Ban Reason: Usage of 3rd party software.
Unban Reason: I don't know why i have been banned? I don't use 3rd party software to cheat, in fact I despise people who cheat because it ruins the fun for everyone. I Is it possibly that gmod thinks "DZSALauncher" is 3rd party software? I was downloading mods for DAYZ and still had the Launcher open. Also i use "VAC Audio Repeater" which allows me to play good quality music through my microphone whenever I'm in discord with friends on other video games.

Time of Occurrence: I don't know the time of occurance. i just now found out upon connecting to monolith, next thing I know before I can connect it says I've been console banned?

Please I beg of you guys to further investigate this, It 100% has to be a false positive or an accidental ban by staff if they are even able to do console bans. I don't cheat nor would I ever.

I have been playing as a cop main for 3 plus years on your server and have never had any issues with the programs I have on my computer.

VAC Audio Repeater: (A program that allows me to play audio from WMP to my headphones and through my mic)
iRotate: (A program to rotate monitor Display's horizontal and vertical)
Multiscreen Blank: (A program to black out a second monitor, used for watching a movie).
Rainmeter: (A program to add wigets to your desktop like a digital clock with milliseconds or a local weather application)
ShareX: (A program for taking screenshots and gif's)

There is no way any of these programs caused the false positive for 3rd party software. My only guess is that its possible "DZSALauncher" which is for DayZ modded servers, caused the false positive. DayZ has modded RP servers I like to play on. Like I stated before I had DZSALauncher open the day I found out about this false ban.

The last time I was playing on the server was on December 20 or 21 multiple people and I were having lua errors and could not get out of their vehicle or turn the sirens on, the HUD elements for cars was bugged out. I then decided to leave the game by alt f4 because I was getting annoyed after restarting gmod multiple times to unsuccessfully fix the problem.

Please further investigate this issue I beg of you. I was really looking forward to playing monolith on the holidays with my friend and everyone else on the server. I even missed out on some of the free holiday stuff and events as well because of this.

This isn't the first time I've been falsely banned or given a warning point but that happened long ago and was never as big of an issue for me to do anything about it because you have to take it to the forums and I didn't like having to sign into a 3rd party website with my steam information to make an account. I am very protective of my steam account because I own over 200 games and have spent thousands of dollars through steam. The fact this was a permanent ban is what made me join the forums to do something about it.
