Vouch, why the hell are you banned

No entry for you anywhere on the spreadsheet so idk

This is your entry in the indefinite ban list:

31:
  ips:
  - [REDACTED]
  reason: Causing a mass-panic on the server with a fake exploit.
  users:
  - Waiferu
  uuids:
  - 21273d3e-df55-406a-9da9-77e69f32ddb9

I dug through an export of the entire TotalFreedom Discord looking for your name to find more information, but the only mention of you I ended up seeing was when you joined the hub on August 17 at same time when the hub shenanigans that killed TotalFreedom were happening. What I find strange is that your entry shares an IP address with an entry belonging to maniaplay, a player who was banned for shenanigans they pulled both during the hub situation and even before that with a hoax about Figura that they started.

It is entirely possible that you were caught in the crossfire.

I'm sorry for the confusion but once again i am not maniaplay, ive stated this on quack's server where someone confused me for her. I am a completely separate person from the UK. I do not know why people keep mixing us up, whats even weirder is that we apparently have the same ip's, because someone must have inputted the wrong data as theyre obv different. I believe you are in quack's server i think it was in #server-chat where ppl vouched for me not being maniaplay because i am in fact not maniaplay and its starting to become irritating that i am confused for her and perma banned.

If you're using a VPN, switch to a different one. You're probably using a VPN that matches an IP indefinitely banned and that is why you're unable to join.

Seems to me like this player is on the list and not just banned from their IP

Assuming @Waiferu was using a VPN and maniaplay at all used a VPN (she doesn't, btw), wouldn't the disconnect message have been "Your IP is indefinitely banned!" instead of "Your UUID is indefinitely banned!"?

as much as Id like to give this person the benefit of the doubt, the likelihood that they aren't just maniaplay trying to get back on to TF under a new identity I think is exceedingly remote. OP, if you're not in fact maniaplay then I'd suggest following Alco's advice and changing your IP address by way of a VPN.

Before we hop on this “change your IP” bandwagon have their IPs even been compared or was it just assumed that OP was maniaplay so they were put under maniaplay’s IP? Telling a player to change their IP when it might not even be remotely similar to the IP of another player seems a bit far when facts haven’t even been checked

I genuinely don't think this is maniaplay because Luna would not pull some stupid shit like this

The user appealing their ban does not have the same IP as maniaplay... The indefinite ban is also via UUID, not just IP, as proven by @videogamesm12's reply to this thread.

makes sense I guess

I've unbanned you because honestly, I don't know how you even got on the ban list or even banning you. However, if any information comes to light that would otherwise indicate wrongdoings worthy of an LBR, you'll promptly be re-banned. Other than that, effective immediately, your ban was removed.
