Additional Comments: I've played on these servers when this game first dropped in January and never encountered any issues with the admins, no warnings mutes gags, nothing, the worst I've ever done is play music on a sound board. I recently got back into this game to find that i was banned and after doing some digging i found i was banned before this game even came out (10-25-25)by an unknown admin(

Thank you for your appeal. For the record, your steamID is in the wrong format but your profile resolves to STEAM_0:0:201809703 so I will be using that.

We'll review the details of your appeal and get back to you within 2-3 days.

Hi again,

I've played on these servers when this game first dropped in January and never encountered any issues

Either you are mistaken and didn't play on VaultF4 this January, or sourcebans was somehow not functioning at the time, since you have indeed been permanently banned from our servers since October 2025.

i found i was banned before this game even came out

The VaultF4 bans from the sourcemod TF2C have been carried over to the new steam version, so this ban was from when you were playing on the old version of the game. Hope that clears things up.

After reviewing the details of the ban, you were banned for repeating racial slurs in voice chat (attached is a small clip of a demo from October). Since this is a pretty self-evident breach of rule #3 and you were quite clearly going out of your way to say it during a loud point in the conversation, we do not find the ban to be in error. As such, your appeal is denied and your ban will not be overturned at this time.

Thank you for understanding. Your ban will be eligible for re-appeal 1 year after it was originally issued.
