Banned from Discord server for no reason?

Not entirely sure where to direct this one. I've been on PC for 8 years now, love this place. Joined the Discord server a while ago but I wasn't very active on it so I deleted it from my client in a cleanup of my servers. Then, today, I rejoined and was insta-kicked before I could even do anything. I rejoined again, and now I'm not able to rejoin at all. Think I'm banned. Not sure why, since I didn't even type a single thing in chat yet, and I just want to be part of the community? If a Discord mod can shed some light on what I've done, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Oh. So that was you, I'm sorry.
You joined with the username "Rainbow", which immediately made me think you were a troll, as we have had numerous instances of users joining with the names of staff members and attempting to impersonate them - this is something we have to deal with quite frequently, and this is the first false positive.
If you wouldn't mind changing your username to RainbowNebula or some other variant and letting me know when you've, I'll go ahead and unban you.

Ah! No worries, just wondered what I could've possibly done without speaking to warrant a permaban. Would it be possible for me to keep Rainbow as my discord name but just change my nickname in the PC server to RainbowNebula when I'm back?

If you want to, but by the nature of how discord pings pick usernames you will probably get frequent accidental pings meant for me. That's happened before with similarly named users.

unbanned.
