Title: Misunderstanding
Post by: FireEagle on Saturday, November 30, 2013, 21:50:50 PM
Information
Playername: -Fire.[Eagle]
Battletracker: http://battletracker.com/playerstats/aao/147617/-Fire.%5BEagle%5D/
Reason: Autohotkey

Hi ELiZ,

There has been a huge misunderstanding!!

I got surprised when I saw the message that I got banned by using Autohotkey. Then I realized that's a program I installed today because I use it for a browsergame (ArmyDuel.com). You can send me a private message for a more detailed explanation about this game.

I'm one of the active players left on America's Army (public, ladders and tournaments) and it would be sad if I get banned while I never had any advantages facing my oponnents.

And I swear, I never did and I will never use ahk for America's Army. I try to keep up the game with my team to play against other teams. My friends as well as my oponnents can vouch for me.

I'm looking forward to hear from you.

Regards,
Eagle

Problem is, we don't know if you were actively using it with AA or not. To me, using it on other games shows a mentality/attitude that it's ok to use that kind of stuff so why wouldn't you use it in AA?

With that said, I'm not sure how to handle this situation.

That's strange... Cause I think both -Fire.[Eagle] and -Fire.[Rabbit] were playing yesterday... But that's not any of my business I guess

Fire Fanatics is a clan founded by friends from the same town, so nothing weird with that. He is a friend of mine who lives across the street.

And I think the ban of 1 week is too much because I never used and never will use it for America's Army but as long as you can't see what I used it for I have to agree with the 1 week ban.

Exactly. We don't know if you used it in AA or it's been sitting on your computer for years untouched. We see it and take appropriate actions.

Ironically, not long ago we switched from 1-week AHK ban to permanent ban. I really think the 10 honor drop and 1-week is good for minor infractions.
