I know. It's not even about the ban itself anymore for me. It's the fucking pedophilia accusation. The way I remember it like i said a few times by now, is that I flew down an aircraft near debrief whilst the majority of the server was there. Maybe I killed someone and it was seen as actual MRDM. I honestly don't remember the details. I got physgun away and banned within seconds. Like I said, if you truly believe I actually was involved with pedophilia, you would remember at least WHAT happened before you were sure I was actually a pedo? I understand your situation and that you don't play anymore etc. But I am certain your ban descr. / reason was made out of spite.I probably pissed you off a few times before. I got in trouble often but it was usually things that weren't really a big deal. I implore you to try and remember what actually happened and get this fixed

Then surely you must remember exactly why you had to put pedophilia in the ban descr. since it's not everyday you ban a pedo. It's Brufzy and James I played with. That's right. I don't know of any ip logging but thats out of topic.

There are various screenshots / conversations that prove the same person was playing with me at the time in werwolf SWRP, months before the ban. For the sake of their privacy I'm not feeling comfortable sharing those logs in a public post. I am more than ready to share them in dm's if asked by a moderator or the person that banned me, if it'll help his memory.

The image was proven to be real. The original screenshot was very fuzzy. The second one uploaded by Johnn gave me closure.I will edit my post(s) to make it clear it's not forged.

Of course it's not true. I pm'd one of the persons I played with at the time on the server, and he was there when I got banned. I looked up old chats but couldn't find anything that's related with this ban as we used to mainly voicechat. These are his remarks.

Fair enough. Like I said I've never actually seen/heard of cases in pedophilia in gmod. I have over 600 hours logged in this game, and as I stated this is a very serious accusation. But you shouldn't paint me in the same picture with whoever you saw get community banned because he was an actual pedo. If there was hard proof then I would understand it. I would think steam would take fucking action against that but I guess I'm wrong. The only other case I'm familiar with is a person in World of Warcraft and they got alot of flack from the developers resulting in a perma. So thats why I assumed steam would be similar I guess.

So you're saying that an admin can't overreact if they have a bad day, or hold a grudge to someone? I very much doubt that, and I'm not a pedophile, as funny as I think it is that people would actually believe that because of a year old screenshot with no actual proof of pedophilia, I think my steam account would've been flagged if I went on public fucking servers trying to fish up kids. And I've had my steam account since 2013. You're insulting my intelligence.

I tried looking up the ban reason by logging back in to the server a few weeks back, but it's blank and doesn't show the ban reason. If it did, I would've taken a different way to approach the ban. I agree with you pedo's have no place in gmod. But who the hell goes fishing for kids in gmod even I have never heard of that before and I've logged hundreds of hours in this game.

Then it's an overreaction. I don't know what else to say to that other than I got banned for AMRDM and not pedophilia even if it states differently on the ban note.

LOL I don't even know what to say to that. Pedophilia wasn't the reason I got banned. It was AMRDM near debrief after an event if I recall correctly. So either the screenshot is forged *EDIT: Proven real*or the staff that banned me overreacted. This is a very, very serious accusation and if needed I can drag two witnesses that were there at the time to comment to the actual incident and what happened. If the picture isn't foged, and the staff that banned me is still available and/or active on the server I would like to talk to them aswell to know how I got accused/banned cuz of pedophilia.

I don't know how things are now activity wise, but with downtime I mean past a certain time where the vast majority of the players were offline. I'm not really trying to excuse or make my past actions seem less impactive but I'm being honest with you as to how I remember things were / happened.

It was a long time ago. Regardless of how you remember me, I was in CG I think I even got up to LCPL and used VIP Jobs during downtime. I felt actually invested in the server. Even though the ban reason wasn't "minging" I'll say this, the way I remember it is that I goofed around as a droid, but not in a negative way. I respect your view however and I'm just gonna say if I actually did seem like a "incredible minge" to you I do apologize. Disruption was and never is my goal.

My In-Game name: I can't recall STEAMID: *STEAMFINDER DOESNT SHOW STEAM ID FOR ME, User profile link hopefully works too* https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198081005595/ Steam Name: Legion=DC What is the reason for your ban: I don't even remember all the details, but I think I tried landing a stolen aircraft near debrief which was falsely seen as ARDM How long were you banned for: Indefinitely Name of the staff member who banned you: doesn't say Why do I believe that I should be unbanned: Its been a long time and I've put alot of thinking into the incident itself and I think I deserve another chance. Evidence: I have no evidence that I was falsely banned, but I can see how flying a ship NEAR a debrief can be seen as ARDM. Thank you for your time
