Summary not on source bans but banned

Detailed Explanation
today i joined a zombie escape server and found i was disconnected quickly and i was banned, i went and tested this on other servers to no avail however im not even on source bans AT ALL. so therefore i cant write a ban appeal without a proper link towards a ban that apparently doesn't exist

You are joining from a relatively new account from an IP detected as a VPN.

I have rearranged the code so the kick with this reason should show up first but any subsequent connections will say you are added to a ban list. There is a 1 minute ban on the ip to prevent connection spam with a VPN.

tyson you are connecting from Microplex from which there is a serial cheater repeatedly making new accounts to dodge bans, and spicy you are connecting from t-mobile which allows cheaters to easily change ips.

No that just means you should see the reason for your kick the first time you connect instead of a generic message.

I bumped the account age limit down a little bit for vpn detected ips. Maybe you can connect now, but if you can't then we're not willing to change it.

In order to protect ourselves from cheaters we need to draw the line somewhere.

The VPN scanner was restarted so the age limit was reset to an old and lower value. We reserve the right to change the limit as we see fit.

Your account is relatively new which is why it did not meet the cut off when we restarted the vpn checker.

I understand these rules and wish to thank you for your effort for resolving this

I've been on skial for about a year now and I too received the uncalled ban. Can't go on the 2Fort to hang out as usual. I do use VPN I'll be honest. How can I get "unbanned"? Especially since I'm not even on ban list and can't even appeal? I checked the ban list and I'm not even up there. It's frustrating to say the least.
