ChiefTiger Unban Request.

So I haven't played this server in a while, and I decided to pop back in, using the SAME SKIN I had used back when I played it around 6 months ago. My friends and I walked around a bit, managed to make it out of spawn, then start getting yelled at for having "invisible skins". I tell them that our skins aren't invisible and they reply saying that something called "Sprout" causes it to be invisible. How am I supposed to know that? I tell them to stop using Sprout then (at this point I don't know what Sprout is, I thought it was a texture pack). I am then kicked from the server for using an "Invisible Skin" with the message "Change it.".

At this point I was pretty angered with the fact that nobody informed me of what Sprout ACTUALLY is (I googled it and know now) and instead simply bashed me for using an invisible skin. I did what whoever kicked me wanted, though, and restarted Minecraft and rejoined with a different skin. This is the skin that I changed it to:

http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/122882/templar-of-dawn/

When I got back into the server (still not knowing what Sprout was) I said "Gee, I hope this skin isn't invisible." and then I got banned. To my knowledge, there was no one even around me to see my new skin applied so I was pretty much randomly banned for a false reason. I will admit that I was being cynical in my statement, but only because I was angered that (at the time what I thought was a texture pack) was the cause of me getting kicked and having to change my skin.

I would like to be unbanned because I feel like I really didn't do anything worth being banned over and nobody even tried to explain to me what Sprout was and why it causes invisible skins.

EDIT:

It appears my ban was shorter than I thought, but I will leave the story here for whoever cares and maybe assist in letting new players know why their skins may be invisible.

I was the one who banned you temporarily. I'll come out and say that when you logged back in and said "Gee, I hope this skin isn't invisible", I teleported to you and saw you with the same skin. I later realized that it was because the old skin was artifacting and I needed to log back in to see your new one. I don't hide behind my pride, so for that I am sorry.

However, when a staff member asks you to do something, they have a reason for it. If you don't understand, ask them, preferably with tells so misunderstandings like this don't happen.
