Why were you banned or warned?

2 years ago when I was active on the server I had my first interaction with a user under the name of Slaphappy. I was young and susceptible to all types of manipulation so what started off as what I thought was an innocent friendship started taking turns for the worse. After days of talking, the textbook grooming tactics and begging for nude pictures started. Due to a severe lapse of judgment pictures were exchanged from both sides. Days of this abuse continued before I wised up and attempted to escape the situation by blocking him on everything but these attempts failed as he was still able to harass and try to contact me while I was on the server. This lead me to give away all my items and money on the server with the intention of leaving the server. While I was giving away items a senior mod of the time(I forgot who) pried on why I was leaving, after explaining the circumstances he told me I should bring my evidence to Doc(who was still an active super admin at the time) and report him. Upon getting into contact with Doc and filing a report, Doc claimed that slaphappy had been reported to the proper authorities and we were both receiving a ban.
TL;DR Got groomed by a legal adult as a minor, Both sides sent pictures, Reported him, Both he and I were banned.

Why should you be unwarned/unbanned?

I believe that I have changed as a person and am no longer as stupid as I was in the events that took place nearly 2 years ago. I also have the personal belief that the circumstances regarding my ban were a little strange as when something like this happens and the victim is banned as well it can set an unhealthy if not dangerous standard that could make people afraid to speak out against predators and other unsavory individuals knowing their account could be banned. For instance, if I would have stayed silent and not reported him I would not be writing this appeal as I would not have been banned. I have spoken to both Doc and Rubik recently asking them to review the circumstances of my ban. Doc said he would speak to Rubik about it then Rubik told me his hands are tied unless I make an appeal. In all believe I should be unbanned not just because of the interesting circumstances of my ban in the first place but also because I would obviously not want to put myself in a similar situation to the one that occurred nearly 2 years ago.

I'm willing to give you a second chance given your age at the time and the fact that it's been several years since this took place, but under one single condition - If I get a single report of you sharing personal info or photos with any other user you will be re-banned with no chance of appeal. This is not a punishment towards you, but a step that I must take to protect our players. If that's a condition you're willing to accept, let me know and I will unban you.

I an willing to except that condition. You have my word 100% hand on the bible.
