So. Around a week or so ago, I was false banned for "Spamming fireworks" Which was false to begin with as I launched two non lag fireworks over a build for fun. Pharma smited me which was reasonable. I went far from anyone's build and continued to experiment with the firework trails Pharma was actively observing me and said something along the lines of "Still experimenting with the fireworks?" And they banned me for one hour. I combated this ban on the forums with several vouches from users and a in game demonstration. The second incident of an unjustified ban happened today. Someone supposedly "stole" an item and destroyed it. Other users have looked at the rules and said no such rule has ever existed. I did so too, looking at /rules in game. Another user stated that we wouldn't have the item archives we have now if "stealing" items was a rule. I went to a user's plot which should remain anonymous and they had an entire stash of stolen items. Hundreds if not thousands of dupes. I tried calling the admins out on their trigger-happy banhammer and Ashaz muted me. Once I was unmuted. I tried being as respectful as possible in calling them out for a mute once more. They responded by giving me a one-hour ban. I had multiple vouches from other players saying that stealing was never against the rules. Admins claimed that it has been a rule for over a year. I have never seen anyone get banned for this "rule" in the past. Pharma, Ash, You can do better.
I saw with my own eyes, you teleport to Justin, Windows and I and then spam fireworks. The reason it was only 4 is because I smited you before you could do more. I then asked you to stop using those fireworks entirely as they were causing lag and could be considered entity spamming. I could still hear the fireworks, so you were relatively close to my location. I decided that a 1 hour ban should suffice with that behavior.
Pharma, I teleported to you because I saw your name in the chat. I had no ill intent of any kind with said fireworks. You warned me and I moved away.
As far as I know, I obeyed what they said, but they banned me anyway despite being 100+ blocks away from their build. Pharma couldn't even hear the fireworks going off at that range unless he was constantly spectating me.
1. Your Minecraft name: BlackfishOrca
2. The date and time you were banned. 12/29/22 9:10PM
3. What type of activity you were doing at the time of the ban "Firework spamming"
4. Why do you think you were banned: D "Entity spamming"
5. Which admin banned you, and what were you told (if anything) before the ban occurred: Pharma, he warned me once and I moved to a farther location to experiment with firework builds.
6. Have you reviewed and agree to the community guidelines?: I already have.
What you should do is spend time as an OP and not try and immediately reinstate, especially considering your past. I'm all for forgiveness, but it has to be earned first.
i’d argue the same. while it was a year ago you need to show to us youve changed instead of just telling us. therefore if an app is posted soon i will be objecting.
good luck
You said soon. I would be posting one in a month as per another admin's request.
Hey! So, It's been three years since I was banned from the TF admin team and the server as a whole due to homophobic/transphobic remarks. Some of you have witnessed it and a majority of you have not. I wanted to apologize for this and I have given enough time for myself to learn and grow from these past incidents. If I'm accepted, I hope you will accept me as an admin of TF once more and we'll be good friends, players, and builders. There are many newcomers I haven't met yet and I look forward to doing so!

@redeastwood#16181 That was that one time, and that was very shocking to me and I apologize for that. That doesn't mean everyone has to change their votes.
I re-added the question
@redeastwood#15966 Actually, I deleted it by accident. I'll re-add it if you wish.
