To start with, this is not an unban appeal, as my ban is apparently temporary. At least it is not intended as such. This is a clarification of what happened.
Bluntly, I (Sean Roscoe) was responsible for the southern wilds being "destroyed." It was an honest mistake, and here is why.
Several things are responsible for this current situation.
On a side note I feel that insulting people when banning them is rather unprofessional. I do not like being called an idiot, or being told I have no common sense. The ban should be punishment enough, and all it should say are the reasons for the ban.

Several things are responsible for this current situation.
- Misinformation. I was told that the Southern Wilds was a resource only world, and that it was reset every week or so. Most of the time the appearance of such a world is not important. In fact they are meant to be ravaged so that the real one does not.
- A plugin failure. The plugin that was supposed to put up protections around the spawn was down I guess. I didn't know that. Many people didn't. The factor that I was allowed to harvest materials at the spawn made me think it was OK.
- Lack of any signage to the contrary. It is SOP on most servers to have signs in place to tell people that they should not harvest supplies in certain areas, in the event of a protection plugin failure. There were no such signs.
- The design of the spawn itself. The location of the spawn (in the middle of a jungle lake) does not exactly scream "I care about the surrounding terrain." Sorry, but natural jungle is usually regarded as more of a nuisance than a bonus. It is hard to transverse, is a hassle to build on, and takes forever to clear. It is, in my opinion, quite ugly as well. If the mods/admins wanted to imply that the look of the spawn was important, there should be some ruins or a bridge. Any kind of architecture at all really. Besides the portal frame of course.
