Let's say you own a shop. your shop has the same anti-thief security as the shop next door to yours. Your shops both sell t-shirts. You take one of the shirts from your shop, without removing the security clip, and bring it into the shop next door. The shirt sets off the beeper, and if you don't investigate a little further it would look like you were stealing a shirt from their shop.

As much as I think it's unfair to be banned for putting items in, you should realize that messing with the chests in the first place will get you in trouble. It's also like ringing the fire bell when there isn't any fire. It's a false alarm and is a waste of time and energy. If you really are innocent, it will be settled in the ban appeals. The time you spend being banned is the price you pay for wasting a mod's time tampering with the traps.

He has been putting the stolen items back into the chests probably, which is usually what we do after a theft.

He cant put stolen items back in he puts new ones back in. the stolen ones are gone with the people he banned.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to point out something. Today I learned that if you put items in the griefer traps, you will be banned. I do not understand why this is. Someone puts an item in and they get banned? It's not like they stole anything from the chest!

I don't think this is right, I have talked to a few other members and they agree with me.

Hayden I understand what you are saying, but Leo told me he puts items in there himself to catch the members. So whats the difference? He is putting items in the chests that can seem enticing to other members encouraging them to take the items out.
