Unban Request

So, I came back to JK after about 6 months of being retired, decided to join KR and was auto-banned. I assume maybe it was because of the name I was using? I was logging in as GoldenGai. I just recently went to Golden Gai in Shinjuku and thought the name sounded neat (since I'm also gay and the word Gai looks a little like the word gay even though pronounced like "guy").

I have to say, if a script is going to auto-ban someone for a name choice, I think that's a little harsh. I can't recall ever breaking the rules on KR and to be banned upon entering the server really made me question why I came back to this game...

I seriously doubt it had anything to do with something you did, more likely that your ip was in a range used by someone else or something similar. Jawfin should be able to clear it up :)

Well I'm not sure it had to do with any sort of range ban either, considering I live in Japan and I doubt there's many players here, though I'm sure there's at least one VPN so maybe my IP is similar enough, I don't know. We'll see.

As you correctly postulated your ISP is well known for hosting dedicated servers so that it flagged your connection as coming through a server. I removed the lock and gave it a cookie and told it to be nice to you from now on.

Much obliged Jawfin. Yeah that's the wonderful thing about national telecom, eh? I once banned an entire city in the UK by accident because of a DoS attack from one of the public lines. xD
