Why should you be unbanned?
The listed reason for the ban "LINKED: New STEAMID from banned IP". I have no idea what this means and I don't recall ever breaking any rules.

Another note was that sometimes I use a VPN for privacy and maybe forgot to turn it off when playing tf2 so that might be why I connected from a banned IP.

Hello, your alt account was banned for cheating. You connected from the same IP of your main account approximately two weeks after the last connection of your alt account.

We do not reverse cheating bans.

I do not have an alt account. I do sometimes use an VPN for personal privacy reasons so perhaps I connected through an IP that a cheater previously used via that. I have never cheated.

In 2021, your main and alt account (banned for cheating) connected within 3 weeks of each other of the same IP.

In 2022, your main and the same alt account attempted to connect from the same IP (new and different than in 2021) within 6 days of each other.

I checked and both IPs do not appear to be VPN services.

I was also living at an off campus apartment for college in 2021 and 2022. At that apartment complex we were all given the same wifi network so would it be possible that someone else in the building was cheating and I got hit for having the same IP?

Fair enough - I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

You are unbanned.
