I understand your frustration, and after investigating the 'grief' I believe it may have not actually been grief at all. The build in question belonged to Dandan333, who was understandably distressed to find his pyramid in a half destroyed state. There were multiple players who had removed blocks, you being one of them. The owner was given the list of names, and he denied giving any of them permission to build and all were banned (as I understand it). You had removed several sandstone blocks from the roof, and the levels below. As far as I could work out, though, you may have been helping the owner to dig out the area beneath the pyramid, having also placed a beacon down for some purpose. The sandstone blocks you removed were in a vertical line above the beacon, to allow the beam to reach the sky. You had replaced a couple of the removed sandstone blocks with cobblestone after you removed the beacon, but did not replace all of the missing sandstone blocks with cobble. This was seen as grief, alongside the rest of the grief. You were just unlucky to have made similar changes to the griefers.
Based on my understanding, I think your ban was unjust and have unbanned you. Though, I will still need to talk to Dandan333 to confirm my thoughts. Apologies for the ban, I hope you can forgive the mistake.
With note to your comments on jailing, this would only serve to fill up our player slots and in-game chatter with banned players making their pleas; whether the Guardians are online or not. Making your appeal here on the forums allows us to investigate and respond to you without preventing others from enjoying their time on the server.
