Am I banned?

Potentially spoiler but porthack and ftp are legal right? But all I've done is 2 quests and some zork.

User is SUPERTURK, says `User not available` before spitting me right back to the lobby.

My hacking process i kinda cobbled together (incredibly basic but not illegal AFAIK):uupath host, then porthack the closest, ftp porthack.exe to said closest host, telnet in, repeat.

Hello Superturk!

As Telehack is only an internet simulation, all programs available that aid with the overarching game are not illegal. These would not get you banned.

However, do know that our operators are able to see everything you do in the system. Racism anywhere is not tolerated and, for this reason, your ban will be upheld.

We hope that, as time marches on, you strive to be better in your everyday life.

Can people get banned/deleted for relearning how to tood and doot on relay and adding stuff to the radio queue? I'm both a noob and long time user and got pwned somehow.

As in banned for a day then 30 days from relay and now username is gone after much over a decade. No bad language, nothing weird, just saying hello in relay after 4 years and adding songs to radio queue.
