@DJ :
"I have been banned for months now, I don't see what the whole evasion had to do with anything. I may have used like 20 spare accounts to come in chat, its not like I came in and griefed or anything. "
Sorry DJ, but I'm not letting that slide.
You abused your own position as an OP, went against some of the rules yourself, trolled, swore, were disrespectful, and acted cocky all the while when you were getting away with it. Were you a normal player, and you didn't have a position that was being abused, then yeah, you would've got off lighter and a lot sooner, maybe so even if you didn't have the history of being an OP who abused their position in one way or another... but what you fail to recognise is your actions on the whole were just untollerable. You cannot use the support you've given as a "get out of jail free" card. Nobody can deny that you did help, but it doesn't give you the right to do what you did in the past. Yet you still justify yourself with that. You were an OP, and really an OP shouldn't act the way you did some of the times... It's even made this appeal trickier (I don't know about others, but I think the whole fact DJ was an OP possibly made things more awkward to deal with).
The whole reason why ban evasion and using alt accounts isn't good is because it shows you'd learnt nothing at the time; probably hadn't thought about the reason you were banned at all, and if anything, showed you couldn't give a "firetruck" about the fact you'd been banned, or the rules for that matter. Banning a player is to prevent a them from playing or enjoying the server after they've had their chances there, not JUST to stop them causing further harm. It's punishment. You didn't take that seriously, so you made your own problems worse in that. This has all been said before...
Having said that, I'm not just trying to say I don't think you deserve unbanning. I am still wary, but I can also understand the anger you will have had at the time when you were banned, and that sometimes you only did some of the lesser things for a laugh or to be friendly. But this, along with the what you had given us, and the grudge you held against the one SuperOP who you feel wronged you, doesn't give you any justification for any wrong actions you carried out. Just because someone's thankful for a cake, doesn't mean they've got no right to be angry if the same guy then kicks them in the balls. (crude I know, but you get my meaning)
All in all, you were usually an awesome, and fun player around the server, and probably one of the best (if not the best) redstone builders we've had. I'm going to be honest, I've kinda missed the server music livestream you'd do, and I do think it'd be good to have ya back in general. But you still did leave us feeling betrayed by your actions, and it still seems like you couldn't really give a damn.
This is just how I feel overall, and I think it'll be my last word on it.
I think you should take things seriously if you do want back DJ, even if it means sucking up a bit of pride, or admitting fault even if you don't really see the big deal. I think most players have decided it'd be okay to let ya back, and I wouldn't disagree with it. Just try not to be an ass and screw things up if ya do, okay? =P
No hard feelings from me, couldn't give a toss if there's hard feelings from you after reading this lot, lol. Take it how ya want, and I'll cya round.
