This is definitely one of those fringe cases that takes longer because it rides the line between being fair and passing judgement for cheating, and making an exception because of honesty, knowledge, and prior history. If anything, while I agree that you should probably be granted a second shot, you should ideally receive some kind of punishment aside from a little while away from the game.

This being said, I would vote for an accepted appeal on the terms of:

• A revokation of membership should you be a current member (or higher [i.e. veteran])
  • A ban on membership application for a minimum of 6 months
• Confiscation of any ill-obtained loot
  • to be donated or destroyed

Time away will do no one any good, especially with the server rebooting, and I sincerely don't believe you'd mess up again given the chance. I only choose to repeal status as a means to avoid associating CSi with favoritism and being viewed as outside the rules. Hopefully the other admins will agree and see it similarly. 

Appeal was accepted, locking thread.

Unfortunately we have no way to confirm what is your brother and what is you since all we can see are attempted connections from the same place. We cannot make an exclusion for a specific account due to the high volume of attempts to bypass our system. I'll go ahead and deny this application.

Welcome to the club! Application accepted.

Sorry for the delay, I was waiting to watch back a demo file I have saved from when I banned you a year prior but needed an older map file to view it. Unfortunately I still do not have the map required to view it, but it seems as though you decided to make the ban appeal after attempting to evade the ban using another account.

I also vaguely remember you telling me why you were cheating at the time, but your story really doesn't make much sense. I would like to see this video that you're talking about though. Feel free to post it in this thread.

+1 friendly enough :^)

It's been a long time, so I'm open to the idea on the same conditions George put forth. I'm sure most of the admins will agree with that sentiment though, so I guess my two cents on the matter will be focused on mending bridges. I wouldn't mind talking with you over discord and just catching up, and it'll give me a better feel for where you're at with everything.

I'd like @phoon to comment on this and then I think we can decide from that point what direction we want to go from there. 

Further discussion has led to the conclusion that you were still using software to prevent a screengrab. This thread will be re-locked and you may re-appeal in 2 weeks if you want.

Recent conversation with @Xavierhas revealed that occasionally this will happen to users with extremely slow connections. I'll re-open this for now and see if Xavier has an opinion on this specific case.

I went back and looked at the previous appeal, and @Georgewas the banning admin with a screengrab of your cheats.

Honesty does go a long way here, so I'm willing to lift your ban since you waited a few months since your last appeal and came clean about it. Be careful, as there is never a 3rd chance.

Yeah I'll play

You have spammed multiple appeals claiming that you were falsly banned and even started this one off by saying the same thing. In our rules, denied applications must wait a full 2 weeks before applying again. If you feel compelled to appeal again, please wait the appropriate length. Until then, denied.

We appreciate the honesty in your appeal, and I'm sure @Danwould agree to an unban since he was your banning admin.

Locking this thread because you were dishonest on your appeal and have been previously denied with evidence.

Your previous appeal has already been denied for obvious reasons. You have been caught cheating and had evidence posted on your last appeal here: 

Honesty does go a long way, and being upfront about your cheats is enough for me to lift your ban. It's been almost a full month, so I will be unbanning you today. Be aware that there are no 3rd chances, and any future "mistakes" will result with no chance of appeal. 

The room size is fairly small all things considered. Spamming is bound to yield some results, and it's possible this was luckier than usual. Near the end of the video, the corner gets spammed once he's coming down and he even walks towards the door to bait more shots on the other side of the house, which prompts a few bullets on the front wall to get spammed (all missing him). I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt, that room is small enough, and if the second kill wasn't even cali's, then it'd be more likely luck than anything else.

No prior evade attempts, has my +1

You connected from the same IP as all 13 reconnect attempts. They may all be different acounts, but since we cannot confirm or deny you are a different player, the account will stay banned. The best route would be to have the person originally banned make an appeal.

I have nothing against you making another appeal. The main reason I'm denying this one is because you really need to be more patient. Waiting patiently shouldn't be that hard, but you had to post 4 replies in a row in the span of 4 hours (and insulted me in the process). My best suggestion is for you to keep a close eye on your temper and don't take things so personal so quickly.

With this, I will be locking the thread. Feel free to re-apply after 10/7/2020.

Seeing as this is also you, a 3rd evasion attempt puts you in a really tough spot.

You went through 3 accounts and multiple IPs instead of appealing on the first go-round. I'd like to see what that conversation with the staff member looked like and what their input is on this.

Best of luck, appeal denied.

You need to use the template for a proper appeal, but seeing as how both accounts joined from the same IP, I don't believe you. Unless you'd like to try and convince the staff that you're playing at his house, you should probably just try and be honest.

this is your comment edit^

You have no impulse control, and your accusations and assumptions are wrong. You called lucy a salty bitch after teamkilling them with your name, dodged your mute acting like your gf, and you continue to insult the staff because you think we have something against you. Your punishment has been extremely generous from Xavier, with most people being permanently banned with no chance of appeals.

Why do you think you were banned?: I was being an asshole, I talk way too fucking much, and just annoy everyone in CSi. Not everybody hates me though. 

Why should we lift your ban?: I have learned my lesson, this has been an ordeal for me, maybe moreso than it should have been because of the emotional component to me having donated a shit load of money i worked hard for to the server. If I were unmuted I would be friendly in chat and on mic, and use general chat much less, and never start pointless, stupid fights. I'll ignore it even if somebody starts something with me. 

You've made this claim multiple times before, what makes this different? You even came to me personally asking for a ban reduction on your 3 months saying you wouldn't play and you'd be better and friendly, which turned into multiple evasions, insults, a whole dramatic issue for the community, and a huge slap in the face to me personally for considering a reduction. I don't see you changing.

Very straightforward, you came back after 2 years without any evasion attemps and were honest about it. Appeal accepted, hope to see you playing!
