Nocookiesforu Ban Appeal

[Nocookiesforu]

Your Warcraft III username: Nocookiesforu
Realm/Gateway: uswest
Why are you banned: Dodging, snowyhare (dodging)
Why you should be unbanned: The reason I was banned isn't entirely clear to me. The message I'm given in game is shown above. I assumed dodging is leaving before the game starts, and technically doesn't affect the game (assuming the game won't start without a full lobby). The ban was a bit of a shock when I went to join a game, as I didn't recall leaving any games recently. 'snowyhare' isn't my ign so not sure why its relevant to my ban. I waited a while, figuring dodging would be a temporary ban, and lost interest in WC3 for a while so didn't bother appealing until now. I know to avoid dodging in the future.

EDIT: Looking at the ban request, I see that I did get banned for votekick abuse, which is understandable and I have since not caused any problems. But there is an update for a ban of 1 year for 'dodging', without any other justification. What does dodging mean?

Dodging means you dodged a ban, not dodged a game before it started.

@Nocookiesforu All these 3 usernames: Snowyhare/Arcangel1537/Nocookiesforu used the same IP, so are you sure you don't really know the other 2? You were banned back then for https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40928 , and then you dodged your ban (Played with a different username/IP while being banned). So any comments?

I didn't say I didn't know them. They are my brothers who live in Ontario. I live in BC. We don't have access to each others accounts so they weren't used to dodge. I was visiting them and played some WC3 while there, which is why I would've been on the same IP as them (I don't think I was there when the ban was in place). But I can assure you I respected the 1 day ban and can guarantee I will not dodge in the future.

EDIT: I just realized they were banned for ghosting, and that may have been around the time I was visiting. But I didn't even consider that it would look like I was dodging if I logged in at their house. My IP is in BC and theirs is in Ontario so that should be some evidence to support my claim.

@Nocookiesforu Problem is: It was most likely during that time when you visited them, that you were banned along side with your brothers, since all of you used the same IP and therefore none of you should have played after the bans, yet you did play and therefore all 3 of you were banned for dodging (+ you were initially banned as well on 5th/October( https://entgaming.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40928 ).

Dodging means you're still playing after being banned on your main account (different username/IP), So next time you get banned for whatever the reason is, post a ban appeal just like you did this time, deal?

@Gaara How am I supposed to know if I'm banned? Should it not restrict me from playing? Otherwise I would'n't know if I was dodging or not, especially considering the only notification I would get would be in game. This is the only account I have.
