I've been erroneously banned from CS2 twice, with no reason given. Both times I've been unbanned after appealing. I have no doubt if I were active on t2 they would have banned me. This only happened once I started using linux too, particularly when I started using dev versions of software.

I strongly doubt they've only gotten bots on this

Edit: clarity

Sounds like if they did mess up, they'd be happy to unban if you're an example to follow.

I had to appeal though. Their stance here though is no appeals

You are correct. Reading through it does seem like they don't want to do any appeals.

I guess, I don't really blame them. The game is how old now? How likely is it that a real person was using a modified version of TF2 that explicitly didn't give them an advantage, and was banned?

Guess only thing to do is wait and see just how many people were banned, however from the sounds of it, it was desperately needed and now a significant amount more people can actually enjoy the game.
