Rangeban - ???

[lolships]

Your Warcraft III username: it doesn't seem to matter
Realm/Gateway: N/A
Why are you banned: "Rangeban" TID 59581
Why you should be unbanned: I don't think this has anything to do with me. I can join some games, such as ent19 Battleships games, but not others, such as ent11 DOTA. When I attempt to join the ent11 games, I am told that I am banned for reason "Rangeban" by "nabo." with a "TID = 59581". I change names regularly with my friends, and it seems clear enough that this has nothing to do with me anyway. My IP has not changed recently as far as I know (same internet provider and all that, I've been playing on same computer at same house), so I do not know what else to say. Please un-rangeban my IP for dota? Thanks!

The last time I played dota was 5-10 days ago, if that matters or is helpful.

Oh, I also went to the "amibanned" portion of the site, and I have no listed bans.

@lolships

What are your previous accounts?
What games do you play?
When was the last time you played?

Answer those questions in full please

You also seem to know alot about rangebans, have you had to deal with a rangeban in the past? Just curious

I do not have a list of my previous accounts, sorry. I usually play 2-3 games on each one, and make a new name, because win or loose, ppl will start stacking as soon as they see you've won/lost.

The games I play are just the two listed, Battleships and Dota, on the ent19 and ent11 bots, respectively. I play more dota though.

The last time I played was 5-10 days ago.

Any games I have played were from this IP, so hopefully that is clear enough. My understanding is that when people are banned they are banned by IP, and so changing names does not cause issues with the system. If there was some complaint about a username who played from my IP, (presumably the one I'm posting this from, unless it has changed recently without my knowing?), then please let me know so that I can address it.

I am sorry if it is an inconvenience to not have a "main" account, or a list of the names I've played on, but as it's been a week or so since I played, I don't recall any of the exact names. Um, well "iEatBananas" comes to mind, or something to that effect. Not sure when that was though. It's usually very late at night and I just make up silly things.

Thank you for your quick reply by the way, you guys are quite helpful!

I have played with lolships many times, on many of his accounts (all of which have silly names, none of which are particularly memorable). I can confirm that he doesn't leave games early or anything like that. He is a bitter, angry, hateful little man who I can only assume has a bad haircut and wears a fannypack (most likely with an airbrushed unicorn painted on it), but it seems a little silly that he is often ranged banned.

May the shining sun light your path to victory!

[lolships]

My unicorn is F***ing marvelous. If only it could explain to me what a rangeban was.

@lolships You've been previously whitelisted, your IP has been changing frequently (current IP you're posting from is different than the one from where you posted before), so i'm gonna whitelist this IP of yours and hopefully it remains like that for a while ...
