BYOND account:

Ban/note type (Check what applies): Server ban

Ban/note length: 1 year
Ban/note reason:Admitted to being underage in OOC. When questioned, said he was 17. While I respect your honesty, we don't permit anyone under 18 to play here. See you next year. This ban (BanID #71922) was applied by Vekter on 2024-08-06 14:01:07 during round ID 233810. The ban is for 365 days and expires on 2025-08-06 14:01:07 (server time).
Time ban was placed: 2024-08-06 14:01:07
Server you were playing on when banned: Terry
Round ID in which ban was placed: 233810

Why are you making this appeal?(Check what applies): The ban/note is factually incorrect


Why should this appeal be accepted?: While the ban was fair and placed correctly, today is my birthday and now im 18. I actually dont feel any different from yesterday but i now meet server requirement to play so please unban :)

Sorry, but no. I don't trust you on this and have no way of verifying it to be true.

Okay, here's the problem.

Our enforcement of rule 9 is basically done on the honor system. We trust that, as long as you don't mention whatever age you are to anyone, you are over 18. We kind of have to do this, otherwise we would have to do age checks and require some form of proof of ID, which is extremely messy from a legal standpoint and opens us up to being provided a lot of extra information we frankly just don't want. The rule basically functions like those little pop-ups on a porn site that say you have to be 18 - as long as you say you are, you are.

The issue here is that you fucked up and told me you weren't 18. Now, all I can really do is take your word for it and assume two things:
1) That you are 17 years old, and
2) That you don't turn 18 for another year.

Which means you get banned for a year.

tl;dr All you had to do was tell me you were 18, you didn't do that, so you got banned. I'm not lifting this. See you next year.

im just very honest person, also what if im gonna be 18 earlier than a year do i still have to wait for a year?

Yes, and while I respect your honesty, this rule is one we can't allow to be broken or bent.

[Abkhaz]

ok sorry

[Vekter]

Technically, you can request a head admin review of this, but I can promise you they aren't going to lift it given previous situations like this.

Otherwise, I'll just go ahead and lock this up.
