- Did you break any of the rules?  No not any.
- Did you grief another players work?  No, not at all
- Did you swear excessively?  Not once cuz I wouldn't risk that.
- Did you upset an operator/ moderator or cause general disrespect to other members/ players on the server?  Yes but he never liked me cuz I was charging high prices for horses.
- Did you draw hateful symbols or say hateful remarks?  Not once.
If you answer yes the any of these questions, then your chances of being pardoned are extremely slim.
If you truly believe your ban was:
1) Not warranted  Yes
2) Not appropriate   Yes
3) Handled badly by a moderator or operator  Yes
4) Not correctly entered (sometimes a moderator will mistype the ban command and accidentally make a ban permanent)  IDK
5) A miscommunication  Yes for sure
