Banned for following the rules?

Why are you banned: Luring about the rules to force draw! 134776 (TID)
Why you should be unbanned:
In the LTD rules it clearly says "When picking a mode other than the default one (-hpgmcb prophet or -phgmcb), mode setter (red) must announce it in the lobby before the game starts. Every player must be informed, so they have the opportunity to leave in case of dislike."

Granted those are rules for LTD..
Now this was a LTD HELL game and red picked -pr mode

this is the link to the Ban request viewtopic.php?f=24&t=134776

Since this was a HELLHALT game I could always read about the general rules which states:
"Do not abuse votekick, !draw, or !ff.
Drawing is a mere vote and not mandatory. You must have a legitimate reason to draw: for example, a player has left the game, or the mode was unannounced."

and also
"Do not lie about modes. If you intend to choose a non-default mode or if there is no known default mode, announce the mode in lobby or vote ingame/in lobby."

I said that mode had to be announced in lobby before game starts. which the rules clearly say..
And I said I would request bans for those who did not draw because the mode was not announced and not standard mode!

You saying that people would be banned for not drawing is against the rules.
If you read the rule you posted you can see it says that !draw is a vote and not mandatory.

alright, then i've misinterpreted that rule, sry.. so when this happens players are supposed to finish the game with the undesired mode and later send a ban request about red?

Yes.

Drawing is NOT mandatory (this wording has been misunderstood lots of times I reckon). Red clearly broke the rule though.
