Unban Appeal for avaster

In-game Name: avaster

Server: GTA RP

Steam ID: 76561198147274112

Ban ID: !!rpuk6559!!

Reason given for your ban: PEGI

In your own words, please type out why you think you were banned: On the 20th, I spoke with the admins/trainers who handled my police application case since it was declined for PEGI. Yangjiexi (the one who denied my application) relayed the information that I would turn 18 in a week to ConnorTheGreat. ConnorTheGreat messaged me via Discord asking for evidence that my birthday is in a week (the 27th), so I provided Connor with evidence that I would turn 18 in a week, and I told Connor that if more evidence was required, I would provide it. Connor said that this was fine and that he would not ban me. I will not post the evidence or the chat-log in this thread and would prefer to do so via private message if requested.

Today I was going to apply for police again, and before I went to sleep, I asked Connor if I needed to reapply for police since the only reason why I didn't get into the police was because of my age. I only wrote this to Connor because I didn't want to have to apply again if I didn't need to. I woke up about an hour ago, and I found out that my account had been permanently banned on the 26th, merely a few hours before my birthday (the 27th). For this reason, I suspected that Connor was the one who had decided to ban me. I suspect he didn't like me talking to him any longer, so Connor (supposedly) just laid down the ban. I don't understand why Connor (or whoever) didn't just ban me beforehand. I also don't understand why they banned me a mere few hours before I turned 18.

(*I'm not sure who banned me for PEGI or if it was Connor).

Why should we unban you? I was permanently banned hours before my birthday & by the time an administrator/moderator responds to this, I'll be 18. I also gave the administrator (Connor) who I think banned me, enough evidence, which he was originally happy with. (Initial DM - https://i.imgur.com/AhOJnhs.png). This changed (although I may be completely wrong) when Connor didn't like me bugging him the day before my birthday (the 26th) and banned me (*I only asked him one question, If I should reapply or if my old application could just be accepted). I understand that this ban is technically justifiable since I have not turned 18 yet, but I think this is pity (and I'm sure you would agree) since I will turn 18 in 1 hour from this post being sent.

Even if any of these facts are right or wrong, I will turn 18 in 1 hour. I can provide any moderators/administrators who look into my case a DM of what I sent to Connor and will try my best to cooperate. I understand you do not like to get into the "Rabbit Hole" for "Proof of Age". However; I have told everyone explicitly that I will turn 18 in a week, given everyone any proof if requested, never changed my story, the person who banned me had the hindsight of knowing my birthday was on the 27th, I had been told I wouldn't be banned, and I didn't lie about my age and say I was 18, despite it being a week away. I don't see why I should have to wait a "significant amount of time" for something I didn't intend to be malicious about and that has already passed.
I hope you understand the unfairness of this situation.

Please confirm that you have read the unban appeal process and rules: Yes

Hello @praisekek.

I am the staff member who placed this ban on you, due to the fact that you stated that you were underage in a Police application. 
The fact that you are suggesting or hinting towards a staff member banning you out of spite or because you were "bugging them", does not portray a particularly nice appeal on your behalf. This is not how we operate at RPUK, and if you truly believe this to be the case, I am unsure why you'd wish to return to be quite honest with you.

The information I had at my disposal, was simply your own admission of being under the age of 18 at the time, this being the sole reason a 'PEGI' ban was placed by myself.

The information you passed on to Connor, does not prove your age at all. Screenshots of previous applications, in which you stated to be underage, is only further proof that you are underage. For all we know, you can be much younger, claiming to now be 18 years old.


Please note that I am not requesting any form of proof of age, nor will any other staff member for that matter, and as stated in our community rules:
"Players discovered below this age may well find themselves banned, and due to the intricacies of privacy law, identity-fraud and commonsense, may not be unbanned for significant time."
