Randomly banned? Player name Boxxy

I couldn't find a good ban appeal format to follow, so I just copied one from another site:
Ingame Name: Boxxy
SteamID: I don't know, if you need it I can get it for you, just say the word.
Ban Reason: Don't know since it just happened out of the blue
Admin Name: Crazykid
Explain detailed what happened: I asked a question about why my worms weren't reproducing anymore, then when someone pointed out that I had to remain a scientist, I switched classes and started walking back to my base, about halfway there I was banned for no reason...
Why do you think the ban is unfair: The ban came out of no where, I really don't see how I could have done anything wrong. I think the admin should definitely have warned me first if I was doing anything wrong, and then tell me why I was getting banned. I tried friending him on steam after the ban took place but he just insta-blocked me.
Date/Time of Ban [GMT+1]: Around 8:10 PM GMT-4, Monday, August 29th.
Ban Length: Don't know, there was no info on it.
Time left: Don't know.

Well first off, on your steam profile, you impersonated 2 or more players from the server, including crazykid, one of our admins.

Also on your previous list is the name "testing", which was the same person who spammed on this forums recently.

Also, both crazy and I have seen your recent names list, so changing it wont do you any good.

Thats reason enough for me, the ban stays.

I wasn't aware that having the same name was impersonating, and furthermore, I wasn't aware that this was a bannable offense?

I don't see anywhere on my list of aliases the name "testing"? I've never gone by the name of testing. Or do you mean like an adjective? If so, what was I testing?

I don't understand what I did wrong. I was just getting into the game, with a super miner and 4 worms, I was enjoying myself. I'd really love to play on your server again.

Eldarstorm, or Andrew, Postman's information isn't entirely accurate. I'm not calling either one of you liars, I think you've just been misinformed. No where in the rules does it say I can't have the same name as other players, and no where on my steam profile does it say "testing". I know down south, in Alabama, people are kind and welcoming. I grew up not far from Alabama, and was raised this way. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could check on this again please. My steam profile is:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/alicem

Again, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, and I appreciate the speedy response time from both of you. I understand how hard it can be to manage a game server, along with a website.

Tracing eldars ip to get his name and location doesnt make this any more personal or inviting.

That may indeed be your profile, which you have recently set to private, and added a bunch of other names into your recent name history.
Considering all of the recent names in that list were added within a 2 minutes of eachother.

Crazy was on the server, and linked your profile to me.

Impersonating an admin may or may not be on the rules, but its still ban-able.

We have no trouble managing our server, or this website, its just annoying when someone like you comes along and thinks they can do things like you have.

If you somehow managed to get us to unban you, you cant now, as you've just lied to the website/server owner and dev, and a server super admin and dev.
Were not stupid people, we've dealt with all of the tricks in the book, and the fact that you've tried to use them, is quite sad.

As i said earlier, ban remains.


Edit: ive asked crazy and you are indeed the same person who caused issues on the server at an earlier time.

Edit2: I will not be making another post until eldar replies.

The ban stays.

We do know now that you are testing who spammed these forums before.
Common sense would tell you that changing your name to the name of a admin would be banable. Its also obvious that you hid your previous names by all the recent changes to your alias. If you did not know, it time stamps your name changes.

Also, I do not appreciate you tracking down personal information of mine and posting it on the forums. I know this feat is not really that hard, but still. You should be careful with doing that stuff, track to much and its a federal offence and you will be reported.

So another way you've lied:

L 08/26/2011 - 01:11:38: "testing<8><STEAM_0:1:20237730><>" connected, address "76.253.107.240:27005"
L 08/27/2011 - 15:40:45: "the door resists<186><STEAM_0:1:20237730><>" connected, address "76.253.107.240:27005"
L 08/28/2011 - 14:13:32: "Zoey<10><STEAM_0:1:20237730><>" connected, address "99.68.166.71:27005"

and in reference to the "zoey" name:
