Hey, so I saw this appeal this morning http://escaperestart.com/forum/threads/blocktopia-lag-banned-me.17917/ and saw this response from tnmjimbob
This is not a hack.
There is no existing hacked client that makes a user invincible. There ARE hacked clients that make people fly, but they would still take damage if in lava while flying.
When you lag out in minecraft, a few things happen:
Now, onto the second part of this post.
I received this PM shortly after my original post which was in the appeal itself. I blacked out the name for privacy.

As I recall, the rule for posting in ban appeals for non-staff is that you have to present relevant information. Obviously what I knew was pertinent to the ban he was about to receive for what I've found to be no reason at all. The fact that my post was deleted and I received a warning for trying to assist in a place where staff did not have all the angles covered means that they will not listen to any reasoning other than their own and is borderline staff abuse. Glorifying staff is a dangerous practice because we can all make mistakes and the color of your name shouldn't change that mindset.
EDIT: Fixed ban appeal link, my bad.
EDIT: Can't seem to get formatting right at the moment, the logs spoiler broke. Can't seem to fix it.
This information provided states that the user did not take damage from lava, was stuck floating while NOT moving, and didn't fall down when blocks under him were broken (If I misread any of this, please correct me).I'm still not happy with unbanning you. You also didn't die in RoF when the house wad flooded, here are logs provided by X__x:
It's obvious this is client side modification, and I want you to promise to disable it on all of our servers before I consider an unban.Sorry, this broke. You're gonna need to read it on the appeal, I can't seem to fix it.

When you lag out in minecraft, a few things happen:
- Running/Sprinting particles show if the user was doing either before timing out
- Crit particles still show when the user is hit
- The user takes no damage, can't move, can't attack, and won't fall even if nothing is under them.
