Okay, just another day on the faction server I loved to play on. I had it good, everyone was my subject. After I raided that one XP grinder noob I had had dozens of godswords and godarmor suits (This was in 1.2.5, when getting to max level was like 15 times harder!). I was however low on diamonds to repair some nearly broken sets of armor (The server had Mcmmo). So I decided to go on a lovely mining trip with the fortune III pick I held so near and dear to myself. After walking to some fresh unclaimed land far out, I found a good cave to get started. So down and down I went, further and further, until Lava was in my presence. There in front of my eyes was a new fresh vein of diamond, not too exciting, it was only 1 vein. After that I decided to shaft, I get very very lucky. Diamond after diamond ore I was adding to my collection. I would announce every vein I found to the world just to mock those who were poor ;). Eventually some faction who was angry at my accused me of using a modded client (X-ray). I simply denied it and kept mining in a straight line. After awhile an admin shows up and asks to check my mine. Nervously I accept (What choice did I have? I wasn't using the client but hey, stuff happens). I then continue and find a cave. He then gives me a warning that he is iffy about me using X-ray, and that if I was I should stop. I loved the server and would never do anything to cheat or get myself banned otherwise.(I had been playing for 3 months now) After that warning I give a sigh of relief, and move on. I find some iron, and accidentally slip my arm and I dig 2 blocks to the side, and find....DIAMOND. I forget exactly what happened that moment, but I think I shrieked like a girl, and was banned right on the spot... And that was it, ITS ONLY HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO ME, PLEASE WORLD GIVE ME A BREAK!
Lol, this is a funny but really WTF-moment story. And that thing where you just find diamond by mining 1-3 blocks in front of you, it's happened to me a lot. xD
Aw man, that sucks! If you can, go to the server website (if it has one) and make a ban appeal. From there, you can tell your story and hope for the best!

"Hmm... no diamonds here. Maybe I should look underground?"

Thanks for caring Buddy, but Actually that was a long time ago (Like a year ago) And I just happened to share it now. I DID eventually get unbanned but it took like 4 days to convince the admins. MY point is in the story is, When do you NOT wanna find diamonds realistically? THIS is when, and not too many people can say it has happened to them.

I agree with this, if you've been playing so long an had so much good stuff, doing an appeal is a good idea.
Edit: /me is a really slow poster. Anyway, glad you got unbanned
In Minecraft Servers, you either go with stone stuff and a n00b, or you have freakin' Diamond everything and you get banned for HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX!

So true. No one understands how easy diamonds are to get if you actually mine for them.

Seriously servers. Seriously.
I would put a few hundred buck on it that I have been one of the top people banned the most for falsely-accused X-ray lol. That just about sums it up. Not that it matter because the idiot staff on the server would just abuse rollback to spawn themselves infinite diamonds.

Tru dat buddy! On my singleplayer world, Not only have I found diamond within 10 minutes of playing but also I have 8 stacks of Diamond blocks. (Enough to get myself banned on about 5 servers)

You should go on a server with Strict Anti-Hack programs so you aren't accused of Xraying when you find diamonds. Trust me, the program that that server uses would instantly kick/ban you if you were using X-ray.

What's so special about mining diamonds anyways? Every server just hands them out now for voting and gives out everything else to make the game not challenging at all. But you said this was in 1.2.5 and I don't remember servers having those shams then. I remember once back then I applied to be a builder for some few month old server. I built them a few shops and buildings and finished off the castle walls (their previous builder quit) and spend a good 3-4 days sprucing things up. Anyways the owner came online who I have never seen yet and he asked how was I flying. I told him his Admin gave me a building job to finish the spawn because the other guy quit. He said thank you and banned me. Reasoning: He didn't know how to switch me back to Survival.

Sucks buddy :/ Anyway I don't really play build/faction pvp servers anymore purely because there are no more good ones out there like you said. This server was one of the best where donating wasn't too OP (I think 200$ got you a protected chest but that was about it). Raiding was realistic and hard. Fights weren't just prot IV up the butt and where there were no invisibility potions...

Exactly, this is why I hate most servers. The moderators and admins act like 8-year-olds. :/

This is why I only go on well known servers, or servers where the admins are great guys that everyone is happy with.
Basically, if it's a server you've never heard of and the admins aren't well known, at least good guys, then I wouldn't go on it.
