Forgive me, I misunderstood

**Theft 4 Bread** · 02-17-11, 01:15 AM

1. Why do you think you got banned?

Because I reacted poorly to my slaying. I said "lame admin abuse" as I got slain while defusing a bomb. At the time I thought someone took me killing them and winning the round a little hard and slain me to spite me. However, I learned next round that it was for defusing the bomb through a box. I was banned before I could retract my previous statement and apologize for my rash behavior.

2. Information

I was on the Teamplay Gaming CS: S NO AWP/Auto 173.234.33.162:27016 server. These people were online (give or take a few - I took this picture maybe 10 minutes after I got banned).

I play under the name Theft 4 Bread and my steamid is STEAM_0:0:1735528

3. Why should you be unbanned?

I am sorry for calling out admin abuse. I was quick to assume it was abuse when I was slain (all the T's were even dead, so defusing through a box wouldn't have given me any advantage over anyone). I can see how rules are rules and should be enforced so I now agree with my punishment.

4. Statement about not getting re-banned

I will not do anything to get myself banned again. I am usually a cool, calm player who plays well with a team. I don't plan on getting myself banned from one of the only actual team-playing CS servers (seriously, this is the most fun in CS I've had in years).

Hope to play with you guys again soon!

Thank you for taking the time to make an unban request, I am your banning admin. You are correct as to why you were banned.

One of the rules here is that CTs are not allowed to defuse through solid objects. In your case, you were defusing through one of the crates in bombsite A, so I slayed you because that would not have been fair to the Terrorist team to allow the defuse. I then put up an admin warning saying not to defuse the bomb when you can't see it. Realizing my poor word choice, as you are allowed to defuse through physics props, ragdolls and when in smoke, I was about to clarify my warning when you typed "lame admin abuse". So I banned you, as you were questioning an admin's actions in-game and being disrespectful to the admins.

If you ever wish to make a formal admin abuse claim, the correct place to do that is here: Report Admin Abuse . But questioning an admin's actions or claiming abuse in-game is a disruption of the server and will only ever get you a ban.

Since you already acknowledged that you were in the wrong, I will start your unban vote in the admin forums. The vote will last no longer than 3 days. In the meanwhile, do not attempt to join any TPG server. I will post the results here.
