Woody41 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Hi I got again sticky banned, exactly the same ban as I was reporting here. Thank you! BYOND Key: woody41 Total Ban Length: perma ? Banning staff member's Key: mattatlas Reason of Ban: Ban evasion Reason for Appeal: There is banned account 1fellowtraveler - I never heard about it. I have two accounts nexisi and woody41. I am running this via vmware, I guess I am probably sticky banned. This is a first time trying to connect from this network.
Woody41 Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 Hi, any progress please? Anyway I have another questions. How can I avoid this ban in future? As I mentioned it is second time I got this ban. I am running my Byond in vmware (because I can't run it on linux) and I also travel a lot. Last time I was playing from Europe, then I was in New Zealand and got sticky banned and unbanned after, now I am in Dubai and got the ban again. It is possible that I was connected via VPN, I rarely use NordVPN on a host machine (linux) and it should reroute vmware connection as well. But I don't think so that I was using VPN when playing/running byond in vmware. I guess the problem is some kind of machine ID in vmware? I would be glad for any advice that you can give me to avoid this in future. Thank you!
Melariara Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Hi there. Usually people get hit with a stickyban if they use VPNs or VMs, which is why we discourage the use of them on the server, as you may get caught in someone elses ban, as you've experienced a few times now. That's really the only advice I can give on it. You should be unbanned now, apologies for the delay. Let me know if this doesn't work, I'll leave it open until you can confirm you can connect.
Woody41 Posted March 3 Author Posted March 3 Hi! Appreciate, but unfortunately I am still banned. How does it work? What if I use new vmware image, could it resolve the issue?
Melariara Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Preferably not using a VM or VPN at all, but I understand that's not something applicable to you right now. Try now.
Woody41 Posted March 6 Author Posted March 6 (edited) Sorry, still not working. Am I connecting to correct IP? :D byond://136.243.0.189:1234 Is it possible to whitelist me somehow for any ban? I feel really bad for bothering you with this. (Unfortunately there is no any heavy RP server left, everything is tg light roleplay, I was trying them, but that's not for me. I used to play on Polaris but that seems to be dead now as the last byond update came up) And yeah, sorry, I work only with linux, I gave up all my attempts to work/live with windows... I don't know if it terrible adware or bloatware, even If I run it in VM lol. Edited March 6 by Woody41
Melariara Posted Friday at 10:24 Posted Friday at 10:24 I have tried unbanning you again. If this doesn't work, there is literally nothing else I can do to assist you except to tell you to not use a VM. As it is listed in our rules to not use them. "Use of proxy-servers can result in a ban or may not be supported. Due to the amount of griefers that use proxy servers in an attempt to bypass punishment, connecting via a dedicated proxy server, VPNs, or routing your connection through a dedicated server host, can result in an immediate permanent ban." - General Rules
