Joined a bwater lobby and went blu solly, leader was blu sniper. Lobby needed about 3 minutes to fill up and shortly after the "ready-up" stage started he banned me from the lobby. Based on http://forums.tf2cen...eam-0057010517/ I request a punishment.

 

Proof that it happened is the chat screen attached. I added him because I found out that he´s italian and it´s been not too long ago when I was banned by a different italian guy so I naturally thought the Mafia had a saying in this~

The banning of players by a lobby leader is not against the rules. He can do with his lobby/server as he wishes, and if he doesn't want you to play in it (for whatever reason), he reserves the right to kick you. Basically, using the "Ban From Lobby" button isn't against the rules.

 

We've reviewed our internal rules recently (following the ban that you linked to in your post) and we have since concluded that using the Ban-From-Lobby feature is not a rule-break. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

As Marty said, the kick/ban tools are for use at the lobby leaders discretion.
