TF2 Fans Create A Website To Track The Big Slappy Bans
Who has been lying about big butts? Saying they don't like 'em? Well, it seems Team Fortress 2's big butt keeps on getting banned for some reason. In fact, the famously cakey character known as Big Slappy has now been banned and unbanned more than a dozen times.

But, handily, there is a website that's been created with the specific purpose of keeping track of whether Big Slappy is banned or not. Highlighted by 'heavy team fortres 2' on Twitter, the website will be a neat guide for those tracking this ongoing saga.

However, the mod keeps on getting banned; continually oscillating between banned and unbanned with no explanation from Valve. According to the tracker website, Big Slappy is currently banned, the fifteenth time it has been so, and the last ban ocurred only 12 hours ago (at the time of writing).

Although what, if anything, Valve will do about it is anyone's guess (read: very likely nothing much at all).
Whether we will see the return of Big Slappy remains to be seen, but for those wanting a definitive answer
