Everything has been rolled back anyway, so there’s nothing to give back.
Yes the town was mostly abandoned and there were other griefers (who got banned as well), but that doesn’t mean you can grief it. It’s very simple: Don’t touch any other players’ buildings without their permission.
And about the ban itself: Of course we ban for something which is clearly against the rules. Why would we wait and allow further damage to be caused? The forum is the place to defend yourself, not ingame.
That all being said, you said you followed every single rules and it is clearly stated in the rules that what you did is not allowed…
Ban remains permanent.
Dispute closed.
