Why did I get banned?; Me wondering why mc.shithead got banned

Ok, now I need to know why I got banned!

I'm the guy who played as mc.shithead (and many other before that, borat (which I used on this forum), mr.eko, art.vandelay.. I'm not a big fan of nicknames, I just use one to be able to log on, and change them like underwear). Actually I am quite a nice guy, no shithead, that's just a nick I got from one of the GTA SA radio stations :) At least I think I heard it there..

I don't push or ram on purpose. It may happen though by accident (especially to Samy yesterday, he claims), as I'm no geek which means I'm no pro in this game. I have however done some racing in real life, and I do know many racing techniques, so I have managed to win some races on your server. (even though it's a game which by no means is a racing simulator, you can still apply many of these techniques here..) What happens behind me when I'm driving, I have no idea. I take no liability in what happens when you try to overtake me. If I notice it, I won't block, unless the track demands me turning - then it might happen! And I will let you go once I realise I lost. If I try to overtake I usually stay behind the other guy and wait for them to make a mistake, it happens sooner or later (usually), rather than taking risks that will make us both crash (ie. taking a line that crosses with the line the other guy needs to take through a corner). Also the starts, a lot of pushing and ramming occurs there, but it is a race so staying back and awaiting the chaos to end won't make you a winner, therefore I just go hard and hope to get through the first corner.

Also, I never cheat. I haven't even used a single secret code on a game to gain some advantage during the last 10 years or so. I think Duke Nukem 3D was the last game I cheated in :)

Anyway, the question is, why did I get banned? It happened during a DD, so it cannot possibly be because of any of the things I mentioned above (except for cheating, which you'll just have to take my word for that I don't do). Did Mr. Adnan have some unfinished business from some previous race? Perhaps it's something that we could've talked about? Or just kick me? I'd like to mention I've never been kicked from your server either, except for those numerous times when the client stopped responding.. But that happens to all of us, usually in 1st place.. Right?

I think it's just a mistake, perhaps there was some cheater, and accidentally I got banned instead? I just want to be unbanned so I can keep racing on my favourite server (No sucking up here, just making a statement!). You have the best maps, don't get stuck on DD maps for hours, not so many of these weird maps, there's only this gofastftw that people seem to like, and I hate.. And the admins do (or until now did?) a great job in keeping the cheaters away.

Just some thoughts of mine, and a simple request. No apologies, however, until I know what I might have done!

Oh, and my IP is EDIT: not needed no more :)
To speed up further communication with me, if there is any, you can use my email as I might not be a very active member of this forum. I chose it since I don't use irc and obviously could not ask this in the game.

Have a nice weekend! In a few days..

PS. Yes, I know, lots of parentheses.. that's just my way of writing, I can't get rid of them :) And I hope you made it through all of this.. Didn't mean to make it this long, it just kinda grew and grew.. I don't chat a lot in races, I guess I had to let it all out sometime :)

omg...i have not read this but i'm sorry. There was a guy named HIT_ME in the game. He was a cheater so i got to ban him. I typed rcon ban hit, and it kicked you (because of mc.shithead) instead of him :\ i'm really sorry and i'll ask driver2 to solve this.

EDIT: You are unbanned

we apologize for this, good that it's been solved.. :)

there's a mistake in the banning system, hopefully the MTA will fix this in their next release.. I remember there was a cheater called "." (yeah "dot") and I had to kick everyone with a "." in their name in order to ban him..
