Appealing a ban

[Markan]

Hi

I appear to be being banned from your servers as a result of you following @BFAntiRacism on Metabans. I have no idea what the root cause of this ban would be as I would not knowingly make any kind of racist comment. @BFAntiRacism has no contact details on Metabans so I can't get in touch with them to get to the bottom of this so I thought I would contact you folks directly.

Oddly the initial ban was issued 22 hours ago at a point where I wasn't in game anywhere; a fact that can be substantiated by examining Battlelog.

I have played on your servers for BF3 and BC2 and I would hate to lose access without understanding the logic behind a ban

Hi Markan79

After reviewing our logs it would appear you were incorrectly banned for Racism as you used a racist word but not in a dergatory context as per chat log below;

Your ban has been lifted and i apologise for any incovienience caused.

I hope you continue to enjoy our servers.

Damn, need to check for such thing. Sorry mate for ban , we had huge ban session. Unfortunately you went in :(

Ahhh ÂÂ*- I even remember typing that :) It further confused me because the ban appeared to be recent and I knew I hadn't said anything that could even be misinterpreted recently.

Thanks for handling it so politely and thoroughly :)
