I think this was an automated fluke or something. I don't show up on your banlist page. I tried to connect while on my VPN and when attempting to connect to your server it said I was banned because "connection refused". Banned because I couldn't connect? Whatever the heck that means.
user: inner_rage
Time of ban: about 3pm (GMT-4)
Oddly, after turning off the VPN I can't access ANY other server now as it says my key code is in use..... COD really really hates VPN users apparently.
ps. these forum verification questions are super annoying

Not an automated fluke, it was an automated ban from our admin tool. We've had many issues with VPN usage to evade bans and we recently started to block its usage. However, I've added your player ID to an exception list so that you can continue to use your VPN if you need it.
The suspect your "Key code in use" message is that the Activision master server probably cached your VPN IP with the CD key combo, and it needed to age off.
I agree with your feelings on the verification questions, but the russian bots have been out in force.

Thanks. I usually turn the VPN off before joining anyway so I can have a better ping, but I just kinda forget that time.
