SourceBans Ban URL: ban
Name of your Banned Steam Account: freeman
Steam ID 32: 110422373
Date and Time of the Ban: 2022-06-02 00:37:50
Reason about the Ban: Invalid ConVar
Admin that Banned you: Console
Why should you receive a unban for the ban / gag / mute / teamban:

I was banned for turning on client-side sv_cheats with a bug that was in the game for ~a month. It involved changing one of the matchmaking ping panel convars to just 'sv_cheats' in a hud .res file. I was auto-banned by SMAC since invalid convars are usually associated with hacks. The bug was patched on June 21st and was relatively harmless; you could only change things that affect your client, such as r_ and cl_ cheat protected commands like root lod and drawothermodels.
I don't cheat and I just thought it would be funny... I play on panda often so I hope you guys can remove the permanent ban!

Sorry to say this but we class this as cheating and do not lift the punishment for invalid convar.
