Where is the evidence of a speed hack exactly? He said he lost traction at the start, spun and was banned. How exactly does that consitute 'a reason' for being banned? :S Yes, the servers have been bashed in the past (that 6 page thread being a prime example). However, FM's PR isn't the best, we all know that, yes?
I don't want this thread to turn into a flamewar....guys, just do the noble thing and unban him (Or provide a replay?)
EDIT: Popps (or however your name is spelt), EVERY server has 'noobers', it's a fact of life. You and the FM gang seem dedicated to eradicating them. Have you ever thought that you were one once, and that if you eradicate them, and ban anyone who makes a mistake, you'll have nobody to race with?
