ok, fair enough, in such case I guess I'll just ban him for a few days and then I'll keep monitoring this. thanks for report.
Dear Administrator,
I appreciate the time and effort you put into maintaining the server, and I hope you can take a moment to review my situation fairly. What happened appears to be a deliberate attempt to frame me, and I’d like to clarify the facts.
Recently, someone joined the server using a name nearly identical to mine - the only difference being a "=" instead of a "-" in the nickname. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but soon after, another player with a long, two-word username (their name was not Walnut) suddenly announced in chat that he had reported me and that I should be banned - without specifying any reason at the time.
You can find this moment when there was a clone on the server with a name similar to mine in the chat - at that time I wrote in the chat something like "it seems I have fan". So you can search server logs for such kind of text and check IP of real offender.
Only later, when I read this topic, did I discover the accusation: pushing teammates into enemy fire. Let me be clear -
this is completely false. While accidental collisions can happen in the heat of battle, I have never intentionally engaged in such behavior. The timing of this report is highly suspicious - immediately following the appearance of a player impersonating me. This strongly suggests a false flag operation, where someone deliberately mimicked my name to fabricate evidence against me.
Even more, I cannot recall any instance where I have played with or interacted with the player Wallnut on this server.
This incident seems connected to ongoing harassment from the clan OfC. Previously, under my old nickname KABA4OK, I endured constant insults from players like -OfC-ace, -OfC-Rohadjmeg and -OfC-imprecise. They openly mocked my skill level, told me "command" to "uninstall the game" and claimed I didn’t belong on a server where "pro players like them" competed. You can check it in server logs. To deter the bullying, I just renamed myself to -OfC-KAKAHA, reasoning they wouldn’t harass someone with their own clan tag. The tactic worked the direct insults stopped. However, it now appears they’ve simply shifted tactics, resorting to impersonation and false reports as a way to retaliate covertly.
I have never directed any hostility toward the OfC clan or its members. The verbal aggression has been entirely one-sided, with their players repeatedly mocking my skill level - boasting about their own perceived superiority while belittling my gameplay. Despite their persistent insults and attempts to humiliate me, I responded only with polite appeals, explaining that harassing less experienced players is unacceptable behavior.
At no point have I engaged in retaliation, toxicity, or unfair play. My conduct has always been sportsmanlike, and I’ve adhered strictly to the server’s rules. Any suggestion otherwise is either a misunderstanding or a deliberate misrepresentation.
While I cannot make definitive claims without concrete evidence, I feel compelled to note that player
imprecise has demonstrated a pattern of hostile behavior toward me - including repeated insults and baseless accusations. Given this history, I find it plausible that they may be involved in these recent deceptive actions.
I understand that moderation is challenging, but banning a player based solely on an unverified report - without video proof, server logs, or even a clear initial explanation of the accusation sets a dangerous precedent. It enables toxic players to weaponize the reporting system, which ultimately harms the community.
I respectfully ask you to reconsider the ban, as it was issued without proper evidence. If necessary, I’m willing to provide any additional information or even record my gameplay to demonstrate my fair play. Additionally, checking server logs for the impersonator’s activity could help verify my account of events.
I trust in your fair judgment as a server administrator. If you determine that maintaining this unjustified ban is appropriate despite the missing evidence, I will respect your decision. In such case, a simple statement from you as the server administrator would suffice - there would be no need for a formal ban as I would voluntarily refrain from accessing your server in the future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
