Ban appeal - "VPN"/MAC address issues

Post by Disciple of Faust » 29 May 2018, 08:46

Your Byond ID: Disciple_of_Faust (Disciple of Faust)

Character Name:

Rico 'Rat' (??? Houser ???)

Type Of Ban (Job-ban (include the job), Timed Ban, Permaban):

PermaBan for "vpn" from my mac address

Admin who banned you (if known):

N/A (autoban)

Total Ban Duration:

Permanent

Remaining Duration:

As said above

What other servers do you play on?

I frequent TG/VG/Paradise

Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones?

I have NOT been banned on TG, though I may NOW get banned on Paradise and a few others because of my MAC address.

Reason for ban (If you have a Permaban, it should be the EXACT MESSAGE YOU GET WHEN YOU LOGIN with the Error code that looks like this: X##XXX##. If you do not provide this EXACTLY you can't be unbanned):

Banned by host: 0000XX1 - This is the Multikeyer and Evasion Superban, If you are seeing this, it is because you have been tagged as a Multikeyer, Evader, or VPN user. You may also have been tagged if you use WINE as griefers have been using it. To get this ban proccessed or lifted, go to CM forums post you Ckey in the ban appeal area under the EXPERIMENTAL SUPERBAN THREAD. It will get checked as soon as I see it, as we will check it against the bans that have been combined into this

Link to previous appeals for the same ban (if applicable):

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):

I had recently bought my friends PC and realised that he had used VPN's when trying to play SS13 and had promptly been banned off a couple games as a result. I knew that the MAC address of the computer would probably cause this to happen, so I went on to check and of course, saw the auto-ban message. If at all possible, I would like to get un-banned on Colonial Marines, and hopefully you can see from any notes or comments left on my Byond profile show that I have played before, and made only honest and non-malicious mistakes on your server.

If at all possible as well, I don't know if this is true, but I heard you share banning lists. If so, should I also make appeals on servers like Paradise? Or Wait, try to connect to paradise and then make an appeal.

We don't share "banning lists". I believe what you might be thinking about is that we occasionally ask other servers about players, usually asking about a player's character or ban history on another server.

If you want to appeal a ban on another server, you will have to post an appeal on their forums.

The red text is not required. You'll have to wait until Apop can get around to looking at this, which may take some time. Any information you can give us on the subject can help.
Ban Appeal Users: If I've lifted your perma ban and you're still unable to log onto the server, send me a forum PM regarding it and I'll work to get it fixed in ~24 hours.

Your notes, or lack of them, really do help you in this case. I Would be ok seeing this ban lifted. Though I do have to say it was pretty silly of you to check to see if you would be banned with the VPN, or wineskin or whatever it was.

Whatever you actually did you use a vpn and got a permaban for it, you don't seem to have caused too much trouble so there shouldn't be too much problems with this being lifted.
You just really need to read the server rules on what not to do again and follow that.

Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing left to do.

Forum Rule #2: Do NOT post in an appeal if you are not contributing as a witness, if you are keep it simple and easy to read.

We'll lift this for your account, but trying to use any others will still pull the ban. Rahl will lift this shortly and update you when it has been lifted. Should you be unable to log in after Rahl says the ban is lifted, PM me on the forums and we'll look into it.

Resolved - Perma appeal accepted, wait for rahl to update on when it's lifted.

Jesus fuck that white text on red highlight. I'm tempted to keep you banned just because of that.

Le sigh. You should be able to connect now. Let me know if not.
