ExMachinae

Awesome thanks! I’ll only use my desktop from now on.

[mention]Skull132[/mention] it's not pirated, but an enterprise license. I was thinking because it's a VM that might make the 'hardware' seem similar to other VMs that might have been used by griefers.

It's late and I gave all that one read-over, but I think maybe I have an idea of what's going on. My laptop is a Windows 7 VM on VMWare Fusion running on my MBP. That might explain the hardware changes and similarities to previous banned CIDs? I also play on my desktop at home, which is not the IP listed in my first post. I'm not sure if that counts as a hardware change? I would think the system would allow/take into account people playing on different machines but all I know about it is what I was able to process from Scheveningen's explanation. I understand erring on the side of caution, and I appreciate the quick and detailed responses.

I don't know what you mean? The ban references "cytraladox" which I assume is someone else's key. I was playing yesterday from home, didn't do any of the things in the ban (chucklefucking, griefing, something about "buttsecks and cum" in crayon) when I tried to log in while connected at the library I got that ban message. It seems like an IP ban because my very first time playing SS13 was a couple days ago from the library and couldn't log in to Colonial Marines, got a ban message right away talking about multi-keying. That ban seems to persist once I tried to log in from home. I've been playing on Aurora Station from home only, but today tried to log in from the library and got the ban message. The ban is now persisting at home as well. It's very confusing because I'm brand new to SS13 but can't seem to play on a lot of servers from what I believed was logging in from a public IP. I tried Aurora while I was home over the weekend and started figuring things out and having fun, now I seem to be banned for something someone did in 2015.

Hi, I've played several games from home without issue, but was trying to play on my laptop at the library and got a banned message. This is the IP: [redacted] It says it was supposed to expire in 2015 but apparently didn't. My BYOND key: ExMachinae
