Banned on Server Despite Starting Fresh – What Happened?

02/02/2025 19:04 stonemason123#1
Hey guys, this is my second time cheating in Rust, and my first ban was a few months ago. I’ve now returned with a completely new setup: a new IP (unrelated to any old accounts), a new PC, a new router, and everything else, so there shouldn’t be any flags.

I created a new account, joined Warbandits, and played there for a few days. Today, I got banned, and the admins claimed that I had some alt accounts, which is why I was banned.

However, when I try to play on Stevious, Rusticated, or other big servers, I can play completely fine without getting banned. Do you think Warbandits actually found something, or was I just too good for my low-hour account?

I’d appreciate some input from you guys!
Cheers!

Either hardware ban or ip ban or traces on your pc

Like I already said, I got a new IP that is not connected to my old account at all. I have a completely new setup, so I can’t be hardware banned. Therefore, there can’t be any traces, since this is my first time installing Rust on this PC. Plus, I’m fine on all the big servers (Stevious, Rusticated, Reddit, Rustoria etc.), and nothing happens there.

Thanks for linking me that guide. I actually read through it already.

I didn’t link any Discord account or anything. It’s just Warbandits claiming to find alt accounts. I got banned for a suspicious profile, made a ticket, they said I have alts, I denied it, and they denied the ban appeal.

I’m pretty sure it was due to my stats and low hours; otherwise, I don’t get why I would be fine on the large main servers.

They might've been suspicious with the fresh account and stats

Read the post :) most likely just banned due to suspicious account.
