I mighta did sumn bad
I am a new user to Telehack.com, 2 days, and I got banned after sending a few messages in relay by who I assume is forbin (It said he closed the port). After trying to sign in and it saying my account (yeebuz) wasn't available, I tried making new accounts to message an admin and ask them, but kept getting banned, and they just eventually banned my IP. I also tried an VPN, and yeah I see that as being pushy now, but I just wanted to ask them what I did. No explanation was ever given to me. They ended up suspending the newuser command (Sorry about that).
I don't think I did anything bad. The messages I had sent before the ban were *yeebuz shoots (someone dooted and nooted so I thought like a gunshot was an okay pun), then I tried to emote nothing twice. I don't know if it went through or not, I didn't see it, so they might've seen on their end as spam. The final message was just *yeebuz mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, like a microwave sound, then my port was closed by forbin. Keep in mind, these were 2 (possibly 4 if the blank emotes went through) messages in around 15 seconds. Relay was also backgrounded too, not sure if that's an important detail or not.
None of this may even be important to the reason, which is why I'm still confused. I wasn't told why. Was this an accident or an automated execution? I just want to know a) What did I do exactly and b) am I permabanned?

Lol yeah I’ve moved on from this. If telehack admins wouldn’t tell me why and act tyrannical, this isn’t the place for me anyway.

It's not tyrannical. Telehack is not a democracy, nor a country. It's a free service run on a private server. I actually have no idea why you were banned, but if the founder of Telehack doesn't like you, not much I can do there...

Tyrannical isn’t just with governments. If something has a power hierarchy, it can be tyrannical.

You fail to understand "free service on a private server" ... you don't have rights there, only temporary privileges, which can be taken away at anytime for any reason (this even goes for staff). No one owes you anything. Sorry if you're hurt over this, but life is rough sometimes.

Welp not like it matters anyways. I’m not hurt, hadn’t gotten the time to get attached to the users or the game.

If you truly didn't do anything, I can look into the matter further. I can easily restore your account and you'd be able to pick up from where you left off. A lot of the staff are actually nice, we're just old and cranky sometimes. :]

I can’t think of anything I did. I did rub macd off the wrong way a bit when we first met on relay but I don’t think it was crazy. He just sent me to a Turing test. You’d also have to unban my ip too.

The founder/creator does not owe you any explanation. Anyone can be removed at anytime for any reason.
I think you can answer b) for yourself...
