Unban Request

**~~Rueben Cogburn~~** · 03-29-12, 06:19 PM

Hi, not sure why I got banned from both of the CS Source Servers. Was banned while offline, so let me know what I did. I'm sure plenty of people know me and I play alot and always try and play within the server rules.

Thanks!

Ya, that's my old Steam ID. I left my computer and my CS:S to my gay roommates at the dorm and they got me banned during thanksgiving break! $20 later and a pissed off me and I'm playing again. I'm sure you can't find anyone on the CS:S servers that would say I hack... I can barely pull my own weight most times lol.

Can I be unbanned please!?

I think you should go kick the shit out of your roommate. Here's the problem, the account was yours and to protect the integrity of the servers TPG has had the following longstanding rule:

n the event that your account is banned by VAC, Punk Buster, or any other third party software installed on our servers, you will be required to appeal to those developers. Only then, if your ban is lifted you will be granted an appeal and be required to submit an unban request in the banned forums. If you are not able to resolve this issue with those developers, you are to remain banned from all TPG property indefinitely. TPG has zero tolerance for people that choose to cheat.

In the event that you are discovered to have a current, or closely linked VAC or PB ban on your current profile (steamID, player, etc), you will be excommunicated. As a player, you should know that such scarlet letters will affect you, and TPG can not be affiliated with people that have such histories.

If you are found to have been recently banned by VAC or PB, and obtain an ID merely to circumvent the ban, you will be excommunicated.

If you know you have a ban history, your best choice is to approach us FIRST, admit your past transgressions, and move on. This applies to people that were banned LONG ago, essentially in a former life. NOT people banned recently, and most especially NOT people that were banned while affiliated with or on TPG property.

The big picture is about preventing cheating. VAC and PB are not fool proof, but neither are our own admins. And just as if you were to change your name, or come in with another steamID to circumvent a TPG ban, you will be held to the same accountability for VAC and PB bans. Except we elevate such punishments to being a full excommunication. You can not post, play, or participate with anything TPG if you have VAC, PB, or any other official service bans on your record. Period.

Nothing we can do - good luck.
