So we are clear, I am not telling you to not appeal the ban. You will not get banned for that. There is a right place to make ban appeals, here on the forums, not in game, and not under “PirateCraft General”, but under “Help Request Ticket” where you posted this: http://piratemc.com/topic/teslotorpedo-ban-appeal/

Staff did read your request. Your original post should have updated rather than a new one created. But this is not why I am replying.

I’d like to cover why you did get in trouble with me, so let’s recap our conversation…

[15:47:48] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [_PigGuardian_ » -> me] can I request an unban on teslo
[15:48:41] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [me -> _PigGuardian_ »] NO. And you have already posted on forums. Ask me or another mod again and you
[15:48:50] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [me -> _PigGuardian_ »] may wind up joining him :/

^ A polite enough, but very firm response. Do not contest staff decisions, RULE #2 http://wiki.piratemc.com/Rules

But that didn’t stop you, you immediately responded:

[15:49:15] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [_PigGuardian_ » -> me] But I see no proof of him hacking
[15:49:50] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] _PigGuardian_ has been kicked by MCShovel for Do not contest staff decisions.

^ This is my way of saying “Do not argue with me.” It means, as far as I’m concerned, the conversation is over. It means I will not discuss it further with you in game, and if you persist punishment will be given appropriately.

Unfortunately being kicked from the game didn’t get your attention either. You then came back and addressed me in public chat:

[16:10:59] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] _PigGuardian_ » MCShovel will you be satisyfed if I give you a screenshot of his versions folder to see if he has hack

Then you log off before I can even reply :/ So I had to send you one last mail in game:

[16:15:34] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] _PigGuardian_ has been sent the following mail:
[16:15:34] [Client thread/INFO]: [CHAT] [MCShovel] If I hear you ask again you will be banned, no questions no appeals.

And what did you do? You proceed to bug other staff members. I don’t know if this is how you behave with your parents, but my kids know better than to pull this crap. The only way you are guaranteed to not get what you want in my house is to keep nagging one parent or, if you ask the other parent when you don’t like the first answer.

Next time if I ask you to drop it, take it offline to the forums instead of pestering me. If you follow the rules, including Rule #2, we will get along great. I hope that you now understand why you got in trouble, and hopefully this will serve as an example of what *not* to do.

PS: I do not want to see you banned for this. You’ve played here a long time, and I hope you will continue to do so. I’m sorry your friend got banned, but sometimes bad decisions have real consequences and other times life just isn’t fair.

That picture doesn’t prove anything sadly only that he has forge 1.8… you’d need to see his mods folder to prove it and it would have to be at the time of the accusation without logging out. Really even then you could just have a folder set aside that looks like a fair clean client.  Also forge has a lot of mods that work with it that are known as “hacks”. Not saying you can’t have forge it has some useful stuff for making the game run smoother but without seeing what forge mods you have you’re not proving anything.
