In game name: SnowStorm_ ban date: Around August 19 2017 ban type: Permanently banned Hello OTaC clan I've been an infrequent player on your server for the past few months (with my level getting reset when i reinstalled cod). I played a couple of games where i reached ~30 kills last Friday (August 18 or so) and then stopped playing. The next time I tried logging in I found out that I was perma banned. May I know the cirumstances regarding the permanent ban and would like to kindly appeal it. Thank you! |

Okay, there are a few reasons for you to possibly be banned: 1. An admin banned you using an external admin tool (no log record, requires admin to make a post in forums to provide justification) 2. An admin banned you using our in-game bot 3. In game bot automatically banned you (such as text chat racist remarks, or aimbot auto-detect) 4. In game bot has a coding error and intended to ban a different player 5. One of three senior people (Bitter, Honda, Mackey) manually added you to the ban list. I reviewed the ban list and there is no notation of why the ban happened ruling out #5 I reviewed the bot log and I see no evidence of #2, #3, or #4 So that leaves #1 I looked in the forums, and I see no posting to justify the ban. So that means there are two possible outcomes: - 1A: An admin did not follow protocol and failed to post in the forums. or - 1B: The server owner Honda believed you were hacking or scoring too high and banned you anonymously to protect the server population. So I can't research #1A, but I can research #1B Here is your last 100 matches (most recent on right in middle graph) http://24.147.101.172/otac/players/100/1 065796807.png You are playing well but not crazy, unless the server population was low. So as far as I am concerned I have performed due diligence in verifying all possible ban reasons and in the absence of any supporting data to justify the ban, I am inclined to lift your ban immediately. So the ban is lifted and you are now free to play. I apologize for the inconvenience but I really have no idea who banned you (and possible unintentionally) or what server hiccup caused this to happen in the first place. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask in here, private PM, or stop by TeamSpeak. Thank you for your patience and I hope to see you on the servers. Stop by TS and say hello if you are so inclined. Best Regards, BitterSpock Last edit by BitterSpock at 2017-08-21 at 4:11 PM (6x Edited) |

I found no evident hack or cussing of the ban that why I did not label the reason and will unban all banned players with no post to give them a second chance any way

Occasionally, some admin (let's call them ... Honda lol ) forget to RELOAD the ban.txt file before editting and saving, so that prior edits are lost. I have re-unbanned you .... Sorry for the fallibility in our system.... Bitter |
