rainbowwarrior 0 #1 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi there, Today I was playing TF2, hadn't played for a while, after some time I was contacted by an admin in a private message that people thought I was hacking. Just because someone knows how to play Pyro properly doesn't mean they are hacking, the ban message was "Possible hacking". I started playing TF2 like 3 years ago and mainly play Pyro and Scout, I actually played it competitively till I moved on to League of Legends. It would really be appreciated if I could get unbanned, the lotus clan servers are like the only servers I play on. steamid: STEAM_0:0:16437976Regards, Scraxxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dr. Obvious 14,606 #2 Posted December 31, 2014 UID [u:1:32875952] There is no existing ban in our ban database, neither is there a removed one. Did you get votebanned, maybe? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbowwarrior 0 #3 Posted December 31, 2014 It showed in the console that I was banned, some Mia guy privated messages me whilst ingame? This is so confusing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerberos 3,170 #4 Posted December 31, 2014 I was the one who banned you. But why isn't your ban there anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minia 1,211 #5 Posted December 31, 2014 Yes I was making private messages to you Scarx but no, I did not ban you. I was reviewing you and recording your gameplay after I was contacted by 2 lotus members of suspicious activity. With the short amount of time I had to view the claims of an auto-airblast I could not be decisive and was going to temporarily ban you and request the thoughts of other admins however before I could mention this to you you left the server and the case was then interrupted by Kerberos whom banned you. He is the one to handle this unban request, I'm afraid I have no further information to share with yourself. If I may ask, why did you leave the server when I asked you to make your steam profile public? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainbowwarrior 0 #6 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi Minia, I have nothing to hide, I tried replying to all your questions but was banned in between. I didn't leave on my own. I am still confused whether I am banned or not. And I find it silly that you guys ban people who simply know how to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerberos 3,170 #7 Posted December 31, 2014 Wait, he left the server? I just want clarity on this; If I had known Minia was there handling it, I would never have gotten involved. Yes I interrupted because I was also called to check it out. I apologise for interrupting, but shit happens. If he left before I banned him, that may explain why the ban didn't stick. But does not explain why he cannot thereafter join... You are not banned according to our database. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dr. Obvious 14,606 #8 Posted December 31, 2014 Okay, that's enough for now. All demos we have about that are being reviewed. I'll lock this topic, and we'll get back on you. Currently reviewing. Thank you for your patience as we investigate this matter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Dr. Obvious 14,606 #9 Posted January 19, 2015 Just to make an official statement on that (already been talking with Scraxxy about it): We can't prove it is a ban, even if it is rather convenient for him. There has been reports of other players showing the same effect. We're trying to find out what causes it. So far, this is an unban - not guilty until proven guilty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
