Immediately banned

[Hetzrr]

Why do I keep getting immediately banned from *some* servers I join?

[Hetzrr]

1. It just says i've been banned. No particular reason.
2. No...
3. Yes...

Are there any servers which you CAN play on?

Seems strange

Yeah its only certain servers, but its enough to be noticeable. Note I haven't tampered with game files at all.

That's VERY strange then. If it was an actual game ban you'd not be able to play on any servers. I'm not sure bud, sorry

Yeah i'm not too sure either, appreciate it though.

Maybe firewall/windows defender being funky with the anticheat.

Maybe you have been banned in one server, and the Server admins decided to share that ban with others? I know, that some admins do that for Post scriptum (atleast they state that in their servermessages)

Yeah check if EAC is working, I'm not sure with HLL but other games have some sort of EAC tool in the game directory

Are you being banned on official servers?

Most of the community server admins share ban lists.

True, you may have been black listed. It is possible that you were banned one server and are now banned on all servers that associate with them. Have you attempted to contact any of the server owners through their discord? They will have your info, however if you are black listed, good luck getting it lifted.

Communities share ban data all the time with one another! Most communities also have a blocklist tool which allows them to pre-ban players based on conduct from other servers. Let me give you an example:

-----

Let's say a player (we'll call him John), decides to excessively teamkill or says something racist on a Community Server (We'll call them Community #1).

Community #1's admins can screenshot their evidence against John, along with his Steam64 ID, and share it with Communities 2, 3, and 4.

Communities 2 and 3 decide that John's actions on Community 1's server ALSO broke their own rules, so they decide to blocklist John, preventing him from causing trouble on their servers too.

Community 4 decides to give John another chance, because he didn't do anything wrong on their server yet.

-----

Now, where does this leave you? Well, I decided to look around and see if there was any screenshots or evidence based on your name/SteamID out there. Sure enough, I found this:

Well that's dumb asf lmao. I was ♥♥♥♥ing around with my buddy that night and we were both being stupid in a locked squad not bothering anyone. Chat macros pick it up regardless I guess.

[Ridcully]
