Magically appearing permanent ban for another ckey

Post by Rebbus » 02 Aug 2018, 03:56

Hullo. First time actually using this forum. The issue cropped up at may, 22, but I decided to wait and see, if it will disappear as magically, as it appeared. It didn't.

Your Byond ID:
Subber
Character Name:
[random alien name]
Type Of Ban (Job-ban (include the job), Timed Ban, Permaban):
Permaban it would appear.
Total Ban Duration:
Permanent
Remaining Duration:
'till the heat death of the universe
What other servers do you play on?
Baystation, Polaris, /tg/
Reason for ban:
Image
Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):
This is not my ckey in the Banned by host message. Not even a multiaccount of mine. I have seen at least one report with somebody else having this exact message pop up.

Do you use something like a VPN, wineskin, a shared connection, or an illegal copy of Windows OS?

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.

VPN was used at one point in time, but isn't really a thing at this point.

After looking into this, I can say with a great deal of certainty that you got banned because you share an ISP with the person in question. Looking back at your histories, I don't have reason to believe you are the same person.

I've gone ahead and added an exception to the ban for your CKey, however anyone else that logs in from one of the banned IPs, even from your house, will still receive an auto-ban. I would also recommend generally avoiding sharing an IP address with anyone else that plays CM.

Please get back to me if this resolves your issue.

I live in the magical world of dynamic IP, so, might be a little bit hard to. It has worked, so, thank you, for your time.
