banned for being a muli-keyer?

[Maxismasterson]

Beyond ID:Maxismasterson

Admin who banned you:unknown

Initial Duration:Sticky-ban

Duration Remaining:unknown

Reason for Ban: being something called a muli-keyer

Your Appeal, including evidence (Please create an Imgur album if you have multiple screenshots): I can't post evidence of doing or not doing this it happened on 7MAY2015 Not sure what I did

[Cattivix]

You logged with two accounts with the same IP on colonial. You said you are the only one using the computer in the chat,so thats not an accident.

the things are two,or you tried to log with another account,or you are using a remote IP

[Maxismasterson]

Not sure what a remote IP is. And if by some godly chance I did it I have no memory of it or said account. I was admittably inebriated one time and thought about how much I hate my BYOND ID and may have tried changing it. But honestly I can't remember doing this. But I'm not going to question it I'd rather just be able to play again I miss xenos ):

[Cattivix]

the ban is automatic,it starts the moment you log with the second account,so you must remember it if it happened. about the remote IP,use google or PM me and I'll try to help you see it.

Its possible his ISP assigned an IP that was leased to a multi-keyer, but isn't anymore.

Its possible his ISP assigned an IP that was leased to a multi-keyer, but isn't anymore.

What? If he has a static one,thats kinda impossible.

[Maxismasterson]

Honestly this is a bit much work. If I messed up bad enough for this to be such an issue I'll live with it I really don't remember. But I'm not going to question it. Thanks for the replies guys.

[HalfdeadKiller]

I doubt you messed up or multi-keyed, I really think that your external IP lease simply expired, and the new one you were leased from your ISP is IP Banned on this server. However, Apop will probably have to look into it.

[HalfdeadKiller]

Also, Cattivix, most of us playing don't have a static IP. It is Dynamic, and gets changed by the ISP for whatever reason. You can pay to have a static one assigned to you, however that costs money, and most people don't need a static IP. If it is just now occuring, he most likely has a dynamic IP, not a static one.

Also, while I do not use multiple accounts, I do play under the same External IP shared with a buddy of mine sometimes due to NAT. I have not been banned automatically because it is not my account, and we don't Metagame.

His Ip, was the same as a confirmed multi-keyer.

Specifically, Magic_Johnson, who tried to login a number of times.

I don't see any notes against this guy, so there is a chance, that Magic_Johnson spoofed his IP at one point.

[Maxismasterson]

So I didn't actually do anything?

[apophis775]

Well, the banner, thinks that you are a multi-key of a known multi-keyer.

[Maxismasterson]

Can it be fixed? I mean I'll just stay gone if its not fixable. But if I was a multi-keyer I clearly wouldn't go through this. I am just mainly upset that this happened I never even joined the server in the past month and honestly people like this magic_Johnson guy make me mad. I've been really good except for my very first ss13 try. And its kinda sad that this happened. How'd he even spoof my IP?? If its not fixable that's fine I don't blame the admins for this in the slightest.

[Cattivix]

You cant actually "fix" the spoofing,but you could try to prevent it with a static IP.

I wish you luck!

[Maxismasterson]

What's a static IP and how would I use that instead of what I have??

[Cattivix]

Use the power of Google!

A static IP is an IP that doesnt change (you dont say) while a dinamic does. If it wont stop the spoofing,it can help Apophis recognize you.

I might be wrong

[Maxismasterson]

Well I kinda guessed that but how would I make my IP static? Also thanks to those who've responded I appreciate the help and will continue to be respectful as possible even if this can't be resolved .

[Cattivix]

Dont do it yet,wait for another response (expecially from apophis) to see if that could really help in the future. By the way:

[Maxismasterson]

Alright. Also the ban says it can just be removed by the host. But I'd rather prevent any future issues I honestly love the server I've always been a huge alien fan.

[apophis775]

Yes, a static Ip would REALLY help in the future, as stickybans work off of:

1. Individual computer ID
2. IP
3. Byond Account ID

In that order.

[Maxismasterson]

I'll have to do that then thanks for being so helpful guys.

[HalfdeadKiller]

*sigh* Alright. So. Changing his IP on his computer, will probably do nothing if he is behind a router. Most routers will assign private IPs which are used on Private Networks, and are completely and utterly unroutable on the internet. AKA, private IPs won't work on the internet, you won't get anywhere. Having him change the IP on his computer from Dynamic to Static should do nothing, as it is being handled by NAT. What NAT does, is because we are low on IPv4 addresses (ex. 192.168.0.1), it takes a single Public IP (ex. 69.146.76.30), and translates that Public IP to a bunch of Private IPs. Public IPs are used in the internet, it is what every router, or website, or game server sees when you connect to it. The people who handle public IPs, are Internet Service Providers, such as Time Warner Cable.

Internet Service Providers can assign you a static, non-changing IP for a price. However, for the most part, Dynamically assigned IPs serve the purpose well enough. Since Public IPs are low, they can get assigned to different people depending on different circumstances. I'm unsure what those circumstances are, however. But since they do get swapped around, that means a router with a computer that accessed the server with one IP, can be assigned a different IP. And then the Banned IP can be assigned to another router, where any computer behind said router will say they are banned from the server.

I am not familiar with Computer ID banning, so changing your Private IP may fix that. However it will not affect an IP ban, as the CM Server will not see Private IPs. Only Public ones assigned by ISPs.

I'll lift him from the stickyban assocaited with the previous multi-keyer, that should fix it, unless, he IS the multi-keyer, in which case, it will re-ban him automatically.

[Maxismasterson]

Really appreciate this guys. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this but I'm really happy this is fixed. Thank you for putting the time into this and all I'm sure most would've just dismissed this so again thank you.

[Cattivix]

Dont worry,it wasnt your fault.
