LoneWolf-McBanned ?

Greetings Team-SiMPLE Admins,

I had a few minutes today, on a lunch break, to play and it appears I've been LoneWolf-McBanned on all SiMPLE servers since my recent visit. Last time I played my connection was pretty awful, to the point everything was lagging and my ping was so high it came back to double-digits in player screen. At that point I said GGs and called it a day. Maybe I was banned to lag-outs? I think I'd been disconnected a couple times that day too. Other than that I can't imagine anything else that could've been cause for an admin ban. I think I can still figure out how to get a cd hash if that helps... it's been a while though!

Thanks for any effort made on my behalf to look into this, LW.

Re: LoneWolf-McBanned ?

The plot thickens. I recently switched to a new laptop, and thought maybe I'd put in the wrong game key of the two I have, maybe one was still banned from the old days or something. I tried switching it, and they're both banned. I'm guessing I was banned by an individual while I was offline rather than something automated. So it would seem this is a ban appeal and not a lag-kick/autoban thing, maybe? I'll hang tight to see what develops. Thanks.

Hi, cant find you in ban list. By the chance are you using a VPN?

Damn you're fast - thanks Paul Baumer!!

So I'm not sure what happened, but I used the nearly 20-year-old key changer app (run as ADMIN) to re-apply my key and I'm back in. If for some reason I'm not supposed to be on your servers because I'm banned, I'm **NOT** trying to evade!! I'm just really confused. Maybe windows updates cleared the old reg key? That's all I can think of. I'm good to go for now - thanks again!

Re: LoneWolf-McBanned ?

Might be a technical issue on our side as well. Or like you said, key reset after windows update is also frequent. Let us know in case you have troubles joining again. Cheers!
