bans are server wide yes.

Also, saying "I know I shouldn't have" means nothing.

If you know you shouldn't then don't.

OK then, every time I say that it actually means "I'm Deeply Sorry". Better?

Look, I just want to get back online and life is about making mistakes and learning from them. Like Albert Einstein said "A Person Who Never Made A Mistake Never Tried Anything New." I'm sorry if that's off - topic but I made a mistake and I really regret installing the mod. Plus, tell me if anyone was harmed by what I did.

You need to understand that saying sorry isn't always going to cut it.

This should teach you to learn from your mistakes.

I've learned.

When you join the server you agree to the rules, using x-ray mods and similar things is very much against them. It is good that you are aware of your mistakes but not all of them can be forgiven with a simple "I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Learn not to do it in the first place.

Leave your ban appeals to 1 message only as well, edit previous replies if needed but don't keep adding new ones saying you're sorry.

Going to have to leave you permed.
