Hello, I just got banned a couple of minutes ago for 'griefing' the message said, which in a sense was true. I was rummaging through a players house and taking what I wanted from chests, and I took an anvil off the wall.
I feel like this ban was unjustified because there were a couple of signs out near the nether portal that stated the place was abandoned and could be raided freely, so I thought my actions in taking from the chests and taking the anvil were legal. I had no intent to grief or steal, and I do apologize if it wasn't legal for me to take the items or the anvil. I would like to return the items and anvil andcontinue playing here if at all possible. I was starting to grow to like the place.
