Jailed for opening a chest in spawn.

[Googlified]

I was jailed for opening up a chest in spawn. I thought that it was just like all the other chests that had the free stone tools in them that said that players could take them to use at their own free will. But as soon as I opened this chest that was literally 5 blocks away from all the free chests. I got jailed. I was it had diamonds in it, and I was going to ask the other players in chat whose these were, and if they knew that they were here at spawn. But I didn't even get to ask whose they were, and then I got jailed for doing nothing. I didn't even take them out of the chest. I just simply opened the chest. Personally that's just not right to keep that there right next to all the other free item chests at spawn. So please I am asking to get unjailed, and I will give these diamonds back because I don't want them. And now I am banned for "Stealing" and got banned on my alts for coming on the server and trying to play. When all I'm doing is waiting for my main account to get unjailed because I didn't do anything. And also if I get unjailed I won't do anything like this again - Thanks

I don't normally post on ban hammer posts, but I just have to point some stuff out XD First you write

I didn't even take them out of the chest. I just simply opened the chest.

then you say

So please I am asking to get unjailed, and I will give these diamonds back because I don't want them.

So you have obviously lied in your first statment if in your second statment you say that you'll return the diamonds. The house is clearly marked "Please do not steal my stuff!!!!", so I'm not buying that you were confused about whether or not it would be stealing if you took from that chest. Also, blaming the Guardians for putting a honey chest literaly 22 blocks ;P away from the free chest is not going to help you get unbanned. And my final issue with your post, sir, is that not once in the whole appeal did you apologize for stealing.

In-game he stated that he opened the chest, and the diamonds ended up in his inventory without him removing them and was then sent to jail. He claims to not have clicked on the diamonds at all. I cannot see how this would be possible, and have failed to reproduce this in any of my tests.

Your alternate accounts were banned as you cannot subvert your ban by simply using a different account. Typically, this is how griefers operate. Your third account, bluenavy, even attempted to pretend to be new to the server (unlike your second, which stated outright to be your alt). Another alt, icarly8, stole diamond horse armour from a player; later returning it pretending it to be a kind gift to replace the stolen armour the player had lost. One would hope you were feeling guilty about taking it, but did not want to admit you had. Regardless, icarly8 was banned for using an xray mod to mine out diamond ore.

Based on your statements not matching what I know to be possible, and the actions you had taken as your alts, I will not be unbanning you.
