bubbleMONKEY's ban appeal

**bubbleMONKEY** · 09-08-09, 11:23 PM

#1. Why do you think you got banned? Honestly, I have no idea why I got banned. I was told not to bunny hop in the css server by an admin and I stopped. That was on the map de_season. The next map was on de_dust2. Everything was going fine, I was listening to music so I had no sound. An admin told me to follow the team and listen to calls. I followed his request. Later on the map, I kill a guy, might have been an admin, then I get banned with no warning or kick. That's the only information I have.

#2. What server were you on? 72.233.44.146:27017 Texas...Team Players...Top 5 CSS What admin do you believe banned you? No idea, I didn't catch his user id. What admins were there playing? I have no idea. First time playing on the server.

#3. Why should you be unbanned? I was banned with no warning and no kick. How can I correct something I am unaware of.

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

I don't know why I was banned because no admin told me what I was doing wrong in the first place. I will say it was one of my first times playing on this particular server. I played on your other css server last night and I liked it a lot. I like the map selection which a lot of other servers are lacking. I am an admin myself on another server and usually I clearly warn any punks trying to cause trouble. I never ban or kick without warning first. I know sometimes players can get out of control and need discipline but honestly I didn't think anything I was doing was wrong. Maybe there was a rule I didn't know about or something else.

Thanks for posting in the correct format bubble. I was your banning admin.

You were banned for not following the call. As you stated, an admin earlier on the map warned you to follow the call. That admin left, then I came in. I was told to watch you, after being warned for Bhop and following the call. I was specing you, and told the team leader on T's to make the call Long A rush, everyone. Everyone pushed long but you. You sat in mid, got a pick, then started to head towards B. That's when I said in admin chat "You have been warned" and banned you.

Let me be the first to welcome you to Texas TeamPlayers. We strive on team play, using our mics, following strats, and good attitudes. Hopefully this will be a lesson for you on how serious we are here. We do not "have" to give warnings, although normally we do, and in this case, you did recieve.

I will put up a vote for your unbanning. If you have anything else to add, please do so. Also, if you are banned from one server, you are banned from all. If we catch you on another TTP server while you are still banned, you will have more punishment lent your way. Give the vote 3 days for the results.

I completely understand following the calls and everything, but like I said before I had music on and I had no in-game sound. I told that to the admin who warned me a couple of times. That round you are talking about, I know exactly what happened. I buy all my weapons and I'm sitting in t-spawn picking mid. 5 seconds into the round, I see a guy go lower b and I go to the other side of t-spawn where you can see b tunnels and I killed the guy who went tunnels. Then boom! BAN. I was actually going where the team was every round and that round I wasn't going b, I was killing one guy so he wouldn't flank us. Every other round I was going where the team was after I was warned about it.

Always have sound on when you play in our server. If you want to listen to music, then play somewhere else. We make calls for a reason. It makes more since to push the site, get the plant quick, then worry about flankers. That guy goin lower B tuns, all the way around spawn, would of had no time to flank us before the bomb was planted.

Just follow your team, pursue the objective, then worry about who is coming where.

It makes more sense when you use the correct words. I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on the reasons I was banned. By the way, we we're getting flanked almost every round the same exact way. I was still listening to calls and pursuing the sites and planting every round. One round I decide to make a smart move and I get banned for it. Hopefully the admins here can see that I am team orientated player and I would love to get unbanned. I want to play on a server with good maps!!!

Thanks for the english lesson. If you are going to watch the flank, then let your team know. Disagree all you want, but that is our rules. If you constantly watch the flank, and never push with your team, do not be surprised if you are here again.

By vote of admins, your ban has been lifted. You may resume play tomorrow morning.
