Hi, our gameserver account was falsely banned. We DO NOT RUN ANY plugin that give players weapons that they DO NOT own. We do run "always weapon plugin", a plugin, that gives the player HIS ak from HIS OWN inventory when playing CT, for example ( https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=237114 ). Where do I voice my convern for this false ban? Which emailaddresses should I write to? Thanks.
