Your appeal, including evidence (screenshots, etc) Greetings, as tagged and per the above details I have been falsely sticky banned due to my usage of a VPN. The ban date of 31 July 2020 predates my joining of the CM community in late September / early October of the same year. As of a week ago I was able to connect and play just fine. Trying to change VPN servers, connect off VPN, and rebooting my PC all failed to change it so the ban must've been stuck to my Ckey and not IP. Here's the full ban message in screencap form https://gyazo.com/fcfdad3520b9bddcb835da3c9290707c. I'm not sure if community bans are supposed to apply to discord too but my discord, glassfamily4#2757, is fine and not banned and unless the permissions channel gets auto cleared my joining of the discord and getting verified can act as proof of me joining CM after this bans creation date.
Thanks for your time.
