Oh, one other idea, just exchange your modem. Say that it keeps restarting at their office, they never check and they will just give you another. 99 percent of the time, this will change your IP since your MAC ID to the router will be different too, then just get a F2P account.

TheFragileHonestly, you'll probably need to go unnoticed with this ban lifting, considering other people who want their bans lifted on different accounts will say "Well, look at this! This Swatt guy got unbanned, why can't I?"

He needs a new ip. staying low does nothing if his ip is still tagged by the system.

It's a long shot, but you could try calling your provider to see if they could move you to a different backbone on their network. I called in a ton of times to Comcast a few years back when my ping went to shit, and they did this for me...with it i noticed i got a new IP address because IRC G-lined me for logging into my account right after i got switched over lol.

this is obviously something that an exception should be made for since you've already served out the previous ban for it but unless kalkin or killing get it undone for you you're probably boned. Out of curiosity are you sure this is actually ip related and not just because your account is tied to caseythecat's account which is presumably still banned. I find it weird that you've retained the same ip address for this long unless you're on university internet.

I'll talk to my dad about doing a small court claim, I can probably rack up the two amounts they owe me, I'll need to do research about it before hand. And I've been wanting to get my network fixed for a while now. My ping constantly jumps up to 500~ and stutters constantly, so this will just give me an excuse to do so. Anyways, I doubt ESEA cares anymore. They still havent replied to my last email re-clarifying how my account being banned wasnt due to irresponsibility, but rather because of a flawed system. They wont admit it though.

They've never thrown out an exception for automated bans, not that I've heard of atleast.

And I'm fairly certain that it's IP related, since there is absolutely no way of them accessing my account as I had reformatted twice since getting banned and I have changed my passwords and associated emails multiple times.

And caseythecat has access to multiple accounts, when one gets banned, they all get banned.
And Canadian internet is horrible if you haven't noticed.

Naw, they can't do shit. I've talked to them before, and despite them doing everything in their power to help me, they're unable to help because ESEA will not let them have full administrative powers. They're limited to rescheduling and helping minor issues, that's about it. They're unable to handle support tickets or unban players.

CEVO is so stupid, apparently extra config files can be considered cheating. You can only edit existing ones that go with the tf2 installation.

Wait, you can't have custom HUDs even, because the files are not found in the tf folder initially? Also, it sucks that you can't use crosshair switchers (I assume that's the case).

Are POV demos required in CEVO? It would get annoying to have to manually start the recording.

Edit: I would have said UGC but... yeah, you get where I'm going with this. No offense to Marxist, he's fine.

It's a cached page from google to a forum thread containing the exact HUD you were talking about and has users posting that it indeed contains an injection. (OP posted a fake virus scan to try and cover it up)

Idk if it's any help to you, but it might give you some more material to work with your ban appeal.

To Nemrawd and Swatt: Try to switch IPs, then wait until you're unbanned and make a new ESEA account. Easiest solution if you're even still willing to play in ESEA. ESEA won't be doing anything about it unless something happens and causes ESEA to lose money or something, like an exodus to other leagues which has a very low chance of happening.

Edit: fixed nemrawd's name, swatt is apparently stupid with names

I'm making accusations again, I'm not 100% sure if the reason I got banned was because of an IP related issue, although, I'm fairly certain it is since I've done two system wipes since I installed the keylogger, and I've done a fair bit of random virus searches. Still, I'm going to contact ESEA and see if I can find additional information about my ban.

The sheer absurdity of this response is unsettling. Although, no surprise. I like ESEA as a league and an idea, but the people who handle support tickets and simple administrative processes are wrongfully rigid. Whether it's the rules' fault or theirs for upholding what seems to be rules written by a first grader, something should change. Dummy got some type of website ban recently for sending a support ticket to ask for an exception to the STEAMID change limit, because his main account suddenly started lagging more in TF2 than his alt, or something similar. They banned him for not reading the rules. They have no idea how to handle extenuating circumstances.

From what I see on the ban list, your ban is set until the 29th of this month. If it doesn't get overturned before it expires, you should see about trying it again once it expires.

there's not much else I can suggest at this point :(

because swatt's issue originated with accidentally downloading a rat, I don't see what is supposed to get ESEA to unban him. They have that "you are responsible for your own security" thing in place, and it seems like any ESEA rep is just gonna point at that whenever someone pleads swatt's case.

Anyways, point is, im sorry.

p.s the letter makes no mention of you helping him, and you never did.
