From the automated Ban List(http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=32696&currentpage=1280#25592):

Spades was just banned by RaGe.

That account was created on 2010-10-01 04:15:09 and had 249 posts.

Reason: Broken promises.

Spades, September 2010

Dear Teamliquid.net Admins,

I write this letter to apologize for my hacking incident 2 years ago, as well as the way I acted upon being caught. I realize I should've apologized immediately following the incident, but I was in a pretty bad place at the time, and instead of being mature and dealing with it, I made the mistake of being very bad mannered and defensive. It was very immature of me, and i regret how i acted. I definitely made quite a few enemies from the way i acted on forums, and It's definitely been hard rebuilding those relationships.

Originally I decided to ignore my past, and just move on with my life, completely leaving the starcraft community, but upon being persuaded to come back for Starcraft 2, I realized how much i wanted to be involved again. TeamLiquid IS the community, i can't even imagine how starcraft would be without you guys. I want a chance to be involved again, and i promise to never put myself in a negative position again. I honestly meant to write this apology shortly after the Starcraft 2 release, but i had a huge misconception that TeamLiquid admins were very unreasonable and would never give me a chance. But after talking to Hot_Bid i realize my opinion was completely wrong, and you are actually very reasonable and willing to hear me out.

I beg you to understand that I was very immature in the past, and If i could do it all over, i would definitely have handled it much differently. I've matured alot, and I've genuinely made a strong effort to rebuild my reputation. I've become friends with many of the players I originally made enemies with during the hacking incident as well as the flame wars that followed. These players include much of Team USA at the time, and many other top players. I feel I have outgrown my hacking and bad mannered reputation, and I am actually quite respected among most of the top players.


Guess that's it, Spades is screwed.

This is not the place to discuss it, go back to the spades thread, or leave it alone. We don't need any more spades hacking crap.

Why does this matter? Being banned on TL doesn't prevent someone from still playing SC2, people can still utter his name and he can still do events.

Just can't post, which he rarely does and hardly plays a role.

He didn't post very often on TL anyway except to defend himself from cheat accusations.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

It means that TeamLiquid has 'officially' decided he hacked, it's not about him being banned on TL but about confirming he hacked.

I am not surprised at all. The evidence is stacked against him with the hacking incident and his reputation is completely tarnished.
