Link to your ban or your com block:
Why should you be unbanned or unblocked?:
Heyo. I was banned about three and a half years ago, because I connected with an IP that a hacker had used previously.
https://www.skial.com/sourcebans/index.php?p=banlist&searchText=199.193.237.18&Submit=
I assume what happened is my public IP address got changed, and I was unlucky enough to get one that a hacker had previously used. I assume that's what happened, anyway, I don't know much about internet infrastructure. I know that I have a different public IP address now, that one in the link above isn't the one I have today, so I suppose it does change. Anyway, I want to be unbanned because I never did anything, and it looks like whoever "iamawesome55355" is stopped fruitlessly trying to connect long, long ago.​

You know, I can see that other people have been unbanned for the same reason I've given.
/threads/appeal-mundal420.76537/
/threads/unban-request-banned-ip.24262/
(Add skial dot com to the start of those links, the forum wont let me post links for some reason, though I did in the original post so I don't know how that works)
What makes my appeal so different from those?

Well for starters, one of them was from 2012, the other from 2017.

In addition, I cannot answer on behalf of Jerma but when I handle ban appeals, I also do not remove bans on private IP's. Your ban has come from a private IP (I.E. not a proxy or VPN) which means that someone was using your personal internet (either by ethernet or wifi) to cheat on our servers. We hear the "my brother" excuse far too often and so we just don't remove those bans anymore.

Bans which happen on a VPN or Proxy are checked into a bit more to eliminate the chances the ban happened by accident.

Isn't that what those two threads that I linked are about, though? I specifically picked out ones that were issues about IPs that weren't from proxys or VPNs. (I'm fairly sure "private IP" is the wrong nomenclature for that, a private IP is an IP address that is only used on your private network. For example, a lot of routers use 192.168.1.1 as their private IP address. That's why I used the term "public IP", as that's the IP address that's used for public internet activity, but I digress.) I also picked out the one from 2017 as that one was made after I posted my initial ban appeal. I'm in a similar situation as the person from 2017, since my IP has changed since I was initially banned. Like that guy, I could make an alt account and play on Skial servers with it no problem, because my new IP is in no way tied to my banned account in Skial's systems. I would much rather be unbanned on this account though, since it would save me a headache if one of my friends ever wanted to play on a Skial server with me or something.

If you were going to do that then why bother making an appeal? If you use the current steam account that you're banned on with a new IP your account would still be banned and then so would the new IP.

Seems like you're bluffing. If you were going to go through the effort of making an alt and getting a new IP you would have done so.

Also this was answered before here:

Fenix said:
You have been on Skial before, almost 2 hours of playtime: http://stats.skial.com/#player/tf/127041740 with another 12 mins in trade: http://stats.skial.com/#player/tftrade/127041740

If you really don't know why these other accounts are on the same IP as you then you have a network security issue: you've got unauthorized users on your local network.

Since you play on Skial so infrequently it's hard to tell if this is you trying to hack on alts or not, but the bottom line is this IP will most definitely not be unblocked due to the excessive persistence of iamawesome55355, who has made no less than 13 alts beyond his original for a grand total of 14 accounts in attempts to play with cheats. If iamawesome is also the owner of the two gold.friction accounts that would make 16, and if you are the creator of all of these and just trying to pull the wool over our eyes that'd make 17.

tl;dr IP is compromised by a persistent cheater, won't be unblocked, appeal denied.

Bluffing about having a new IP? What a stupid thing to bluff about. I can assure you, I'm not. The old one was 199.193.237.18, my new one has the last two digits changed. If there's any way you want it proven to you, I'll do it. You can see that both of the IPs belong to OregonFast, my ISP, if you do a whois lookup on them. It's not exactly suspicious activity. Yeah, I know it was answered before, I brought it up in the post right above it. I also didn't make an alt account because I assumed ban dodging is frowned upon or something. Hope you're enjoying flagging all my posts as dumb, by the way, though it looks like you do that with most of the ban appeals. In the past, people who have been in this exact same situation have just been told to wait until their IP address changed again, which I successfully did, and now I'm met with heels dug so far in you'd swear that the steel plow has been reinvented.

Whatever excuses you have, you still won't get unbanned.

Yet another appeal with the same reason as mine. This one made in 2019 because Xantam had an issue with the dates on the other two. I hope people eventually realise that permenant IP bans do nothing to stop hackers and will affect more innocent users in the long run.

The ban on the IP will not be lifted and by association the bans on the accounts on the IP will also remain in place.

The one you linked above shows an account banned years before the other. Each case is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, yours was declined as a "risk".

This won't be changing I'm afraid.
