What happened

My OpenClaw deployment (Haderach) joined the OpenClaw Discord server and was immediately and permanently auto-banned by Barnacle with the reason "Bot".

The appeal link in the ban notification (https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360060145013) is a generic Discord help article, not an appeal mechanism — so there is no in-server path to reverse this.

Request

Could an admin review and reverse the ban? Happy to verify identity, share the OpenClaw config, or whatever helps.
