(Yukarion's interpretation was that enforcing this against ban evaders would be impossible and would lead to people whining for things to be restored that shouldn't be. As a result I've gone ahead and removed that condition entirely.)

Ban Evasion. - edit: I think a base should only be restored for the first two reasons. If someone was evading a ban for using autototem, for example, restoring a base which they found and griefed through perfectly legitimate means would be absurd. Ban them for ban evasion, of course, but this is a separate issue entirely. I think this is an issue that Yukarion would have to give his opinion on. Essentially, if someone is ban evading they shouldn't be able to play, yet at the same time if they don't use illegal methods against a base, what's the deal there?

ℹ️ This page is a proposal, the text on it does not currently apply to the server.

This page is intended to server as the basis for creating a new server policy in which bases that were destroyed or severely damaged through illegal means can be restored by the admins.

If a base is destroyed by a player who used an x-ray texture pack to locate it and/or used illegally obtained materials or client-side hacks to destroy it, the base can be restored to its original state if requested by the builders. If the base's original builders are no longer active, restoration is left up to admin discretion.

Conditions

For restoration to be considered one of three things must be provable by the builders and admins.

X-ray used to locate the base.

Duped materials used, such as TNT or Wither Skulls.

Limitations

While this policy is able to restore the builds themselves at a base, NPCs and storage chests cannot be restored. While this might make the policy seem pointless if the fundamentals of a base cannot be restored, the main goal is to offer some protection to the hundreds, or possibly thousands of combined man hours that go into bases, as well as deny hackers a place in server history.
