I'm IP banned for the dumbest reason - Will it hurt my mod chances?

A certain someone I know (I can't even vaguely describe who he/she is or I'll break the TOU) decided to spam people with a spare account tha he/she made on my IP. His/her excuse? "I wanted to see what would happen, I didn't think they could ban the whole house."

I warned him/her that this would happen but he/she decided to do it behing my back. 700 spam comments behind my back -.-" It started a flame war. It's her/his fault for Andres making a whole topic about it yesterday on announcements  lol

Anyway that's it. Btw will this hurt my chance of becoming a mod? I was in no way involved with the IP ban of my network, and that certain he/she appologized about an hour ago.

I don't think it will. My brother got me banned for a while, but it wasn't my fault.  smile

My guess is that if you explain it to them, your record will show that your probably telling the truth.

If you tell the truth - and it's not absolutely bonkers - then I don't think it's reasonable that it will hurt your chances.

I had to re-read this to get it

In other words, If you're telling the truth then it won't hurt your chances

I don't think it will hurt your chances if you tell the truth.

As in if it truly wasn't him who got banned, and was his friend.
