I guess I don't understand why Rival has any part in this conversation at all, if that is the case. 

So I was banned retroactively for offenses I was never warned I was committing?

I can see now coming on here to seek justice for admin abuse was a mistake. Rather than my situation being given a serious evaluation, it appears I am being mocked for offhanded comments I have made on the server. I'm going to continue playing on the servers, simply because I like the community, but this is disappointing to say the least. Now that I know that such things are against the rules, I will not commit them in the future. However, a warning in the future will suffice, rather than a ban for no reason.

I also think it is a little unprofessional to allow members who have no say in anything to comment on ban complaint threads.
