Appeal on ban

**jaester** · 11-28-11, 01:47 PM

1. I was banned for an hour but after trying to rejoin the server today, I found out that I was banned permanently. I am not sure why I was banned, but I really think it was my bunnyhopping and not following calls/making calls.

2. The server was CS:S, the map was de_cpl_mill. The admin that banned me was Techn0Kitty. My steam ID: STEAM_0:1:22573673 / Player name: jæster

3. I should be unbanned because although it was completely my fault for not reading TPG rules, I completely and wholly accept responsibility for my actions. I deserve a second chance! I enjoy the time I spent playing on TPG servers because there's less BS and more straight-to-the-point tactics, so less time wasted in the long run.

4. I will refrain from breaking rules, including bunnyhopping and not following calls from this point on, as long as I am connected on a TPG server.

Hello Jaester and welcome to the TPG forums. It's unfortunate that we're getting to 1st hear from you on the forums in the unban section.

You are correct as to why you were banned from the server. You ignored several warnings by another admin to stop bunny hopping and also to follow calls during the rounds. At that point you were banned for one hour then your banning admin requested that your ban be made permanent due to the severity of the infractions.

We take team play very serious here and following calls is a big part of that. If you disagree with any call, you can respectfully ask to take over the calls. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to make calls here at TPG. Further, though bunny hopping has been addressed by the developers of the game it is still considered an exploit and not allowed on TPG property at any time during or after a round.

This was not the best way for us to get to know you here but hopefully it's not what we can come to expect in the future. In order to be unbanned from the server we must 1st have a vote by the CS:s admins. Is there anything further you would like to state to the CS:s admins before I begin you vote?

Thank you for addressing my appeal, xis. This was a harsh consequence for disobedience and quite simply, not reading the MOTD. I understand that bh'ing is an exploit but I do it for fun and did not have the intention to gain an upper hand in the server. Thus, it was against the rules whether I had ill-intent or not and will refrain from bh'ing immediately. As for calls, I will follow them forthwith, to the best of my abilities.

Very well. Thank you for keeping your unban appeal as professional as you have. It really does go a long way when the admin community is voting to unban you.

I will get your vote up. This should take no longer than 3 days but likely sooner to get a result.

Stay tuned to this post and please use the time to check out some of the other games we offer at TPG and maybe get to know some people in the community.

Jaester by a vote of the admin community your ban has been lifted. If you have trouble rejoining the server please send me a PM and we will address ASAP.
