Ignoring the fact that the format was not used, a new fourm wasn't started, and you were x-raying within a few minutes of joining the server...No.

Just an update to this - nobody with your name or anyone similar has been banned recently and the account you typed out has never joined Minetown. I have looked over all recent bans as well and none of them match a ban message with what you describe.I'm guessing you appealed to the wrong server. If you want to join this server, use the IP information in the previous post. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out on here - or for a faster response, join our discord @ mt.gg/discord.

Hey Hunter, are you sure you got your username right? And for that matter, are you on the right server?I'm trying to look into this for you but there's no player with that username who has ever joined the server before, and no logs of any similar names in the last week or so. I'm currently asking staff if anyone remembers banning you or anyone with that reason recently, but it seems like your name doesn't exist anywhere on Minetown.In fact, if you could join Minetown using the following IP: MT.GG and the default port of 19132, and take a screenshot of what it says - along with a screenshot of your title screen so it shows your username, it would be much easier for me to help you out here.

Thank you for posting this. I have really decided to reflect on my actions and believe every single person that says they didn't do something just because they said so, despite heaps of evidence and years of experience moderating on the server.   I would rather have three honest players online than have someone who is x-raying and lying about it. Coming on here and pretending like you're some savior of the server who got banned for no reason is not going to get you unbanned; nor is anyone hopping on to "join your cause." We will continue to run the server the way we have for the past 15 years and it will continue to go steady. Our server is paid for completely by the community who plays within the rules and enjoys the server the way it is. As long as we have a welcoming community to the people who play fairly, and we can keep the server running, we'll be fine.   I'd appreciate it more if your "constructive criticism" had more solid argument to it and not just trying to get out of a ban where you very clearly were cheating. We are very lenient when it comes to bans. You could have easily had a reduced ban by admitting to it and accepting the consequences; but instead you threw a fit. I'm not going to remove this post. We never remove posts that critique the server. We address the concerns and change if we determine that further action is needed. In this case, you bring up no valid points; just crying about being banned instead of facing the consequences. Unless you have anything of value to say, you will be removed from the forums. Anyone else is welcome to chime in if they have real concerns about the server.

Clearly this isn't going anywhere. Each of these are solid proof of x-raying and these are sorry excuses. Would've been better off saying "trust me bro" instead of making up stuff about YouTube videos.   Yes, you can mine in random directions and eventually hit debris. Unlike everyone else though, you hit every single debris. That is not lucky, that's x-raying. Making larger tunnels to say you were a normal player does not actually make you a normal player or get you out of a ban; nor does dying in lava.   The "I'm a normal player I swear I didn't do it" card only works the first time. This is very obvious x-ray. Appeal is denied. Thread will be locked. If you make a new thread or continue on an old one asking to be unbanned your forums account will just be removed. Hope to see you by Christmas!
