Denied Howler's Appeal

Your In Game Nickname:

Howler​

Your Steam ID:

STEAM_0:1:44536890​

Which Server:

East​

Why you should be unbanned:

I think that i should be unbanned because i feel that it was a very unfair ban, and i dont really understand it to be honest, the ban simply stated "spectator hack" and i asked my friend to ask krys (The admin that was on at the time) about why i was banned and he simply stated that i had said "Why is everyone spectating me?" (Which was a joke to get peoples attention because i was battling with the T at the time) and i feel that its unreasonable to ban someone for saying that.
Thank you, Howler.​

Evidence of Innocence:

@Titan had originally contacted me about a hacker on East. When he spectated you he claimed aimbotting.

1:02 AM - Titan: krys
1:02 AM - Titan: problem
1:02 AM - Titan: east
1:02 AM - Titan: hacker named "howler"
1:04 AM - Krys: what type you suspect
1:04 AM - Titan: aimbot
1:04 AM - Titan: I spec'd him
1:04 AM - Titan: His screen was shaking, and he got 5 headshot kills
1:05 AM - Titan: i think he turns it on only during t rounds

At this point I hopped on and checked the logs. This one caught my eye:

You completely dominated that round.

The very next round I started spectating you, and all of a sudden your skill level seems to have dropped. Check the videos:




One of the next rounds was a fun round:

It was here that you clearly stated over the mic, "why is everyone spectating me?".
Here are the witnesses:

During this time I was discussing the basis of how one could know who is spectating them, in the shoutbox. @MangoTango was one of those who gave me input. It basically all let to some sort of hack.

Shortly after the map change to Canyon, I banned you for Spectator Hack, as you have stated. Then your friend Creeper was giving his input in, to which I advised him to leave it for the forums (which is why we're here). @Skyrimmerz has some input here. He uploaded a screen of what Creeper was saying to him via PM I believe, however I could not access his imgur as it was set to private.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from with this. However true or not actually hacking occured, your comment about spectators was very ill timed.

 

Hi Howler.

So what it sounds like to me is, you were using hacks before any admin/staff were online (aHack I suspect) to kill players with headshots etc, then stopped as soon as you noticed an admin was spectating you. This continued for a few rounds, you got frustrated that you were not allowed to hack, and in a moment of oversight asked "why's everyone spectating me" in chat.

Here's the thing: without aHack, no one can tell who's spectating them, and honestly no one would even think of it in the middle of a round.

However, if you have the hack on and notice suddenly that like 7 people are spectating you, it'd naturally lead you to ask something like what you stated.

I personally don't think you should be unbanned, seeing how you pretty much admitted to hacking (saying "it was a joke" now is kinda late).


Also, just in case you wanna keep claiming you don't hack:

Considering you're VAC banned, I find your story hard to buy.

 

The proof against you is seen to find you guilty of hacking.
