Banned for saying 1.4.4.9

[cat]

[Q1] Provide the Ban link or if none, the reason
Link: Ban

[Q2] Did you break the rules knowingly?
I was not aware of the version 1.4.4.9 being said was not allowed, so no.

[Q3] Do you think your Ban was fair? If not, please provide a reason.
I was just responding to a player who asked if Flymeal was allowed as it was 1.4.4.9 item, I don’t see any sign of an advertisement.

[Q4] Why should we unban you?
I was completely unaware, and i have forgotten that saying 1.4.4.9 would’ve got me banned.

It is allowed as per the rules:

@system

#10 Advertising

Publicly displaying, trying to display or sending anything closely related to a foreign IP or domain is forbidden. This includes IPv6, IPv4 and local network IP addresses. If you want to tell friends of another server, use “/w” to chat to the player directly. It is still a violation if you use /w or other commands to send out foreign IP addresses or domains as a way of bypassing public chat for advertising purposes. You are allowed to advertise a domain such as “youtube.com ” as it is already commonly known and not directly associated with the content and environment of our servers.

Terraria versions are exempt from this rule (even though they are valid IPv4 addresses) so long as they are being used as versions and someone does not actually have this IP address to advertise, this includes past versions and potential future versions within reason, as well as misspellings of these versions.

It’s just that the anti - advertising filter is picking up on it and banning for it when it shouldn’t. Just be aware of that for the future.
