Unknown Ban

Post by kumakarma »

Hello,

Recently, I've been getting back into Steam games and the link, and my friends wanted to join servers using KAC... Well, I was banned from it, for a reason I am not aware of.

STEAM_0:1:5810783

Edit: My friend sent me the website "SteamCalculator.com" because he was curious about his Steam ID. Naturally, I checked it out and I came up with my Steam ID coming up as "STEAM_0:1:14683496". I checked if that was on the banlist, which it was... I have no idea which Steam ID to use now, so my account was made during April in 2007... Perhaps that would help to determine which Steam ID is actually mine. (I found the original in my steamlogs, hence the confusion as to which is mine.)

KAC ban ID's

The first numbers means:
1 - Name copying
2 - Name hack (unconnected fools)
3 - Failure to validate in time.

4.x - Failure to reply correctly to convar query.
is for when cheat-makers attempt to just block convar queries.
This would be done by causing a reply like Convar_Invalid, etc.
This should never happen on a legit client.

5.x - Failure to match server replicated convar.
is when the convar and the value provided by the client does not match the servers.
This will pretty much just be replicated convars that should, on normal clients, always match the server's copy.
Illegitimate clients (cheaters) will generally either reply with the convars default value
or with the values modified beyond what they should be. (sv_cheats 1, sv_consistency 0, etc.)

6.x - Failure to match plugins convar values list.
is for client convars that don't exist on the server and thus can't be compared.
These generally are cheat convars that, on legit clients, cannot be changed from their default values.

The x is the number representing the convar they failed to match.
In the Source code file you'll notice I added comments after the convar names.
The numbers mean their order and what they would be shown on a ban (x).
The last number is what your interested in.

KAC ban ID numbers:


0 "cl_clock_correction"
1 "cl_leveloverview"

Hello,

Approximately a month ago, I posted a protest in which I have received no response, nor any action to.

This can be found here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=609

My steam ID is STEAM_0:1:14683496 (confirmed since last post)
Please address the issue, as I am still banned from KAC servers and am desiring a reason or removal.

Sincerely,
kumakarma

ps: if posting twice is against the rules I apologize, normally I would have put this in the original thread but it is locked.

KAC ban is valid for cheating. You were banned years ago.

Ban will remain.
