Stefanonimo AoS Ban Appeal

Votekicks last only 30 minutes. Did you wait at least 30 minutes to make sure your “ban” is not just a votekick?

Yes, I also got direct confirmation from an admin but they couldn’t tell me the reason.

What was your in-game player name when you were banned?

Which AoS server were you playing on when you got banned? Reminder: We can only help you with bans that took place on aloha.pk servers.

Aloha.pk “tower of babel”

Why were you banned? Lying severely decreases your chances of getting unbanned.

I’m not sure at this point. It could be something related to IP issues since I was playing from a different location, on an older machine and different client. Or it could be related to lag and hit detection. I don’t know for certain, I was connected to a phone hotspot since there’s no internet in this place. I’ve seen people get banned/kicked for chat messages too, but apart from the occasional blasphemy I don’t think that was the reason honestly.

Why do you think you should be unbanned?

I know the first time (roughly a month ago) I was banned for using an hacked client, but I devoted countless hours in the following weeks to practising and getting decent at the game and I’ve not been cheating since. Thank you for your time and effort in keeping up this service.

When were you banned? Best approximate date and time, please.

Hi @Stefanonimo, I’m the admin that banned you in game earlier. It’s a shame to see you having to appeal another ban so soon after your previous ban appeal.

You mentioned in your appeal that you aren’t sure why you were banned, are you certain that you can’t think of any reason I might have banned you?

Hello @DildoSaggins . Yeah, I know it’s not a good look. I actually checked and it’s barely been two weeks. As I previously stated, I’m not certain what the reason was at this time. My hypotheses are the ones up above in the first message, but I’m sure an admin would have a deeper insight on the situation. I should add, as you probably are aware, that I didn’t get accused of anything in chat, so if I was doing anything wrong I suppose it was either an error or called upon privately. I have read numerous other appeals so I know it’s routine practice to ask if I’m really sure there is any other reason for being banned and I currently am.

You’re correct that you weren’t accused of anything in the chat but I was watching you for a while. I’d like to add that joining back on a different IP address (evading your ban) also isn’t a good look, please don’t join any of our servers until we’ve wrapped up your appeal.

The video below contains a handful of clips of your gameplay earlier, I’m hoping it will help jog your memory as to why you might have been banned.

Yeah. That was terrible.
I’m sorry. You got me. I’m not going to deny the validity of this ban any further.

I’m glad we got there in the end, I guess the next question is why should I unban you this time?

Because I really miss everyone here. I like playing on this server, but I can just be so exceptionally stupid sometimes. But I am willing to stop cheating. If you don’t believe me I understand you. But give me one last chance, please.

Although you were dishonest at first the fact that you eventually came around has convinced me that you deserve one last chance. I’m going to change your permaban into a two week ban. Please keep in mind that if you cheat again the chances of you getting unbanned are extremely low.

Let me know when you’ve removed any cheat/hacked clients from your PC (deju vu amirite?) and I’ll update the ban.

Hey, thank you so much. I had removed everything as soon as I started this thread. See you in two weeks then. Will I be able to know the date of expiry? I don’t want to try to connect before it’s time. Thank you again.

Thanks for confirming, your ban now expires Tue Feb 25 01:46:36 2025 UTC.

I look forward to seeing you in-game, please don’t cheat again.
