I'm confused

Hi! I was in the middle of buying a plot and was kicked/banned from the server for xray hacking. I am appealing this ban because I wasn't hacking and am confused as to what exactly I did wrong. I run no addons, hacks, cheats or background programs whatsoever while playing minecraft and have tried to be as polite as possible at all times. Anyways, I would really like to not lose all of my work on your server as I enjoy it very much. Thanks

Mike has 24 hours to show us the goods or you'll be unbanned.

Okay, thanks for the update!

Alright, you will be glad to hear that you check out, and that this appeal will be accepted, but, just to show that this wasn't a ban that was without thought, I'll share some screen shots and explain my thought process on this whole ordeal.

The first clue I saw that made me suspicious was when I LB'd your chests and found an immense amount of diamonds/diamond picks being taken and or deposited within your chests.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

My first reaction after that was to search for concrete evidence (when on further investigation, was lacking). I only found a couple of good instances of you mining ores that were not visible before I moved onto the next step/thought process.

Spoiler:

Continuing on, it occurred to me that it would be beneficial to see if you had bought any diamonds at a shop, which would explain all of the ores. But, upon inquiring you about how long you've been on Orcworm, and when you said yes, this was your first time, I looked up your /money, to see that you had 629 gil

Spoiler:

. Knowing that the cheapest diamonds were selling at 35 gil a piece, and that Guests start out with 500 gil, that was the last straw for me. Except, about 5 minutes later, I realized that I gave no thought to other ways he could have received those diamonds. Ex. PvP, a friend, buying and re-selling ect. So, that was my mistake. There's my Staff noob mistake for you all

But, more importantly, you're unbanned once I get to it. And, I've learned a very valuable lesson...

Forgiven Thanks for the unban and explanation.
