Dear War-Lords,
I, Ownage.HN (STEAM_0:0:3304193), was banned permanently by an unknown admin from your 173.231.20.18:27015 CS:S server (#2 Full Rotation) about 15 minutes ago during de_dust. There was no reason given before the ban nor was there a reason given after. I've played in many servers over the years and I wasn't breaking any of the common rules (e.g. racism, spamming, gay porn sprays, etc.)
Even though there was no reason given for the ban, I'm sure this ban wasn't a mistake. The only reason that I would have been banned was for cheating. As you all know, it is virtually impossible to prove that I don't cheat, and it's virtually impossible to prove that I do cheat. There are few exceptions to this, of course. If I was running around faster than possible (speed hacking) killing everyone with headshots (aimbot) within 20 seconds after each round start, I am clearing cheating. However, I wasn't doing this. I wouldn't have lasted more than 2 rounds if this was the case. In fact, I'm pretty sure I lasted 15-20 rounds before my ban.
After being an admin of my own server for a couple of years back when Source first came out, I can easily go into the perspective of most admins of other servers. Since I wasn't doing anything obvious, like my cursor bobbing up and down like I had anti-recoil on, or following people through walls, I am assuming that this particular admin that banned me figured I was "toggling" my wall hacks or being very subtle with them. Before I was banned, some people may have thought that I "knew where everyone was." I am not cheating, so let me tell you all of the ways I figure where people are at.
First of all, I've played cs_dust for thousands of rounds. I can probably recreate the entire map to scale in Hammer. Anyway, I can predict where most people will go. That sounds a little sketchy but you won't understand what I mean unless you play video games a lot.
Secondly, I use my sound wisely. I have a headset. I use surround sound which means I can pretty much pin point where people are at just by sound. I mute people that talk too much, especially while I'm alive. I pay attention to footsteps, bullets hitting the wall, reloads, explosions, fire fights, etc.
Thirdly, I use my radar wisely. If your teammate sees a bad guy, he appears on your radar. I won't go into any more detail.
Lastly, I pay attention to the scoreboard and where the bomb goes down. If there's one person left and I hear footsteps around where I last saw the bomb, I basically know where the last person is at. If I'm covering one bomb site and I didn't see him, I know that he's going to the other bomb site. Basically, I have common sense with reason by deduction.
Ultimately, this post ran a little longer than I expected it to. I made the assumption that I was banned for wall hacking, or cheating of some sort, so please don't use that against me. "e.g. HE ASSUMED WE THOUGHT HE WAS HACKING HE MUST BE GUILTY!!!" Furthermore, you can tell that I'm a pretty experienced gamer with common sense. I hope that even though I can't prove to you that I'm not cheating (and you can't prove that I do, either!), my merit will guide your opinions toward 'not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.'
Thank you for reading!
Best Regards,
OwnageHN
