Tf2 Bannage

**Demonic Spoon** · 07-10-08, 07:56 PM

Alrighty. I was on the Tf2 main server, on 2Fort. A Heavy (Steelkill) and I were sitting in the intel room since mere sentries got blasted through very quickly. After wiping one group rushing for intel, someone on the other team said "Nice teamwork". I then, obviously jokingly, replied "Teamwork is for noobs, I just do it to pad my K/D ratio".

Afterwards I reminded everyone that what I said was purely sarcasm...I believe I said one other thing, also with a message that it was just sarcasm, before getting banned. I've been on the server for a couple weeks I believe, long enough for anyone whose there regularly to tell, even if my text wasn't clear enough, that it was not serious.

Steam ID is 0:1:11623238

#1. Why do you think you got banned?

Said that I owned the server, apparently the banning admin didn't notice when I said I was screwing around.

#2. What server were you on? What admin do you believe banned you? What admins were there playing?

Main TF2 server, Jason Jinx banned me, dunno if there were other admins

#3. Why should you be unbanned?

Because I consider myself a fairly decent player and I don't see that anyone on the server has ever really had a problem with me, I don't think anything I've ever done has been disruptive in the least.

#4. A written statement that you will refrain from doing anything that will get you banned again.

I got banned for a sarcastic comment that I clarified multiple times...Again, as I said below, I really don't understand what I'm supposed to write here, since I already do everything I can to avoid being disruptive.

Gah, I really hate posting in ban appeals, but I just want to say I heard Demonic Spoon over the sound of enemy rockets as I trailed behind them while spying. He said "by the way, I'm just messin, that was sarcasm" or something along those lines (it was very loud at the moment)

Once again, just wanted to confirm that he said what he claims.

The banter was with [CP]5yewy5r as we had just squashed him in the intel room and he was rather shocked to find us down there working together to protect the flag. This was after about 5-10 minutes of camping the flag room together, (which is a little boring) but which we were keeping up constant chat to make it interesting.

The two of them were throwing comments back and forth in public, mostly just bantering and I think the one that upset the admin was when Demonic Spoon Said "and I am the power on this server" followed immediately by "and that was meant as sarcasm, please don't ban me or anything" or words to that affect. He was banned about 60 seconds later for failure to be a team player and claiming power on the server.

Other players on at the time included:
Ceaza, MAX!, Vilent Potato, Iniquity, {T^E}Sexolution, Vulcan30, MK| Dax, tFHoP.Gumby, Krisple, {T^E} cprice, Juice Springsteen!, -|BIGTEX\- jAsON jInx, -|ReBorn|- RudyTheRocka, addrake, Tyvek, mindcrime, -|BIGTEX|- Zhadox|ZY, BergeLSU, Demosthenes, Shanoby, emPiRe14

Thanks for you time.

I already posted a topic guys.

**Demonic Spoon** · 07-10-08, 08:30 PM

This thread was posted 4 minutes before yours :P

Okay guys - we have your witness statements, lets leave it at that. If the banning admin has further questions he will ask, from this point forward the only people posting in this thread should be Demonicspoon and Admin.

Demonicspoon, check the sticky and complete the remaining items. Your banning admin will be with you shortly.

**Demonic Spoon** · 07-10-08, 08:45 PM

Believe I already answered them all. I posted why I think I was banned, I have no idea who the admins were, I said why I should be unbanned...only thing I didn't post was the written statement, but I don't understand what the hell I'm supposed to say since what got me banned was a sarcastic statement that I clarified multiple times...

**jason_jinx** · 07-10-08, 08:49 PM

I was the banning admin.

Yes, you stated that you made both comments and was just playing around.

Then we asked if that is the way it is.

You replied that you own the server and you are in charge.

Why did you forget to mention this in your ban post?

Reformat your first post to the guidelines in the sticky.

Then after that we will move to the next step.

Yes, you stated that you made both comments and was just playing around.

I already answered the questions but I'll edit it and put it in the format...

And that's not true. I made one of the comments, stated it was sarcasm after you said something on admin chat. Then I said something else, and then said THAT was sarcasm...then about a minute later I got banned.
