Hell some of our biggest community fights have been over somebody and hacking (<3 you @Fozzy). So I hope it sheds a little light on why it may have seemed like a quick trigger finger with the ban over this.Honestly the fact that it was a straight up perma with no warning is what made me so flustered but after reading this I can understand why.. thanks.
In terms of this case itself I can promise you my word that there were no personal opinions involved in this decision, I was one of the staff members directly in the conversation and will even say I supported a ban. We all simply thought you were being serious about it (Seeing as it's an actual site) and I saw it as an open and shut advertising hacks = Ban case. (Regarding the lack of this in !motd; I will agree that it is common sense but there is a point to make about maybe putting it in there to cover all bases.)
Now looking upon this case and looking at your replies it seems you are understanding that we didn't see it as a stupid joke at the time but I will say that I personally see it as that now. As long as you see the joke was in poor taste and crosses that sensitive line to gmod servers which is hacking, I have no problem supporting an unban.
At the end of the day no major harm was done and I personally don't see you as a repeat offender of advertising hacks.
+1 For Unban.
