I used a siege shield to get 'outside' of a map on NA 1. I did this because I like to test the boundaries of my favorite games and find neat little glitches that weren't really intended to be there. It's interesting and it adds a lot of replayability to maps that we've all played dozens of times. I don't have any ranged weapons and I don't use these bugs to give me an advantage. It's just harmless fun.
I'm aware that it's still technically against the rules to use siege shields this way, but please take the circumstances into account. I wasn't hurting anyone or infringing on anyone's enjoyment, and nobody complained about me doing this.
By enforcing the strictest possible interpretation of the rules and meting out long bans for harmless things like this you're doing more harm than good. Please consider unbanning me, or at least reducing the length of the ban to something reasonable like 24-48 hours.
