IP Ban Options

[Eva]

Hello!
First I would like to ask what an IP ban is and how long it lasts and second I would like to discuss some other issues.
My steam profile is http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198202328987/ and I know I have been far from an exemplary player!
The ban was probably a couple of days ago, I imagine because of a teamkill although can't be sure.
It would sure be great if we could discuss this maturely, although at times I'm considering quitting the game all together due to the issues I mentioned earlier. (I can elaborate if you want but I don't know if this is the right place for that.)
Looking forward to any reply and thanks for taking the time to read this.

I remember there were people kicking others because they were standing in the way (in the map where you enter a cave) and that resulted in an altercation with another player who probably thought I kicked him so we were attacking each other and I ended up killing him since he wouldn't stop his attacks. Not trying to justify it, just stating the situation as I can remember it cause I had been playing for a while that day. I already stated in my original post that I have not been the best player around. However, if nothing else, I would at least ask for some clarification as to whether my ban is permanent (and if not, how long it is) so I can stop trying to connect to the 64p server in vain!
All in all, I'm glad this gave me an opportunity to talk to you here and read more extensively about the rules. (Better late than never, right?☺)
