    Hello.

    Right now I was banned. I don't know why and would like to get an answer from any mods or someone who could help me resolve this. I will also throw in a picture of my gamewindow. There was a message saying "Chad ...." don't remember the last word. I am confused, but I would be happy to get help.

    Thank you

    Well despite the bad grammar, I know this kid, and I know he wouldn't hack. Please unban him soon.

    i've been hearing that they have implemented a sort of "autoban" system, and maybe there's something wrong with it?

    I was the one who tested it for him, I refreshed it and stuff, still doesn't work. I know jimmy is a loyal guy and would never hack.

    So this just happened to me, first my screen went black and it actually said something like "Connection is Chad" (yes chad)

    Then I tried to reconnect and it now says I am banned.

    I was AFK just before this happened. I came back to let someone out of my house and just before opening my door bam ""Connection is Chad"...

    EDIT: More things that might help diagnose this:
    I am in Ontario, Canada
    My ISP is Bell
    I was not downloading or lagging at the time
    I have never used hacks of any sort ever
    Before I got banned I was afk for around 10 minutes then I was crouch jumping through a window and then Unity/Chrome crashed.
    I play in Chrome normally

    To those who got banned - were you using the 0000000 beta code? If so, I'd say that is more likely the case...

    They probably just rolled out some cheat detection.

    I registred like 2 weeks ago and just followed these directions "when it asks you for a code just type in numbers until it lets you go to the next page." I'm 99% sure I did not just type 0s.

    I'm sure any numbers wouldn't be a valid key. The only valid keys are the one's being given out by the guys from Facepunch themselfs. This might be the reason you're banned, but let's see what other people have to say about it.

    Out of curiosity, how many people who got this kind of ban bought their key? While I don't know if they have a means of tracking them, they could be blocking sold keys.

    I'm just going to assume they added an anti-cheat and it's banning false positives.

    Pretty much, and while the game needs it I think the system is out of whack,

    I was instructioned to type random numbers... I believe it was right on the registration site.

    EDIT: Garry himself told us to use random numbers http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1278486

    This is the same thing I was thinking.

    Garry literally said before to smash numbers into the box until it works. Although that obviously doesn't work for sign-up anymore.

    If that's the case then lets not hope that anyone who 'deserved' a ban will be unbanned too when it gets fixed, for example hackers. :/

    Helk banned you.
    He uses an undercover account to spy us and ban.
    He's Ophidion's fried so you better not kill him or you risk a ban.
    Beware.

    Stop spam posting this in different locations. You were banned for hacking, good job!
    Also, you were hacking more than just our camp. Many others witnessed your hacks.

    Killing Ophidion won't get you banned. Nor will it do anything...

    Honestly if the devs were that immature so that if someone killed them they banned the person, they don't deserve any sort of respect and I'm pretty sure everyone working on this won't blow up and ban people just because they died.

    When I play and get killed I would most definitely not ban anyone, it's part of the game I helped create. The worst that wold happen is I would hunt you down and try and get revenge. I don't normally play with my admin account anyway.

    We will look into any potential false positives tomorrow, thanks for posting.

    I am a shorter version of this in-game- LegitPixel. I am friendly unless threatened!!

    Same to you! I think they are just experimenting with anti-cheat systems. A lot of people were banned that used legitimate keys and weren't hacking. Helk himself said above that he is going to look for false-positives.

    This will all blow over eventually!
    Til' then cya guys!
