So I took some time to kinda revisit the whole ordeal, and my conclusions are as follows (for all the issues, not just hacking):

DDoS Warn: I sadly don't have footage to back it up from when I was on (another staff member might), but by memory the joke was similar in wording to "Help I'm being DDoS'd". Technically, per the wording of Da Rules, DDoS jokes targeting yourself kinda walk a grey area if not completely put you in the clear. I think this really should have been a verbal at most, versus a warn.

Hackusations: I've reviewed quite a bit of the footage myself, and personally I haven't found anything that screams definitive hacking. Quite a bit of it is definitely cause for suspicion, but nothing blatant in my opinion. I don't think your prior admission to cheats, as well as your long ban history help your case here. However, since there is no (again, in my opinion) definitive proof in our case, I don't think it's fair to keep the ban on.

Mass RDM: Yeah, you definitely deserved this one. You at the very least apologized, as in you at least said the words " I want to apologize for lashing out". I don't agree with what you said after the fact, but whatever. I still don't believe this should go completely unpunished though.

One more thing, I don't really appreciate you accusing Damien of "targeting you". It's standard practice after a chat/vc related warn to gag/mute the warned player. The warn was regarding a VC message, so it's common practice to gag. I don't agree with the warn, but still everything Damien did as far as handling the warn was completely within guidelines. You claim "he wanted a reaction" out of you, but it was completely your choice and yours alone to mass. Quit blaming others for your own mistakes.

Basically, my final opinions are to nix the DDoS warn and the hack ban, but maybe downgrade the mass perma to a 1-2 week ban. I think that might be a bit generous given the overall lack of humility you've shown, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt given the misconceptions/bad warn.

TLDR: +1 Hack Ban Removal, +1 DDoS Joke Warn Removal, Downgrade Mass RDM Perma to a 1-2 Week ban.

Thank you, when I checked the rules I did not see a full understanding of Mass rdm, I did not know how many reports would lead to a ban. I still think that I led that round with intention to rdm however and think I should be punished, while I do think a perma ban is rather extreme I agree with you on the idea of a shortening and maybe reducing it to a month would be the best outcome considering the whole situation. And while it may seem weird for me to accuse Damien of targeting me, I feel like it makes a fair amount of sense in my mind considering he didn't really try much to reason with me and his prior unprofessionalism towards me gave me the idea there was some bias put in his decisions towards me. Of course, I will not blame him for my rdms, those are my actions alone and he did not control me in any way to do that and I apologize for even insinuating someone else made me mass rdm. For the lack of humility I was initially offended due to being called a cheater and reacted poorly to that, I feel like I shouldn't have reacted that way to the playerbase though when they understandably just want to make sure cheaters and wrongdoers stay out of their server so they can enjoy the gameplay and people that ttt has to offer, after I had sometime to reflect on it though I realized that I shouldn't have got upset with people and the -1s are there for a reason.
