			<description><![CDATA[Hi!<br />
<br />
I'm GayBowser, a frequent player of the 24/7 2fort server. Me and my friends Potato King THE OG and Gamin' constantly play on the server, to the point where it's the main way that we play tf2. Well, today my friend Gamin' was doing one of his typical jokes, but due to his bad microphone his voice had a bit too much gain and it sounded like he was micspamming. Despite being a good member of the server who reports hackers and is friends with many other frequenters, he was permbanned with no warning. My other friend Potato King THE OG was subsequently banned for asking the mod to unban Gamin'. Many other people in the server were also on their side, but to no avail. I decided that the only productive way to remedy this situation was to go to the forums as per recommendation.<br />
<br />
Is there any way their ban could be lessened? Possibly a day, or even a week? It's just that this server was the way we still bonded during quarantine, and it's very upsetting that this occured. Thank you for your time <img src="http://forums.sourceop.com/images/smilies/smile.png" alt="Smile" title="Smile" class="smilie smilie_1" /><br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I was banned from the 24/7 2Fort server permanently for griefing and was hoping to appeal it. What I did was try and call a vote to extend the round timer and got kicked which I assumed was a glitch in my game. When I joined back in and wanted to extend the round timer I called another vote for which I was perma banned for griefing. I was unaware that calling the vote was what I was doing in terms of griefing and for that I apologise. I only intended to extend the round timer and if it is considered griefing I will make sure I don't do it again. Once again sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused anyone and I hope to at least decrease the severity of said ban.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello SOP Moderation,<br />
Edit (Added Ban Link): <a href="http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=SOPBans&amp;o=id_details&amp;id=55632" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name...s&amp;id=55632</a><br />
This situation took place in the SourceOP Instant Respawn 2Fort server on 4/10/20 at 2:01 EDT/11:01 PST.<br />
I was rightfully banned for 14 days for the reasoning of "flooding chat" after I unknowingly spammed my "Uber used" bind while playing Medic.<br />
The ban was placed by Administrator 'Butane', which was an appropriate response to my inappropriate use of chat. <br />
I would like to give some clarity and perhaps 'clear the air' if you will, in regards as to why I flooded my team chat in the first place.<br />
While I play Team Fortress 2, I frequent myself in a mixture of community 2Fort servers and competitive matches. For such competitive matches, I use websites/programs such as TF2Center, RGL.GG, FaceIt, etc. As a competitive player, I frequently attempt to void my game of any possible distractions, apparent through my custom folder being full of .vpks that remove certain particles/skins and my config files being full .cfg text-files that reduce the games graphics down to a minimum.<br />
<br />
With my attempts in making the game look as simplistic and "non-distracting" as possible, I took advantage of the "hud_saytext_time" command within my autoexec.cfg in order to have a transparent chat. While the chat is fully functional, it only actually appears upon me selecting the 'y' button, which promptly causes the chat window to open up, where I can type, scroll up/down, etc. Due to my usage of hud_saytext_time being set to 0, while I walk around and play the game, the chat box is not on my screen what so ever. My 'y' key acts as a toggle of sorts; I'm only able to read the chat upon clicking 'y'. This is what caused the mishap.<br />
Due to me using the Vaccinator and having 4 uber charges, a medic 'Uber used' bind, and chat invisible unless manually clicking 'y', I was unknowingly spamming the chat with my idiotic bind. Additionally, it's not as if my 'Uber used' text-chat-bind was short, it was around the length of an entire sentence.<br />
Every time I would pop one of the four available ubers or spam MOUSE 2, I would unknowingly send multiple binds into my team chat. This resulted in a flooding, and a ban, which followed after people asking me to stop and Butane warning me, which I did not at all see.<br />
<br />
People, prior, have expressed to me their frustration with spamming the chat in MVM, in which normally I would simply apologize and the player(s) and I would move on.<br />
This, however, is something I cannot simply apologize to the players for having to endure.<br />
It is completely and utterly my fault. Regardless of my own chat being on/off, it's completely my mess-up. Not only did others ask me to stop, Butane had warned me. I should have known with pure-certainty that I would be spamming the chat with my bind. Additionally, I should have known that disabling chat in the first place in-itself would cause an issue to arise, and now I whole-heatedly know what I did. I genuinely accept the fact that I made this mistake, and I promise I will not flood the chat ever again. Not only have I turned the chat back on by setting hud_saytext_time to its default value of 12, I have shortened my 'Uber used' bind to simply... 'uber used', which is what it should have been before.<br />
I will, 100%, make sure this mistake does not happen again. I will be more attentive to how I treat the chat within not just the SourceOP servers, but in other game servers, and I hope that my genuine admittance to this issue is taken with consideration.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Good morning,<br />
Last night I was banned for 7 days from the 24/7 2fort server for "instigating an admin". Here's how the situation happened as I remember it:<br />
-Someone was capping the intel<br />
-In the chat, someone said not to cap<br />
-Harrylerman said "capping is allowed. Telling others how to play is not."<br />
-Someone else said "crits on cap ruin some gameplay"<br />
-I said "Yes, it's really annoying"<br />
-Harrylerman: "If you have an issue with it, you can take it to the discord server or the forums"<br />
<br />
(At this point I have no clue that harrylerman is an admin. I remembered him in prior sessions earlier in the year where he would act incredibly immaturely by insulting me through chat. So I thought he was trying to impersonate an admin and decided to comment on that.)<br />
<br />
-I say: "Are you a mod? I think not."<br />
-He says "oh ok"<br />
<br />
Annnnd he bans me for 7 days. What?<br />
<br />
So this one comment warrants me being banned for a whole week? No warning, no gag, no kick, nothing. It wasn't a personal attack on him in any form, nor instigation. Just instantly banned.<br />
To provide some context, a few months ago Harrylerman once was trying to cap the intel in a game and I was on the other team. I kept killing him, so he joins spectator and starts saying "ALL YOU DO IS SIT IN SPAWN AND CAMP. THIS IS THE STATE OF TF2 IN 2020," and other comments of that nature. This went on for a few minutes and was really irritating for me, so I was arguing with him in chat until he stopped. Note that he was not an admin at this time.<br />
<br />
So I'm also a bit suspicious that this ban was charged by personal resentment towards me and wanted to get back at me months later, which would explain the severity of the ban.<br />
<br />
Hope I've explained the situation well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello, so i got banned yesterday night on 11-3-19 for "vote scramble abuse" i wasn't aware that doing what i did was a instant 1 week ban. Yesterday, someone was repeatedly spamming extend map votes and they were getting accepted <br />
(we already had a lot of time left) so i decided to put a vote scramble to make them stop accepting the map votes because I've seen multiple times players do this and it worked so i thought it was ok. By the way I've never done this before, I've never called a vote scramble the whole time I've played on the server. I was just getting tired of the extend map votes because i heard that if you keep extending the map time, the server starts to get laggy and the only way to fix it was by a server reset. So i only called for 1 scramble vote, i didn't want it to go through but it did. I'd thought that players would see it and press no because that's what i do when i see someone put up a votes scramble in the middle of others putting up extend map votes. So the teams got scrambled, the map votes stopped also and i started playing regularly until i was questioned by a admin later on.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello, so i got banned yesterday night on 11-3-19 for "vote scramble abuse" i wasn't aware that doing what i did was a instant 1 week ban. Yesterday, someone was repeatedly spamming extend map votes and they were getting accepted <br />
(we already had a lot of time left) so i decided to put a vote scramble to make them stop accepting the map votes because I've seen multiple times players do this and it worked so i thought it was ok. By the way I've never done this before, I've never called a vote scramble the whole time I've played on the server. I was just getting tired of the extend map votes because i heard that if you keep extending the map time, the server starts to get laggy and the only way to fix it was by a server reset. So i only called for 1 scramble vote, i didn't want it to go through but it did. I'd thought that players would see it and press no because that's what i do when i see someone put up a votes scramble in the middle of others putting up extend map votes. So the teams got scrambled, the map votes stopped also and i started playing regularly until i was questioned by a admin later on. I didn't quite explain myself right on why i put that scramble vote, and i was banned from the server. This is why i am typing this to explain myself better than what i said last night to the admin. If what i did was wrong, i am sorry and now i know that was unacceptable and i will never do it again.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[G'night, i was playing in the 2Fort Instant Respawn server and i got banned for a week, I know now that people can cap and do as they choose on the server, it was just the idea of capping on a 24/7 2Fort server seem kind of weird.<br />
But anyway, I came here to appeal the forementioned ban, since now that i have read the rules, I know that i have a warning first and then a week ban, i've never been told a warning before about this.<br />
I love your servers and the effort that you put into them, that's why I've played on this server for 5 days according to my stats, I hope that you can check this out and if possible, help me.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I was playing on 2fort 24/7 instant respawn server, and here is where this starts. People were extending the level, which afaik, doesnt mean anything because its already 24/7 and I've never seen the game actually end when I play on it. So I join in on the meme and call a vote to extend the map and I get kicked. Ok, fair enough but Im kind of annoyed, and when I join back in I start smack talking an admin, who I did not realize was an admin, for about 20 seconds and then decide to just mute him because I really don't like arguments. Then he bans me for two weeks. I can approve of getting banned for a short amount of time because I was, admittedly, being a bit toxic but nothing over the top and definitely not deserving two weeks. According to the site rules it should've been a warning and then a gag and then a ban, but he went straight to two weeks. I see on other posts you're supposed to post a ban report or something but I don't know where to find that. It'd be cool if this could get sorted out because I love relaxing on this server, thanks.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: silver;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: 1pt;" class="mycode_size">- - - Updated - - -</span></span><br />
<br />
Also I believe the admin was gerald or something, if you want to ask directly why he banned me. If I did infringe on some rule I didn't read fair enough, but I think I should be unbanned.]]></description>

where I lost my anal virginity to an administrator on the SourceOP Pro Rotation server.<br />
<br />
I joined the server after coming home from kindergarten. I remember the day vividly because Emily wouldn't share the lincoln logs with me during naptime. We were both allowed to stay awake because we were students of the week. Bitch.<br />
As you can imagine, I was cranky because I hadn't slept at all that day. I just wanted to blow off some steam.<br />
<br />
It started off like any other game. We all sat around tagging the walls, eating sandwiches, and drinking piss or milk or soda or whatever else is in the game that you can drink.<br />
<br />
The horns blasted.<br />
<br />
I didn't leave spawn because I was afk (alt-tabbed to read a stormfront article).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That's when it happened. I tabbed back in and quickly realized everyone had left spawn except me and one other person. <br />
<br />
I don't know if it was the gimp mask I was wearing or what but it doesn't matter because <br />
&#128079; my &#128079; OUTFIT &#128079; doesn't &#128079; give&#128079; you &#128079; permission &#128079; to &#128079; RAPE &#128079; me. &#128079;<br />

I was playing on the TF2 SourceOP 2Fort server and was gagged whilst doing a conga line, got down to the intel and tried to type because someone ruined the conga line and it said I was gagged, about ten seconds later I was permabanned for racism. How could I have said anything racist if I was gagged? In the rules, it also says that a racism ban lasts for a week the first time, as far as I know ive never been banned for racism on the server before. I ask that the ban be lifted and that I am allowed to play on the server.<br />
