Invalid Appeal: Atari

Link to your ban or your com block:

Why should you be unbanned or unblocked?:

I decided to play on the Badwater server earlier when I can to an odd message. The message said that I was banned on the server and to check the SourceBans page. I checked the page to find out that I was banned at the exact time that I tried to join the server. I checked my ban ticket, and the reason was thus: "LINKED: New STEAMID from banned IP 38.95.109.69". This didn't make sense to me, and I'm trying to get this resolved.​

Who is your ISP?

 

[Atari]

AT&T... why do you ask?

AT&T... why do you ask?

Have you ever used a VPN before?

 

[Atari]

Yes... Did that cause it?

 

[Atari]

I installed it and ran it and never really used it.... I need to delete it... At this point its taking up space

 

[RMSniper]

Yes. Don't use VPNs, as it's almost guaranteed a hacker has already been on that IP and tainted it. You've been unbanned. I suggest uninstalling it before reconnecting, or else this will happen again.
