    What was your in-game name when you got banned?
    ProNo0ob

    When did it happen?
    16.09.2018 19:41

    What's the specified reason?
    Exploiting Map surf_papertown

    Why do you think you should be unbanned?
    For my defense at the time I was surfing and exploiting surf_papertown I didnt realize that I was exploiting the map and I thought of it as a new skip of the map after I watched the surf bot and other surfers do this skip/exploit. But now, after rereading the rules, I see that I clearly violated rule ยง1b.

    But I'm also of the opinion that a permanent ban is too extreme for this behaviour and therefor my ban should be lowered to a temporary ban perhaps directed after the ban process for griefing.

    This was the second time that this teleport got abused which lead to permanent bans for a couple people. As I stated in this other forum post I've blocked off this teleport now which obviously leads to bonus 2 not being possible anymore. I therefore deleted all the records of bonus 2 and removed it's start and endzone entirely.
    I only banned those who had finished it more than 10times (since it was hard to figure out who abused it first) and the very first one could've been by accident. So having more than 10finishes is an indicator for myself knowing that it was definitely not an accident and actively abused.

    Anyways, I'm a fan of 2nd chances and will therefore reduce your ban to 1week. So your ban will expire on 23.09.2018 19:41CEST. Take the time to read through the rules as the next violation of this kind will lead into another permanent ban which won't be lifted. In case you find yourself doing another map way faster then most of our regulars you should question if this is still an allowed route to use. So in this case feel free to report it on the forum, or if there is an admin online ask him before there is another ban being invoked on you. If the admin says it's fine, although it is not(he could be wrong too), then that's totally fine as you had permission to use it. So in that case just claim that you had permission. Just don't lie as we have chatlogs and such. (To all the admins reading this - I won't chop off your heads, it's just to spread some awareness to the players. so don't worry about possibly saying the wrong thing in case of a doubt just ask me or Duchess)

    Last but not least you might want to have a look at this announcement.
    Feel free to join this group as well as you'll be informed whenever new maps come online or announcements like this one are being made.

    Marking this as accepted.
    closing and moving
