I have received an automatic Join Lobby ban due to having called a replacement for myself. The sequence of events is as follows.

1. I called for a replacement using the !rep me function
2. The replacement joins the server
3. I am removed from the server with the reason: “only lobby players may enter this game”
4. An automatic Join Lobby ban has been placed on my profile.


This must be due to a race condition, so besides reporting the issue, I would like to request that the ban in question be removed from my profile as it is incorrectly issued. Per tf2c rules the ban is only to be issued if the player leaves the server prior to a replacement joining.

Thanks for the report; about the falsely given cooldown, no need to worry about that ;-)
