I am trying to log onto Empire Minecraft and I'm getting the following message: You are banned from Empire Minecraft. Reason: Automated spam protection. I think I was banned because I was typing single characters in the local chat in the wilderness to try and find my friend. When I found my friend I relayed what I was doing in a private message and got kicked off again. I honestly didn't realise it would be a problem in a private message and I apologise for breaking the rules and causing any problems. I assure you I will not make this silly mistake again. Could you please let me know how long the ban is for and I look forward to playing on your server again soon. Thanks very much. Bennyt8
As Mrsmiley99 stated, this is not the correct way to appeal a ban. Seeing as you likely don't know who banned you, find a moderator on the forums and 'Start a Conversation' with them, telling them what happened. They will look into it for you. The button is at the top right of their page.
The automated spam protection is pretty tough when it comes to spam, i have unbanned your account seeing as it was only a small incident in private chat.
