Okay so today I was banned. While I was playing on the no mods TF2 server a friend on Steam told me a command that is supposed to crash a server when you type it in the console. I didn't believe him and thought that Valve wouldn't have a command that would do that. I typed it to see if it would work and apparently it does, since the server banned me right when I typed it. This is my favorite server and have been playing on it for months. I am doing well in the ranks and wish I could be playing on it again. Curiosity got the best of me I guess.

Yes the command will crash servers. I patched my servers so that instead of crashing it will ban the player that ran the command. Why should I unban someone who is interested in crashing my servers?

Well I consulted with Kaylee and she quoted Napoleon and said:
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence."
So I think I will unban you, but keep close watch on you.

But to follow that logic, it was his incompetence that resulted in the server not being crashed, therefore his lack of malice would have been directed at his friend, for failing to crash it in the first place.
By Napoleons logic he attempted to crash the server, only his failure can be attributed to incompetence.
