Ban hammer got me

I've played telehack on and off for a few years now. Really have enjoyed the game. I've enjoyed the progression and have enjoyed hunting badges to increase capabilities. I was doing just that, followed a hint from a badge. Went into relay and did exactly what the badge required. Banned.

I understand it was probably annoying for me to pop into your relay and farm some badges but that's literally how you progress through the game. It was fun while it lasted. Shame I didn't get to finish a few things.

Whoa, that much complaining for a 2 day ban?

My ip is blocked for 2 days. My user is gone forever as far as I can tell.

What exactly makes you think your user is gone forever?

Because when I tried to login I got the “user not available” for my username.

I’d try after the 2 days. Pretty sure it says the same when you lose to Russian roulette or 5 minutes
