MisterLayne - Permaban(?) Appeal

[MisterLayne]

Your Byond ID: MisterLayne

Character Name: Katyusha Layne (probably; don't remember)

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

Admin who banned you (if known): Host B11JUN17 (?)

Total Ban Duration: Permanent (pretty sure? doesn't say)

Remaining Duration: Permanent

What other servers do you play on? Polaris SS13

Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones? I was banned on Paradise once-- you can probably check out that appeal on their forums. That was back when I was an SS13 Newbie.

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): Constant metacomms // Powergaming

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

Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc):

Not really sure how to appeal what I've done? I haven't played on CM in a while, probably half a year I'd say (not sure of the exact time). I've been Moderating on SS13 Polaris, so I really don't spend much time on other servers. The last time I played CM, I don't think I did anything that should have broken these rules? I did play CM when I was relatively new to SS13, but I never Metacommed, because I never even played CM with any of my friends. I ran solo. So, I'm sorry for whatever I did. I hope I can be forgiven.

No notes on that Ckey that I can find.. It appears that you have been caught in a sticky ban. Gotta wait for Emerald to look into this one.
Have you used a VPN in the past?

I have used a VPN, but never when playing on SS13.
What is a sticky ban?

What is a sticky ban?

Basicly, a ban that the server applies automaticly. Usually for multikeying and using VPN.

I never tried to log on to CM with a VPN as far as I remember. I also would think that the server would apply the ban with that reason, and not Metacomms/Powergaming.

Never seen any of them.

Ok, this looks like a sticky ban, it means that you connected with an IP that was linked to another person who was permabanned/multikeying.

This usually happens if you connect to CM-SS13 with a free VPN, or with a wifi/connection that someone else has been banned on.

At this point only EmeraldBlood can look into this, and decide to whitelist your CKEY is this is a false sticky flag.

Alright. Thank you for clearing things up.
I do use a VPN on my school computer, so I suppose I decided to try and connect one day while having my VPN on, and I just don't remember.
Thanks, again

Yeah this can take a while to be fully reviewed so please try be patient.

[Sir Lordington]

Everything points to this being a rogue sticky, so it's likely you connected using a VPN and forgot about it. We'll make an exception for your ckey.

Been out of town and busy the past few days but this should be lifted now. If not, forum pm me.
