I had my main account "SamHyde" banned for allegedly posting a malicious external link to a hot fix for the League cheat.
I'd like to take this opportunity to appeal my ban.
When patch 8.12 initially hit for League of Legends, there was a hot fix that spread around the VIP section for a couple days that a lot of people said worked for them, so I started using it myself...and it worked for me too and my windows defender nor my anti virus detected anything malicious.
SO, I noticed other people were having the same problem using the cheat so I would link them the hot fix for League that actually does work, simply because I wanted to help them. In fact I have actually made friendships on this forum and now play in League of Legends with some of the people I've helped, all of us using this hot fix collectively and playing in parties, no problem at all.
Fast forward a couple days after that initial hot fix a couple weeks ago, my comments were removed and I received an infraction for posting external links. I immediately went to my other comments that had the external links that I knew hadn't been removed already by forum moderation and edited those comments to remove the links to prevent further infractions, I even went as far as to advise someone else who also commented with the hot fix external link to remove the link from his comment because all of us were receiving infractions for it.
Fast forward to a couple days ago when the new patch hit for League, people were of course posting new hot fixes and even x22 himself commented on one of the hot fix threads that were made and he seemed to have had no problem with it. Then 3 days passed of this hot fix being spread around on the forum and no one was being banned or receiving infractions for it, so I safely assumed that the forum staff and moderation were allowing us to help each other with hot fixes since it seemed no action was being taken and that the hot fix was actually working.
Then I log on today and I was banned for "posting malicious files and external links".
Tl;DR:
Hot fix works for everyone, I try to help people and give them the link, hot fix works for me, no one received infractions or bans after the 8.13 patch for posting hot fixes, I assume it's safe to help people with the hot fix. 100% unaware that what I am posting is allegedly malicious, I get banned for it.
I understand that the forum moderation saw something wrong, and they quickly banned anyone that they thought or knew were posting the hot fix links and I can appreciate good forum moderation to keep us safe. This is why I wanted to post a ban appeal to explain the case from my point of view and list out the steps I took to remove those links for my comments and point out why I actually used those links.
I hope this clearly explains my case and why I feel I should be unbanned.
I appreciate your time in reading this.
