Unbanned Ban Appeal - jim

Your SteamID:

STEAM_ID_STOP_IGNORING_RETVALS​

Detailed reason why should you be unbanned or unblocked?:

I don't no what an eye test is or know how to cheat​

 

I'm inclined to believe jim, because I was also banned for an eye test violation, and I wasn't cheating.

There must have been some kind of update with the Eye Test Violation detectorinos, because there has
been a huge increase of Eye Test Violations starting from May 17. I got a new mouse, went on my
favorite server to test it out on some bots, and got immediately banned. I was wondering why the
Mario Kart server is so dead nowadays, and this must be a huge reason.

In case someone seriously believes every person banned from an Eye Test Violation after May 17 was
because they were actually cheating, and Meepminer has finally been caught after all these years, I
ran a test on one of my Steam friends from the server:

Something is wrong with the server- it bans people seconds after they join. Maybe it will work if one of
the admins hops on, too. I don't know if this problem is fixable or not; it's possible this could be the end
of VG's Mario Kart server. If it is ever fixed, I suggest unbanning everyone who was banned for an Eye
Test Violation after May 17.

 

It seems with the recent TF2 patches, Valve may have made an adjustment that results in these mass bannings for servers using anti-cheat tech. There's some documented cases of this very recently in other communities.

If you don't mind, can you also unban my ip and all accounts associated with it? I can't log in to any accounts because I was banned on another account for using a duplicate account after being banned on my main account by the Eye Test Violation. I had to read that twice too. Glad the problem's gone, though. Woody's the MVP.
