Though i don't know about this mod or the details of your incident in particular. I have seen some ban happy asshats on the SPUF. As well as the gamehub. Many are self righteous wankers who "volunteer" their time to be internet bullies. I wouldn't be surprised if this is also the case.
Sorry buddy.

You didn't get banned for asking for 128-tick. You were banned for creating a duplicate thread, which is forum spam. If I banned you for this, you would be unbanned as soon as you had a conversation with me. The ban reason would have also been included in the message/email. This would act as your final warning, and if you did it again, there would be a mandatory ban.
Don't make duplicate threads.
Don't circumvent a ban by using an alternate account.

Wow that's a very serious offense making a duplicate thread.
Oh wait, 90% in CSGO forumsection are duplicates! Ban all those a-holes!
Funny how harsh they act uppon this. While I've yet to see the first impersonator-scammer that I've reported to get banned.
There's no way to justify the ban I've gotten, certainly compared with all those people that do way worse things...and not get banned, or only get banned after weeks / months and not rarely get a punishment not worth calling a punishment.
All those DDOS and hack attacks on Steam recently, I hate it. But I'm not suprised. If you treat people as badly as Steam does, you're gonna get people against you, more and more. Do it to the wrong people...

Hi
For people who do not know what 128-tick:
I'll spare you the technical explenation. But 64-tick (what CSGO currently has) results in a lot of shots fired by players not hitting their target. The bullets basicly disappear. If you watch the demo from a game for example, you'll often see for example 5 hits to the ennemy, but the game says you've hit him only twice. It's possible to do 2 headshots in a row and not get a kill. With 128-tick way less bullets would get 'lost'. So if you shoot the head, the ennemy will die like he's supposed to.
A video showing 64-tick:

So 2 days ago I made ONE thread on the CSGO forum asking for 128-tick. No insults in the thread, nothing offensive.
I've immediately gotten a forumban... How is it against the rules to ask for 128-tick? It's not. My thread might be considered "spam" as others also asked for 128-tick. But is that enough reason for a forumban, just asking for 128-tick? My account is 7y old and I've spend like 2000 hours on CSS and CSGO together, and I'm not allowed to even make a single thread asking for 128-tick? Most likely it was an emotional ban from the forummod because srsly...if that's banable... Probably I was just the victim of the mods rage against people asking for 128-tick (I know more people ask for it).
After I logged in to my other account to complain about the forumban as it's obviously an undeserved forumban. Then that account got forumbanned too, for longer. And then the forummod added me to message me that he'd be taking action against me, basicly threaten me. He later kind of admitted that the forumban was kind of an overkill. He was suprised that I wasn't happy to get banned for making ONE thread without any offensive nor rulebreaking content. So he reported my profile (his words, dunno exact what he did).
So the next day I log in and...one month community ban... All I did was making ONE thread asking for 128-tick. Like seriously?
Later this forummod told me that the ban isn't because of the dispute I've had with him but must be because of something else they've found. Yeah right, I've been thinking about everything, I didn't break any rules. Even at steamtrades I don't accept paypal (unlike many others) just to prevent a suspension or anything else because it's against the rules to resell games.
The rule I'd have broken also isn't mentioned in the ban message. I think I just became a victim of mod rage. And this while I have a 7y old account, spent €300 the last few months etc... And this ban has come at the most important part of the year: Steam winter sale.
I've always been a fan of Steam and also of the support (while many people dislike the support). Atm I'm furious about this community ban. All because I asked for 128-tick... Can you believe it?
I went from an ambassador of Steam to a hater... It's not too late for me to become happy again about Steam; but that would require an unban. But we've all heard the storries of people who had similar problems: steam support doesn't reply to their questions, and certainly not fast. So it's very unlikely I'll have my community "privileges" (as they call it) back when the winter sale starts tomorrow.
I just wanted to share my experience. Have any of you guys had something similar happen to you? Any advice?
I'm very frustrated and angry atm. Because one month community ban is too rediculous for words for making a 128-tick thread. And there's nothing I can do, there's nobody I can contact for it... Yes I've contacted Steam support but based on the storries people tell about these kind of things, the chances are very slim something constructive will come from it. When I had a billing issue I had received a reply after 24h. For this, will I even get a reply? And Won't it just be "sorry we can't do anything about it".
