If you were banned, here are some steps you should take:
Step 1: Were you really banned? If you are banned, it will ALWAYS give you a message, "You were banned by [insert moderator/admin name here]. Reason: [Insert reason here]" OR it will give you a message saying, "You have been banned for [reason if it was given]." Hopefully you remember what the reason was because subsequent attempts to get in will only say, "The Ban Hammer Has Spoken!"
Step2: Are you actually signed into minecraft.net? The normal launcher's way of logging you in is really crappy unfortunately, and often takes 2-15 tries to log in to minecraft.net If you click on "Play offline" you will ALWAYS get this message:
"You were banned. Reason: Undefined"
Step 3: If you are signed in properly, then post a topic here on Ban Appeal.
Step 4: Post your IGN, name of moderator who banned you, and reason for banning
Step 5: BEG BEG BEG BEG BEG BEG
Step 6: Wait for a moderator to approve or decline your ban appeal
