[UNBAN] Hirlok

[Hirlok]

looks like some rules are enforced pretty strictly on EU siege servers.

I am an occasional idler ( because I have a real life and I even dare to like a fresh coffee here and there while playing), and do not switch to spectator mode when I expect to be back in less than a minute and the situation is not critical yet. Usually I even announce that to my team and park my char strategically e.g. near the flag, so he is useful (Hirlok dead - ooops, some sneaky enemies at flag)

I got kicked about a week ago from one of the EU siege servers - no problem with that, when stuff takes longer than expected and my char is standing around for too long.

Couple days ago I had parked my char in a good archer position above the flag, because I had to do something urgent (no, not loo, lol) and intended to be there with a full quiver for the final rush. When I came back, I was banned, next day or so the ban was extended to the other EU siege server as well.

As said before: I understand a kick when someone is off for too long, but banning because of two instances of idling is a bit harsh.
Esp. given the fact that other offenses (like systematic teamwounding etc.) are tolerated, as long as they are committed by "regulars".

I am usually on the NA server, but would like to return here and there to the EU sieges as well -   and I am in no way known to be a systematic leecher (not even in my peasant years, I like throwing rocks and doing nonsense at the frontline).

Therefor: unban request. If denied, please state reason.

You were banned by Leiknir for leeching, unban is scheduled today.
Standard punishment for leeching is 1 day ban.

Esp. given the fact that other offenses (like systematic teamwounding etc.) are tolerated, as long as they are committed by "regulars".

This part is false.

thanks for the real time reply! Ban was up for more than 24h, that's why I posted here. No prob.

As for the "false" part: will notify you when I witness it again.

My way of identifying leechers: I see someone in not that expensive gear idling, I check their name, I play the game. When I find them next time after I respawned, I try to communicate with them, give them a (foot-)kick, so if they are playing and just tabbed out to see some chat they get the "omg got to defend myself"-feeling and come back ingame. If not, I see them as leeching. Especially in siege it does not hurt to go spectators to be safe, as you can join the round anytime.


I don't remember your case, as I saw you as ordinary leecher, I just unbanned you now
