I was banned from CT PERMANENTLY for "ban evading"
Order of events (note that I was connected to a VPN throughout all of this. Jester and other people think that this may of been the reason for the autoban.)
1- 14/08/18 <10:45PM>: Banned from CT for '1 day' by admin RetroDawn (I believe). This was because I was messing around on CT, which I was. I was running around the map not really contributing, admittedly, it was a fair ban. I mess around a bit and then leave the server at around 11:15PM.
3- I log out of my 'xyn1st3r' account, and login to my smurf account, 'holy shiiiet' (yeah it's an old account). This was because of a few reasons, but mostly because I have a couple of CSGO items on my smurf which I was going to trade to myself. After doing this, I play some silver elite competitive. I didn't log back into my main because I was competitive banned for 2 days left on a 7 day ban. After losing the game (embarrassingly), I log out of 'holy shiiiet' and head to bed.
2- 15/08/18 <10:45-11:00PM>: I rejoin the server, expecting my ban to have ended. I waited an extra 5 or 10 minutes for joining CT as it was stacked, so I ended up joining at around... 10:55PM?
This is when it happened.
As soon as I click team Counter-Terrorists - ker-sploosh!
'Player 'xyn1st3r' has been permanently CT banned for reason: ban evading.'
'What the fuck!?'
Was my reaction when I realized what had happened. It was unbelievable. I did NOTHING wrong! Player 'Sun Tzu' explained that it was an automatic ban to me and other players. Jester asked me what I did, and I recited the order of events. Player 'sock' asked me if I was connected to a VPN, which might've had an impact. I was connected to X-VPN set to location Singapore, as I always am when online. I don't exactly understand how 'ban evading' works, but I didn't even join the server with my alternate. Admittedly, I contemplated it. But 'holy shiiiet' doesn't have this server saved to favourites, and it was only a 1 day ban, so I cbf and went to bed.
After being banned for 'ban evading', I switched to my holy 'shiiiet account' and joined to see if it had anything to do with it, and ker-sploosh - I got banned again! For ban evading! Again!!! What the hell?
Just can you please check the logs or something? As far as I am concerned, I was banned for no reason. I just hope that this is reverted soon, because it really seems more like a technical error. Did my VPN interfere with the system somehow? I have many witnesses if you want some.
