    Link to your ban, mute, or gag:
    Detailed reason why should you be unbanned or unblocked?:
    So I was just playing on =VG= Harvest as usual, and I was randomly banned for SMAC 0.7.5.2 whatever
    If this is some sort of hack, I can assure you there are many users on the server at the time that this happened that can tell you this is a mistake, I have done nothing but play and be a VERY active member of VG.

    I should be unbanned because this is stupid and a complete misunderstanding, after looking at a few other bans from this reason it seems that this "SMAC" does indeed make mistakes.
    The worst thing I have installed on TF2 is a hitcircle that pings every time I do damage.​

    I can vouch for user, as I play on harvest all the time, and see him playing all the time. I never see anything remotely suspicious. He is an active member of the community there, I have no clue why he would be banned. It must be a mistake

    You were banned for eye test violation which is known as wall hacks.

    I've seen a mistake once for this, but it is very rare for that to happen. I'll let others drop in on this and see if the Founders can look into this further.

    I can get many users to varify that I have no use of hacks or anything in that field of deception, and the fact that anything in that field would even be suspected of me is outrageous, I treat VG as a home server, why would I use wallhacks?

    Well considering that and that being said I assume they will probably unban you and give you another chance. If then you get Smac banned again you will then not be unbanned a second time.

    So I talked with another admin of a different community [ Interrobang ]
    And he says that my type of violation "Eye Test" is likely a detection of the newly implimented "Conga" taunt.
    As I use this taunt quite often this is a very likely possibility, if even.

    Yeah not sure why no one has gotten to this yet. Sorry for the wait, but please be patient as they are pretty busy guys.

    I have went through your past ban record clean bans other then a good amount of racist and derogatory language in other servers. I have however found one other ban for cfg import which usually is scripts I believe. I have checked your chat record on our server(s) since I've noticed your past records on others. Please be aware cursing is allowed in our server(s); however racist language is not just keep that in mind. Otherwise I don't see any issues here. Thanks

    This is why I figured to let you guys step in on this one as I seen there was an issue with the taunt after reading up on it as well, but wasn't sure if it was true on our servers or not.

    Well, he's unbanned now I say let it be because if he is truly using any positive cheats he will get caught by smac again eventually.

    Drac that was my train of thought as well and was unaware we were running a fix already.

    Gotcha has the final call on it. Just thought I would chime in for any future issues along the same lines!

    Thank you all for your kindness and attentiveness on my issue, if this system does in fact glitch or think I am cheating once more I shall not return in kindness.

    There are glitches in all systems. Do you happen to remember exactly what you were doing when the system banned you? Did it ban you immediately when you connected? Were you spinning rapidly and firing?

    I was on top of the red house with the health kit inside of it, I had to spin quickly to kill a scout that was behind me, and conga'd after I blew him up.

    Can you conga again in the server and see if it bans you. Try and replicate what you did if possible.
