Perm Banned message

I was playing about 1/2 hour ago when I got disconnected and got a 'you have been perm. banned from this game server, admin decision'. I was able to rejoin a minute later and figured it was a bug. About 5 minutes later, got disconected again and get the perm. banned message. Is this a bug or was I really banned by an admin and why?

Not a bug, you're banned for hacking

Oh! Hacking? Really?
What kind of hack exactly?
Any proof? Punkbuster ? Demos?
Maybe you should submit my name to TWL where I'm registered. Or how about report me to the MBL? I'd like to hear from the admin who banned me.

You were banned because I and others were suspect of your playing. So after doing a quick traceroute, found that your IP traces to the same place as a player who is twice on the Punksbusted MBL and continuously comes back to the server using other CD-Keys:

I don't really know you and don't see you on the server much, so I'll leave it up to the other admins/players to make the call on you.

Ok, while you decide away, think about this:

I've been playing on this server for years and lots of the regulars know me. I don't use aliases, just -|SS|-Tal or -|SS|-Talbot. I don't use differnt GUIDS: look up my GUID at TWL or YAWN or whatever. If I had a GUID/IP changer and kept coming back why bother posting here?

The ban was because my IP traces to the same city as the other one you found on the MBL? Do you know how people live in Vancouver? How many thousands of people would be banned if that was all you went by?

Not many considering only about 500 people are playing RTCW these days.

The ban is just a precaution. If any of the regulars can vouch for you, I don't have a problem lifting the ban.

To be honest I've specced talbot quite a lot and I've never seen anything that looked like a hack. He plays like remedy and had the corresponding aim....

[MAN-AT-ARMS]

Unbanned.

Sorry, but can never be too sure.
