Gone For A Few Days, Return To Be Banned.

[Chopsticks 0]

I'm a regular on Lotus Clan servers as they've always been reliable and their members have always been pretty chill to me so when this ban came up, I was really confused. After talking to DarkClaw, I was told to post my situation here.

I was out with a few friends for two days, coming back home yesterday. I decided that once I got home later that night, I'd go ahead and play some DoD:S and give the new update a shot (which by the way, the Thompson owns). Double click on the Lotus Clan server and I start to play. After a few minutes the player Lethal-r | Canned Fart starts yelling at me that I'm going to be banned. We bicker over the mic for a few minutes, mostly over him turning his mic down because it's so loud. Eventually quite a few people get tired of him so a votekick was turned onto him. He gets kicked, comes back and calls our entire team a bunch of assholes/fags. The player Feralig8ter (may be spelled differently) told me he recorded him attacking me. He left and the night went on as usual. Pleasant game, resulting in my death quite a few times to ghadGaming.

I just turned on DoD:S again and it turns out my SteamID was banned. Seems Lethal-r wasn't kidding. After trying to connect a few more times, thinking it was a fluke, I found that I really was banned. After finding out the best way to handle this situation, I figured I'd confront my little brother as he is the only other person with any interest in PC gaming. After holding him in an armlock for a while and interrogating him, he starts yelling that he was messing around on the server his friends. He didn't think it was such a big deal. It really isn't, I guess but I'd like to at least not to be seen as a jackass by others because I was banned for something I didn't do. I'm more of a TF2 person anyway.

Sounds horrible! Only I don't really believe it. In the meantime... refer to this:

Got a better story?

EDIT: The bans are supposed to be global... you were able to play on our TF2 servers but not the DODS one? Something's off..

I don't need a "better story" as this is the only story I've got. I tried earlier to get onto a TF2 server, guess I'm globally banned which really does bother me now. :\ I figured you'd trust me more as I've spoken to you before and you've invited me to your server quite a bit.

As for your post you referred me to, I don't see my name on any of the first screenshots, I do however see my avatar on the second batch with the name "L| Cuntburger." As I've said before, I've been gone for a few days earlier in the week. I can't really do any more to convince you than the evidence I've already provided.

I mean, really why the hell would I want to get banned from the servers I visit the most? It's not logical.

Post your steam id here and i'll think about unbanning you. But if this happens again... I'll also ban you off all the other non-Lotus servers that I manage .

Sounds fair?

A probation kind of? Yeah, sounds plenty fair.

You've been unbanned.

[Camail 1]

No, I'm saying I've seen canned fart's name appear in a thread somewhere else and he's caused trouble, I'm just saying we might want to pay attention to him. Nothing more.

Still banned at the time of this post.

Which servers? I ran the unban on all of them... maybe it missed some?

[Chopsticks 0]

Some servers are full so I haven't checked them yet. Here are the ones I've checked so far.

24/7 2Fort | Central US

24/7 2Fort | West Coast

2Fort/Dustbowl/Badlands

Stock Maps

Stock Maps #2

By the looks of it, I'm still banned on all of them. Here's a screenshot too. (don't laugh at my stats)

Testing DoD servers next.

[Mana 3,867]

I manually unbanned you.. Hopefully this will work.

I don't want to see people spamming votekick on me over ten times in one night again (regardless of success or failure), so please behave.

Works like a charm now. Thanks very much.
