Curious about ban appeals. I've seen ban appeals denied due to them not owning up to something, despite serving the time. If they have served the time, then their reasoning and such should not matter. I remember on another server i used to go on, someone was banned for a week using xray. Appealed and denied the fact he did use xray, and the ban appeal itself was denied. Discuss: If given a timeframe on a ban, should their excuses even matter?
