Character Name?

Type of Ban?
Sticky Ban
What is your Bancode?
2H2021Cluster
Admin who banned you?
Total Ban Duration
Remaining Duration
What other servers do you play on?
Paradise Station, TGMC.
Are you now or have you been banned on any servers? Which ones?
I am not banned in any servers, but I likely will be if I join due to running BYOND through WINE via Lutris.
Do you play using a Virtual Machine?
No
is your copy of Windows legitimate?
No
Reason for Ban:
The ban is almost certainly caused by me running BYOND in WINE via Lutris. WINE is not an emulator or a virtual machine, but anyone else who uses WINE will likely have the same HWID as each other, causing an automatic ban.
On Paradise Station I had a popup warning informing me that I had “[…] already logged in with another key this round, please log out of this one NOW or risk being banned!” while an admin informed me to ignore it as my hardware identifier is the same as anyone else running BYOND through WINE.
The ban message I see in BYOND for CM-13 is “Stickybanned - Ban Evasion - Bancode 2H2021Cluster Identifier: 2H2021Cluster” meaning I must have the same hardware identifier as someone who has been banned in 2021.
Also, I have selected “No” for if my copy of Windows is legitimate as it is a required field however, WINE is not an emulator or virtual machine, and therefore isn’t running Windows and can not be pirated.

Your appeal:
It appears that I can’t upload any images here via this form, and I do not have a website I use to temporarily upload photos so none have been linked. I assume I do not need any?
