Absurdity of casual banning

[Yashu_rao]

Hey everyone,
I think we need to talk about the absolute comedy routine that is PikaNetwork’s current screening process.
I recently got slapped with a temporary ban for "Refusal to SS" while casually grinding mobs. The twist? I never actually refused. I just happen to own a slow PC and internet that operates at the speed of a snail. I didn't have AnyDesk installed, so while I was waiting for my low-spec PC to slowly download it, the staff apparently ran out of patience and decided I was stalling.

Since when did playing a casual block game to unwind require NASA-grade fiber internet and a high-end gaming rig pre-loaded with remote desktop software? If staff checked server logs for even two seconds, they’d see my human click rate. A real autoclicker clears 30–40 mobs in 2 seconds. I was just a regular player fighting my own hardware lag.
But the absolute funniest part of this whole situation is who isn't getting banned.

While legitimate players are getting hit with temporary bans just for having bad internet, we have people literally writing full-on confessions in public chat. Just look at the screenshot I attached. Players are casually admitting to using autoclickers, aim assist, and killaura in global chat, totally unbothered.

It feels like the staff team is completely blind to the actual blenders ruining PvP, but the moment a casual player takes more than two minutes to download a file, it's treated like a major offense.
Can we please get a reasonable grace period for players who don't have supercomputers? Handing out temporary bans over a slow download speed while actual hackers are giving chat interviews about their client config is a wild way to run a server.

What do you guys think? Anyone else out there get hit with a ban just because their Wi-Fi decided to take a nap during an SS check?

You can make an appeal here to get unbanned if you have proof that it was genuinely taking time to download anydesk and you weren't stalling. As to that guy admitting to using an auto clicker, you can report them if you have video proof of them cheating, or you could've done /report in-game. I dont think a standalone screenshot of the player boasting about using an auto clicker is enough to get them banned.

I already appealed 4 hours and 30 min ago (4 views on the application but still no response) as for the proof idk if anyone would consider it or not but i am attaching a screenshot of my regular internet speed. About the person on chat, if admitting to their own offence is not a proof then idk what is, also the in game player report barely works and mostly shows the player is offline.

If you have already appealed then just be patient for a response, and those 4 views could just be from you refreshing/ opening the appeal.
You need to have evidence off it being delayed due to your internet at the time, when you were asked for SS. Someone "admitting" to using an auto clicker isnt valid evidence, as it could just be them joking or something. You need to have evidence like a recording of their gameplay for it to be proper evidence. And if the in-game player report system shows that the player is offline, you are supposed to make a report on the forums.

you didnt need to paste all of this, you could just "i got banned cuz my pc is as slow as m-"
anyway it's not their fault if your PC is bad since you might have made it bad intentionally.

also downloading anydesk does NOT need a "nasa computer", take my core 2 duo as an example.
