[center][b]Because many people don't use the correct format I've decided to make

this guide for them,it will contain everything they need to know to make an unb
an appeal. [/b]
[b][u][size=14pt][color=red][font=courier]PART 1-POSTING IN THE CORRECT BOARD[/f
ont][/color][/size][/u][/b]
[spoiler=Correct board][img]http://i.imgur.com/d2N4nyM.png[/img][/spoiler]
Blue square is ZM board,and the Red square is the unban requests child board (wh
ere you will post your appeal)
Once you head there you want to click on the thread with the correct format and
then start a new topic
[spoiler=Unban appeals board][img]http://i.imgur.com/wgqHbaf.png[/img][/spoiler]
The Red square is the thread where you will find the correct format to use as we
ll as some most common ban reasons.The Blue square is the "New topic" button whi
ch you will use to post an appeal.
Open the thread with the format,head to the part marked with the Blue square,pre
ss Select,then press CTRL+C to copy it.

Start a new topic,paste the format using CTRL+V,fill out the format(post your In
-Game name,Why you were banned,when did you get banned,and why should you get un
banned.Now comes the tricky part where many users screw something up:Posting Scr
eenshots.
[b][u][size=14pt][color=red][font=courier]PART 2- SCREENSHOTS[/font][/color][/si
ze][/u][/b]
I will try to explain this in the simplest way possible:
Head over to your Program files,find a file named Rockstar games,there should be
a folder named GTA San Andreas,open it,go in full screen.The path should look s
omething like this:
[spoiler=Path to GTA folder][img]http://i.imgur.com/Kz3xXXI.png[/img][/spoiler]
Go in full screen and press PrintScreen button.Then open MS Paint,press CTRL+V (
paste combination)save the picture anywhere(its best on your desktop its easiest
to find).The the same for the Data folder which should be located inside your G
TA folder.If you didnt capture files at the bottom,scroll down and take another
SS.Then enter the server and take a screenshot when you see the message that you
are banned.It looks something like this "You are currently banned from the serv
er,post an appeal at pgagaming.net".
[b][u][size=14pt][color=red][font=courier]PART 3-Uploading and posting screensho
ts[/font][/color][/size][/u][/b]
This is really simple,just go to any image hosting site,I prefer Imgur,register
if you haven't already,select the "Computer" box to upload images from your PC.A
window will pop up,find the images,and wait for them to upload.
[spoiler=Imgur interface][img]http://i.imgur.com/9hqGmOX.png[/img][/spoiler]
Click on one of your pictures to select them,then chose BB code,or just normal l
ink,copy and paste it into your appeal.Do that for all your pictures.
One last tip:Be patient while admins are resolving your appeal and don't lie at
all.[/center]
[center]So, as many of you, I've been in this community quite a while, and have
seen the transition in the way on how maps are made.Before there were a lot of s
pots for humans, and it was clear ( for the most part ) what spot was map abuse
and what was not. Now, more realistic maps are being made and are encouraged. Th
ey don't have obvious spots for humans and the line between "a good spot" and "m
ap abuse" gets a little fuzzy with many players calling them abusers, flaming an
d reporting them in forums ( I've done the same ). I think we need to get down t
o the basics on this issue.
[spoiler=Map abuse]We need to learn what [b]map abuse[/b] really is.
For me (and I hope for you all) the definition is as following: Any place that w
as not intended to be used for protection against zombies when the map was made,
is considered map abuse.

In newer maps, we see a lot of objects used as defense against zombies when they
[b]were not intended[/b] to be used like that by the map creator. ( Perhaps the
ir original purpose was decoration, details etc. )
A good example is this spot on Wallace's map Dead Island http://www.pgagaming.ne
t/forums/index.php?topic=803.0.
The spot was ( probably ) not made to be used for humans ( maybe it was a little
touch to make the map feel more natural and detailed ). And we see that people
are using it to their advantage. Sure, some of might say that a boomer and nemes
is using /kill could knock that man off the spot. But who really has the patienc
e, because if the human has any knowledge of the game, he will kill the boomer b
efore he even had a chance to do anything.
Many older maps have creators that left the community or are inactive and there
is no way in getting their opinion about some spots in their maps. Also the mind
set back then was different. Maps were designed to have good human spots.
So we have a few options ahead of us:
-We can use the definition above to decide whether a spot is abusive or,
-We can use "I've seen players get infected there", "Its possible to get there b
y jumper", "A boomer push him off".
Players in some spots that were not intended to be used DO get infected, but tha
t alone cannot be the reason for some of us to defend the spots that were CLEARL
Y not made to be used for humans.
I feel like that is enough about map abuse for now. I'm not an admin now, but I
have had previous experience and I hope my word is still worth something.[/spoil

[spoiler=One-man spots]Now let's move onto another section: [b]"One-man" spots[/
b]
These types of spots are easy to explain: [b]One[/b] person can occupy it, a hum
an or a zombie.
I will now explain why I think these types of spots should be banned. (Subjectiv
e opinions ahead)
[spoiler]I will use this place as an example: http://www.pgagaming.net/forums/in
dex.php?topic=769.0
ZM should encourage teamwork between players, humans and zombies alike. These sp
ots do the exatly opposite.
Why would a human team up with other humans and use one of the popular spots on
the map and defend it, when he can just go on a one-man spot and kill a whole lo
t more zombies?
This particular spot, the top of the palm tree, is already hard to reach as is,
by jumping from the building above. Now try doing that as a zombie, you need to
conquer a spot that is guarded by humans, and even when you do it, there will be
humans shooting at you from the spot up on the street. 3-4 bullets and you are
knocked down. Let's say you reach the top of the building and are ready to jump
down and surprise him. Well guess what, he was figured out a way how to be on th
at spot for the entire round and all without shooting a bullet. He simply positi
ons himself near the edge and the zombie ( thanks to SAMP mechanics ) will hit b
ounce off the human and fall down.
What about the fence? As far as I know, zombies cant jump up on that model of fe
nce from the ground. Even if they get there somehow, the fence and the airport r
unway block used as border for the map, dont ussualy match,leaving holes for zom
bies to get stuck in.
The basic problem with one-man spots is that, due to San Andreas mechanics, play
ers camping there can just position themselves good and no zombie or human can g
et there.

Those are my reasons.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

I hope you have something to add and I hope to have a nice discussion about this

Hello,
I've been having issues lately with agar.io on your site. I log on your site wit
h Steam and I have had no issues buying tickets, commenting, sharing etc.. But w
hen I want to play agario, my name is "Invitee (number here)" and obviously I do
nt get any points when dying.
http://imgur.com/wqUVNg3
I tried logging in using that green Login button and I filled in my Steam name a
nd my password.
But I get an error that says bad password. I try multiple times, typing LETTER b
y LETTER my password to see if I made any mistake, same thing happens. Then I lo
g out of the site and log back in with the SAME steam password, everything is fi
ne. It just happens with agario for some reason.
Sincerely,
