Banned from US 1952?

[Ipurgepeople 106]

My friend and I, along with one other person were banned from US 1952. However, a little while later, I logged back on for about one minute and was in-game and not kicked or anything.

For the record, in case the server admin(s) of that server check here, I just want to inform them that the reason 2 of us were logging on and off repeatedly was to fix the graphical artifact glitches we were receiving. After a couple of attempts it worked! And....then we were banned. :(

It would be my guess that the admin banned us temporarily for some strange reason, but I cannot think of why (If possible a quick message would be lovely before doing such a thing, if we were asked we would have left for a few minutes). Just want to be certain.

If anyone requires more information, please let me know either here, or preferably PM (If you're admin/whatever).

I gave you and your friend both a temporary ban including the reason why. You both insisted on logging in a second time with the same modified files. I would be happy to lift the bans if you can explain this to me..

We didn't get a reason. At least none that either of us saw. It just said "Banned"

I don't know how we managed to get modified files aside form the fact that the game is so damn glitchy the files like to break on their own. I'll try re-verifying my game through steam, but neither of us has done anything to our files so I have no clue.

And plants... I just haven't the slightest idea. I've been recording on your server a lot. I would get you some footage, but I'm having issues uploading to youtube (it's taking 48 hours to upload a 24 minute video, which is just outrageous).

I'll make a small clip of about 4 mins showing what we were up to before the ban. You'll see there's nothing (as far as I can tell) wrong with the plants. Seems to be about the same in every video I watch as well.

EDIT: 4 min video only takes 10 mins, lol. I make no sense in this video. Was a very long day.
