Accepted Appeal

[Commander Crapper]

Hello there

I received a permanent ban because I shared an IP of another server not related to wonderland to another person. The person was wanting to find a good strange rank up server & wanted to farm in the server. I offered him an IP of a server I previously had that I don't join anymore. Somehow, that is considered advertising. I also I never knew that until now. And they also, in my opinion, don't make it very clear that advertising can result in an instant permanent ban. (even when sharing an IP with someone else) I never knew of this rule until I checked the rules again, & it said not to advertise servers. But they never specified about sharing IP's with other players, just advertising other servers in general. An example would be saying "Hey dude! Check out this cool server I found! It's got (insert stuff here) & it's called (insert name here)" in the server. Not sharing an IP.

sharing an ip leading to a different server and encouraging others is advertising without permission to us.

That's the thing though. Why is it a permanent ban for a simple accident? That seems a little too harsh, especially because I didn't know the rules.

Asking people to join a different communities server isn't what I'd class as a simple accident. It's not our responsibility to teach you the rules, especially one so simple as to not post an ip to another community - surely this is common sense?

That being said, I've shortened the ban to a week. Any other punishments for this will stay permanent. Thanks for linking your steamid and ban btw.
