I would like to know just for the record if it's merely a temporary ban for 24 hours, a week or if it's permanent and if so the reason why. I believe I deserve at least that given that I have always practiced fair play and have never cheated on this server or any other. Thanks.
So I've been playing on this server for awhile now and have been in compliance with all of the rules and regulations regarding owning, taking the fun out of the game, c-hop/b-hop being toxic etc. I was at the top of the map for a couple maps in a row but then came what I perceived as an entirely random occurrence clear out of the blue.
It happened while playing de_plaka which as a side note is one of my favorite maps of all time. I happened to get lucky and kill a guy carrying an m249 with the Rambo mode from RTD. Off this alone I was stoked because usually I die in one hit if the opposing team gets any of the superhero rolls from RTD.
So I end up trading the m249 to Beav for an AK-47 when he he kind of half-heartedly joked asking me for it but I didn't want what could be considered an unfair advantage so early in the rounds.
I do recall a round where I was the last man standing at the courtyard bombsite. I walked into the bombsite after checking underneath the awnings which are common camp spots and the ladder room which leads to the balcony. I next checked the balcony from the right side of the bombsite if you approach from T spawn and happened to catch Brain Splatter off guard!
Next few rounds I actually got wrecked by Dav and we had some great exchanges about how I inspired him to be better and laughed about how he killed half my team with around 2 hp. It went on like this for a couple rounds until I started to mount a comeback.
Once again I was the last man standing approaching the courtyard bombsite. I checked the perimeter the same as I did before walking to the right side of the bombsite and I actually expected Brain Splatter to be in or around the ladder room. Lo and behold I look up and he is in almost the exact same spot I found him a few rounds prior I see him, I hesitate thinking maybe we should knife it out.. then I shoot HEADSHOT! INSTANT BAN!
At this point I am feeling the adrenaline coursing through me from the previous fire fight and am both in shock and disbelief because I had not been just owning map after map. I should mention that exact area Brain was hiding is my absolute favorite spot to provide over watch for the courtyard bombsite on de_plaka and as a result I always check it whether I am T or CT.
So to sum it up I was banned for what I can only fathom as suspicion of cheating but anyone who was watching me in spectator mode would see that I was thorough in checking all angles of the bombsite for both of the aforementioned rounds. I feel it's only fair to record a demo of my gameplay before implementing an unwarranted ban in my honest opinion.

I have just been permanently banned from this server for having a very good score on westwood. I have played on this server for years and I know the rules not to have a good score map after map. I was actually really proud of my westwood score I was doing so well (this is very unlike me to have such a good score, hence why I was so happy). Knowing the rules of this server I didnt think this would be a problem because the rules are not to be top map after map. The map before my score was 2 kills and 8 deaths....
I am unsure why I was permanently banned with no warning whatsoever, especially because I am not always at the top of maps and I make sure of this by only buying pistols each round and only using guns I found on the floor.
I am loyal to this server and really enjoy playing here, please re-consider your banning decision.
Amazing server, been playing here for about a month or so now. Nice atmosphere and the people are great.
Unfortunately, I was banned today after being #1 a few maps in a row. I was warned by Smokinggun about the owning map after map rule which I tried my best to abide by when told.
I can honestly say I was surprised because I had just become #1 on my team on de_fastline with a score of 3-1 and was about to kill a guy defusing the bomb and *poof* banned 2080 mins.
I will most definitely be more considerate going forward if given the opportunity to play here again.
I sincerely apologize to both the admin and players on this server as I never meant to ruin the experience for anyone else.
