False bannings galore.

A query can then be retrieved from their databases. Any player who was seen to have interacted with the function, NPCs, etc would then be brought up and be considered to be banned. The only issue with this is that from time to time there can be issues with information sent between a player's client and the server. While the function was only triggered once when creating a new character, it has the potential of accidentally appearing as more (or even any amount). I have noticed this while working on application development with Mapler.me as on multiple times a quest has appeared to be completed more then once, sometimes random (33,51,11, etc) is there was anything interrupting the server or connection.

You're half right. However, you didn't abuse this exploit a "few times" for "testing". You did very deliberately, to the result of over a hundred levels. And if you think we can't see that...

I'm a bit disappointed to see the team go by fact merely based on logs an not take into account the person himself that was banned. Anything coded or technology has the potential of malfunctioning or not being accurate at some point, this is a given, although the fact that without reasonable doubt that the case would not be reconsidered regardless of my relation with the community is saddening.

We gave you a tremendous reasonable doubt. We re-investigated this by having a team member spend a couple hours meticulously reviewing your account. The result was you actually abused the exploit more than we had initially thought, and more than what you told us when you asked us to look into it. If anything, as a former Volunteer, you should be held to a higher standard because you are a role model to the community...but we actually didn't give you any special treatment one way or the other. Just like anybody else, when you abuse an exploit, you have to deal with the consequences.
