general you were originally demoted for numerous single block towers right near spawn, this was thought to be blockspam and conrod happened to be the admin to make the demotion, I would have made the same decision to demote were I on at the time and any other admin more than likely would have done the same as well. Your demotion, which may have been temporary pending an explination from you, remained permanent after you got onto the forum and were insulting the admins and the community as a whole it seemed, and you were all out being demanding. Your ban was enacted after you created two signs on the server against conrod, which were the situation a little different may have just been laughed off, but given what all you had been saying and doing it all led up to you being banned. I would go back and re-read my response to your thread and remember a few things, minecraft is a
Game, and we have very strict rules that we ensure that everyone is held to those standards, Ultimately conrod is the one handling this situation, and it will be his say as to whether or not you are allowed an appeal to your ban. The rules that are in place are there for a reason, and every single member of T9K is subject to them.
You will need to be patient and wait for Conrod to answer this thread, and I do ask that nobody else contribute to this conversation and be reminded of Ollee's post
