I received today what I believe to be my first ban. Playing here for 8-10 years without ban. I did not see any messaging that was addressed to me. I don't know of any rules I broke. I am at a loss as to why the ban. Am I being confused with another player? Had only been on server 10-15 minutes. Please reconsider.
Thanks

Yes, unfortunately it appears your name was being used by another individual:
https://www.lost-soldi...forum_topic&topic=788.

Most of our admins - with ban privileges - are aware of what is going on here, we are looking into this problematic player that has (ab)used your name. Your ban was issued for ban evasion, because of the similarity with the name of the offender linked above (which is most likely targeting your account name, I am assuming because you are a Colonel, but I cannot say for sure).

Your ban will be lifted as soon as possible, we are very sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you. We hope you will understand that our admins are very dedicated to the game and that what has happened is ultimely bel0w32's fault ... that has purposedly created a new account, faking your true username.

Thank you for letting us know this and hold on tight for the moment.
I hope you will enjoy our servers again after this is all over. Kind regards,

Staff Officer Italy S_h_a_r_k_93

Thank you. This individual has followed and harassed me on other servers. He is very disruptive and tried the same thing on Raging Angels server and was perm banned there. This guy is bad for the game.

Thank you for reporting this, that player is already banned on our server(s) and that is why your ban was issued (erroneously) in the first place ... our admin most likely didn't notice the small difference in the username ('0' instead of 'o') and has banned you for ban avoidance (evading an already-issued ban) ...

As I said we are very sorry for this inconvenience and your ban ought to be lifted soon; we will update this thread when we remove it. Unfortunately removing the ban is not as easy as adding it, as our banlists are synced between all of our servers ... adding stuff is easy but ban-removal is not as straight forward.

This is to say: you may need to wait a couple days for the ban to be lifted; anyways I have already alerted the person in charge of ban removals. smiling Thank you for sticking by!
