I have reviewed the specifics of the situation. Below is a summary of what transpired:
According to our logs, we received multiple reports about your spray. It was indeed found to be unacceptable and in direct violation of our
server rules against pornographic sprays.
You were given a warning via the spray management plugin we use and your spray was removed.
Approximately one minute later, you sprayed it again. It was again removed and you were placed in timeout for 60 seconds. Being placed in timeout has an automatic side effect of displaying a copy of our server rules to explicitly tell you why you were given said timeout. (

Two minutes after your timeout expired, you again used your spray. This resulted in a temporary 1 day ban from our servers.
At this point, starting not 10 minutes later, you proceeded to use multiple alternate accounts to circumvent the ban and continue using the same or similar sprays. Per server rule 7, and our policies, this is grounds for a permanent ban from our servers.
Several days later while investigating an unrelated complaint, you were again found in-game using multiple alternate accounts to circumvent the previous bans.
All things considered, I do not believe you "did not know". I think you knew perfectly well that you were breaking the rules. Per our policies, you were given direct warnings to that extent prior to the ban, and our server rules are posted both here in the forums, as part of our MOTD on entering the servers, and it is also regularly announced in server chat that we have rules and that they can be viewed with a chat trigger. As far as I am concerned we have more than sufficiently attempted to make you aware of them, to the extent that being ignorant of them is not a valid excuse.
I'm not sure how you think bans work as punishment, but circumventing them is not part of the process. We strive to run a clean, enjoyable server for players, and as such there are consequences for rule violations; Deciding you don't like them does not allow you to circumvent them, and the fact you continued to attempt to do so with at least 8 alternate accounts leaves little doubt as to your intentions.
Given the above,
at this time your ban will not be lifted.
