Hi @beckers,

We banned you for cheating as we had gathered evidence of you using the TE-5 in a way that we didn't think was legit. You hacked various terminals of which most were level 4+ within 3-5 seconds of each other. For even the most experienced "hackers", this just isn't plausible to do in a legit manner.

Regards,
Alpha

Hey @beckers,

Thanks for taking the time to follow up on this. I have relevant logs regarding the hacking successes.

As you can guess, performing two back to back lvl 5 door faults to get to 079 and then recontaining 079 within a 15 second time frame is beyond improbable. As a heads up, these only get logged if you SUCCEED at the hack, not at the the time of attempting it.

When I reached out to you on the civil networks system for more information on how you could have done that, you responded:
Again, those logs were for successful hacks at the time. At this point after giving you the chance to explain yourself, the ban was issued. I was in full agreement that I also didn't see how it's possible to hack that fast.

Regards,
Eric "Epicap" Cappington

We do have video evidence, however we'd only feel comfortable sharing it with whoever decides to handle this appeal. We'll share it publicly only if asked to by the person handling this appeal.

Appeal Denied

---

Hi @beckers,

Thanks for taking the time to make a ban appeal.

I chose to deny your appeal based on the evidence I was provided. Said evidence was the video mentioned above, which showed you starting and finishing a level 4 hack in ~ 3 seconds. In addition, logs showed that you had hacked 3 level 4 doors in a span of 15 seconds, which is improbable to do manually.

You may re-appeal in 2 weeks​
