sown Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Several people have said this is a false negative and i'm wondering if its true. Can people really be banned like this on accident?

spankmier Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) I have no idea, depends why I was banned for a dupe account... Either something screwed up with the script and I gave a false positive or someone is spoofing my Steam account. I'm really hoping it's not the former My only though is that I have started using a VPN recently, perhaps I disconnected/connected during a game and my IP change caused the ban. There'll be info in the server logs that the admins will look at, I'm sure Edited January 9, 2019 by spankmier Additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @Spankmier are you using a VPN by any chance? Also here is the other accounts that come in under the IP you used when you got banned; was - https://steamcommunity.com/id/kingswood__/ Note: It looks like your IP is a VPN? or well a Server Host Company.

spankmier Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks for the reply, Tito. I am indeed using a VPN, I recently started using NORD and it varies whether I'm connected to it while playing depending on if it causes lag/packet loss. I'm experiencing the ban when unconnected though, does the ban apply to the Steam account or to IP? Any chance it can be removed from my Steam ID and left on the duper's account? Cheers!

spankmier Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Hello? Any chance of an unban on my account, or am I screwed because I used a VPN? Edited January 11, 2019 by spankmier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume we both exited our VPN connection at the same node and it triggered the duplicate account detection... I didn't realise that these servers dodn't allow connection from the same IP, given the amount of people who play CS with housemates etc. No idea how to avoid this in future, given eventually I'll forget to disconnect the VPN when I play...

spankmier Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Makes sense, thanks Haru So, how long does this investigation take? I'd love to be able to use KZG servers for warm up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panthA Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 IP registered as VPS, and was playing well before the original ban consistently. No link that I could find between the original banned account and this one. Accepted. spankmier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
