Hello, so apparently I'm a hacker and I absolutely without a doubt NEEDED a permanent ban straightaway, so I'm here to tell you that you fucked up. Let's get started!

and for good measure, here's my alt that I tried to connect with just for the sake of trying. Even if I wasn't banned on it, I wouldn't use it to login constantly, that's way too much effort on my part, and I don't think I'd last long since your legions of children will just keep calling admins on me and wasting their time trying to figure out how I'm "hacking".

Explanation:
A certain user by the name of Awollex, deciding that having had enough trying to play with players that just so happen to have more hours than him on a video game and thus have more experience playing it, decided to create a ban request on these forums just for the sake of spite and anger, branding me a hacker simply because I was beating him at the game. Here's the thread to that request:
https://wonderland.tf/threads/cheater-on-wonderland-ny-dm-duel-24-7.2100/
Now, while Awollex may have had real suspicions about me being a hacker just because I kept sniping him before he could 2nd scope me, I don't think that there's any real valid reason as to why someone should go out of their way just to get someone banned because they're better than them. By Awollex's logic, you should be banning every single, (non)reputable ESEA player in existence of TF2, and that's not counting the European competitive community. They're all hackers, clearly, because Awollex says so. In fact, you more likely than not have some of these people playing on your other servers, I wouldn't know personally but you guys seem to have a community that's in pretty good shape, so I'm assuming. Not to mention, on that dm_duel server in which this incident happened, an ESEA player by the name of "melon" literally came to, well, duel, so shouldn't he be banned as well just for being good?
Having said that, in my defence, I can see why someone like Awollex has the gall and rashness to simply label someone a hacker just for no reason other than "I think so", but I'd like to think that on the internet, we should all eventually act like adults, even if we aren't, and a part of being an adult is using critical thinking. Here's my take on it:
Here's what Awollex thought I was doing:
Here's what was actually happening:
I know these examples are a bit over exaggerated, since I wasn't "spinning" and I could have been just "silent aiming" (don't csgo people usually do that?), and cause I didn't record any footage for 'lols' to upload to youtube and become a billionaire from it (basically, I'm not a YouTuber), but I hope you get the point. These clips are, essentially, the two perceptions that happened that day, and unfortunately, the wrong one just so happened to act out out of spite and anger, rather than logic and reason.
So, now that you've learned what essentially took place that day, let me tell you why I'm not a hacker. If you look at my TF2 hours (which, admittedly, you can't see, but feel free to add me for confirmation, I'm not gonna unprivate my profile for no reason), I have nearly 5.7k hours in this game. Going on a limb here, I'm gonna guess that Awollex has under 1k hours, and judging by this profile I found on which he has the owner of this community added, that assumption proves to be correct, but feel free to correct me. My point is that this person clearly doesn't have the experience invested in this game to actually make any critical statement on whether someone is hacking or not, so they do it plainly out of frustration that someone just so happens to have invested more than they did. Nothing wrong with that, but it is quite unnecessary for them to have done what they did - like I said, spite, not reason.
Secondly, as witnessed by the two videos I posted above about essentially what took place, you can sort of imagine that this sort of thing happens daily. There are thousands of videos of the 2nd video where some guy who's good enough goes around on pubs and destroys people just for the sake of their reactions and hackusations. It happens a lot, and it shouldn't be a surprise to you that this person was simply one of the latter people who simply raged at the person who was beating them at the game. You could probably even find this happening all the time in your other servers, or practically any other community on this (and other) games.
Third and last point is that the owner himself has 6,000 and yet still managed to find reason to believe this hackusation. You have more hours than me, shouldn't you know better? This isn't an attack on you or your personal play time and what you chose to do with it, I'm just stating that by 6,000 hours, no matter what you did, shouldn't you have more common sense? Just because someone is able to track a stationary object like a sentry gun or a dispenser or, god forbid, a person who is AFK or otherwise is not necessarily moving very effectively, does that really automatically mean that they're hacking? I simply believe that the person who made this decision was too quick to make it. The evidence provided by Awollex is their ASSUMPTION, not their knowledge, they can only GUESS that I'm hacking, not actually effectively point out that I am, in fact, doing it, all because of their inability to comprehend the game well enough (yet). Also, one of your admins earlier, probably early in March or around the time when I first began playing on your server, was forced to come and decide whether I was hacking or not. I do not recall the person's name, but I believe they were a super-admin, if such a thing exists among your staff hierarchy. They said I wasn't hacking despite several people saying otherwise - if they could see past the B.S., why couldn't you?
As I said, this is not a personal attack on Xypher (who banned me), just a simple criticism of your decision making process. It just doesn't add up to me, but please, feel free to explain in detail your decision so that I can, perhaps, try to provide you with more information to prove my innocence.
Thank you for reading.
