1.) Include your ban profile link:
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198113396041 is my profile. As you can tell, I've been playing for years and have my own name which I normally go by, V-Copy.

His profile is https://steamcommunity.com/id/Ed4head which as you can tell by the custom URL he is the original that I copy for the gimmick

2.) Explain what happened / why you have been banned:
Hello, my friend and I both use the same username (through the use of a unicode character that the TF2 engine does not recognize) and profile picture as a gimmick. I previously had a ban for 3 days for racist language, which this appeal is NOT about. However, I was using his name and profile picture at the time. Earlier today, he joined a server and I found out I had a ban so he was there alone for a short amount of time. Just about 20 minutes ago, he tried to join the server only to find himself banned and when we both checked the list, someone extended mine to permanent and gave him a permanent ban for evasion. We have both been playing on these servers since 2017, and we often enjoy playing with this gimmick, on casual mode as well.

3.) Tell us why we should unban you:
Because we are actually separate people with our own accounts. We've been doing this for a while if you ask some frequenters of the trade minecraft world servers they might be able to corroborate our claims. I know that I still should be banned for about 3 days for a reason, so I don't ask or expect to be entirely unbanned, but the real Ed did nothing wrong.

-----
We would be willing to chat at the same time with someone if you want to add both of us on steam, by the way.

I have decided to merge both of your appeal threads since they're the same situation. Both of you are free to reply to this thread.

Can you explain why you were both under the same IP address?

 

[Edsforehead]

I Explain It In My Thread We Are Sitting Right Next To Each Other Rn He Is Visiting after doing some work in another state he stopped by for the week for us to hang out we can get into a discord call for proof

I am visiting him in real life, if you go back more than 2 weeks any times my account has been on the servers the IP should be one from Iowa

Alright, I can confirm this is the case; sorry for the misunderstanding. I have reduced the original ban back to 3 days and lifted the other bans.

Appeal accepted.
