Banned for "cheating"

Hi! I was banned from your server (address: 84.217.28.19:27015) at approximately 15:28 (3:28 PM UTC/GMT+1) on the 27th of September, 2018 under the reason "cheater". This is a false accusation and I would like for you to kindly revoke this ban.

I've been a loyal patron of your excellent servers for a number of years and have never been accused of cheating prior to this incident. If I am not fully mistaken, the admin responsible for my ban was [IG] La Onda, and I believe he came to his conclusion as a result of the following incidents: - I displayed abnormal and unconventional behaviour (I generally only say "ok" or "g" in-game) - I was playing fairly well (landed a couple of good headshots here and there) - I threw a flashbang at an enemy I couldn't have seen or heard (by pure random chance) - I knew the location of the last terrorist (due to high volume in my headphones and logic [I was guarding the bomb and knew he would come to me])

The abovementioned reasons are the only factors that could've resulted in this ban, and I personally consider this insufficient proof. I have no intention of ever cheating in this game—not now, nor in the foreseeable future.

I have no demo of this incident, because I don't record anything while playing in public servers. I can only speak to my integrity as an ethical person and refer to my squeaky clean past as a player who has never received bans for cheating. I hope this mistake can be reversed, and I hold no antipathies towards the administration for this occurrence. Mistakes do happen. My nickname in Counter-Strike 1.6 is corpse. My Steam account is in good standing and I have 0 VAC-bans under my belt. I've played Counter-Strike 1.6 on and off since the game was launched (although my old account was stolen). It may be noteworthy that I have been banned from your server once before for no clear reason. Back then the admin who banned me was [IG] LedarN who had a personal feud with me and the ban had nothing to do with cheating. He disliked my behaviour and saw fit to deny my access to the server and I didn't complain about his decision—gladly this ban was abolished later on despite my lack of complaints or any further communication.

Below is the AMXBans ban message (with my IP address expunged).

In conclusion: I was banned for cheating which I am innocent of, and hope I can be unbanned. If my behaviour had something to do with it, I can change that as well if you think it's problematic.

I have nothing but love and respect for you guys for running pretty much the last great CS 1.6 server in Northern Europe, and I'd never jeopardize my ability to partake in the fun. In the words of Richard Nixon: I am not a crook!

I hope this message is enough. Many of you guys are familiar with me and know I've never cheated in your servers. I'm an average player with a penchant for absurdist humor and abstract performance art, so I may be weird, but I'd vow on my corpse I'd never bother to cheat.

Winter is coming...
