Name: Masternoob

SteamID / Profile Link: http://steamcommunit...561198018505112

Explanation for unban:

I have played on Tf2center since it existed, went in mumble giving coms and very rarely leaving a game when it is not finished (very good reliability %). People have sometimes mistaken me for the Tf2center head admin: MasterNoob, and I told them that I was not every time. But today, while playing a highlander game, another admin and Etf2l highlander admin: KKALTUU,  told me to change my name. I was quite stubborn not to change it, but who does it harm if I use the name I always use: Masternoob, if I don't bullshit around pretending to be the admin. Masternoob was the name that I used on Starcraft 2: http://www.wannawar....masternoob.html (wannawar being a tournament site for the game)

I then used it on League of Legends and now on TF2, having more than 200 logs: http://logs.tf/searc...er?s=masternoob

This ban makes me laugh more than anything but it annoys my brother (who plays regularly Tf2center lobbies)  also banned because we have the same IP.
Other than that tf2center is nice, but maybe the admins could be more flexible on some rules.
 
Best regards,
Masternoob

" ...I was quite stubborn not to change it, ... "

 

And this is exactly why you're banned atm.

 

I Explained why you had to change it (since you're impersonating one of the head admins).

You refused it after setting several ultimatums from our end.

Applied the ban according to the guidelines (Warned + non compliance)

IMO this is not ban worthy as he was not trying to impersonate one of the head admins.

1. Admin Masternoob uses the tf2center tag AFAIK

2. The name itself is not very "unique" (nor good ;P)

I have spoken with kKaltuu and stand by his decision to ban as it was completely within the rules as set out in: http://rc.tf2center.com/rules#1_2

 

Having said that however, it seems clear that this particular infraction of the rules didn't have intent to impersonate, but was rather an unfortunate result of the lack of uniqueness in Steam nicknames. As a result, I have overturned this ban, and the mod team will be discussing if a rule change or clarification is appropriate.
