I think you might be right, but I honestly have no clue. I'm trying to do what I can to get this problem taken care of without trying to be pushy and impatient. There are a lot of admins around, but they are around for a reason. They have things to do.
In the meantime I'm reading and rereading the rules, thinking about my character and his personality traits, and just trying to become an active member of the forum. I have little to no credibility here, I don't know anyone, so all I can do is what I think will help me be a better player for this RP server and be patient.
Hopefully sooner rather than later, an admin goes through all these and figures out the problem. They must be already because there is a spot for a discord ban appeal but the appeal form doesn't exist. So just based on that I can assume they're aware and they're working on it. I have noticed that they use the server ban appeal for issues other than server bans sometimes (like errors resulting in wrongful bans), so I can only assume they would do the same for discord.
In reality, who tf knows, I'm just speculating based on what I've seen and hoping for the best.
