Please bear with me as this occurred quite some time ago.
Approximately 6 months to a 1 year ago I remember playing on the server as a regular when some in-game event caused me to say something I shouldn't have said.
I said, 'WTH' in chat and was promptly kicked. I immediately rejoined the server without issue and apologized. I kept playing for the remainder of my game session that day.
I attempted to join the server a few days later but wasn't able to. I got this message that said, "Disconnected. You were kicked for swearing too much. This is a clean server."
It didn't seem like the ban message I remembered which was something like, "Kicked" followed by "Reason: etc.."
Confused, I checked SourceBans but could only find really old 1-hour bans from years ago. New games were coming out at the time so I decided to put the issue on hold until now.
In my mind I was thinking this was an erroneous perm ban and would correct itself given enough time if others had this issue and petitioned. However, I am still getting the "Disconnected" message today.
With renewed interest in this classic game, I am seeking clarification on what happened and if applicable, apologize again if this ban wasn't made in error.
I desire the opportunity to rejoin the community. My experience with you guys has always been awesome in this heavily teamwork-based game and I would never want to mess that up.
