I couldn't find any sort of given template for appeal posts, so if I'm doing this wrong I'd like to apologize in advance.

I was banned a long time ago (I didn't even remember how long until I checked the ban) for heavy exploiting.

Back then, there was a newly discovered glitch/exploit where you could run at normal speed while your minigun remained revved up. I had heard about it and was curious, and so I joined the first server I found that had players to test it out.

Unfortunately for me that was a SourceOP server, and I was permabanned for it. (I know the ban says Hell-met banned me, but I was pretty sure it was an automatic, instantaneous ban because it happened the immediate moment I did the exploit.)

I understand that exploiting is a pretty scummy thing to do, and I understand if I would remain banned for it, but I sincerely hope that a ban reversal would be possible.

Thank you for your time.
