The date of your ban.

Member of the team that banned you.
Unknown

Reason given for your ban.
1.7

The Server you initially were banned on.
Teamspeak

In your own words, please type why you think you were banned.
I was banned for use of VPN on the RPUK teamspeak server.

First of all I would like to start by saying that I did not mean to use VPN while connected to the server.

So, an hour or so before I got banned I felt like buying a new game, the specific game was called "escape from tarkov". to purchae/play the game, you are required to be in Europe.

Since I am from Israel, I had to bypass it by using a vpn. it is worth to mention, that I always use VPN when I am purchasing anything online.

I tried many connections and not all of them worked. until I finally managed to purchase the game https://prnt.sc/nvkitw (I've got some screenshots since I was talking to a friend about buying the game), https://prnt.sc/nwjb6q.

unfortunately, I was not aware that I am connected to RPUK teamspeak while I was using this VPN. therefor I got banned.

Why should we unban you ?
I think I should be unbanned for many reasons.

first of all, my last ban was around 2 years ago if I remember right, and I stayed a good player, didnt break rules and enjoyed playing the server.

secondly, I had no intentions to break rules on teamspeak, I was 100% unaware of being connected and I am truly sorry about it.

this was 100% my mistake and I believe I should be unbanned because we are all humans, and we all make mistakes from time to time.

You weren't banned for connecting with a VPN you were however banned for continuously joining the server with a VPN and getting kicked off. When being kicked off a protocol starts working in which you are also given instructions on what to do from that moment of time. However after being kicked of initially you joined 18 more times after this. How come you still connected 18 more times after being kicked of initially?

@Bobby the Sock

I have no idea since I didnt even try to connect once. for some reason my teamspeak client always reconnects automatically after being kicked or or losing connection. what I believe happened was, since I changed VPN's multiple times, my teamspeak client tried to connect continuously and that resorted in trying to connect 18 more times.

as said before, I had no intentions to do so. I was unaware of being connected to teamspeak nor had any clue that I reconnected so many times.

I am no rule breaker, and I think you should understand me from my point of view, I had no intentions to break these type of rules, or any type of rules, still, I managed to somehow (by mistake of course).

again, just to clarify, I had 0 idea that I am connected to TS and using VPN will keep me reconnecting a whole bunch of times.

Thanks for the response and time, I hope you can come to understanding that I am truly sorry for not being to careful, and I do promise to be careful and pay more attention next time.

have a good day,

Ofek (Bobby)  

 given instructions on what to do from that moment of time. 

@Bobby the Sock

I did not receive any of them since I was not aware of being connected nor know that I am causing trouble.

thanks in advanced

Seeing you have been here for 2 years now and have a completely empty record I'll be giving you the benefit of the doubt! I don't think that anything that you did was done with a malicious intent. Please ensure in the future that if you need to use a VPN that you have teamspeak turned off to prevent these issues from happening in the future! 

In order to unban you however I do require your unique TSID. So if you could please PM this to me in order for me to issue an unban.
