Why should you be unbanned?: Cake used the bug for around 5 minutes and was banned without any warning or any request for him to stop from staff. Personally, I think that is ridiculous as I was in Discord with him at the time and he was not using it to be malicious in any way and was only trying to use it on me to wind me up (I have him shadowplayed only trying to use it on myself and saying so, so if staff would like to see this I can provide).

This ban would be equally as unjust if it was on a brand new player to the server where you could be forgiven for thinking that they were using it to be malicious but the fact that it was given to a player with over 250k points who has been a regular for over a year without warning is shocking administrative work. A typed warning from staff is all it would have taken or maybe a kick warning perhaps but surely a week ban is the last resort after a warning and kick and failure to stop, NOT something you hand out before even instructing the person to stop.
