Alright, here is my story. I put it in a spoiler since it is quite long.
There is a server I joined in March 2014. It was probably the best server you will find. Very friendly community, back then all the staff knew exactly what to do and could do just about anything, not to mention that they were very nice too.
Around December 2015, a new player joined. He was not like other players, was very mature and was very friendly compared to others (all of the players on the server were friendly, but this one was best). So I decided to help him get started. I let him use my blaze farm and automatic melon farm, use parts of my base since I didn't need them, and I made him maxed diamond armor and tools. We started building things together (I love building, and so did this new player).
One day in April 2016 the server admins announced on the server forum that moderator applications were open. I applied and hoped for the best (I had been playing on the server for 2 years and was one of the most well-known players). This new player also applied. Well, I my application didn't get accepted but this new player's application did. So he became a staff member and I didn't (much to my disappointment, I had been waiting for this for a year). So I decided to throw a party for the new player who DID get accepted in my newly completed convention center, and it was the most ridiculous thing you would ever see on a server. Tons of players went to it and it was mostly throwing tons of splash potions of nausea, strength and healing. Lots of explosions and fireworks. I have a recording of it somewhere. It was probably the funnest thing I have ever done.
A few months after I joined that server in March 2014, another player joined. This guy started off OK but when he started donating and buying all the perks, he became the rudest player you will ever meet. Constantly messaging me rude messages telling me to stop complaining about him being rude to other players, and he got warned, muted, and banned several time, all for being rude to players. Fast forward to April 2016, I have just about had it and just want him banned once and for all. A few days after I report him, the staff applications open and he applied. Guess what? HE BECAME A MODERATOR. He had a filthy record of griefing, swearing, and being rude to players. I even reported him and he still became a moderator. I had a clean record, I had NEVER been rude to players, and I was very supportive of the community yet I did not become a moderator when I applied. For the first week he was not rude, but then after that all hell broke loose. Players who had clean records for 5 YEARS (this server started in 2011) suddenly got banned, kicked, muted and warned because of things that did not break the rules (such as pranking friends they knew IRL). They asked for the offenses to be removed from their profiles, and the server owner said "I trust his decisions and they will not be removed". Then, he starts dirtying MY clean record with warnings, over things like flattening land, buildings that are "too fancy and modern", and "redstone lighting causes lag".
On June 25, 2016 , the unthinkable happened. I opened my Minecraft launcher to check for griefs on my property. So I clicked the server name in the list, it goes to "logging in" and then a horrible sight: "You are banned from this server! Reason: griefing". Knowing that I was not a griefer, I immediately freaked out and went on the forum to write a dispute. Guess who banned me? THE ABUSIVE MODERATOR. He replied with a screenshot of what I "griefed". The server had prizm and so they used it to see who griefed something. The screenshot did not look familiar in any way to me, and so I asked some questions about it. Rather than answering it, the thread got locked. I knew something was wrong, and so I asked the nice moderator (the player in my "best" entry) to investigate for me, knowing he would happily do it (he was very supportive of me getting unbanned). Since I was not banned on the forum, he checked the ticket and took more screenshots of the area. I was surprised to find that it was a house that one of my friends owned. I KNEW I didn't do it then, and more investigation found out that the moderator had actually griefed the building and used some hack to make it look like I did it. I started a thread on the forum saying that this guy needs to get demoted and banned PERMANENTLY, and before anyone could see it or reply the thread gets locked and deleted. As a last resort, I contact the server owner and tell him. He never replied, and it has been 2 weeks. Then the abusive moderator goes and tells some other staff members who don't even know me that I am a "horrible griefer and troll" and, just to be mean, all of them put like 20 bans on my profile just to annoy me and saying really mean things in the reasons like "Bye zFa!!!! We won't miss you!", "Wow, it's so great to be rid of you!" and "You are a horrible person and should never have even been allowed on this server in the first place. We are so much better than you." Then they ban me from their OWN servers before I can even contact them and tell them that none of this is true. What's worse is that they use MCBans on all of them and now I have a horrible rating on it and can't even join most servers now.
I had projects that took me MONTHS to complete on that server, I had made several friends and was very well known and now I lost all of it because of this.
WOW. Just... WOW. Why did the owner trust him in to be a moderator with THAT much of a hostility streak?

Something tells me this abusive moderator didn't get elected by choice... especially since the owner has not replied to you ever since. It sounds like there's something going on a bit deeper than what we can see on the surface here.
What I'm suggesting is that this person might have threatened the owner IN REAL LIFE to keep him out of it. Also, considering he has a powerful enough hacking agent to change prizm's history, he might have also been able to OP himself and silence the other administrators.
This person is obviously very powerful and has destroyed the entire community with no resistance. It may not be a good idea to try to go back to that server, since the entire chain of command has been corrupted. I'm sorry, but you might just have to find another server to play on.
This is all just speculation, however, so this all might be completely wrong. This is just the conclusion I was able to derive from your description of the events.
...At least MCBans was nice enough to wipe the bans off of your record, right? At least some people are still willing to help you.
Look up some of the best servers on Google and find one that will match the old server the most. It will take a bit to get settled, but it's better than risking it by making the old moderator mad and possibly hacking your computer to destroy your life. I have no other ideas to put forth.

That person was probably just a stupid idiotic 20-year-old that's has no life whatsoever.
You should either apply to be a moderator or wreck every ones faces in a game then scream it. If you become a moderator you should totally grief EVERYTHING and say MERICA when you're finished.
I got banned from hypixel for no reason. It just said "Banned By Watchdog". I wasn't doing anything...

I've never been banned from a server, but then again I don't play on public servers either. My question is why would you bother to appeal the ban? If the admins don't want me there, oh well, I really don't care.
My question is why would you bother to appeal the ban? If the admins don't want me there, oh well, I really don't care.
Because sometimes the staff gets compromised and innocent people get banned due to a hacked mod/admin account. If you appeal, the staff (once they fix the initial problem) can let you back in.
Other times, a staff member will ban you by mistake or misconceive something as you breaking a rule when you didn't do anything. Appealing can (and should) get your unfortunate mistake rectified.
Once over 3 years ago, someone I had been playing with in another server for a few months had been muted for telling a group of people making rude remarks at him to stop.
No, and I'm trying to get it back... I have Luuke on Discord, and I'm trying to ask him some things. A lot of people do that to servers. They ask to be staff, then they mess everything up ;c

UGhh...
On a server,I was elected for Mod...and I got banned by the Co-Owner for "Haha,my friend wants mod,get out"
Oh and I got banned for saying "Hi :D"

Oh great, now I have to get a new computer.
Once over 3 years ago, someone I had been playing with in another server for a few months had been muted for telling a group of people making rude remarks at him to stop.
Wow, they REALLY wanted to kill the server then. Did anyone stop them?
No, and I'm trying to get it back... I have Luuke on Discord, and I'm trying to ask him some things. A lot of people do that to servers. They ask to be staff, then they mess everything up ;c
Banned for Banned...
Seems legit...
