Ban Appeal from 2016

[Drako1988]

Your Byond ID: Drako1988

Character Name: Celestia Howe (or alien)

Type Of Ban (Job-ban (include the job), Timed Ban, Permaban): uhm, think it was a timed ban, it was a long time ago.

Admin who banned you (if known): R11AUG16

Total Ban Duration: I assume couple months but still baned since 2016

Remaining Duration: unknown

What other servers do you play on?: bay12, paradise,

Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones? no

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): T-COMMS GRIEFING, YOU MAY APPEAL THIS ON 11NOV16

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

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc): I honestly do not remember doing this at all lol, its been years since I played and when I finally tried to replay the server I got that message. It might of been my brother or something I can't remember, but I would appreciate if I could be unbanned so I can play since I havn't been on in years. Any help would be appreciated! Says I was banned since 2016, but never appealed it until now, and says I was eligible to appeal then.

uh thats an extensive list, and no , no nothing about any of those. I recently moved from washington state to illinois bloomoington, maybe thats the issue? I am not sure, but thats alot of keys for one account

[x31stOverlord]

Maybe, do you use a VPN or an illegal copy of windows?

Additinoally, was this you who triggered the ban? Were you playing on the server in 2016?

[Sir Lordington]

Definitely looks like you got caught in a sticky, and it might be relatively recent. This will likely take a while to sort out.

[Drako1988]

Yes I used a VPN and no I do not have an illegal copy of windows. And my only account that I use is Drako1988 so the fact that somehow all of those were related is so weird, also I no longer use a VPN and have it shut off. I hope thats not the reason why I got banned though when reconnecting. Again i havnt played on your guy's server for several years, when I posted this appeal was my first and only attempt to connect, and when I got that error I was like whaaao what? lol, also I work alot so sorry it takes so long to reply

[Drako1988]

is it my account? should I make another one to fix? I am just so confused by this entire situation

[x31stOverlord]

Right, if you used a VPN at any time whilst connecting to the server you will have potentially been caught in the "net" of the IP that is banned from the server.

[Drako1988]

ah okay, so what happends from here then?

[x31stOverlord]

From here it will need to go to our head admins. With these sorts of bans they need to "whitelist" your Ckey to get you back on the server. It may take a few weeks to get fully sorted though.

Apologies for any inconveniences. In the future avoid VPNs like the plague when logging into the server, because of griefers who use them to try and avoid bans they end up blocking alot of IP ranges

[Drako1988]

Okay I understand thanks for your help! I'll stay busy with work until I can hopefully join! ty again

[Emeraldblood]

Resolved - Lifted; Don't use VPNs on the server in the future unless you want to get in more sticky bans. PM me on the forums if you can't log in.
