    I highly respect you (and will continue to do so). You're a great guy; It's unfortunate that you got pulled into that, but I believe you can bounce back and I'm sure you've learned. This video was worded very well as always and it's great that you're not hiding from it. I quit ranked pretty quick because of how enraging it was. I'm not sure what's going to happen from here-forward, but I wish you the best of luck, man.

It really is sad to see something like this happen with someone who has been such a positive influence for so long. But mistakes happen, it's a part of life. I hope that sometime we can play again whether it is on Hypixel again one day or on another server or game entirely. Sucks to see this happen Cal but I'm still with ya and will continue to be as long as you stay true to who you are. That got really deep really fast but it's what I think. Good luck Cal :D

      Yeah, i really hate those comments an english essay, plus they sometimes makes grammar, and spelling mistakes. I don't think that they can notice, because their typing too fast that they don't even care the spelling or grammar. Yeah true, like 99% of the comments are covered by english essays, lol. I don't really like it, i'm kinda impatient, boi i'm a fast typer by the way!! Feel bad for Refraction, i mean he did kinda deserve it for all those years, trust and to us fanbase. Kinda sad, but now he's doing ok. He use Badlion Client as proof that he doesn't hack anymore, but you could easily like download a autoclicker and Since hypixel don't support BAC, kinda hard to tell, if he's clicks are real. There's an old say "once a hacker starts hacking, the hacker will never turn back" i don't even know if it's true, but 50% of my research kinda true. I hope my comment wasn't long. I wonder if he still uses hacks? Like i mean, a hacker never turn back. Kinda interesting to see, what'll happen in the future, by the way, are you excited for Hytale? Because i am! I hope it's not free, so there will be less hackers and less toxicity. I really hope that it'll compete Minecraft itself. Kinda wanna see, will Hypixel will lose it's players. I mean, all these years, they still have lot's of players! I am really excited for Hytale and i also hate long english essays right?

    I do believe you deserve punishment but a permanent ban was harsh. Ben Mascott did fake giveaways and was let off lightly, another UA-camr who's name I can't remember, x-rayed and got a week ban and lost the rank for a short while. A0E, may not have had the rank, but has hacked many times and sent countless death threats. The worst ban he recieved was 2 months. I'm not saying Hypixel should be biased as you are a former moderator and used to have the UA-cam Rank but permanent ban is stupid. The amount of cheaters that get away with cheating to masters division and don't get banned is ridiculous and the few that get got get a week or two week ban. EDIT: Adding on to this I have found numerous other cheating UA-camrs but I couldn't be bothered to add a list.
    I still respect you Cal, you make great content on both your main and second channel. I hope you get unbanned.

Just so you know, we are all still here waiting for your big comeback. We will not leave you just because you are a human being making mistakes and expressing emotions of rage. The bright side of the story is that ranked skywars is most probably going to get removed according to hypixel's tweets. The result of this is less hacking tendencies and less toxicity on the community thanks to you :)

    It's a shame because you obviously are very skilled at the game and you could always tell your gameplay was legitimate so hopefully this won't damage your reputation as being good too much. Ranked infuriated me so I just stopped playing it after getting Gold Division but I can imagine the temptation to give hackers a taste of their own medicine, especially in a rated competitive game mode. You are definitely a good person and everyone makes mistakes sometimes, I feel like this will certainly be a punishment but hopefully the ban won't be for a long time.

    I may be on the road to quitting minecraft, still debating if I will or not, but I can somewhat relate to this. In the summer of 2017, I was going for my first gold division, but could not get past 1200 rating due to everyone blatantly cheating on me. I was very tempted to install a hacked client and use it against them, but I ended up backing away from the situation. I think that you should be forgiven, especially since you only used cheats against other cheaters.

    I understand why you would cheat In such a toxic community, even if it is the wrong thing, you frustration overpowers your sense of judgement. Even though you have cheated, and hence, violated server rules, everyone deserves a second chance. Cal, you have helped me through a lot of my life by being a good influence and in a way, a good role model. I went from nothing to top 110 in ranked 4 times. You have been a great person, and I think that you should have a second chance.

    tbh, this is unfair, we all know that Refraction is a god and he is truly amazing at the game. The only reason he got into trouble is because he is a yt, some masters players hack and never get banned. If Cal wasnt a yt, would he actually be in trouble, its not like watchdog is even good

    I love how staff bans you for using vape for a week for ranked skywars, a game where literally EVERYONE cheats, while known bhoppers and blatant cheaters go completely punishment free for months in games like UHC and BSG.
    You are one of my most respected youtubers in the MC community, not just because of your content but the fact that you keep things real with everyone, regardless of who it is, and explain your actions clearly. I can understand the urge to cheat in a game like ranked sw (which is probably the worst game on hypixel), and one of the reasons I quit in the first place was because of the fact that hypixel sets a double standard, saying that cheating is not allowed and banning a popular figure in the community to make it appear as if cheating would get punished in a severe way, while tons of people that use blatant hacks don't get caught by their "anticheat".
    Either way, thanks for sharing what happened, fully, with everyone, as I know that people have been dying to know what was going on.

Yeah, I know, I have a weird mentality but at least I can understand you. You have helped me and a lot of people in Hypixel PvP for quite a while and it's just, Thank you.

    It's hard, but you have to control yourself instead of cheating in Ranked. I'm playing Ranked currently, and I'm frustrated every now and then. For example, in the last day of the last season I lost my (first) Gold Division bc I played the last day, and it was infected by many hackers, and some masters. I'm trying to get Gold for a year (not every months, many months I didn't play), and since June I could have got it easily, but Ranked is infested with campers, cleaners, tryharders and cheaters (and masters like you, legit masters players from Diamond, Master and even Gold Division), and I thought I had Gold securily, but NO, never trust in Ranked...
    All my respect to you, you're one the best people in the entire YT creating MC content!

    While your actions are inexcusable you are still great as a person, being transparent about everything that happened. Also, I think the ban was a bit harsh - the most I would have expected was YT rank removal and at most a 3-month ban. If you did it again a permban would be justified but I don't think it fits for a first-offence, even from a YT / ex-mod.
