I jokingly said I was 10, a ~ ranked guy said whoa really, then I was disconnected from the server... Was I banned? :S I'm 18 if it really means that much to you guys

Firstly this belongs in the ban appeal thread.

Secondly we are required by law to perma ban anyone under the age of 13 under COPPA.

Obviously when people say this sorta thing it is hard to tell whether it is infact a joke or not so this can be fairly complicated.

COPPA is non-negotiable. Do not make jokes that would run afoul of it.
