Wrong. You had been previously banned for causing havoc (including swearing and ramming) on our training server about 3 weeks before this ban.

Correct.



You previously made an unban request a little over a year ago. Above is a screenshot from LFSForum which I believe you provided last time.
In that request, your account of what had happened was completely false - from what I remember, it included leaving the pits after the race had started, something that we disproved from the screenshot before we'd even found >the replay<.
Once we'd posted the replay, you changed your tune - although you were far from mature throughout IIRC. If your maturity hadn't improved by your first unban request, how sure can we be that there's been a dramatic change since?
What you've said here is somewhat closer to the mark, although what you said on the replay (denying all knowledge of everything) doesn't match with what you're saying here.


Regardless, we have a very simple policy when it comes to confirmed cheating/gaining an unfair advantage, whether on our servers or in a competitive situation on others'.

It is common in other online games for cheaters to be permanently globally banned from that game - or, in the case of PSN/XBox Live, globally banned from the entire network.
People have been known in the past to receive global LFS bans for cheating - this will now happen automatically with the recent CPW system changes.
You should count yourself lucky that you're only banned from our servers.

We have never unbanned a confirmed cheater, and I see no reason to start now.
