Ban Protest
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 3:04 pm
Hello,
I know I was banned a couple years back, and I believe it was in 2008, though not certain. I was actually using a b-hop script, if I recall correctly, that got me banned. I understand that by cheating you take a chance of being banned. I do feel that, cheating deserves a ban, but having been banned for a few years now, I feel that I have paid my dues. I do apologize for having used something that gave me an advantage, I apologize to the players that I may have offended.
Having said that bit, I noticed that the subforum is called "Protest", so allow me to plead my case. Though gaming can be serious, and is such to many people, it was designed for fun and entertainment purposes. Like all things, it evolved. It went from fun, to competitive, though for some..it just remained fun. I've had my times jotting between the two, but I mainly just play occasionally for fun. Now when you take the chance of cheating, you know there will be consequences, like any other crime. But a permanent ban? Seems a bit drastic to me. Murder will only get you 20 years in prison, depending on variables of course. Even stealing (again dependent on variables) will get you a few days, and perhaps a fine. These are crimes that you go to court for and stand trial. Crimes that are far more atrocious then cheating in a video game. So I ask you, why ban me forever? Games that use KAC, will not last forever, because things evolve. Not everyone has a wallet full of money to just, replace everything on their account for a mistake they have made. I'm not saying do not punish cheaters, but to say that they can't ever play again just does not seem reasonable.
I do hope what I have argued here makes sense, and if I do remain banned, then there is nothing I can do to change that.
