Hello,
I was on your server today and came across two people claiming they're admins (Gazellenaire and Atomic Spark, I did not see them in the Admin list, but it hasn't been updated in a while) votebanning random people in a server. When asked why I was being votebanned and if I was breaking any rules, Gazellenaire typed in the chat "Nah" and "We are admins." One of them also said over microphone it was for something along the lines of "Destroying his shit".
Here are the screenshots I've took of them votebanning others and me (I escaped the temporary ban, but others like "Low_Battery" were not so lucky:

Ban Reason: Teleporter Trapping
Date of Ban: June 23 or 24. 11:00 p.m - 12:00 a.m
Ban Length: 6 months
Steam ID: U:1:145429025
Server: Dustbowl #2 Chicago
Admins:
I wanted to type you an appeal to get unbanned and to apologize. What I did was horribly inappropriate, disrespectful, and wildly destructive. While I can't truly know how this feels to you, I can certainly understand that what I did was one of the worst things I could possibly have done to you. This is an especially terrible thing for me to have done to you after I joined your servers. I would try and offer an explanation for what I did, but there are no excuses. My intentions, though good, don't matter here: only my poor choices. I absolutely take responsibility for my selfish actions and how much I wasted your time. I can’t expect your forgiveness, though I certainly hope for it. All I can say is that I truly want things to be okay between us. I want you to feel okay and eventually even happy when you let me back on your servers. I want to earn back the right to play on your servers and to have fun. Hopefully, in the future, we can find a way to move past this. Mistakes were made on that night, and I promise I will change.

I sincerely thank you for reading my appeal

I just got some kind of 'warning' from inverselogic and then banned for 'ping masking'.
What is ping masking? This is the only time I've ever been accused of anything - I am no cheater.
I built this PC this weekend, it's a fresh install of windows 7, a fresh install of steam, and a fresh install of TF2. (I don't even have a custom HUD)
Immediately, my thought was "It must be Turbo Lan" - Earlier today I noticed devices in my device manager lacking drivers, so I just put the driver disc in and did the 'install everything' option. My motherboard is an Asus Z97-AR, and apparently one of the 'tools' (or bloatware, not sure yet) it installs is:
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97AR/HelpDesk_Download/
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/lan/Turbo_LAN_Win7-8-8-1_VER10401.zip?_ga=1.86551576.1441391387.1433885537
From what I've read, this "Turbo Lan" is supposed to prioritize traffic locally, you can select either 'bandwidth' or 'latency' - I assume it's just prioritizing local connections, don't really imagine it would do much under normal circumstances, but maybe if I'm streaming netflix or downloading something while I'm playing it would throttle it to maintain my ping in game. Sounds cool enough. Definitely doesn't sound like anything 'malicious'.
I immediately said "Oh, it must be Turbo Lan" when I was accused of 'ping masking' - because it's the absolute only thing I could think of. Then inverselogic said "Bullshit".
Not "Bullshit" - I'm not a cheater, I don't appreciate being called a liar or having my integrity attacked, and I don't even know for sure that the turbo lan garbage even had anything to do with it - or if he was just salty because I'd been kicking his ass and I have a low ping. I play on this server specifically because it's the lowest pinging server that runs turbine.
I alt-tabbed out, uninstalled turbo lan (It seemed unneccesary to begin with, and the only reason I care about my ping is for playing video games - and if it's getting me flagged as a cheater, what the hell good is it?) - and I reconnected.
I want to know, from a mod or admin's perspective, what is 'ping masking'?
