Your side of the story: Yesterday, I was involved in an unrelated scuffle with Space Inaba (whom he and I have a history with). Immediately following this, Inaba scoured through old forum posts on an unrelated forum - digging up old jokes, web archives and intentionally misrepresenting them as proof that I am under aged. I requested said proof when I was notified of my ban, and was told that the burden of proof rested on me. I obliged, providing my community college ID. I was then told that my banning admin was not qualified to verify the proof he requested - Instead, I sent said proof to the other two headmins; Armhulen clearly stating "I have ZERO part in this" and CitrusGender explaining that proof does not need to be provided "because Reasons." The next morning, Citrus attempted to disprove my proof by claiming that I was a junior in high school - citing forum posts made 4 years ago on a forum unrelated to SS13 in a joke thread. I attempted to explain to him, using screenshots from the time and the present that the inclusion of the number 14 was a years long running gag between me and the user posted in the screenshot, to which I was ignored, solely because my age set on the website at the time also just so happened to be in line with the joke.
Citrus did not take kindly to the proof I provided - I was first accused of being a high school junior who was dual enrolled in community college - to which I debunked, pointing out on my uni's website that a high school or equivalent diploma is required for entrees. Citrus then changed his angle, accusing me of being a part of my uni's "Early Enrollment" program. I explained that the early enrollment program requires participants to complete their junior year - an impossibility given his accusation, as he had earlier accused me of being in my Junior year. His response to this was a very decisive "iunno." Citrus then demanded I walk myself to the DMV and pay money, wait weeks for an ID to be delivered, then take a photograph of that private document partially blurred solely because he could not explain how I could possibly own a college ID whilst he continued to be right. He then further attempted to coerce me by taking a photograph of his ID, sending it to me as some sort of offering in attempt to make me feel like I owe him. I then proceeded to send him photograph of my High School ID, time stamping it. Citrus refuses to respond.
Why you think you should be unbanned: I have provided proof that I have graduated high school and have been attending community college for nearly a year - effectively doxing myself in the process. I don't think a rumor started by someone with a bone to pick with me fueled by forum posts taken out of context.
