I can't help but feel like that is a bit harsh for something so minor, done only once. Reading around this forum, statpadding and other TOS violation bans have been lifted, and those are deliberate. Look at my stats, I don't care about k/d, win/loss, or anything else. I just play to have some fun, but of course not at the expense of others as it is with cheaters. I wasn't using aimbot, wallhack, or anything like that. It was a dot marking the center of the screen. Reading more on PBSS it seems that it often flags cheats like wallhack, so I understand it could be kind of hard to prove on my part it was just a crosshair..

If a crosshair overlay is beyond any hope of appeal, so be it.

Appeal:

Just got back into BF4 recently, but found I couldn't play on a lot of servers since I just got "kicked by admin" message. Finally traced it back to here, and apparently it was 7 months ago. I was not aware that using a crosshair overlay was against EA TOS. I do fully admit that the screenshots are accurate (I was using an overwolf overlay). However, it was only for a short period of time to test it out, and I realized that the actual game crosshairs are more accurate and therefore quit using it. I have not used any third party overlay since, and will certainly not in the future now that I know it is against TOS. I'd greatly appreciate being unbanned since the majority of low-ping servers for me use BF4DB, but do understand that rules are rules regardless of whether I read them or not and will accept the consequences if that is to be the case. Thank you for your time and consideration.
