Teammate - TB abuse

[teammate]

Dear admins,

Although I do respect your authority and admin privileges, I would like to let you know I did not have the intention of causing a TB inbalance.
I lost connection, and after rejoining it appeared to me that the team of "UsedIllegalName" was in disadvantage.
This is why I did manually switch teams.

There were only 3 players at that time, including myself.

Kind regards

Teammate

Classic abuse.

Dear Azarael

As the period of speccing (due to connection problems) was short, I switched back to the original team.
There were only three people playing at that time, including my self.

I will respect your conclusion, but I did not conciously influence the balancer.

Kind regards

Dear Azarael

Meanwhile, I have reread the rules, and especially the paragraph below, and I have come to understand the ban you have given me.

2b) If a player is switched by the balancer as a result of your spectating, you may not rejoin the game without admin permission. Similarly, if it is suspected that you are reconnecting to the server in order to switch players and manipulate the balancer, action will be taken.

I know that not being aware of the rule wasn't a valid excuse.
As such, I would like to request a lifting of the ban which, according to https://ldg-gaming.eu/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=3172 was set to expire on March 15th.

I understand if my earlier posts offended you, and would like to offer my apologies.

Kind regards
Teammate

Removed. Expected someone would get to it before I did.
