That still does not justify a ban, The lots were up for grabs and i took advantage of this and bought them. when i asked if the chests could be removed i was told that mods do not have the permissions to remove them, so i assumed that i would not get in trouble if i drained the items out of them. as far as i was concerned i had access to the chests and lots so the land and the items on them were considered mine. if after a period of inactivity the lot is up for grabs then it is assumed they forfeit their claim on the lot which includes the chests.
