Normally, I would keep this kind of thing off the forums and handle it privately with the server involved, but it's gone too far.
On Monday of this week, I'm on the HK-22 CTF server. I had been on for about 5 minutes. I was doing ok, my ratio was like 6-2 (i forget exactly). I had no TK% whatsoever and I hadn't said a word, I was just playing. Suddenly, I'm logged off the server and given the message saying I've been banned for wall-hacking. I have NEVER cheated in a game. I see little fun in winning by cheating. I don't think this was a punkbuster kick, because I was playing for a few minutes before being banned. Also, I was and continue to be able to connect to every other server without problem. So I quickly find HK-22's website and email them a thorough complaint. It's been four days and I've not received a response and I am still banned.
To make matters worse, this is the 2nd time I've been unjustly banned from that server. A few months ago I was playing there on the Jordan map. A bunch of guys on both teams were constanting throwing flame nades into the other teams spawns (i wasn't). One of the HK-22 guys gets on and says that the next person that spawn kills gets banned. So we keep playing and after a few minutes I capture the red team's flag. Since reds were after me, I took the back way that brings you out behind there spawn. Someone had spawn in front of me, so I had little choice but to kill him. If I hadn't, he would have killed me when i ran by. I return the flag and am instantly banned. Like this time, I sent an email to HK-22 explaining the situation and they unbanned me.
Now maybe the person who received my email has been on vacation or something, but it doesn't matter. I'm sick of these power-tripping admins banning on a whim. Even if I'm unbanned from HK-22's server, I won't be returning. There are plenty of other servers that treat players with respect.

Sounds to me like he wanted to share an experience (vent a little) and warn others about this server. What's the big deal? At least his post was about SOF2, unlike most of the off topic, senseless spam [cough..SpoonRaker...cough] that you usually find here. Personally, I think lame power tripping admins and servers need to occasionally be called out in public -- just to keep them honest. |
