Unban Request, Most Likely An Error

[Maximusthe12th 3]

Recently I received an invitation to join Lotus. I did not know of Lotus at the time, and saw that it was a good TF2 community. I joined it, and a few days later, someone name "L | Mana" made an announcement about playing some TF2. At the time, my Steam name was "Maximusthe12th". Because I joined the Lotus community, I changed my name to "L | Max" right before I joined the server. When I tried to join, it said, "Kicked - Trying to impersonate a Lotus member", when I was a Lotus member! I just thought it was an error, so I changed my name back to "Maximusthe12th" and tried to join again. This time it said, "Banned - appeal on the Lotus Forums to get unbanned" (something like that)

I would appreciate it if you could unban me, I really didn't do anything, and I would love to play some Team Fortress 2 with you guys.

Thank you for your time,

Maximusthe12th

Love the avatar though.

But yes. There is a process for becoming a member.

You need to apply to become a recruit and only then can some existing lotus members vote you in to become a member. Putting L-r | or L | will get you banned.

Alright, thanks for the help guys. I had no idea I had to be a Lotus Member first.

My Steam ID is STEAM_0:1:46098820 , hope that helps, and I'll apply to be a member as soon as I can. Once again, thank you all for the help, I appreciate it.

Also, if someone could direct me on where to go and what to do to become a Recruit, or Lotus Member, I would appreciate it. I have no idea where to go, or what to do.

Do what Se7en and the others explained to you, you're only entitled to wear Lotus tags if you were allowed to. I'll have you unbanned shortly.
