COD4 Ban Appeal

[Luke101]

This appeal and its replies are in a public forum and can be seen by all.

 

1. What server were you banned from?: XI< MW2 Freezetag 146b9
2. When did you get banned?: 8 years ago
3. What was your in-game name?: TargetAnt
4. What is your game GUID (if known): I have a new GUID.
5. Why do you think you were banned?:

   Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've gotten back into gaming as you all probably know Iam the Luke101 that has been playing on the COD4 server for a few weeks now. I wanted to do the right thing and come forward on here and do a ban appeal as it is still in place on this server and it's the right thing to do. Iam 22 years old, Gamertag was TargetAnt. I was banned for wallhacks etc. I know that when I was a teenager, I was silly and stupid, and I disrespected everyone in XI by cheating witch was not right to XI and their members Iam truly sorry for my action back then. Iam here willing to prove myself to anyone and everyone if Iam able to be given a last chance please. I'm also willing to let someone remote connect to my pc to check everything out if requested for any reasons. As that is the appropriate thing to do due to my history playing in XI. Thank you all for your time.

Luke, while we appreciate your appeal and understand what you are saying here, the issue still stands that you have active pbbans which you need to address directly with pbbans.  You'll need to appeal your bans and show that they've been lifted in order to have us consider allowing you to continue to play on XI servers.  In the meantime, I had to ban your Luke profile as well.  

[Luke101]

I will be happy to do it again. As I have put in about 5 Tickets to even balance due to the bans and never received response for any over the few years...

I was under the impression that pb had disbanded now as nobody uses servers that pb still work on i.e everyone uses cod4x to search for playable servers, personally i hate hackers as i dont know what they get out of cheating other players and themselves when its just a game which we all play for fun and camaraderie.

Myself im a 2nd chance kind of guy but thats not my decision, im just another player and only admin can sanction that.

PBBANS does not lift any global bans and you must contact Even Balance to resolve this. Appeals for Global GUID Bans will be denied.

[Luke101]

I have to appeal at even balance first but when applying, There is no option for the game Call of duty 4 anymore. I have done some research and found that PB does not support Cod4 servers anymore. And will not be dealing with PB bans and that any tickets to them for CoD4 will be closed. What am I meant to do now ?

It's not a Global ban it's an Even balance violation ban. Which means I need to have it lifted at even balance then appeal at PBBans. but nobody at even balance answers tickets from what I have seen from research. I have put a ticket in again. It still has my tickets from years ago that I put in. Is there any way that the XI community can come to an agreement for me to play on your servers again or will I never get the chance to. Keep in mind it was from 9 years ago.

try again? This particular ban needs to be appealed via pbbans.com since it is not a Global Ban. Only through Even Balance if it says Global Ban at the bottom.  https://www.pbbans.com/mbi.php?action=12&guid=87be723a23024cbfc2094fd215c6123f

It was very dumb to get banned with 1 GUID and then come back with 4 more GUIDs. We can see your IP address and your exact location via geolocation. Pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together lol.

 

I do really appreciate your honesty this time and your apology bud. That goes a long way in my book.

 

I still have no idea why someone would want to cheat on an old ass game like COD4 especially on our servers lol. Most of us are a bunch of old farts that just like to have fun with the rest of the old farts. It doesn't matter if you are a good player or an absolutely Horrible player, as long as you are having fun. It is just a game after all. If you can't play just for fun then maybe you shouldn't be playing. Cheating is no fun for anyone especially the other people on the servers.

I have to submit tickets to even balance as stated when trying to appeal on PBBans as I have to use the Link from the tickets to even appeal on PBBans I have submitted 2 tickets to even balance even though it says it doesn't support CoD4 anymore the games not even an option when filling out the ticket. Yes, it was very childish of me to use 2 Guids it was stupid, young dumb mistakes! thank Yous for understanding and respecting my apologies. I'm just not sure if Even Balance will even look at my tickets as there are still ones that were made years ago that never got looked at. witch by the sounds of stuff if they don't get looked at, I'll never be able to play on your servers again....

Hmmmmm strange.

It shows that it is not a Global Ban. Global bans should be appealed to Even Balance. All other bans should be appealed through PBbans if I am understanding it correctly.

I would try appealing through PBbans and see if you get any sort of response. It can't hurt to try again. 

 

[Luke101]

I have been able to Appeal at Pbbans for Both Guids Pending Results

I think you will get no unbanning,,as you have stated they dont deal with cod4 anymore. Unfourtunatley that the way it is. Have you bought a new copy>?

[Luke101]

I do have a new copy but as got said to even be considered back on XI servers I have to get the bans lifted from PB.

[X-RayXI]

Luke101 aka 'TargetAnt', you have posted a request for lifting a ban on our servers in 2018 and got denied. 

@J3st3r does the name:  [KS]Hawkins  ring a bell? I will contact you in a bit. 

 

[Luke101]

Alright so understanding what you are saying since I have been denied once there is no way of being considered back here even if some how I get the PBBans lifted.

[X-RayXI]

See, we like that people are honest, but we fully hate hackers/cheaters, period. To come here and knowingly not telling the full truth, that is something we don't tolerate. 

I came in to see, if we could post a thread of second chances, but digging through our data records, that might not be happening. The fact how many names you use, hiding, knowingly that you are banned.

Our admins do also have a section here, for observing people. You have been mentioned there a couple of times. And not only on our latest refresh of our website [read renewed forums], but also in the past. You have been brought up in 2022. This throws you under the bus, as they say:
"I was banned for wallhacks etc. I know that when I was a teenager".

[Luke101]

Understandable. I get it I did use 2 guide witch was silly I wasn't and didn't be honest at the start of all of it, I know I did stuff up multiple times as growing up it can rule out that side of the subject but I'm here being truthful and respectfully telling my wrongs, I know I stuffed up and I really am sorry for the actions that I made. Tell the truth I didn't get nothing from cheating its stupid and a waste of time I got the under the fact of that playing other games and always ending up dying from a cheater its not right.

[X-RayXI]

To be honest, it is more a "sob story" for our Admins too. They have to fucking waste their time, monitoring the servers. Some players would be leaving the game, because "that guy" is back at it again and not only you. 

To be honest, your record is kind of more than crap. Involving others and going on for 10 years. 

If an Admin is willing to open an Admin thread about this situation, that is fine by me. You threw in your glasses by yourself, and to have eyes on you every single time when you are playing in our house if that happens. 

[J3st3r]

@Luke101 You will need to appeal this ban as well. I forgot that you had 2 active PB bans.

 

https://www.pbbans.com/mbi-view-ban-395317.html

[Luke101]

Understandable, @J3st3r i have appealed for both Already. I did say Iam happy to let any Admin or higher to remote connect to my Pc if need to be when requested to be able to play on your servers again. I was not trying to bring in a sob story and sorry that it come across that way. If there is someone who would be willing to give me another shot, I can guarantee that you will not regret it.

[WldPenguin]

Nothing else can be considered unless your bans are lifted by pbbans, so at this point I am going to close this topic
