I would also like to add that your donation status is completely irrelevant to what punishment you receive, or the term in which you serve it. Buying a rank is great gesture, and we highly recommend it, there are many other benefits to [God]. However it will not get you unbanned.
Vpns are disallowed in any case or form if you are found under a vpn and that ip is banned well that's your fault and you deserve to be banned as the server rules states using vpns are disallowed in general. "VPN/proxy services Do not use VPN/proxy services. You are responsible for the internet connection you use to connect to our services. If your IP address matches the IP address of a hacker because you used a VPN, your account will be banned. The easiest way to prevent this is by simply not using a VPN or proxy." That's false honestly the higher staff often checks the ips on accounts and if they see it a punishment might happen.
Okay, this is the last post I'll make on this but if they publicly admit they're using a vpn do you think they'll trust them? yeah, let me say "I use a vpn" and later makes a ban appeal saying it's my sister or brother it doesn't make sense or logical sense at all.
