Thanks gents, apologies I should have confirmed the process with you guys first.
Aside from the demo you are going to review do you have any info on why he was banned in the first place and then unbanned?.
Not trying to ruffle feathers here but from conversations with some of the admins and players on the server, they think he is hacking but are not willing to act on it as he is friends with another admin, hence why I thought it best to make this post in the first place as there is conflicting views between admins.
Sorry for the awkward questions but am I right in thinking the process to appeal a ban is to make a forum post? Or can an admin overturn a decision another admin has made at their own discretion?
no need to apologise, I am not sure how he got unbanned potentially the admin who banned him did not ban him permanently by accident. Though if he had appealed it, it would of been accepted due to him being banned without any hard evidence which is generally a nono for the admins to do when its not super obvious spinbot sort of hacking and just going on they think they are dodgy.
Genuinely there isnt any issues with bans, but we get odd edge cases like Goncalo where generally we will make a group decision on what should happen to them by who is ever around actively on the forums at the time and get the thoughts on it as some of the admins who aren't to active on the server itself nowadays but are in the upper skill level normally have a good grip on what is legit and not and explain themselves once watching the demo's.
So we can normally come to a conclusion on if the player in question is legit or not and proceed from there, but don't worry once you bring it to the forums attention no favouritism is seen here, majority of the admin are similar to myself and put the rules and roles of an admin before any sort of relationship, so you will get a geniune look at it!
If you have an further question feel free to ask and somebody will try get back to you as soon as!
