My Ban Appeal

[KingTonyBatts]

Your Character or Steam Name: I don't remember it's been years since I've played.

Your SteamID : Yatonokami

Your Discord ID#: kingtonybatts

Reason for ban: Alt Account

Length of ban: perm

 

Hi there, so I decided to try and log into the server after a large amount of time and apparently I'm banned for being a Alt Account. This doesn't make any sense to me as I am not a Alt account of anyone else, nor do I have any other steam account. I would like to get to the bottom of this.

 

Thank you and Best Regards,

KingTonyBatts

Perfect, so in that case why the hell am I banned? If me, a seperate individual played on the server?

Because you replied to my intial question. I then asked you the logic behind my ban to get a outsiders perspective.

Okay so with all that being said, it seems to me that I was unjustly banned from the server on a accusation that this is somehow a alt account, with no accurate and substantial evidence to support this claim other than the fact that I have my brother added on Steam because we are family. Natrually if I did something wrong I would sincerely apologize for my transgression towards the server and the people affected by my actions, but this doesn't seem to be the case here. I would accept a permanent ban if more acceptable evidence was presented, until then I believe this is a unjust action towards me.

Obviously the account that shared your IP tried to join the server while the other account on the same IP was banned causing the console to ban them for alting.

This isn't a unjust or false accusation, you need just need to acknowledge that when someone is banned that another person in the household should not attempt to access the server.

What does this even prove? Literally nothing. Just because you look at creation dates doesn't mean that ties my identity to that account. You need better evidence than that dude.

I gave them the original account and I made a new one because at the time they didn't understand how stuff like that worked. We all shared the same steam account until I created this one, and bought all the games I play with money I worked for.

If you want to get that deep I have multiple family photos with myself and my triplet younger brothers, we all play Garry's mod and RP together sometimes.

Bacon, if you want to prove identities with IP, I can literally show you by joining the server I have a diffent WAN IP than [LEGIT] Waffle, I no longer live at my family's house so this is easily provable for me. At the time of the ban I still lived at home with my family, I've been moved out for multiple years now, I find this to be a weak argument to justify my ban.

 

And to be quite honest what's wrong with 3 people who are related,  who are playing on the same server, in the same house? Is this somehow against the rules in Diverge Networks? My brothers and I have done this on other servers and we have literally never had a problem.

 

I can prove my identity as well as my brothers identities with a group Discord video call if it has to come down to that. Check Disc DMs if you want to go that route to make this easier.

You're missing the point of my reply entirely. I simply explained how the system works and detects.  I have no problem accepting this but you're oddly battling every reply in the thread as if it was some malicious unjust ban done by a human.

Regardless we can agree that my ban wasn't warranted, and is a mistake of the Alt Detection system. Also it seems that this current system you're server is using to detect alt accounts isn't practical for ALL scenarios. With that being said I think we have got to the bottom of this.

system worked exactly as intended and the ban was warranted. if you ask for a dollar, and someone gives you a dollar, your request was fulfilled. the system was coded to stop someone who is currently banned, from joining on another account, using the same ip address.

without breaking garry's mod TOS by writing a 'hwid' and not easily exploitable, this is the simplest way. garry's mod function GetIPAddress is the most identifiable thing that they give developers, unless hey, give us your full legal name, address, hwid, and download this funny exe every time you join the server for server 'security'. doesn't that sound a little crazy?

 

sorry ill stop causing beef, but you are negligent, be happy you're getting unbanned

Please read the rules page and familiarize yourself with them.

 

Your ban appeal has been reviewed and accepted.

The ban will be lifted from your account shortly. If it was deemed an invalid ban, it will also be removed from your record.
