I was banned on the 24/7 instant respawn 2Fort server for using the sv_benchmark on accident.
I was looking for the command to force an autobalance (i believe there is a command for that, correct me if i'm wrong) and clicked on the sv_benchmark command by mistake,
Also, the command has been inactive for weeks now, so it would have been extremely stupid if I had tried to crash the server by using it.
That is the only server like that that I get good ping on, so I would like to be unbanned please.
The name on the server is levelup <TWM>

Didn't they fix this before the medic update?

i think the better question here would be....
why did you attempt to even use a command that you know crashes the server and from my own personal experiance, i saw firsthand what that command will do, im the one that notified drunken about it to begin with, it lets you load a server full of damn bots to abuse and cheat on the server mass killing everyone instantly, and thats IF the server doesnt crash from you just putting the command in...
Drunken is merciful and thats probably a plus, but thats just restarted to try to put that command in, then admit to it like its nothing, how are we to know you knew beforehand that the command wasnt going to work?

Auto-balance is called Auto-balance for a reason.
Just a thought...

Curious, why would "sv_benchmark" crash the server? What exactly is the command for?

The command has since been removed from the game. I had a script that would auto ban people trying to use the command before Valve fixed it. I should remove the script.
I will unban you.

Thank you very much.
And in response to the previous poster, I was not trying to crash the server, i was attempting to autobalance the teams.

Just out of curiosity, why the hell would *you* need to force an auto-balance? I was playing at the time (saw the ban and scratched my head) and as usual the teams were even (+/-1).

We were getting killed. they had a base on the bridge, in our sewers, in their sewers, and in their intel. We had one sentry in our intel (mine) and that was it.

Auto-balance only balances the number of players on a team anyway. It doesn't unstack teams.
