[Isratosh] Liiiia - ban evasion missunderstanding

[Lil]

BYOND account: liiiia

Ban/note type (Server Ban/Discord Ban/Forum Ban/Note): Server ban

Ban/note duration: Permanent
Ban/note reason: Ban evasion
Time ban was placed: 2025-03-30 11:44:32
Server you were playing on when banned: Manuel
Round ID in which ban was placed: 250742

Why are you making this appeal? (Put an x in the boxes):
(X) - The ban/note is factually incorrect
() - The ban/note is not against the rules
() - The ban/note needs modification
() - The ban was unjustifiably harsh
() - I was permabanned and I want another chance

Why should this appeal be accepted?: I'm not ban evading? I have no context to this, I never spoke with anyone about it, just suddenly saw it when trying to join.

[Isratosh]

hi i have you linked to a few banned accounts including

jimmyhandrix
tyrelis12
kzpanda

let me know if any of those ring a bell

[Lil]

No, I have never seen those names before. Seeing the other guy's ban appeal in this forum for ban evasion too made me realize it probably was because I used a VPN too.

[Isratosh]

then im not going to be able to unban you, im sorry. the vpn is not a problem

[Lil]

I don't understand how I'm linked to these people. I can probably prove that I'm not them somehow. I can join with my several years old discord account and verify it's me.

It looks like there was a thread about one of those accounts viewtopic.php?p=619199&hilit=jimmyhandrix#p619199
I assume the other two accounts are also some of the auto generated grief accounts of this player that was mentioned. According to this linked thread and the fact that I'm bothering to appeal this (unlike the accounts kzpanda and tyrelis12) it wouldn't make any sense for me to be this guy. I still don't know how we are linked but if this guy was spamming out a ton of accounts then my byond account should be dated about 4+ years ago, logically. Even after the friend outed his accounts ckeys, he would just generate new ones. Let alone the fact that he would have enough experience ban evading I'm assuming to not link his newly made accounts to his banned ones, probably. Lastly, according to this guy's history the accounts were used for fast griefing as much as possible before being caught then switching to a different account over and over. I haven't done any grief, nor been anything in control of things to grief. I have been curator and paramedic, mostly curator. No access to make the viruses like in the thread, or alternative stuff like delamming the engine or something. I don't fit his modus operandi.

i agree that these pieces don't line up. our system still has you logged as connecting from the same computer that those accounts did. have you been using anything like a virtual machine, a cracked/pirated version of windows, or software intended to change your byond computer id? any of those may cause this.

have you played on any other servers?

[Lil]

Okay! Finally the forums are back. I reinstalled windows, this time a real version, and hopefully this works now. I tried connecting so you could maybe see if what it says about my connection changed? Or do you need to unban me and I try to join after? Let me know, thank you.

Yeah I've played on other servers but there's a good chance that that dude didn't play/get banned on them so maybe that's why.

[Isratosh]

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Unbanned.
