Hi guys its ridg10

I was out walking when I fell into a hole! When I tried to get out I came to a piece of cobblestone and broke it. when it broke It didnt leve anything and when I looked up I saw a diamond block and realised I was in a house my heart sank and I knew I was going to be banned    I didnt mind having to wait a week but now I cant become trusted  I think I might leave the server because I loved helping people and I wanted to become trusted and someday become a mod.

That is probably a griefer trap

It was definitely a grief trap if;

A)  You were banned Immediately.

Usually if your online and you griefed something a Mod will give you the chance to explain yourself before simply banning you.  That said, my question is why didn't you dig down and off to the side when you saw you were digging up into something?  Automatic Grief Farms don't ban you after breaking one or two blocks.  They give you a chance to go "oh crap" and stop what you're doing.  You actually have to break quite a bit before it bans you.

Automated grief bans are 7 days and due to the facts I just stated they can't be lifted, so if that's the case you'll have to wait.

I can't get in-game right now to be sure it was an auto-ban, so please wait for another mod to post the details.

Ah I know this trap just saw it today. It is made out of mossy stone bricks gold and iron ore. You also have some diamond blocks scattered around, and signs with SUPER bad English grammar and spelling that says: pls dun gref, u band. ( these signs are most usually at grief traps.

Thus why if someone griefs them and gets banned they don't get unbanned until they have served their sentence.  There is more than adequate warning to a player that they're going to get banned.

Besides, grief traps have been around long enough (including all the conversations on this forum) that all players should know they exist and leave other's stuff alone just in case it's a trap.

Your ban will expire on may 13th, at 8:40AM (Central standard time)

You must have griefed 5 blocks to trigger the grief trap.

I'm locking the thread.
