Exploit detecting and logging script is not working

I have a script that I use for detecting suspicious activity on the client, and then that information is sent via a remote to the server, where a “log” is created that creates a post sent to my Discord server (using a Proxy) that also then kicks the suspected exploiter all on the server.

Previously, my anti-exploit kicked players on the client, but this didn’t allow for me to measure/log people who got booted.

This logging script I have used in other games, and it has worked before. Initially, I thought that it was something wrong with the Webhook/Proxy, but I did some test messages, and those went through. I have a couple of print statements inside the code that is supposed to print when the logger is activated, but they don’t print! And stranger, the player still gets kicked with this code, despite everything else not working!

Here is the following code:

--- this is the code that activates when the player exploits
game.ReplicatedStorage.playerEvents.kick.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,reason,Type,kick,ban,msg)
	print(tostring(player),tostring(reason),tostring(Type),tostring(ban),tostring(kick),tostring(msg)) 
--- above print statement doesn't work, but apparently it still fires the below source of code
	logger.new(player,reason,Type,kick,ban,msg)
end)

--- here is the code from the log module
local HTTPService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local autoBanAccountAge = false --- set to true if needed.
local autoBanMinAge = 30

local log = {}
log.__index = log

function log:sendSpawnKill()
	
end

function log:sendTeamKill()
	
end

function log:sendExploit()
	print("Logging Started")
	local link = "" --- the link to the webhook and proxy would be here. it works, but for security purposes, I am censoring it on this post
	local post ={
		["username"] = "Officer Johnny";
		--["content"] = "",
		["embeds"] = {{
			["title"] = "**Player kicked from World War Tycoon "..tostring(self.gameType).."**",
			["description"] = tostring(self.player.Name).." was kicked for malicious activity",
			["type"] = "rich",
			["color"] = tonumber(0xFF8C00),
			["fields"] = {
				{
					["name"] = "reason",
					["value"] = tostring(self.reason),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "server id",
					["value"] = tostring(self.server),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "banned?",
					["value"] = tostring(self.ban),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "kicked?",
					["value"] = tostring(self.kick),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "plr UserId",
					["value"] = tostring(self.id),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "Account Age",
					["value"] = tostring(self.age),
					["inline"] = true
				},
				{
					["name"] = "**Link to Profile**",
					["value"] = "https://www.roblox.com/users/"..self.id.."/profile",
					["inline"] = true
				},

			},

		}},
		print("Embed Made")
	}
	local Data = HTTPService:JSONEncode(post)
	HTTPService:PostAsync(link, Data);
	if self.kick == true then --- this gets executed though!
		if self.msg ~= nil then
			self.player:Kick(tostring(self.msg))
		else
			self.player:Kick("You have been kicked for suspected exploiting.")
		end
	end
end

function log:ban()
	---un used for now
